Everybody's Got A Poem
A father's poem
designed to justify wrong
Mistaken for love
A mother's poem
Designed for meek excuses
Having turned away
A daughter's poem
Designed for paying for sins
Never committed
A lover's poem
Designed to heal the broken
Like balm on cracked lips

Licit Theft
Not against the law
Is breaking somebody's heart
Stealing it either

Nobody's lover
Just a wild-growing flower

LIFE
He came to me
not to bid me good night
but to expunge the spark of my life
To live in fear
rather than faith
makes a child grow inwards
When hands don't caress
but claw at skin and hurt
you learn how to hide within yourself
My body is mine
too terrorized to articulate
a child's fundamental right of inviolacy
When I chose to stay from harm
although it meant punishment
the healthier alternative was mine
When a mother
chooses to look the other way
which way remains for a daughter ...

BIRTH
Coming into this world
you need to be greeted
with open arms
When those arms won't unfold
in time to catch you
your fall will be infinite
When you fall
you either shatter
or just become as strong as many
Having gotten strong
You may piece yourself together again
in which way depends on yourself
Fuck those who fail their kids ...

Illusions
Girdle of roses
Tightly twined 'round brittle hearts
Thorns' stinging kisses

Always
You won't let me go
Shared breaths and vows in hushed tones
One foot on my heart

Gone
What's life else than clouds
Racing across deep blue skies
Then gone on the wind

One day - maybe
Will we ever cease
Coupling heaven and abyss
Though we're poles apart

The way I am
I’m not sorry for using my heart as a trap.
Once you’ve been caught it’ll never set you free.
It’s exciting to hear you beg and cry for attention.
But won’t let you go until I’m bored with you.
I’m not sorry for you getting lost within my magic triangle.
The murky Venus trap devours you greedily.
How you struggle to escape that vortex of desire.
Will swallow you whole and spit out the bits and pieces.
I’m not sorry for turning words into knives.
The blades are going to mutilate each word of yours.
My fun is watching you...
