Satan's Game
I'm sensitive,
Im humble and was raised to be kind,
My soul feels emotions and it's bleeds a mind
My makeup is to love
and hug it all away,
look to the heavens for guidance and pray, pray, pray.
I'll convince you that idols can't touch or See, and the Universe is created
It's not Just an Big bang
Amazingly made as the angels sang
Wait and don't call me your Queen
that's most Women title, Call me by my Name,
for you it's Vital
The only Energy that consumes us is in the Bible.
I'll help you understand The basics of life, I...

Moving On
last friday i attended a review with the gender clinic, and the primary points were with regards unfinished changes, which i'd sidelined, due to my heart ops, with regards voice training, and epilation, as i was focused on the actual reassignment surgery, which was successfully completed in May 2019.
she still remembered, as being wonderfully colourful. i said that i was now much more comfortable with my voice as it is, and that yes that i was still occasionally misgendered, but that was usually on the phone (even today) which makes me wince, but it is what it is, and on the phone, it is...

Sorry/Thank you
Every time I have to tell someone new that my mom is dead
or I meet up with someone who I haven’t seen since before she passed
and I have to to bring it up as if it happened just yesterday
The response I always hear is “I’m so sorry”
and I’m halted mid-sentence at the brief, jarring processing of it
In the middle of spilling the hurt, albeit only surface-level to prevent
a complete collapse of the emotional levees,
I hear “I’m so sorry”
And I am paralyzed because it’s such an understandable, yet strange reaction
But what I usually have to say after...

My Rationale For Using The Word Nigga At Times.
Words are descriptive and have no intrinsic meaning. Words can mean anything to anyone. The same word can be spelled in two different ways and mean two different things, words can sound similar also. The distinction here is in the spilling, Nigger and Nigga and the power associated with each. Firstly, words have no power. The power lies in the structure that affects our lives and the intent of people with positions of influence within the power structures. I know what the word Nigger was used to describe and I'm not that nor do I like hearing, using or being referred to in that way. Black...

Odd Observation
I happened to look at the list of poets who follow me today and I noticed something very strange. Only a small number have been signing on DUP in the past few weeks and the vast majority have not been on in over a month.
Now this is just my followers, but I wonder if this is a larger issue. I was looking because another member mentioned to me that their comments were down lately and I was wondering if people are reading less or just not getting on the internet in general.
Is anyone else noticing this trend?
I wonder if the admins have site stats to check data on site stats? ...

A new chapter…hopefully
There are many types of people in the world, but let’s say for simplicity, and my lack of omniscience, that there’s only two:
People who are self starters in their life pursuits, and those who only dream about starting.
Actually, I lied.
There’s actually a third type—those who never go past having “barely started”—turns out, that’s where I’m at.
Every few months or so I go through phases of starting new tasks, hobbies or interests, but never really following through on them. The thrill of completing the first obstacles is what gets me hooked. As I...

Fairgraves
Dear Fairgraves,
You are mine,
i'm claiming you
to the Universe.
So silent you are.
Making me stronger,
for you...
Choosing to believe
you will come
back to me.
I believe
in us,
don't you see?
Topic of "Death"
will not,
I repeat...
Will not...
send me,
packing....

Nephew
Dear Nephew
One day you will grow and understand
That Grandma and I never did you no wrong
I know you will be an incredible man and not to mention a humble and honest husband.
Am sorry that your dad chose not to be there for you and am sorry I may not always be there too, am sorry your mom and I cant get along ,we both have our reasons and I cant give you the explanation.
One day you will know and you will choose who to blame and no matter what just know aunty will love you the same.
I cant take responsibility for your dad's rejection and I cant apologize to...

Potato Soup
Many years ago you made Potato Soup
Every time i asked
You'd take the time, effort and love into making that soup
While i relaxed
Watching tv
Or playing on my phone.
I didn't realize
How much Time
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until i had to peel the potatoes
I didn't realize
How much Effort
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until the bacon was cooked
And my god
I didn't realize how much Love
It took to serve me that Potato Soup
As i did nothing to deserve it
Every time i asked
You'd take the time, effort and love into making that soup
While i relaxed
Watching tv
Or playing on my phone.
I didn't realize
How much Time
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until i had to peel the potatoes
I didn't realize
How much Effort
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until the bacon was cooked
And my god
I didn't realize how much Love
It took to serve me that Potato Soup
As i did nothing to deserve it

in your dreams.....
curioser, and curioser.
reality, and dreams
sometimes have a strange juxtaposition
to each other,
that can both be better,
or worse,
than the other reality,
be it sleeping,
or awake,
or a dream within a dream,
for goodness sake!
only Smarties have the answer,
and they at least
are always sweet! f
so forget sex,
just eat chocolate,
unless you can happily combine the two!
in your dreams!!!
