Why???
Why!?!
 
I think the universe
Is telling me
To fully become
A lesbian.

The Beginning in the End (or the Means to an End)

I remember when they…
When their voices turned to
Arms reaching out,
Hands grasping for,
Fingers clawing,
Catching,
Tearing me apart.

Their voices sweet,
Curling into sweet smoke,
Drifting, beckoning –
Forming hands grasping for…
Index finger curling,
Beckoning,
Tearing me apart. 

So I tore away,
Tore them all up.
I forced their voices into the dark –
Forced their arms to give break.
No more hands grasping for…
And no more hands to hold.
No more fingers clawing,
Catching,
Tearing,
Curling,
Beckoning,
Tearing me apart.

No more fingers intertwining with mine – 
Fingers against blushed cheeks,
Burning cheeks,
Plump with a smile,
Smiling complete joy.

Was that ever real?
Was it forced?
I don’t know what that even is
No more.
That’s not real,
Not a reality.

But it’s okay.
I don’t want,
Don’t even want,
Don’t need that
No more.

I truly believe
The energy in that house is sour,
Bitter from years of silence
And animosity 
And fear.

When In This Waking Sun

When in this waking sun of unrelenting beams
Kissing mute the resuscitating sleep to fade;
I contemplate with deep of true love a goddess
Enclosed in some impregnable wall in some place.

If you knew me you wouldn’t believe
I always had a bottle of some kind, morning, noon,
And eve
 
I felt so confused and lost
Hurting strangers and my family no matter the cost

I've got to let you go, cause all you've done is cause me pain
Whenever I found sunshine, you always made it rain.

Exactly Who I Am...

Hits: 982
Throughout my life I've hurt, smiled, dreamed and cried. I've screwed up, walked away, made promises and lied.
I've given my all, proved loyal, and always so quick to defend. I've stomped on dreams and broken hearts beyond mend.

When upon the rustling of the night;
The seed of light entrenched with death,
The dreams evocative and failure imminent
I seek comfort in poetry to rise my spirit high.

This is not all folly admire Autumn;
The nemesis of Summer o`erthrown,
All his high-praised glory gone in season
Heralding this wintry chill to reign unbounded.

The wintry incense of the withering leaves;
Sighing the reign of Autumn`s breath,
The shrivelled array upon the yellowing turfs
Earn sight true beauty of nature`s worth.

Thrive,thrive against the brink of doom;
Youth the panting breath in folly`s best,

Ridding perversity for the sake of betterment.
