Between Hurricanes
There's nothing romantic
about dying together.
There are those minutes
where one goes first,
leaving the other to suffer
the agony of what they loved most
is gone.
Staring at the corpse
of love removed,
and then waiting their turn.
Morbid then; I'd want you
to die before me.
Your pain would cease first
and it would bleed into me,
as I held you tightly.
I'd then die doubly weighted,
with our goodbyes
and emotions turmoiled.
And that's okay.
I'd cross my arms
over my chest ...
about dying together.

I Do Not Agree With Reality
I am alive.
Open my body, what do you find?
Periods and question marks.
A useless hide.
A meat sack of trivial answers and lies.
Locks of hair entangling my mind.
Wading through emotional turmoil tides.
Combing through the who's and why's.
Leaving all of reality behind.
I'm just a cunt. Some useless meat.
Come prize me as your specialty.
I'll give you your dose of prime protein.
And fatten you with psychological schemes.
Keep me alive in your dreams.
Keep me close, don't try to hide.
Keep me wet,...

You’re Not Alone
For anyone
Who’s ever felt alone
You’re not alone
If I could sit beside you
Right now I would
If I could sing this to you
I would
It’s Going to Be Alright

Sometimes....
..a caring voice is all that matters
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you

John and Jane Doe
We don't know each other
how our lives intertwine
a mystery to remain unsolved
and forever lost to time
He's John, and I'm Jane
Very ordinary common names
Met on an elevator ride
Standing close side by side
History has yet to be written
The present is what we're given
There could be a ring
on our fingers, and yet, tonight
this is not the question that lingers
Will he stay away
This is just for a night
A release to take the edge off
A release we both need tonight
Not...

No Church Bells
We need to talk
Why do I feel my chest tighten or, like every nerve ending is firing at once
We need to talk
Nothing ever goes well with those types of words
I know what I told you
I should stop this. I know exactly where it's going, and my heart is slowly ripping apart.
I told you everything was over with me and her, but I also told you I would try to make it work.
Why is he still talking? I got it. I'm gone
I would like if we could still be friends
He would like it if we could...

The Value of a Penny
There once was a penny, it was shiney and new
Someone threw it into a fountain and their dreams came true
I saw it lying in the street the day I first met you
And suddenly all my gray skies then turned to blue
I carried that penny in my pocket for many years
Through all our trials and all my tears
I held it in my hands when I said my prayers
Then dropped it to the floor when my dreams turned to nightmares
It rolled underneath the bed and has remained out of sight
Until I was vacuuming and found it the other night ...

Then dropped it to the floor when my dreams turned to nightmares
It rolled underneath the bed and has remained out of sight

The Storm
The Storm
The storm is my friend
You can't see me
The storm is my friend
The storm
The storm is not my friend
I can feel you
The storm will bring my end
The storm
The storm is my friend
You can't hear me
The storm is my friend
The storm
The storm never ends
I tried to reach you
I know this storm is my end
As I entered, the lighting crackle shelter me
The storm, the storm is my friend
As I climb the stairs, the thunder disguises me
The storm is my friend
Once inside...
The storm is my friend
You can't see me
The storm is my friend
The storm
The storm is not my friend
I can feel you
The storm will bring my end
The storm
The storm is my friend
You can't hear me
The storm is my friend
The storm
The storm never ends
I tried to reach you
I know this storm is my end
As I entered, the lighting crackle shelter me
The storm, the storm is my friend
As I climb the stairs, the thunder disguises me

Kiss
As she draws her lips
closer to his,
titillating...teasing,
brushing them
with her whispers of love;
heat of their breath
mingles,
procreating tension- eros.
A force magnetic
pulling the opposite poles
so close,
two pairs of ruddy petals
get glued
searching for black holes
to get disintegrated
in each other's souls.
As the tongues tango
thousands of suns burst
quenching their irresistible...
closer to his,
titillating...teasing,
brushing them
with her whispers of love;
heat of their breath
mingles,
procreating tension- eros.

so close,

I.
I wish I was a Witch
imbued through grace
beget by the knowledge of Truth
to combat ignorance
I'd proudly proclaim the title
bowing to Mother Nature
for gifting me the moniker
of so brave the women
—maiden, mother, and crone—
who suffered under religiosity
from pointy fingers
and judgmental tongues
condemning them to death
