Labels and Boxes

 


Labels and Boxes
By Annette Camp
March 27, 2024

Recently in an
online profile, 
I was asked
to select from
a dropdown
"up to" five
orientations.

Quickly scrolling 
through the list, I
immediately chose
Lesbian and Queer. 

However, the list
kept going on and on.
Some of them I knew:
sapiosexual,
homoflexible, 
asexual, bisexual 
and pansexual.

Others, though, I
had to look up,
because I have a
new-age curiosity.

Benignosexual.
Finsexual.
Fraysexual.
Gynesexual.
Noetisexual.
Aceflux.

Oh me, oh my. 
Then there was an
additional romantic
orientation category.

I won't go into all
of those. However,
I will say I'm
abroromantic.
There's no need to
look it up, because
it could change.

If you want a
play partner(s),
there are other 
options as well.

Unicorn.
Kajirus.
Stone top.
Cuckcake.
Hucow.
Vixen.
Gorean.

So many labels and
boxes. For me,
I just lead with 
love and kindness.

Look Both Ways


Look Both Ways
By Annette Camp
March 24, 2024

When I 
saw her, I 
swiped right.

For chatting?
Friendship?
Something casual
or long-term
relationship?

My only focus:
that smile and
those blue eyes.

Attraction is
so much more
than physical.
Little did I 
really know.

It wasn't about
beauty really,
but a journey.

It was about
connection, 
exploration, 
adventure, 
and love. 

Daily choosing
to love another
unconditionally.

A loving 
unconventional 
relationship. 
No boxes 
or labels.

It was a daily
choice. Until
it wasn't. 

I've learned to
ask more questions,
and look both ways,
multiple times,
before crossing 
the street.

Oh, That Dream!



Oh, That Dream!
By Annette Camp
March 2, 2024

And I was
having such
a good dream.

You woke
me from
that, why?

Oh, I want
to go back
to my dream!

It has been
one of those
nights...

My Heart Hears Love

 


My Heart Hears Love
By Annette Camp
February 27, 2024

My heart hears love
when happiness
and joy take up
space in my being.

My heart hears love
when my soul really
connects with another
someone or something.

My heart hears love
through a feeling of
warmth and sincerity,
peace and security.

My heart hears love
accompanied with deep 
affection, and tenderness
for another's well-being.

My heart hears love
when truly valuing
and honoring that
without expectation.

My heart hears love
in the company of
genuine concern in
the purest form.

My heart hears love
in the emotional bond 
strengthened over time 
through supportive action.

My heart hears love
in the unlimited oozing
of unconditional 
acceptance.

Love is a choice of 
powerful freedom and
my heart hears love
as it manifests itself.
