Sorry I’ve been MIA on here. Dealing with mental health stuff. But I’m going live tonight on TT from 8:30-10 PM EST for our first Indie Author Hotline. My handle there is christophermtantillo. We talk all things writing, publishing, genres, etc. Ask us (or me) anything!

I’m dog sitting, away from home, and bored, so here we go. I do this on multi platforms and don’t want to spam your feed with non Bluesky ones. If you ask me from Bluesky, let me know so I only post Bluesky NGL’s here! 🫢🏼

What I would give
to be the linger
upon your lips
that quiver and
long and ache

Why would I go out and
soak up the sun when
I can stay in bed and
soak up all of you

What it is
to be but a
butterfly
that lands
upon her
skinβ€”
to touch
beauty so
delicately
without ruin
and to be
admired in
return.

Today is Suicide Awareness and Prevention Day. For those who don’t know me, this is a cause I am very passionate about.

You are not alone. You are valid in your feelings, but you don’t have to feel them alone.

Please call/text 988, the crisis lifeline (US line).

She visited in a dream,
reminding me that
not even death
could diminish
β€”eternal and foreverβ€”
the love for a
Goddess

Taking a break from posting poetry for a few days. Sorry for anyone who has been following me mostly for that lately. We’ll get back to that next week.

I don't know if you're the same person leaving these or you're all different, but it is SO nice and SO sweet. l often think my poetry is very safe and cliche and simple. I always feel a little invisible in my real life, so this means more than you probably think it does.

Thank you for saying that. I always hope my writing speaks to other people (even across oceans). That you feel seen and heard and have a voice. But I also like to treat others how I like to be treated. Don't you forget your light either. l can see it from here.

2. No, thank you for this. It means so much, honestly. πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯ΉπŸ₯ΉπŸ«ΆπŸΌπŸ«ΆπŸΌπŸ«ΆπŸΌ Truly reads like poetry, if you are a poet or writer. But I bet you’re strong and beautiful and fierce af. Everything you need is already within you. I mean that, whoever you are.

1. This is so hard to answer in this format. Truly. But I love to help out anyone who wants to get started in indie publishing or tips from my experience. If you’re comfortable with it, messsge me and we can talk about it!

I don’t want them nor will I ever give them. Being a man doesn’t give that a free pass from crossing boundaries. Respect me and I’ll respect you back.

Remember that content is NOT consent.

Thank you. 🫢🏼🫢🏼🫢🏼

This has thankfully happened few and far between (for me). πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

I would love to talk to you and get to know you more personally if you wish to know me personally outside of the content I post. But please do not send me unsolicited spicy pics or ask for them in return.

It’s why I LOVE soul-bearing conversations over small talk any day. It’s like an entire love language. You can know someone forever and still find surprises in them.

I love learning about people. Hearing their stories and pasts, how their experiences have shaped them, how they live their life and see the world. People can’t be replicated and they’re irreplaceable. We’re all so different and unique. Flawed, but beautiful.
