Dumb Things Narcissists Say #1
After She hired a professional landscaper
to come in and make Her fairgrounds hospitable
He still denied Her a face-to-face meeting
with the bearded lady
Only to then have the nerve to request
She play with His super-soaker
upon demand😑

Waves
I take a short drive to the beach almost daily.
Something about the waves make me feel at ease.
Calming my mind and grounding my thoughts.
The sound of the waves crash, I could listen to them all day.
The cold breeze from the sea blowing through my hair, cold tears dripping down my cheeks.
Looking out to sea.
Something about the waves make me feel at ease.
Calming my mind and grounding my thoughts.
The sound of the waves crash, I could listen to them all day.
The cold breeze from the sea blowing through my hair, cold tears dripping down my cheeks.
Looking out to sea.

She is, black history
She is my gift from the heavens, my antidote from being cursed, she is my smile that stop the tears, she is the perfect lines I’ve rehearsed, she is the black, to the power, she is the second, the minute, the hour. She is the one my creator assigned, she is the sight after the blind. She is my wife, she is, black history.
They are our six children, they are the daughters and son, of a king and queen, they are not our past, they are not our mistakes, they are not our slaves, they are not our mess ups, they are not our memories, they are not our failures, they are not our bad...

Life Moves On IV
As the greys begin to change
You fill my world with light
All the colours have restored
And the ice around my soul
Has melted away this day
With you, I'll stay
With you by my side
I know we'll be fine
When all of the darkness fades
And turns into light
No more lonely nights, just you and me together
With the promise you made me that this is forever
The past fades away
The pain is erased
With these moments together underneath the moonlight
Everything that matters is here in this moment
And together, as...
You fill my world with light
All the colours have restored
And the ice around my soul
Has melted away this day
With you, I'll stay
With you by my side
I know we'll be fine
When all of the darkness fades
And turns into light
No more lonely nights, just you and me together
With the promise you made me that this is forever
The past fades away
The pain is erased
With these moments together underneath the moonlight
Everything that matters is here in this moment
And together, as...

Imbas forosnai
poetically dwelling
where glacier silence
meets splintered light
your glimmering shade
falls frail ablaze
each perimeter uttering
scattered sacred patterns
Venusian vined
awaken me my love
pierced by a madness
atoms unknown
we who have cleared these ways
a plethora of garlands
anoints this mandorla
you are the rose pilgrim
let us carve across
a vision dim yet splendour
open winged
exalt now
for I have read
palmistries
sun...

Skin Like Baboo
I had a vision,
Controversy,
I would write taboo,
My skin like baboo
but seriously,
It all went to shit.
When those damn witch
hunters became possessed.
I only wanted a family
its why I encouraged the kids,
with their poise in poetry,
I was no serious villain.
Not with the children
I totally respected them
I only showed my peace
But a male mud innocent
burns like the other witches.
I only wrote subjectively,
of the beauty of young women,
and we are not talking...

New Religion
Burning bridges behind you
Laying waste to what's always mattered before
You change your life so completely
I wonder what it's all for
Love means nothing
In this new religion
You walk away unfeeling
The past is burning
I wonder how many times you've reinvented yourself
Always sure you could pull off the change
Making new friends and meeting new lovers
Always knowing that you'll leave them behind in the end
I wonder what it's all for
There's no real love
In your newest incarnation
And the past is a smouldering ruin ...
Laying waste to what's always mattered before
You change your life so completely

Love means nothing

The past is burning
I wonder how many times you've reinvented yourself
Always sure you could pull off the change
Making new friends and meeting new lovers
Always knowing that you'll leave them behind in the end
I wonder what it's all for
There's no real love
In your newest incarnation
And the past is a smouldering ruin ...

Mirror Magic
(Verse 1)
In the chamber of shadows, where whispers of night converge,
Hangs a looking glass, an ancient stage for the devil's dirge.
Reflecting not the truth, but a realm of twisted lies,
Where the souls of the lost forever fall and collide.
Welcome to the realm of mirror magic, so dark and deep,
Where the wicked dance and the damned forever weep.
Look into the glass, you're invited to the thrall,
Where your reflection's not your own, and you're about to fall.
(Chorus)
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
What dark secrets do you...
In the chamber of shadows, where whispers of night converge,
Hangs a looking glass, an ancient stage for the devil's dirge.
Reflecting not the truth, but a realm of twisted lies,
Where the souls of the lost forever fall and collide.
Welcome to the realm of mirror magic, so dark and deep,
Where the wicked dance and the damned forever weep.
Look into the glass, you're invited to the thrall,
Where your reflection's not your own, and you're about to fall.
(Chorus)
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
What dark secrets do you...

Night Of Love
On Valentine's night,
where words of love overflow,
I want to speak of a truer love,
the one that fills my heart without measure.
It's not the love of flowers and verses,
nor the love of letters and whispers,
but the love that beats in my chest,
the one that makes me feel alive and connected.
It's the love of my mother, who gave me life,
and the love of my friends, who make me feel complete.
It's the love that doesn't need words,
just a glance, a hug, a gesture.
It's the love that makes me feel at home,
when...
where words of love overflow,

and the love of my friends, who make me feel complete.

a passionate drive
you're
the fragrance of my soul,
you're
the reason of my joy,
you're
the craving of my curves,
you're
the most pleasurable desire
of my sweet puffs,
you're
the only one who leaves
briar scratch notes on my skin,
you're
the one who creates rock music
inside me with the sharpness of your teeth,
you're
that morning sun who kisses my tulip,
you're
the one who is ready
to give friction to my sighing petals
you're
the one who can claim every crack of my body,
you're ...
