As the cloth slips away, She starts to pray. What you see there, Will it make you care? Or will you run, And find a gun To shoot right here, Into my heart, my dear. I feel your eyes on my sides, As they slip and slide, All over and under, As you shake me asunder. And yet I ask, “do you see?” I see burns and scars of the third degree. Dare you trace the lines, To learn the stories, which are mine? Look closely as I trace my ******* The small supple lumps unlike the rest. You see back in the day I was small and flat, As they sneered and jeered and said “what is that?” Trace the red lines down toward my inner thigh, From the lonely night when I realized, That never again would I be able to cry. That night a small part of me did die. If you dare to look to my southern most lips, They tremble and quibble from the bites and the nips Of a night spent pinned by a man’s embrace And being forced open for pleasures not graced. But if you glance at the hole in my chest, Where a beating heart should rest You’ll see that it has been taken By a father whose love has been forsaken. So tell me truthfully Tell me quite deeply Is this tortured naked body worth seeing? Or shall you run fleeing?

Damages Done
Be gone thy spirit and soul. Let me die here and now. For I have lost all hope of this life. I wish for death on the swiftest of wings, or a sign of hope on the stampeding hooves of life. Beaten down into the earth. Bones of mentality shatter, a dozen times over. Screaming anxiety let my soul die. Let my spirit dwindle. I banish thee and go in grace. For I have tried and failure prevailed. I need not be here. I don't belong. So let me be and go and rest my splintered spirit and die on this barren ground which is called life.

Beaten One Last Time
A deep valley stands before us. Surrounding trees rustle their leaves. A crisp fall wind carrying desires blows gently. The cold wind caresses my fair skin. The long plains grass moves to a rhythmic beat unheard. You lean in, with your hands wrapped snug around my waist. You whisper in my ear sweet promises and say one day this will be ours. so close you are, I feel the heat of your breath against my neck. so close you are, I sense the longing in your steps. I close my eyes. You squeeze me tight. I lean back into you, as we watch the fading light. A sun sets behind the trees, as silence fills the coming dark. And yet so much is said, by the closeness of our bodies, by the way you caress my cheek, by the way your hands are relaxed, like holding a fragile peach.

Wind Swept Desires and Promises
Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones I feel the scratch of the itchy cotton gown on the narrows of my back as it climbs up and down Displayed I lye on the medical tables hard cold steel It seers into the crevices of my bones I ponder the lone window and wonder if it's real I listen for the bleep and bloop of medical tones Nurses walk by in a mechanical grace poke and **** & tap and touch my face and then proceed to leave without a trace with no hint of knowledge of my medical case Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones I'm a big girl, I'm a big girl I begin to chant in a simple rhythm as small as a ball I begin to curl I'm abandoned inside this glassy prism The dead silence creeps inside my brain I want to scream to fill the deadly gap but the cold thick air of silence brings pain I comfort myself and say it will be ok My breathing begins to quicken my eyes dart around the room only comfort is the fear which I am stricken my sight goes bleary as darkness looms Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones Tears sting the corner of my eyes I want someone to hold my hand Oh God how I want to cry but the only thing there is the bleeding arm band The test begins with the thickness of barium It slides down my throat and clings to my esophagus It tastes like chalk and pandemonium they want me to suffocate I guess I chug and chug as the pictures are snapped x-ray upon x-ray of my stomach and my back Drink more Drink more They tell me to do Nervously I shake and say, anymore and I will puke on you Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones Even more poking and prodding ensues but of my stomach, ribs and ******* I lay rigid as a board from the pain of each touch I grow weary of this tiresome rues The tests are done and the coast is clear I am left alone to dress myself in fear Dismissed and discharged to walk away they file my chart with a robotic smile now for the wait of endless days I'm lost in my mind's land of emotional exile Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones Pins & Needles Pins & Needles I wait for the results Is it stomach cancer, an ulcer or both?? In the dark I am kept like followers in cults.

Doctors Visit
Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones I feel the scratch of the itchy cotton gown on the narrows of my back as it climbs up and down Displayed I lye on the medical tables hard cold steel It seers into the crevices of my bones I ponder the lone window and wonder if it's real I listen for the bleep and bloop of medical tones Nurses walk by in a mechanical grace poke and **** & tap and touch my face and then proceed to leave without a trace with no hint of knowledge of my medical case Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones I'm a big girl, I'm a big girl I begin to chant in a simple rhythm as small as a ball I begin to curl I'm abandoned inside this glassy prism The dead silence creeps inside my brain I want to scream to fill the deadly gap but the cold thick air of silence brings pain I comfort myself and say it will be ok My breathing begins to quicken my eyes dart around the room only comfort is the fear which I am stricken my sight goes bleary as darkness looms Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones Tears sting the corner of my eyes I want someone to hold my hand Oh God how I want to cry but the only thing there is the bleeding arm band The test begins with the thickness of barium It slides down my throat and clings to my esophagus It tastes like chalk and pandemonium they want me to suffocate I guess I chug and chug as the pictures are snapped x-ray upon x-ray of my stomach and my back Drink more Drink more They tell me to do Nervously I shake and say, anymore and I will puke on you Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones Even more poking and prodding ensues but of my stomach, ribs and ******* I lay rigid as a board from the pain of each touch I grow weary of this tiresome rues The tests are done and the coast is clear I am left alone to dress myself in fear Dismissed and discharged to walk away they file my chart with a robotic smile now for the wait of endless days I'm lost in my mind's land of emotional exile Waiting all alone waiting on this cold table waiting for the doctors and the drones Pins & Needles Pins & Needles I wait for the results Is it stomach cancer, an ulcer or both??

