She dropped her dress, and her inhibitions, at the door.

Crawled over alll euphoria for her hunting snack

I backed up from the half cat half human like lioness prowess of her downed left gown dress on the ground floor. Outside no down pour. No rain going on for months, now four.

Horrors poor and pound how she liked to drown guests and didn’t like getting gowns wet. Liked to kill while smelling h...

Syllepsis

I started walking

I kicked up the dirt and my confidence

With each step it spurt

Into the air and onto my clothes

I started running towards me again...

From Ruins To Rebirth

You destroy houses and hearts to build new ones,

Leaving families homeless and lovers loveless

in the wake of your ambition.

You pave paths through dreams and despair,

Erecting towers where whispers of the past linger in the air.


But from the rubble of yesterday’s warmth and walls,

New stories arise where old ones fall.

In the midst of steel and stones, echoes of laughter blend,

As the future we...

Talk With Your Body

I seen you across the room

You caught my eye

Black dress

Right up to ur thigh

You got everything that I like

Dancing on the tables like a pro

Come baby let me show you what I could do with a pole

Ur someone I wanna get to know


Baby can you talk with your body

Tell me all the ways that you want me to

You don’t need ur lips so put them on me

Promise baby I won’t touch you softly

The Devil

He breaks doors and hearts,

in order to get in,

for he’s a thief.


He steals diamonds and time,

and use them as his own,

for he’s a liar.


He takes shiny things and control,

through painful situations,

for he’s a manipulator.


He loses the keys and his minds,

so nothing can touch him,

for he’s a madman.


Remember who you are,

when he breaks in and shatters

the walls, pretending he’s salvation!

elantra

She jumped into the silver Elantra, and his arms, when he arrived.

Like the only warmth was in the car, in his grasp.

Like if she didn’t take the chance now, it may never come back.

When jumped into that silver Elantra, she jumped into her future....

My Childhood Friend

He drove away, and our love did the same

I wonder if he even thinks about me now

I do, I think about him even though he’s

Four hours away


I know where he lives

But at the same time I don’t

It’s been five years

And he hasn’t asked about me


I suppose I haven’t either

But I have an excuse:

If they don’t want me

Then I don’t want to intrude


But among the small amount of things I remember

I reme...

Power of Change

All I want stand on mountaintop.

The bumpy road along the way,

So enjoyed without any doubt.

Heavy rain poured down,

My body and spirit were exhausted.

The illness brought me to tears,

As I felt like never stand up again.

I tell myself to change, how?

Never give up in deep heart.

Never give up your own self.

Spirit comes with passion, takes time.

Daily life comes with routine, takes patience.

Look At Me

I can’t stand the way you look at me 

So I sit my ass right down.

I meet your avaricious gaze

With a thought provoking frown.

I’ll hold my breath and a bears paw

While I twirl around my drink

Hoping, always, that just for once,

I didn’t have to think:

About the bar, about the scene,

My dress, my shoes, my hair.

All of it an alleged invitation,

For the predators to stare.

I cannot leave the buildin...
