Her Hand
She had to be very careful
About who she marries
This decision was more
Than a decision based on love
Rather it was a decision
About her own destiny
She was the only benefitiary
Of her families assets
And the state had demanded
That she can only keep
What was rightfully hers
If she entitled her right
To someone else
If the man she chose to marry
Wouldn't squander
What he never worked for
She had to be very careful
About who she would marry
For his ideals would impose
Upon her life ...

About who she would marry

What's Your Story
Do you live
How it's told?
She Wore Snakeskin Boots
Eve
Laughed triumphantly
Toppling kingdoms.
One Day, Two Late
The wall
Crumbled
So did they.
Do you live

She Wore Snakeskin Boots

Laughed triumphantly
Toppling kingdoms.
One Day, Two Late

Bourbon Street Lady
Before my very eyes, Rowena strips out of her lily-white as first communion dress into her black as Wicca lipstick on the eve of Samhain, lingerie.
Ro says, “There is the law of averages. Though some deny it I’ve seen it at work in my daily life. I’ve put myself in harm’s way for those I cared about. I didn’t do this out of a sense of duty but rather the love of an army nurse who sees a wounded soldier with a ticking grenade and throws it with all her strength to save a man who was trying to commit suicide because she believes his life is worth saving even though he doesn’t. And the...

Tomboy
I wanted to scrap,
fists and blood
I'd fight my sister's battles
ride my BMX Raleigh Burner
have stone wars over street turf
learn martial arts
become proficient
in combat
feel a thud
in my heart
when I saw
classic cars
(I'd fuck the smell of petrol if I could)
Imagine my surprise
when a girl
with a boy's sexual nature
find out
boys like sex
sweetshop
this boy
in a girl's body
who...

about the crush
It’s a drug for mind and soul
An addiction can’t control,
Feel the urge to write my views
For some pressure to diffuse,
Hot blood runs up to my head
When you answer to my thread,
Your sweet Interest must confess
Is the source of all my bless,
Please excuse my impudence
Its just a mere consequence,
of a crush that’s without measure
to my one and only treasure.
An addiction can’t control,
Feel the urge to write my views
For some pressure to diffuse,
Hot blood runs up to my head
When you answer to my thread,
Your sweet Interest must confess
Is the source of all my bless,
Please excuse my impudence
Its just a mere consequence,
of a crush that’s without measure
to my one and only treasure.

The She-Wee
There's a nifty little thing
every girl should know about
That she should always bring
Whenever she goes out
It's a plastic instrument
a funnel tube with a cup
Which you can implement
to take a leak standing up
Just stick it near ya twat
then in it simply piss
Now you don't have to squat
like a dainty little miss
So if you go up the mountain
and have to go in the snow
You can pull out your crotch-fountain
and write your name like a bro
It's called the fuckin’...

Daughters of Elysium (2)
the daughters of Elysium
shimmer in the light
of waves of heat arising
from sunlight oh so bright
in a secret place caressed by winds
and bound by natural law
you are on my mind again
in forever more
as rushing waters sparkle
through the forest's hush
the daughters of Elysium
dance in nature lush
on my mind you are again
and too you're in my heart
we seem joined forever
even though apart
as the daughters of Elysium
come in and out of view
in my mind and in my heart
I think of...

Miss Universe Droolin’
All the girls are smilin’, and the winner’s full of joy
They’ve been for a walk, inviting a teenage boy
He’d be hard and hot if she was a playboy
Miss Universe droolin’, by many a teenage boy
Locked with a key, my bedroom door, to stop any killjoy
Well I got under my blanket and I began to deploy
You know the parents always like to annoy
Who knew I was gonna enjoy
Miss Universe droolin’, by many a teenage boy
All the girls are smilin’, and the winners full of joy
They’ve been for a walk, inviting a teenage boy
If I could tell...
They’ve been for a walk, inviting a teenage boy
He’d be hard and hot if she was a playboy
Miss Universe droolin’, by many a teenage boy
Locked with a key, my bedroom door, to stop any killjoy
Well I got under my blanket and I began to deploy
You know the parents always like to annoy
Who knew I was gonna enjoy
Miss Universe droolin’, by many a teenage boy
