Conquistadora
Some of us are born
to be fireflies.
With our random light, in the dark,
it can seem aimless.
Some people complain
even as they chase us.
They think we're playing games.
But we're just trying to get by.
They want to pull off our wings
and our legs,
to make us into ornaments.
I guess there's worse fates
when it's time
to fade away.
I think the first word
I ever learned to say
was goodbye.
And it keeps being the last ...
to be fireflies.

Labelled Fictitiously.
So, you think you know her and what’s more how to fix her too. A good kick up the arse and less victim mentality would be a start.
Thing is you haven’t a clue and the times she has used triple x super glue just to hold herself in place to stand in front of you or beside you or maybe a fraction behind you.
Funny thing is when she sees you, she doesn’t look in judgment but more a secret high five in solidarity and her words are always thoughtful and considerate.
Behind a face that smiles are also ones who had to fight either demons or life and possibly their own thoughts alone...

Castle Walls
Lily was a little girl.
She lived in her castle walls.
When she was bored,she walked the castle halls.
All doors locked shut.
So she doesn't get hurt out there.
Where inside the castle walls,life was always fair.
But one day,she didn't listen to the warnings woe.
She ran into the woods,mountain low.
A comforting voice came into the rescue.
A magical purr.
Offering her happiness,gold.
Who wants to make her happy,and she wouldn't feel woe.
She knew she was hypnotised,by his love and affection. ...

Hole
I’m not sure what I was thinking
as she stung my nose with alcohol
placed on that blue clamp
found my perfect sweet spot
though I was just relieved to know
part of me had one amongst
my external prickle
my girl laid her palm on my hand
as a needle went through
I sat amazed that five years
of questioning this piercing
was reduced to no tears
no flinching
just a quick pinch and it was done
while I glanced in a mirror

Earthly Messiahs are usually sacrificed; and it's no different alas, with Jeremy Corbyn!
By Stanley Collymore
With no apologies whatsoever
to anyone I'll thoroughly, as
I've always done, literally
keep on admiring, and unquestionably
respecting this actually outstandingly
fellow human being - Jeremy Corbyn.
As I'm crucially, obviously convinced
do the huge majority of constituents
and quite undoubtedly too, evidently
the really decent people of Islington.
For they just like me, and everybody
who essentially bothers, to sensibly
examine the very distinctly political
as well as the...

Modernization? Will monarchical waving become extinct then, if George becomes King? Lol!
By Stanley Collymore
Another fawning and asininely
ridiculous story by so-called
but always nameless royal
experts and an obvious indication that
it's all concocted speculation without
basically a solitary shred of any real
pertinent relevance! But there are a
surfeit of racist Karens and largely
too azoospermiac Gammons plus
serfs; literally sycophantic and so
naturally proud of it subjects and
quite braindead plebeians willing
to unquestionably simply believe
what's very undeniably obviously ...

What part of piss off you racist Karen Brits and Gammons don't you pillocks understand?
By Stanley Collymore
And for those of you that quite
obviously maintain the rather
feigned notion that Meghan
doesn’t come or go to the UK principally
because she actually knows, she’s very
disliked; and therefore will accordingly
be, by your sort, simply openly booed;
ask yourselves, this obviously, clearly
put logical question, if you’ve got the
actually needed minimal brain power
required to do so! Additionally, what
intelligent person and, undoubtedly,
of whom, Meghan is quite certainly
among that...

Mental liberation is clearly a construct that's alien to every feudal, serf Briton!
By Stanley Collymore
Why should a highly educated
and a discernibly mentally
clearly unquestionably
and a distinctively, thoroughly liberated
African American like Meghan actually
return to a place like Britain that really
is so staunchly inundated with feudal
mindset serfs, subjects, and multiple
plebeians that has been, and literally
still continues to be hateful towards
her, crucially because she's actually
quite essentially different! Meghan,
essentially has nothing to prove by
being there! And...

Sisters of Shadows and Neon Lights
In the glow of neon nights at Big Daddy’s,
We stood, sisters in arms, a pact against the world.
Bound by laughter and whispers, woven tightly,
Promises etched into the heart of night,
Or so I believed, as we danced from days into the dark.
I cherished our memories, treasures locked within my heart,
Believed in our bond, until the masquerade fell apart.
How did I not see? Did I mistake their shadows,
For warriors, true and right?
Years of laughter, secrets whispered, faces close and tight,
Yet behind my back, their words twisted like daggers in...

how, now, i’m possible
No. 12 From the Children’s Collection]
“Nothing is impossible; the word itself says ‘I’m possible!’”
―Audrey Hepburn
o’er our blue mountains,
i wish i could fly,
how, now, impossible;
swing on the white clouds
that gently float by,
how, now, impossible. ...

Much love and full respect - Harry and Meghan!
By Stanley Collymore
Absolutely beautiful as always!
I'm so delighted that Meghan
and Harry are jointly getting
the reception and treatment, which they
truly deserve; as it's absolutely evident
that Nigeria, has infinitely more class
than racist and quite unquestionably
evidently, toxically verminous, white
Karens, and irrefutably distinctively
characteristically quite likemindedly
Gammons type, Britain. Obviously,
crucially, and very unquestionably
so, Harry, and Meghan are simply

Across A Crowded Room
In the dream, your eyes were like fire.
The threshold I could not fight to stay on my side of.
I was exhausted and all out of war.
I remember your laughter, as you hung upside down on snow white clouds, and when I asked you what in the world you were doing, you explained you were just trying to see things from my perspective. To which we both laughed like little children.
I knew in my heart you were in for a real study.
Sorry for the complications.
