Queen for a day, fool for a lifetime
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a hug
your ability to bore me is impressive
do you practice in front of your mirror?
you must have thick skin
the layers must have accumulated a horrific odor of skunk
what happens when there's no one left to put to sleep?
your obnoxious tendencies irritate me and all the others
you succeeded in being, "That obnoxious girl" no one likes
Here's a suggestion...
stop trying to one up or outdo whatever I or others have to say
it's not an attractive trait
if you can't be respectable...

i hate-You?
I hate that I was attracted to you.
I hate that you affect me.
I hate wanting you.
I hate it all you see.
It started off great.
It was so sweet.
A twinkle in your eye.
I shuffled my feet.
Then you asked.
I said yes.
You wore a suit.
I wore a dress.
The meal was nice.
The talk was brief.
Didn’t want to say goodbye.
Didn’t want to go to sleep.
The night was perfect.
Intense was passion.

lies and fiction
sensational painful hurt
keen in metaphors and slam the door
on all double talkers
cruelty is its own master
the divinity of the flesh causes distrust
you eat lust and dust
dangling a pretty carrot
will you also eat from a liar's breast
instinctual education I was your love
disappearing memories I see the sky alone
and a sun that burns
you can only reach so high
before the clouds dissipate
and your imaginary dinosaurs disappear
with a light wind
leaning on my kindness
is it folly to think it...

COLD SHOWER
She broke his heart
And wounded his soul;
His hormones badly
Needed control.
He was left
Emotionally raw;
He knew that night
There would be no 'score'.
He undressed,
Taking a cold shower
To ease his body
Of lust's power.
The water took
Downward direction;
As, later, his
Use-less erection.
And wounded his soul;
His hormones badly
Needed control.
He was left
Emotionally raw;
He knew that night
There would be no 'score'.
He undressed,
Taking a cold shower
To ease his body
Of lust's power.
The water took
Downward direction;
As, later, his
Use-less erection.

You don't understand me
From woman to man and man to woman. There will come a time in each of our lives, that we will come to that fork in the road, of trails and tribulations. For I'm not alright and neither are you, not willing to understand the deepness of my hurt, and spiritual pain when you ignore my cries, when I try to reach out to you. 😭 Treating me like I was one of your tools, out of your tool box 🤨 when you are done using me. 😞 For you were never like that before when we first got together, for you told me it was love at first seeth and that you was happy, that we met with real...

she used to look at me like she hated me
...my mother's mother...
wanted to erase my existence from her reality
mom always said it was all in my head
...that I was just being too sensitive
{I got that a lot growing up...}
until one holiday when I was 15
that woman sent a box of presents
lovely wrapped packages for mom & my sister
...complete with shimmery bows & pretty labels
each of them receiving warm fluffy robes
{they even had big pockets!}
...& matching slippers for them both ...

darkness doesn't need stars or a spark to highlight itself
gently shrinks the twilight's brimming eyes
to a bokeh of starry diamonds in fluffiness
flows from the frontally stared nothings
to the unfocusingly glanced sideways
in some subtleties
how easy it is for you
to shed this love
and wear on
those fading shades
at such rudity precision and pace
that even shames a chameleon
how whorish you try make me feel
from your roughened tongue
that's dismembered
from lively arterial strings
since unremembered times
as you spell black and white...

I'LL BOTHER YOU NO MORE
YES
I am a slow
learner but
once I learn
it is never
forgotten or
worth spending
idle time trying
to go through
a dead-end..
I
tried being coy,
casual and up front.
sometimes feeling
a brief ray of hope;
BUT
I have learned another
lesson in the life
of a wannabe poet:
"Enough fooling yourself."
I
will never bother
YOU again.
P.S. No! I'm not leaving DUP. Thanks for your encouragement.

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

Eyes (incapable of lies)
if eyes
are incapable
of telling lies
why wont
you look
deep into mine
is it
the ugly
veneer
that hurts
your
eyes
through my eyes
you wont
see my soul
but what is
deep within
my heart
but this
honesty
you still fear
because
of past
lies
still you wont
look in my
eyes
for it seems
some truths
are too much
are incapable
of telling lies
why wont
you look
deep into mine
is it
the ugly
veneer
that hurts
your
eyes
through my eyes
you wont
see my soul
but what is
deep within
my heart
but this
honesty
you still fear
because
of past
lies
still you wont
look in my
eyes
for it seems
some truths
are too much

Why have you forsaken me?
Dawn of our journey.
We found our path,
an embrace like a first station,
hope in every breath.
Together we walked facing fears
in the sacred spring.
The weight of the cross came
as doubt whispered in the wind.
Our love staggered under its heavy burden.
With each step, the road grew steeper,
yet, we bore the weight
through shared tears and laughter.
We stumbled and fell thrice
in moments of despair.
We rose, driven by the light in our eyes.
Giving strength to carry on and believe in us.