You see her every so often. In the flit of wind, or lick of fire. Entangled in the fine mane of a wild horse, as she ride bare back across the plains. Innocents once encompassed A porcelain face, but time, the enemy stripped it away. Pursed lips, and Dandelion eyes embedded in a meadow, where the sunrise is like late night bonfires blazing high! Warm winds stole his embers and placed them in her heart. The wind cradles its creation as it whispers softly to her. Prone to wander for the hearts desire craves the elements, to run to live to die The desires, that dangers, the very last breath. All or nothing. Take the final step. Small, smooth, round pebbles sparkle like jewels. The the pristine waters, where it rises and falls, Like her chest as she sleeps in the light, of the afternoon sun. Touched by the elements; with hair like gold wheat, skin smooth as alabaster, and the color of white tulips, eyes of the meadow, and lips curved like mountains. Strength to spare for the weary. As she journeys deeper within. Young she looks, but wise she is. She calls you in while eyes are glowing, with that mischievous smile, her laughter is the echoes of an early morning song. Fire child of the mountains, frail flower of the east. Lady of fire, never cease.

Lady of Fire
I long for our time together. The ecstasy of every moment. Together we are a cascading waterfall, of emotions, imagery, beauty and thought. I crave the words and phrases that tumble from your hard tipped lips. I kiss and nibble your ivory skin, brandishing the white with my own red ink. The soft pale caress of our utterance as your body swells and spills over with my elaborate thoughts and deepest desires. The sweet subtle change from empty to full as I drink in and confess every penetrating whisper and every delicate moan onto thee. I yearn to explore the strong rigidness of you between my long silken finger tips. I let loose and fly across this fleshy tundra, as we merge completely and deeply every introspection. A timeless moment of expression hidden secretly in every inhale and exhale. Expressions of the most profound; love and lust Reality and fiction chaos and order pain and pleasure All of this I bestow on thee waiting and timed just right for that ever exquisite moment of perfect unity. As an ending ****** pulls and rips its way through the soft tissues of our souls, the most flawless cries escape for us to behold. The flooding release of one's own soul as the body tremors and shakes with its final gasps and goes limp to lie in its final resting place. But knowing you my dearest lover, you shall never allow me the luxury of repose for I give birth to spirit, mind, body and soul. And we shall ravenously dance again and again, for that haughty cycle shall never end as I confess forever and ever my very being and lay in wait to be read and to be seen.

Please just go away, That’s all I ask? Do not stay. Take this task, And leave me be, Let me weep, Beneath the pomegranate tree. My soul is lost unto thee. Go find it, And set me free. Warn you I must, For you will find, A little girl of unconscious mind. She is lost you see. Friend from foe she can not tell. Nor can she break the spell, Alone that is. Marred by the past she is. Frightened of the future. No home to go to. No arms to rest in. Time… It will take much time to move her. Patience you will need, And that she has none of. You see She wants to be free!! Take her gently in your arms, Once she has bestowed her kiss and trust on you. Keep her away from harm, And mind that you be true. Bring her to me, And I will let her die, Within the folds of my eye. There she will stay, There she will remain, Free to wander on the plains. Free from the anguish of her chains.

My Task, My Cross to Bare
I can smell it. The scent of rain Forth coming from the clouds. I can taste it. The sweetness of honeysuckle, Drifting in the folds of the wind. I can sense it. The presence of spring, As it shakes and dances up my spine. The wriggling grass between my toes, Sends shivers through my body And soul. The desire to run naked in the sun, Urges and pushes its way forward. The need to stretch my body out, In a field of grass, As the sun dances across My cheeks and bare shoulders. I wish to ****** the sun With my innocents, And to bed the grass For the time being. I love the feeling of the earth, Messaging my feet as a lover does. A sudden rain fall caresses my skin, Intimately with every splashing moment.

Seducing Spring
Youthful vitality oozes from my pores. A child freshly turned to a maiden. My hair flicks and licks against my cheeks as it twists and twirls in the cold winter wind. The scents of love and lust drift aloof, Under the bridges of young boy’s noses. The feminine spells that are cast in the air, cause men to rush to me with roses. Youthful vitality is what they crave. My innocence that I have saved. Lips like budding blossoms of dusty roses, on which they wish to place their kisses. Eyes that are sunflowers in a wild green field, those with their greedy hands, wish to steal, but my heart will never set on them and yield.

Temptations
Do I chase or do I run? Do I hide Or do I seek? What happened to those fairy tales? Those knights of old, Those gentleman so bold. It’s only in the movies I said, It’s only in the books I’ve read. There are no fairy tale endings anymore. There are no damsels in distress, No longer okay to be weak. No longer okay to be meek. There are no knights in shinning armour. Chivalry is dead Individuality deceased. Romanticism was just a painting. An 18th century joke. To rally the oppressed and the yoke. It’s pointless to go on wishing, For that man that can read your mind. There is no sense in feigning interest And consenting to being blind. So I shall set down my feminine **** Of dragons and unicorns, And men so bold. Move on and back to reality And ingest the hypocrisy. Take my flowers My chocolates, and “I love you” ‘ s And live in harmony? Cough! Cough! Uh sorry And live in my romantic fatality.
