In the darkest of nights Your body pressed against the wall Hands held high above Let me slide my hands down your body To feel every sensual curve Let me kiss you as if it were the last time I were able Sliding my tongue softly against your lips Let me kiss your neck softly in this night Sliding my tongue up your neck upon your ear Down further to explore your body. Tearing off one piece of clothing as a am to uncover what my tongue seeks Watch me as I kiss down your bare body Watch me as I spread your legs and slide between. Watch me tear your underwear off Let me slide my velvet tongue Watch me explore your insides Until I find the path that brings you to your limitations Watch me climb up your body kissing every inch with wet lips Kiss me so you taste what your inner being is Open your legs and wrap them around my waist Pull me closer so our bodies may collide Pull me deeper so I may further explore your inner being My hips bucking Yours following in motion This pleasure we share In my life's fantasy.

Burned
At age 7, I was guilty when I accepted an invitation to go into the apartment of a neighbor He smelled of beer as he groped me. At age 10, I was guilty when I walked home too late because I missed the train He popped out of the bushes exposing himself. At age 12, I was guilty when my uncle forced tongue into my mouth because I could not get away. At age 14, I was guilty when my uncle forced me to sit on his lap while in my bathing suit and I ran away from home. At age 16, I was guilty when my uncle convinced everyone that I was a liar and I quit school. At age 18, I was guilty when I gave birth to my first child, because I was ignorant. At age 20, I was guilty when I saw the cardiologist in the reflection of a lamp ************  and the police laughed at my report. At age 30, I was guilty when my employer trapped me in the elevator to ***** me, because I was his subserviant. At age 36, I was guilty when I earned jujitsu honors but risked going to jail for defending myself. At age 70, I was guilty when a neighbor brought me fruit and grabbed my breast, because I was alone. At age 72, I am guilty of being a ferule woman for 50 years and for NOT be silent!

GUILTY
They call us survivors I call us leftovers They tell us we're heroes and deserve better than the hand life dealt us. They use us as examples of inspiration and make shiny metaphors out of our trauma. But. But they never look at you long enough to see that you flinch when they reach, with greedy hands, towards you because to look at you too long would mean seeing the hand wrapped around your throat. They are never around long enough to know that panic sets in while you shower and scrub at your skin until it's raw and bruised. Sticking around would mean knowing that you were touched by Poison Ivy and they've heard it's contagious! They don't watch when you're seventeen and crying into his shoulder, asking him to tell you he loves you, just so you can sleep because that would mean that maybe..you aren't that heroic afterall. If they got too close they would see that you aren't surviving so much as submitting to being alive. They sit on the edge of their seats gobbling up details about your so-called courageous story, eating up the nitty-gritty details because they know it will end in some form of you rises from the ashes. But YOU didn't know that you'd be rising from the ashes when he was lighting his match. When you tell them, you're still in therapy learning to breathe and count to ten, they have to realize bandaids don't fix gaping wounds, so they stop listening, notice the crows feet and crooked teeth,  and turn away because suddenly...you look like a victim

Night. In my mind, night symbolizes bad things Dead as night, Things go bump in the night, Missing each other like ships in the night, Thieves in the night, “A one-night stand?” Lady of the night, “Oh my God! How can you sleep at night?” It is universally known that monsters come out at night They lurk in the closets of kids everywhere But closet monsters with their reaching claws, twelve eyes, four arms, And purple fur aren’t as scary as you. In the dark corner of my room by the lamp that was my mom’s When she was growing up Did you put your hands on her, too? I look up and Coming towards me a gangrene riddled zombie Arms outstretched, a child whining for candy Hot mouth on my skin, saliva in my face Tongue like tentacles wrapping around me and I fall into that dark, unfeeling place Night is when bad things happen to good people When too-young children lose their too-young innocence, I try to explain to my mom the things you did Why I’m chasing light She says I’m lying because you’re her father She knows you, and you wouldn’t do that to her I tell her it was night-time she says, “Maybe it was too dark to see who it was.” “It wasn’t, mom!” I scream. Hot pokers in the form of hot tears sear my red cheeks When she turns away from me It was dark, that night But not so dark that I didn’t know you that night, That night when you took me and crushed me And I didn’t have a choice. But it was you. A gangrene zombie hiding in dark corners of my bedroom.

The Side Effect
"I made a product for men" My Father's words resonated in my head What did he mean by "product"? My seven year old mind tried to put it together like a puzzle I couldn't quite put the pieces together I left my father's words scattered on the floor that day Ten years later you crawled out of the darkness into my soul you took my dignity that night and my mind couldn't help but drift to the grocery store ten years back where my father told the cashier that he had made a "product" for men The seven year old me picked up the words my father spit out, not knowing what they would one day do to his little girl I put them together each piece fit perfectly I knew exactly what my father meant by "product" now "Product" that's precisely what I was to you something to be used for your satisfaction I was to be submissive to the male "dont disappoint him" I was held captive in my own body a body that was now in your possession you used me carelessly left me dry without life nothing could be planted in me and flourish anymore Somehow what you did to me was acceptable what you made me do over and over again until it was ideal for you was acceptable I am a product that is what I was made to do I was meant to be used by you over and over again

"Product"
Conceiving you felt like death. Slowly drowning in despair. The pressure rising to my head. Only in my womb for a month, Longing for a mother That wasn’t actually there I heard you crying in anguish It mocked me continuously, You felt contaminating. I sank to the bottom, Laying there, lungs filled, bursting in pain A dark presence swept over me. There are a million ways to bleed and You were gutted out whole No sea water but my own tears. She took you from me. Or Did I take you away from myself?   Regret and Heartache Paralyzed me
