When that Saturday burned our Sparrow
When time is a burden
I catch the lament dangling
from your lips,
and in that swelter,
I gulp down a
winter of parched smiles
and water downed frowns;
cold and filling
nourished yet greedy
I wrap a star-dusted tourniquet
around the wound of your
dissipating grace,
may it, slowly seep
into the garden of our lies
and bloom a fountain
to feed our neglected forever
and please I implore,
leave me, a morsel
of your Sundays clarity
to bury in my Monday's...

unrequited love
Sometimes, I wonder if you think of me; if at night, when the world herself has gone still and quiet, and the moon has come out to play and mourn for her lost loves, if you begin to think of me. Do you remember what you did, and everything you said?
Because I do; I remember it all.
I remember being the only thirteen year old girl with a boyfriend who was twenty three years old,
I remember being the only girl to experience confused arousal, because boys my age didn't even know what some of the things you told me about were; and neither did I.
So do you feel bad, about...

codependency
does every sin need a savior?
or our sun require the moon?
did the earth marry gravity to spin?
i don’t care then, if my mind buries your name
in its memorial graveyard
go ahead, see if i care
try me, test me
i don’t need to win
you belong here, we don’t need a
how, why, or when
independence is a friend
too bad for you, then
if a matchbox could speak, it would
over how many times you’ve set ablaze
those entitled, sappy letters
before crucifying them to your fireplace
and you’ve burned more than paper ...

Tainted Strawberry Mist
The sirens are shrieking from the water hose
Keep the umbrella over your head
So the confetti doesn’t sink into your bones
Smash the hammer in your ears
Before they take over your soul
And you start eating rose petals
Twist the apple stem again
Trust me you don’t want this
Attracted to everything you don’t know
You wear desperation like cheap cologne
It feels innocent until they start
To poke holes in your butterfly scars
They seduce you with strawberry pop-tarts
Then tear out your heart
They...

ghost
i heard you, for you were a whisper
that tricked my ear
a mirage, for you were just out of reach
i never could catch you
and yes, your image emerged when i least expected it
our paths crossed many times
you were a crystalline reflection
not that of a mirror
mirrors break
but a face trapped in a wave
in the stillness of a lake, manipulated by the elements
distorted by my hand
but it never goes away, not fully
and now i wish you’d leave, but the moon
doesn’t cease its chasing
and last i checked, the stars...

Princess or dragon?
It was at that moment
That I realized you would always be the damsel in distress
No matter how many times I saved you.
You didn't want to be saved
Rather you chose the dragon instead.
Things always looked better from your ivory tower.
Until you got bored.
You sent word for help
And time and time again I wanted to prove that these cries didn't fall on deaf ears.
Tell me dear when the dragon started breaking your walls did you start to find it charming?
Did you swoon for him instead of finding it alarming?
...

arrested development
to be held again
oh, if only
swaddled, swooned,
and rocked to sleep
too fast it went
i blinked
years of lonely tears
abandonment
crying in a corner
while others took one’s hand
perhaps i was missed?
invisible back then
to eyes of those who cradle tenderly
love the children, beyond their own..
for if they saw, surely they’d sit beside me?
they don’t expect you to understand it then
but oh, if i only knew
the schemes, miserable reality
turns sour with time
the kids who suffer hell blindly ...

Enchanted Eden
In a garden filled with magical dark sorceress, mystical forces, in a land far medieval beyond the Christian ✝️ crusades!!
War wizards, and warlocks lined up, and all set to fall in, ready the battalion, and organize the brigade!!
Well orchestrated and formulated, out to conquer and dominate taking prisoners, and captives turning them into slave's!!
Lust driven! Given in, to forbidden sins,
Filled with wickedness, in chains ⛓ being whipped!!
Forced into submission, an made obedient your natural thoughts, is...

WHAT A DRAG!
Hey!
I just learned something
new
want to hear about it?
alright then, here you
go
this is how we can
save our children
it isn't automatic weapons
in schools that we need to
be concerned about
is isn't the fentanyl being
put in everything from
heroin, meth and pot that
we need fear
it isn't the brain rotting
social media lying
through it's cyber teeth
that we need be on
guard against
it isn't climate change,
ongoing covid vaccinations, ...

why do i miss you?
why do i miss you
the one who brought the drought
and, at the same time,
drowned me for everything that i had?
why do i miss you
the one to abuse me
at 13 years old
and locked me up in his room?
why do i miss you
the stupid, selfish
purely immature
teenage boy?
tonight, there’s no answer
there’s just a lack
lack of love and worth
of myself
there’s lack of physical touch
and kisses
and words of affirmations
words i fell for
and kisses i used to die for
so why...

Escape
You told me I needed to change, something was wrong with my brain. So i kept bending and bending, but you still called me crazy, and honestly I was starting to feel like maybe I wasn’t sane.
But no matter how much I changed, it was never enough. You wanted me to break. Years spent walking on egg shells, terrified to make a simple mistake, all the sleepless nights I lied awake, filled with heartache wondering how much more could I take?
And when you’d feel me pulling away, you always knew exactly what to say in order to make me stay. So I’d tell myself everything will...

Vaginal Intellectual Property with KristinaX
Your Vagina
My intellectual property
Nobody has access
Not even you
You gave up your rights
Now I own that part of you
The patent is binding
At least you get something
Strapped and savaged
Best deal of the year
It's for your protection
My pleasure
I hose you daily
Shiny and luminescent
Outstanding glow
Star power
We make a good union
I'll be by later
Papers to be signed
Be stunning
Cocktails at 7
The vagina is your receptacle
Obey and control it
