my sister and cancer
My sister and cancer
Maybe it was in 1946
when the winter was very hard
the big lake outside town froze solid
my brother had given me an old pair of skates
something with leather binning, I think
I could get them on
A young girl came; she was sweet and kind
helped to fasten the leather straps
I asked my brother who she was
She is different from the girls on the street
who were giggling a lot and smoking in the basement
My brother said she was my dad's sister
at home, I asked my mother about my other sister
she...

bullying
The bullying
In 1945, yes, I know it is; a long time ago
in fact, 80 years ago, a war had ended
and many children went to school without
breakfast that consisted of scones
with brown goat cheese and a small bottle
of milk, there was no restriction on how
many scones we could eat
a family didn't want their children eating
at the school, as they proudly pointed out
they could feed their own brood
the children were bullied because
their family was different from us
The whole working-class neighborhood
had gone...

Unconditional love
"Why do you love me?"
He asked with eyes full of tears
"I don't deserve you"
He said as a tear started to run down his face
"I put you through so much shit,
and you still stay. Why?"
I tried to hold back tears
as his words hurt my heart
I gently explained
"There is this beautiful thing
called unconditional love" I said
A smile lit up his face
I still feel like he doesn't understand
Nothing he could could do
could make me lose my love for this man
Losing him would be worse...

Crazy in love
People tell me I'm crazy
because I won't give you up
They wonder why nothing you do is bad enough
Bad enough for me to run
Bad enough for me to be done
I'll admit I'm crazy
Crazy in love
My love for you out weighs
all the bad you've done
They ask why I don't hate you
The truth is I can't
I can't explain the happiness I feel
when you hold my hand
I've tried to give you up
I've tried to say it's the end
But I always end up running back to you again
When I try to give you up
my heart screams in pain ...
because I won't give you up
They wonder why nothing you do is bad enough
Bad enough for me to run
Bad enough for me to be done
I'll admit I'm crazy
Crazy in love
My love for you out weighs
all the bad you've done
They ask why I don't hate you
The truth is I can't
I can't explain the happiness I feel
when you hold my hand
I've tried to give you up
I've tried to say it's the end
But I always end up running back to you again
When I try to give you up
my heart screams in pain ...

unhurried morning
unhurried morning
The bay window
showed me a beautiful vista
as young eyes see nature
This sight worried me
was there a message here?
Showing me what I will miss
when I shall be dust
blow in the wind of forever

what the paper said
What the paper said
A newspaper I sometimes read is not happy
that billionaires dabble in politics
the paper is partly right; especially if the rich
The person who thinks about it is not liberal.
People who are successful in relative youth
tend to inflate their importance, ask what
do I know how to fill my time in service to my
country, even though they know it is about
themselves and well-being to use their
business acumen to benefit for the state
and at the same time, give them importance
on an international level ...

Summary:
Terra makes up for the past and thanks Raven.
Work Text:
"Raven, I want to confess. Beast Boy, he took me here while y'all were gone; it was awkward. And if Beast Boy is really yours, you can have-"
Raven looks at Terra at the front entrance of Titans Tower. She's the only one awake among Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg. And she hugs her deeply.
"Raven, I-"
"Don't. It's okay. I know. Your past was similar to my own. Your darkness reflected my own, and I forgive you."

FORGIVING UNFAITHFULNESS
IN
the ebb and flow
of life there are
bright days, dark days
and nights that seem eternal.
IN
the trials, challenges, and days
when the check comes
in the mail; we are continually
reminded that we are human
operating with freedom of choices,
and some choices aren't good.
I
know I overreacted when I discovered
your unfaithfulness--it's that human
side again. But there was, and is,
stronger than hurt in my heart and soul
and that is forgiveness; not because
you asked me,
BUT
because I deeply,...

Bambi my dog
Bambi, my dog
She was in a deep hole tied to a stone
I rescued her
She was fearful of me and hid under the sink
when she did, but not totally, I think, trust me
I'm not of the kissing cuddle type that lets a dog
sleep in my bed
She was happy when I stroked her head after
she had been chasing rabbits
She slept in the hallway until I noticed it was cold
let her sleep on the sofa
In the morning, she didn't enter my bedroom
stood and barked until I got up, telling
her to fuck off and let her out
When she came back in,...

so easy
Scenes of love
I love you, but you love the mirror
thinks your nose is perfect
green eyes and rosy lips
your fragrance has a narcissistic
allure, as you take the last look
in the hallway mirror before
leaving for the ball
Ah, the way you walk, pavements
adore you, rain shies away to
save your hair from bother
When you cross the road, car horns
blast by themselves, white cars
turn pink
The sun doesn't burn your skin
makes it golden in the afternoon
and glows in the night
Until one day, the mirror...

hurricane
The Hurricane and Florida
The green valley near the blue lake
It sounds like a color combination by a happy incident
it was the weather of the day that made nature
impossible romantic
near the lake where Pink Salmond swam and
silver trout vake, in a cave, the Huldra lived
She was beautiful, but not by a human standard
her pussy hair was so long it covered her body
like a hairy curly suit
Could she sing, not half?
snow on mountain tops melted, and bears woke up
from winter rest, blueberry blued in April
I sensed...
