Dating all the way back to the 600s BC, violets have been used as a symbol of lesbian love. The Greek poet Sappho, best known for her lyric poems about love and women, described herself and a lover wearing garlands of violets.
In honor of Sappho, lesbian women in the mid-20th century would give violets to women they were wooing, indicating their 'Sapphic desire'.
These are my poems about celebrating women, sapphics, and wlw. I hope you enjoy.

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?

Alone With You (Remma)
"Every little thing seemed to bear a resemblance to the girl, whether it be the pool water which matched the blue of her eyes, or the painting of red roses in Emma's house which reminded her of Rikki's soft lips. She could now conclusively describe them as soft, as she had kissed them a few days ago." Along with hiding their mermaid powers from their parents and classmates, Rikki and Emma must also stow away their increasing desires for one another. There is no denying that they are in love, but who will admit it first? This is an H2O: Just Add Water fanfiction (RikkixEmma ship). I don't own any of these characters.Complete

They are seated by the pools, kissing, making out, staring at the other girls and laughing --- Irene finds herself stranded on an island, looking for her lost brother, only to find a whole city only for women. When she is taken to the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, everything changes. But who will she ultimately fall in love with?
