I wish for the older times When a bad boy could be good Makes us their shrines, Instead of the inspiration for morning wood, Where fathers would discipline, Their boys who treat a women as an amatory, Thinking like a simpleton, Only with their anatomy, What happened to the lioness? We’re only hurt by the succubus As pain cometh As we try tears suppress Why must a good women Suffer for the horrid With the stained linen, For a dream so torrid, All we want is to be respected, Witnessed pain, Just to be rejected, Nothing is perfected, Nothing pure, Only selected, For deceitful lure, Why don’t we earn the respect? We so desperately work for? Because a man has a defect, Easier is the *****

Easier is the *****
Like a moth to a flame You reduced me to ash, Singed these already broken wings, And at my wounds your flames did lash I was captivated by your danger Senseless from your beauty I only wanted to touch and feel And so your inferno left my heart sooty Enticed by your primal heat I was seduced by the warmth of you And so I was scorched in defeat As my wants took over my needs Ready to burn down whatever crossed your path You were a raging inferno I a single moth defenseless in your wrath Drawn to you by your impassioned thermo

Moth to Flame
I was the relentless sun, While you the calming moon, I was radiated with passion unforgiving, And you fled from pain into the inopportune, My mind had begged to run from you, but my heart had demanded I stay, You radiated the dark in me, And I stopped at nothing to make your heart sway, And so we were polar opposites, That could not exist without the other, We were in complete contradictory denial, But one could not do without the other lover, So I shone my rays of desperation And reflected off your doubt, I fought for respiration And you responded to my draught, You’re moon will stir the seas I heat, My rays will warm your darkness, As we co-exist together, And work towards each other’s calmness.

Sun & Moon
Roses they did wonder contradictory to their character but love had they squandered at the hands of a gifted actor What a feat it was to become an unexpected pawn they came in red camouflage from his hidden pocket like a weapon drawn Now bathed in mistruths and dyed black by misdeeds dismissed of thier behooves as tainted blood stains their leaves The roses they wondered in search of a new elucidation for their job had they blundered condemned by pains preservation She rejects them like a plague as thou they were poisoned by his lies though their part in it vague she blames them most of all for the tears she cries Roses they wonder in search of their redemption as her screams do thunder while they fight against her apprehension.

Tainted Roses
I am the broken stereo in your car That no matter what you try And no matter what you do All you ever get is static Because the owner before you Didn’t read the instructions When it said “Please handle with care.” I am useless to you, Taking up this empty space, You wish for me to sing sweet music But it is in brokenness you only hear whispers I wish I could play to you That favorite song you drive to That will carry you on your path That desperate song you cry to But all I am is static Broken and plastic Because when I worked for someone else They handled me roughly.

Broken Stereo
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Or rather a winters noon As you left no sunshine to stay You just wore me out with gloom and doom I was the summer’s breeze And you were the winter’s chills With sun beams through clouds did you tease And I will admit your storms gave me thrills You wore me down like rotting wood Fighting against the dampening rain The winter’s blizzard was all I had withstood But then came the splintering pain I crumbled at your tempest Snapped to pieces at your will You had me at my barest And like the season you left still You marked me with your hurricane You tore at me with your hailstorm As only my dampened dust remain As my structure lay torn Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Or rather a winters noon, From all you destroyed you walked away But with the rain something new may bloom.

A Winter's Noon

Moth to a Flame
Was she but the fallen Come down to raise an Arcadian hell, Avoiding peace in graceful slalom, Encased in her callous breathing shell, Most would describe her as the Cacodemon, With the eyes of baleful sin, Defined by her nefarious inner demon, That had beguiled her sanity to its whim, She breathed of ethereal indignation, Sought upon her by trenchant thoughts, Damning her for indulging in feelings as dissipation, By those who seek defamatory purity as frauds, She was the unwanted succubus, Whose earnest beauty cost too high a price, Her darkly alluring convictions were a neuritis, Brought too bare all adamant admirers vice, She was thought to be the rakshasa, Condemned for safeholding her own heart, Not wanting persue any psychodrama, Not wishing for a reckless counterpart, So she clinged to her hellhounds, To hold at bay any contemptuous intruder’s, And so they dub her hell bound, Ignorant of her past patronizing prosecutors. She is the Cacodemon, As she shuts her gates from all, Trusting none acclaimed shaman, As she has already been judged to fall

Cacodemon
She had many faces, but she was not two-faced, but rather described as a storm, With opulent intensities, Transfigured by the elements of life’s Quiet mellifluous lilt by Which it languidly swayed all souls, She did not sway though, Rather she was uncompromising in Her emotional wave length, She could drizzle gently, Or cascade exuberantly with her susceptibility, She had no riveted temperament, She was a storm in all rhapsodic unpredictability And inexorable power of the ineffable unknown, She was the incorporeal roar of thunder and The incandescent luminescence of lightning, She had embodied the storm she had Fought desultory for a decade, They were coalesce until it had formed A chrysalis amorphous of raw beauty, She had many faces, But no she was not two-faced, She was the storm that had shaped her.

Soul of Storm
Her veins have deteriorated Narrowed and not ameliorated With every pungent pulsating pump Her quality of life she does expunge To a beating that is crepuscular And will gain no life from any stabilizer It is bleeding desultory diaphanous crimson Demoted by her own visceral volition Until one day it ceases As the walls to her capillaries deceases Until a cardiologist by a different name Imposes on her grotesque game To replace these decrepit pathways That does mellifluous passion decay Until these capillaries are replaced Through the bypass of an ethereal nature embraced To heal such a slaughtered souls defeats Until a her hearts ephemeral beats Coalesce with the tranquil thundering Of her shamans pulse that dominates over her demons plundering.
