Her mother being out,
Lizbeth sat
at her mother's
dressing table
and opened
bottles of scent
and shades of lipstick.
Some smells
had a musky scent,
others too strong,
but one scent she liked
and tipping the bottle up,
dubbed some
behind her ears
and about her neck.
She gazed at herself
in the mirror;
smiled as she'd seen
actresses smile.
Pouted her lips seductively;
picked up one
of the lipsticks
and carefully
touched it
on her upper lip.
She moved
her lips together
as she'd seen
her mother do
to spread
from top to bottom.
Was it too much?
Too bright red?
Would it show?
Would her mother know?
She blew a kiss
towards the window
from her palm
for Benny,
a soft kiss;
no one would know,;
none will harm.

you are the intruder
and i am the door
you have grabbed me
grabbed my handle and clutched it
i can not escape you
i have failed my job as the barrier
because you own my key
you are not afraid to pull me open
and walk right in
explore my insides
the floors creak, walk slowly
the faucets are leaking
i cant keep you out
i dont want to
you have found beauty in my imperfections

The mind has no bounds
Before addiction
Which suffocates
And drowns
And traps
The mind
Addiction pulverises and
Processes good things so
Numbly
The bounds
Devour the ability
To reach the heart
The heart
Becomes
Alone
Because a slave must first be
Tamed

Stop fighting the ebb and flow
With all your worthless plans
The Universe, God, Allah, whoever
You want to call him
He has more in store for you than that
Your plans are a grain of salt
Even though in your backpack of burdens they are weighing the most
They can be swept away in an instant
But their weight is hard to deny
So if you take anything from this
Forget doing what feels the safest
Do what feels right
That's your intuition
Feeding you the divine wisdom that you need
To witness your fulfillment

You left because I made you feel vulnerable.
I made you feel things you've never felt before,
and you were so scared of what you were feeling
that you made me think I was broken for feeling it too.

my heart is tired of travel
departure brings sorrow
i am tired of the goodbyes
and too many hello's
used to believe
you could never see enough faces
but you begin to see faces
in the people you meet
all faces i swore
i miss or never wanted to see again

somewhere in lofi dreams girls sit in a meadow below a saturated sunset that melts everything in sight
but not them and they feel the warmth encapsulate them
as though they've slipped into a jar of honey
and they can still breathe
but if you ask me where that place is, i don't know
the smallest drops of water, they suffocate my best identity
the one that thrives in honey day dreams
and floats on evaporation's of polyamorous love
i'm sure that solid, honey drenched girl has
slept upon those clouds she pulls the cover over her face
and falls into love with two and the two lovers love her the same
her rasta smile and rainbow hair ooze and drip from her embodiment as she says "love is love, the more the better"
and she reeks of drugs and
spray tan and suddenly she
doesn't look so beautiful anymore

i walk through this life
eyes closed
i run my hands across the days and feel their presence
as if im blind to it
its brail of my past
and in my dream i feel a sadness
i know theres no way back to the times i felt right inside
i know theres no way back to me
the me before
the pain

blue, green, and dripping wet
fertile and thriving with life
taking more than what some say she can handle
the Earth is a woman
