Ink IV
Fresh ink
deepest black
flowing from a dipped nib
glistening across the page
Reflecting light from midnight lamps
burning low
Finding my heart
bit by bit
Letting out the words
hidden away
in dusty corners of my mind
Forgotten
Ignored
Suppressed
Never spoken
Words I didn’t realize were in me.
Writing best done
in the quiet solitude of the night
Where uncomfortable truths can be written
away from the watchful eye of the sun.

Cinderella
Life isn’t fairy tales it’s more of an experience than that. It’s like Cinderella didn’t fit the shoe left behind in a twist of fate and she was left one shoe less and a bad taste of her first disappointment in her mouth . The prince married someone else and she was left making the best out of what she had . A strategic decision to clean up the mess and accepting life doesn’t always go to plan . It taught her life is always about being resourceful and resilience and maybe deep down it wasn’t meant to be . She put away the remaining shoe and what she thought what her life was going to be and...

It’s Time
it doesn’t matter
who’s shirt you wear
it’s time
to step out
of your capsule
to float
among the stars

Yin and Yang .
I am homesick for a place . I am not sure even exists. One where my mind and body are not at war , but accept peace. Work on an appeasement plans , I’ve paid enough in reparations a monthly instalment of high apr and drainage like a sewer. Those days , when my mind won and my body was left behind again . I don’t know how anyone walks or talks when there heart isn’t in cohesion .I just want a state of equilibrium. My forever home smelling of yin and yang ten drops of Cinnamon and 10 of chamomile and buckets loads of feng shui I mean that sounds like a plan and maybe I may find the balance act...

Masquerade
Wear a mask long enough
And it may begin to stick to your face
Smear your identity
Into something unfamiliar
Like looking in the mirror
And seeing a stranger
Imagery blurred
No longer the you...you once were
A shell of your former
Diminished...defeated...deflated
Finished...fine dotted..,grave plotted
Soul spotted in...
A wasteland of absence
One foot in yesterday's grave
Self lost & permanently changed
Branded with the stain...
" Here lies the spiritually static "
...
And it may begin to stick to your face
Smear your identity

Finished...fine dotted..,grave plotted
Soul spotted in...

Ms. Grinch's Cozy World
I am Ms. Grinch, In my little world,
where I alone reign,
With my coffee and voodoo dolls, my unique domain.
I avoid the crowds, oh yes, indeed,
In my cozy nook, I find all I need.
"Snug as a bug in a rug," I cheerfully declare,
With a twinkle in my eye and not a single care.
A cup of coffee, my morning's delight,
Brings warmth and joy, through and through.
My voodoo dolls, with their quirky grace,
Sit beside me, in their special place.
I hum my tune, both merry and light,
"Peace, weed, and coffee,"...

A cup of coffee, my morning's delight,
Brings warmth and joy, through and through.
My voodoo dolls, with their quirky grace,
Sit beside me, in their special place.

Only you .
You know girl you got is so wrong . All those disappointments were not to take you down . Yes you have been bought to you knees with a trembling heart and eyes that found it hard to see in the dark searching on a hand to hold . All these things were there so you could find your voice your legs your hands mind and your own heart . In such a way that you know how precious and necessary it is to live a life even when it feels all askew when bottom is the top and the top the bottom and friends and family are few and how love can stab you in the back while in your romantic inclination your heart...

Write for it
I write for it
Words fall easy
It’s the night for it
Fight for it
Voids begin healing
I will strive for it
Quite honest?
“Us” grew some distant
Since I wrote on it
Like on it
Start seeing me
Is it what I wanted?
Evolve
All these feeling turned into good cause
Love
The mirror’s picture - Yes I know it’s hard
Scars
Are it scars, if it’s the people you love?
Hard
Times will be the fuel to new start
Words fall easy
It’s the night for it
Fight for it
Voids begin healing
I will strive for it
Quite honest?
“Us” grew some distant
Since I wrote on it

girly girl 101...fail
I feel like there was a rule we were supposed to learn...
...maybe in school...
...on how to be a "proper" girl
I don't know what year it would have been but I missed it
that thing of not being heard...
...only ever seen
...even then only fully made up & artfully dressed
the war paint face, I reckon
again...yeah...I didn't get it
and that lesson in the art of flirting
...empty...giggly...vapid
nope, not me
I was the one with a mouth...
never trying to stand out...
...it just happened...
in the way that...

Rockin' Stilettos
I was tired of walking
in my own shoes,
the pain to bare
in Heartbreak blues,
so I did what any woman
in my position would do,
I bought Stilettos
to get over you.
Couldn't rock the sweats
with these high heels,
so I went shopping,
my bare legs revealed,
a mini skirt flared,
the deal was sealed,
I loved the look
and how it made me feel.
Had to lose the t-shirt,
needed something to match,
so I picked out a sweater
with the cleavage detached,
always kept myself...

amidst all the clatter
don’t find small talk easy, don’t feel comfortable talking to
strangers, no doubt, have remarked upon it doesn’t really matter

Taming The Dragon
I danced my way through hell
to be consumed in this dark hole,
spitting on the fatal fire
of an incineration to my soul.
This fairytale princess crushed
by evil addiction's needle,
my drug not of my choice,
withdrawals from needing him.
Majestic rainbows began to fade,
a pitchfork placed in my hand,
this stone cold heart frozen,
his love deserving to be banned.
This imprisoned room of recovery,
moon's light shining on my shackles,
barred to this desk of blank paper
as the midnight witch cackles.
...
to be consumed in this dark hole,
spitting on the fatal fire
of an incineration to my soul.
This fairytale princess crushed
by evil addiction's needle,
my drug not of my choice,
withdrawals from needing him.
Majestic rainbows began to fade,
a pitchfork placed in my hand,
this stone cold heart frozen,
his love deserving to be banned.
This imprisoned room of recovery,
moon's light shining on my shackles,
barred to this desk of blank paper
as the midnight witch cackles.
