What has happened to my body is not my fault
How I reacted with my body is the consequence
That follows either me
Or you
But I don’t have to feel your grasp anymore
in the back of my mind,
Suppressed enough that I couldn’t see you,
But all you needed was a whisper
To possess my body
You did not just take it that day
You have taken it over and over again
Each day altering my mind
Recalibrating my nervous system
Convincing me I was never safe
I didn’t want to feel you again
I wish...

(Surge - NaPoWriMo 8 (2024 Official DUP Stomp the Prompt Comp 8)
He who controls the Love
controls the universe.
It is the shield
that withstands all,
the innovator
that overcomes
every mountain,
the water of life
that all can drink,
the font of inspiration
that touches everyone.
Hate is too unwieldy
A path only towards
closed eyes
and the large death.
The Love Must Flow
as without it
there is nothing to Life
and the universe is empty,
but Love can fill it
as an ocean
to a desert world.

Battles
In the realm of the ephemeral, where time is a whisper,
pills fall like rain, promises of pure relief.
Capsules of hope, swallowed with a dry sip,
in search of a cure in an almost echoless world.
Drills hum, in a constant and strong rhythm,
piercing matter, defying the cut of luck.
They spin in spirals like dances of power,
creating and destroying without ever fading.
And on the horizon, Ragnarok announces itself,
with trumpets and fury the prophecy begins.
Gods and men of intertwined destiny
in an epic encounter the end is...

The Climb
In a distant kingdom, beyond the horizon,
There lived a hero named Monte.
He was in no hurry or fear,
for in his chest he kept a cry.
Monte knew the journey was long
but your heart, like a sponge,
absorbed hope and faith
in the certainty that he would win.
He walked, through valleys and mountains,
facing storms and exploits.
He calmly faced each challenge
for he knew that after the night came a day.
"There's no rush," he said,
"Victory comes to those who know magic
patience and persistence ...

Girl Power
My dear, I see the pain and suffering in your eyes,
But you are the movers and shakers of the world.
You are the reason why I have the blood running in
My strong veins. Your pain is my pain and the guys?
They do not know what it is like to hold the curled
Words and watch them disappear into thick skin
So no one else sees their wounds. You are a warrior
And goddess no one else can ever become. Through
And through you are tough like leather. Like a star
You shine. You are becoming a healer and worrier
Because that is what the generations...

unmeasured & incalculable
do not think to measure her worth
based solely on her topography
the length & breadth of her geography
such values mean little
or nothing
compared to her incomparable depths
think not to judge by her surface structure
it pales to a mere glimmer
next to the incandescent shimmer
burning within her
she radiates potential
exudes power & strength
give her room
and she'll remake worlds
with her personal fire
yours included
if you let her
but never let it be said
she is the weaker sex
...

Abraham's Legacy
Few memes have spiked Western Civilisation more
than the vicious concept of ‘original sin’
a master-stroke of manipulation — its core?
The many are damned — a few self-righteous get in
Forced choice — binary division — heaven or hell
plus fear-guilt-shame tipped cleverly into the mix …
ask: whom does all this abject horror serve? Well, smell
the demon control-freaks with their carrots and sticks
Weird clothes and ceremonies embed the mystique
obscure language elevates the gate-keeper few
moulding...

Street Corner Pundit
People overlook what is right under their nose
like when the Emperor didn't have on any clothes
It took a kid to state a simple fact
While others whispered but, failed to act.
They were being blindly obedient to authority
Sadly, in this country that's the majority
"When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose"
and standing up for my people is the way I choose
The one thing I know is true
The system is out to screw me and you
While the powers that be dream of a new evil and how to fund it
I will...

Imbolc
Sun returns to earth
and warms cold, damp soil
Seeds awaken from dormancy
and new vigor springs from them.
And our eyes drink in the wonder!
Goddess blesses the earth and its interior.
The fields, the herds and the homes...
She brings healing, inspiration and art.
SHE lights the sacred flame.
And our mouths touch the dense sky!
Imbolc is time for renewal,
of cleaning out the old and preparing the new.
Honor the life that is reborn
and give thanks for the gift of fire.
