The poetic heart got broken.
A million shards of glass were ground.
Words of all profound.
Written with an ink pen,
of purely mice and men.
Her pen once was a feather,
stolen from a mother swan,
Tip honed to an arrow head,
Thrown from a bow,

The writers notes are passing by.
With courtesy and a bow.
They're showering ink in passing,
as the clouds are painted black,
rimmed with fading memories.
Can be no turning back.
Clouds are burst by writer's pen,
Thunderous hail of broken glass,
of fierce wind and rain.
Writing tales of past loves,
On pavements once again.

I am adding more and more poems
No matter what they are supposed to be called
No matter what numbers would define them
This is a life; not yet mine, but
I am building a home
A place where I can feel safe
A place where I can feel ugly
without being ashamed of it
Here is a life; not yet mine, but
I am still fighting
I am fighting
And I am planning to win.

Why*  would you smile at strangers on the street
Why not,  it won't cost you a dime

Why  would you eat lunch at an affable diner by yourself
Why not,  you deserve a piece of solitude sometimes

Why  would you go stargazing and binge eating with friends on a Friday night
Why not,  life is short; Enjoy while you can

Why  would you stay in and watch 500 Days of Summer over again
Why not,  you need a good cry once in a while

Why  would you rather be with the one you love than with the one who loves you
Why not,  you define your own happiness

Why  would you write sonnets and love letters but never let him read them
Why not,  okay why not?

Papa told me never to put all
my coins in one purse,
'cause if you lose it,
you'll be out of money.

****, that was some great advice,
I need to start
collecting
my pennies again.

every day since birth (and before that while still in the womb of a woman called mother)
I have bathed in living fire
eaten of its produce (adding a little water)

I
can't seem to
walk around in my own skin
without being judged.

You
Your words trap me in my own body
Your breath on my neck leaves me aching
Your voice when you wake up is croaky
Your hands on my body are bracing

The skin on your chest is like fire
Your arms round my neck is restraining
Your lips on mine give that desire
That I want when I say I've been waiting..
