A HEART OF GOLD
David_Macleod said:Club Ladies
On the polished doorstep
East collides with West
There’s a faint aroma of menace
Irony smells quaintly ironic here
As a Polish bouncer stands guard
In front of a neon clad club
Where women dance on poles
It’s windows made of brick
Painted in dark glossy colours
Nobody is allowed to look out
All are forbidden from looking in
Entry is free but if you want to stay
You will need lots of cash

David_Macleod said:So much more
Within these walls I am your slave
To satisfy just what you crave
You sick and grubby little man
You’re just a freak, you’re not a fan
I’m not a slut, I’m not a whore
Don’t even try, you couldn’t score

Oh Goddess M...Your Sing piece is so pretty..wonderful compassion for the terrible unjustices done to the vast majority of sex workers. Who have no choice and no way out. It is a horrible thing. Very very nice doll...

Rebirth: A Dirge
Stop trembling, you. Stand tall, be proud;
You look perfect in that lingerie.
Yes, the monster's voice is very loud,
But you know better. Send it far away.
Let your hair down, braid it, cut it short;
If you would love it, let it be so.
No more of his mocking, done for sport,
That bastard's ship sailed a long time ago.
You're seeing what he's taught your eyes to see,
Stop looking for hate, as he often would.
Stretch marks, extra pounds - let them be
Badges, not flaws -- wounds of motherhood.
Wipe the tears. Don't you dare cry for him.
You were nothing but his 'filthy whore'.
'Love' spelled out in bruises - every limb;
No love should leave you sobbing on the floor.
Do and say what you like, now he's gone.
Become who you are. Shed that awful skin.
Let yourself be reborn, lovely one.
Your truest self lies buried deep within.
Emerge from your pain whole, pure and clean;
Bad memories, like bruises, fade away.
See yourself as you should e'er be seen:
Divine Goddess in red lingerie.

Jack_C said:Thank you! I'm not sure the theme was exactly on point, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
No worries, Jack -- there's lots of variety in a competition which I don't mind as long as there's something of the theme's feel, and close to something tangible from the theme. I enjoy that most of the entries are never of a cookie-cutter variety.
Glad you could join in. --Jade

A lady who lacked all glory
When I was a child, I had heard this story
about a kind of kind lady who lacked all glory
On a hot sunny day, a day like hell
she saw a thirsty dog, panting by the well
Thirsty and tired, the pooch would surely die
She couldn't bear to watch and keep on walking by
She took off her scarf and tied one of her shoes
She quenched the pooch's thirst with water she drew
She gave this dog something the society never gave her
The Almighty saw her act and instantly forgave her!
/*- Based on one of the stories I had heard since childhood. It is used to draw many morals mostly of staying kind to every creation and none should judge anyone as God is the only judge and so on...*/
