The lie that Passive Means Weakness
Me: Minding my business as I drink with my friend and his friends in order to be supportive and get to know them.
Them: “Trump will save America”
Me: “Ok.” I take a sip and avoid the the tangents going on around me, but roll my eyes involuntarily as their never ending rants go on and on. It's not enough that I am silently enduring this abuse. I'm choosing not to speak on it. And yet …
Them: “Oh, looks like we got a feminist! I can guess, but, who are you voting for?” He knows, but needs the verbal confirmation to drive his point home.
Me: Kamala....

WHAT IS TRUE LOVE in
The eclipse of the moon is a eclipse of the sun, as it hides a change is gonna come as the same is true. FOR love is our happiness and support and encouragement, and respect with honesty and truth and trust. For sure we are still human beings, just looking for the betterment of our lives and life. YET with a positive level of substance in our relationship, that they are still by our side in the good times and the bad times. As in love with respect and supporting us together as one. That with a real honest commitment and consistency, and real communications between us. AS twin flames one...

Vengeance
It is said
History between people's
By it's very nature
Can and does
Become corrupted
By the ghosts
Within the the Darkness
In the minds of those
Who listen
To the Shadows
That demand
The circle of Pain
Should never be broken
History between people's
By it's very nature
Can and does
Become corrupted
By the ghosts
Within the the Darkness
In the minds of those

Alcatraz
I am attached to you’,
you proclaim as though
this has always been
your desired destination.
Your limbs drape around
mine, still sweating, as I
steady my body, hoping
to hide my quiver, while
I plan what feels like
an impossible escape
from my mundane, yet
fated future.
you proclaim as though

Violent Games
Do you want violent games? And my kiss with a bite?
And you know that my bite means I am so excited. Beyond!
Can I tame you, Tiger? With a passionate, spicy taste.
Make me beg for mercy, loudly! Force me to stay.
My movements are timid, you have killed me with passion.
I was resurrected in a wet kiss, Fire wound through your body.
Undressing me is important, Tearing off my clothes boldly.
You are a jerk, I know, Honey! I will hear from the lips.
You killed my fears long ago, And do not hide your audacity.

Nice Guy Chronicles III
My phone rang in the middle of the night
The number looked familiar
but I didn't have the contact saved
So I answered the phone,
might as well as find out who it is
'why did you stop talking to me?'
I couldn't recognize the voice
Yet her tone was clearly upset
'well um...' - for some reason I didn't ask who this is
To which she proceeded
'You see I bring value to people's lives and I cannot be where I am not valued'
We got ourselves a motivational speaker I thought to myself.

Cutthroats & Cutlery
When he found out how things really were between men & women
He was shocked how cutthroat both sexes were to one another
It was a drag to find out that everybody knew all the same shit and everyone played it off like it was nothing
All the things that go unsaid
They get shoved into your guts like cutlery
All the bullshit sex etiquette
It's like a miniature cold war
What a bunch of lies & ego trips
That's why all these people were so freaked out about each other
It's one big club

Unwilling To Conform
Burning the candle at both ends
Constantly being spread razor thin
Running sprints never marathons
Some races weren’t meant to win
Taking risks in this constant game
Doubling down on chaos tomorrow
Breaking free from a stagnant view
That bankrupts all those who follow
Driving communication to the brink
Navigating through this angry storm
Nothing ever bothers the status-quo
Except all of us unwilling to conform
Constantly being spread razor thin
Running sprints never marathons
Some races weren’t meant to win
Taking risks in this constant game
Doubling down on chaos tomorrow
Breaking free from a stagnant view
That bankrupts all those who follow
Driving communication to the brink
Navigating through this angry storm
Nothing ever bothers the status-quo
Except all of us unwilling to conform

love triangle
there once was a girl,
from whom i had learned
that love was soft.
then there was a boy,
that made me realize
i also wanted - let’s say - confidence.
and then, today, there’s both of them.
but wait, i woke up to a dream
and here’s my own love triangle:
he‘s caring, soft, and funny
he’s present, loving, and right.
i was so out of place
because i dreamed he was taken
and now i‘m out of place
because i never thought this would happen.
i want to spend my time with him,
and only him, ...
from whom i had learned
that love was soft.

you assume i'm fine
i know it wasn't right,
i know it isn't fair
to cuddle with you
to deeply want you
even though i knew you still love me.
even though i don't understand why
your friends seem to hate me
it hurts
but i assume that's what i deserve
after what you've been through.
now i'm afraid to fuck it all up
again.
i don't want to hurt you
again.
i want to share my life with you
again.
i don't know if i'm ready for it
are you ready for it?
because right now,
i'd jump head first
to get you...

Swollen Eyelids
Let me give a glimpse
Of my mind
Satan in my casket
She wears a red dress
With a smile that blinds
The logic inside
I confide
A summer night
I was high
Should have said it then
But if I reminisce
It'll change to blood
This burns my sternum
Cupid's eyes glisten
I confide
I shot him
I stabbed him twice
He was already dead
Decayed by my touch
I admit
I need to give it a rest
Too young to love
Younger to trust
The hills have eyes ...
