My body is my temple
My body is my temple
Enshrined in the heart of me
And my hopes cannot be contained
For the stars shine on down
Enshrined in the heart of me
And my hopes cannot be contained
For the stars shine on down

tell me this?
why would you wait
on life while flowers
are burning in agony
on life while flowers
are burning in agony

Beautiful Lady
Everything I want to do, I can hear someone
Whispering, telling me I shouldn’t
One moment of pleasure and it’s all over
Beautiful lady, run for your life
Whispering, telling me I shouldn’t
One moment of pleasure and it’s all over
Beautiful lady, run for your life

Crying
you don't see my tears
somehow you know anyway
that I am crying
somehow you know anyway
that I am crying

Scrabble
my mind races
write this, write that
but all that comes out
is jumbled up words
I look at the walls
and think really hard
hoping for a line
hmm, damn my impatience
write this, write that
but all that comes out
is jumbled up words
I look at the walls
and think really hard
hoping for a line
hmm, damn my impatience

Vices
I like beer
and weed
and hallucinogens
and sex with people who like to feel and taste orgasms.

In Two Minds
A horrible dilemma
Where
Omnipresence
Is not
An acceptable compromise
Where you have to be
In two places
At once....
Twice!

When all else fails I go back to art …
Things have been a push lately
November always hits me hard
It’s then I go back to basics
A craft I call home ….

On My First Day As A Pensioner
You need
A lot of balls
To be a post op
Trans woman
Life model
Wearing your birthday suit
On your birthday
Aged sixty-six
Yay Me!
