Epiphanies are a Bitch
Forever isn’t as long
as we wish until
we believe it to be;
the days fly by
~ the city landscape,
50 mph at 2 am ~
the details get fuzzy
as the days blur on,
one into the next
stormy clouds,
reflected
in rain-soaked
pavement
love is a tricky thing
when we are young,
our self-preservation
takes a right fine shit
on every good thing
we ever attempt;
we’ve just learn’t the world
is painful
holy shit, I’m never doing that...

Vis-A-Vis Versus Verse
maybe because it's English,
or don't have religious belief
or transgender
a recent comment received
or maybe my poetry is rubbish
and perhaps i should write no more
but i did kind of hope for more response
is my writing really that poor?
i probably don't want the answers
the pain would be to much
and it's now gone three in the morning
and i'll start speaking double Dutch
but the truth to tell, i'm bored with life
and came hear for a lift
and thought i'd share my writings
not causing any rift

Exposed Faultline
Original sin
Chronic despair
Propelled pain
From unbalanced mind
Full of flaws
Figuring out
How to survive
No optimism
On the horizon
Entrenched depression
Honesty
Can be oainful
An igly truth
That has no beauty
For the eye
Fasten your seatbelt
This attitude
Has altitude
Exposed faultline
Waits for the fall
Along the way
Theres fuelled Anxieties
That moves the needle
Tiwards the vein
Of life
Chronic despair
Propelled pain
From unbalanced mind
Full of flaws
Figuring out
How to survive
No optimism
On the horizon
Entrenched depression
Honesty
Can be oainful
An igly truth
That has no beauty
For the eye
Fasten your seatbelt
This attitude
Has altitude
Exposed faultline
Waits for the fall
Along the way
Theres fuelled Anxieties
That moves the needle
Tiwards the vein
Of life

Alas, before you I stand alone
Alas, before you I stand alone,
Amidst no one else to adore;
There is no friend where I am blown,
This lonely abyss, and tuneless shore.
I’ve come to accept myself, aged and sore.
Within the looking glass I appeal once again;
Not by much, but little more
To become yet anew or, perhaps to begin.
Thus resigned to the world, I raise the curtain
Harnessed and trussed attached to my yoke.
What I’ll ne’er share, is with the devil I’d bargain{d};
Simultaneously smiling as I seethe and choke.

Better
Why does it feel bad to go out and do whatever I can to seal destiny?
I feel better knowing the future's looking gloomy.
I feel better knowing the future's looking gloomy.

Beware! Hazardous Waste
They say
You should try
Healing yourself
I prefer peeling back
The layers
That reveal the raw sewage
Of my soul
Its putrid aroma
Fills the air
Around me
Like morning mist
But not as alluring
Be wary of the snile
Its camoflague
Hiding
A multitude of sins
I incubate
These dark emotions
Give them breeding ground
To thrive
Define my existence
I create
I destroy
Wonder if i'm here

the journey to you
My love for you is like a lighthouse in the distance.
I see you and I know you are there.
Protecting me and guiding me along the way.
However, I do not venture towards you.
Rather I venture off into the deep dark blue sea.
I travel on my own finding my purpose for you.
The journey is long and tedious.
Along the way, the breeze taught me to be ever-flowing with strength and might.
The heat in the air taught me to wait patiently for the rain to come.
The stars in the sky taught me that there is light in the darkness.

destination
Did no one ever teach you that people are not destinations?
They are like the wind, blowing east to west.
They will eventually disappear as the storms subside.
Your heart does have a destination, but it isn't locked in someone else's mind
like a treasure in a chest.
It right inside you.
Just look a little closer and you will see,
your destination is of your own imagination.
They are like the wind, blowing east to west.
They will eventually disappear as the storms subside.
Your heart does have a destination, but it isn't locked in someone else's mind
like a treasure in a chest.
It right inside you.
Just look a little closer and you will see,
your destination is of your own imagination.

I envy you
I secretly confess
I'm envious of you
Your multiple talents
Your intriguing hobbies
Your creative thinking
Your successful life paths
Your selfless nature
Your curvaceous figure
Your connection with him
Your common interests
Your future together
You are everything I'm not
You have everything I want
Everything I'll never have
Yes, I envy you
I'm envious of you
Your multiple talents
Your intriguing hobbies
Your creative thinking
Your successful life paths
Your selfless nature
Your curvaceous figure
Your connection with him
Your common interests
Your future together
You are everything I'm not
You have everything I want
Everything I'll never have
Yes, I envy you

can't tell write, from wrong
that moment you realise
that epiphany
that slaps reality
around your face
that you are not the poet
you had hoped to be
and that
perhaps it is time
to lay down your quill
and put away your ink
and disappear
into the ether
my heart
bleeds dry
as my dust vaporises
and floats into a void

Mm... Allowing Fate To Take My Mind To Task
Mm… slowly pulling my red lacy thong up
The satin material serenading the softens of
my apple bottom cheeks
Breathlessly awaiting to be intellectually subjugated by nightfall
My favorite scent spayed up my thighs
and between the mounds of my supple breasts
Stepping into my six inches black silhouettes
waiting for the expectancy of the unknown to overtake me in pleasure
Capturing the mental stimulations of my erratic heartbeats
my undulated and eager physique sitting upon the throne on some erected wood
Kissing the seat of my...
