Kipp

I was thinking about my boyfriend

Dear Jury of the World

His name is Kipp, my lover to me

He's a walk in the woods, a cherry coke in the summer heat

I'm the artist, lost in his nature

I'd do anything to be the can that holds him

He's a bear with the heart of a lion, eyes the color of forest night skies

I'm lost on his mouth and I find myself a river on his neck. 

When he's away, my paper heart crumbles, how am I supposed to live without life in my presence? 

He's my love, the perspiration of my fever breaks. God, how can I live?

Oh I love him more than a baby could cry, more than a woman could care, more than a man could yearn

And this is why I have done my sin.

I won't ask forgiveness from you, the jury, because I am a woman in love. I will choose death over a life without him, Kipp.

My Kipp, My Love, My Dionysus

Goodbye dear gentlemen of the Jury, I mourn you

Hello! I’ve been reading your work and found the emotional rhythm incredibly natural. Some scenes felt almost designed for visual storytelling.
I’m a professional comic/webtoon artist working on commission, and I’d love to connect if you’re curious about a visual take.
