from the pile of ashes
the figure arose
in a Phoenix
like pose

his wings were blackened
by the fire's torch
the feathers bore the marks
of an inferno's scorch

forever he'd wear
the burn's scarring
as a reminder
of his marring

from the pile of ashes
the figure arose
in a Phoenix
like pose

on spread wings
in the heavens
he again soars
ascending above
the flame's
raging roars

his being flying free
a mythical flight
rising to cast off
the searing's blight

from the pile of ashes
the figure arose
in a Phoenix
like pose

Good girls sew their mouths shut.
We stitch our eyes closed
and turn down the volume
of our breathing.

Dressed up in stereotypes
with our limbs twisted
for a taste of something
of substance.

No trespass of emotion;
no warmth to expose us
to cold beds and cold hands.

Good girls sew their minds shut
and do as they're told.

This poem is for any woman who feels silenced and repressed by society's numerous and overwhelming demands upon women; who has ever felt invalidated by these conflicting expectations or that her gender made her anything less than an equal.

Walk with me through the steep hills,
through the beautiful beaches,
through the unforgiving forest,
through the cold night,
until we can walk no more,
then take my hand and lets curl as one,
into the end of this mysterious journey...called LIFE

This gushing wind caressing my ears,
is whispering a tale of ancient years,
a tale of a king and his kingdom,
his pupil with happiness and freedom.
But why this tale sounds so dear,
so close to heart and oh so clear?

(Is it the king or the kingdom,
No no no it's the freedom,
Is it all? Then why it feels less,
hey, you missed the happiness,
Yes yes, so that's the thing,
Not the pupil nor the King.
happiness and freedom,
is what makes it so dear.)


So lost in thought,
I missed most of the tale.
Then I paid attention,
to the rest of part.
It had all flavours of a good story,
romance, action, drama,
and deeds of bravery.
Then as the story ended,
the wind was gone.
and left me standing there,
all alone...
Accidentally deleted it, so uploaded it again :)

Tell me your sorrows, tell me your dreams,
Together we will uncover, some places unseen,

Tell me your sorrows, tell me you dreams,
One takes you high, one takes you deep,
One let you fly, one won't let you sleep,
One gives you hope, one makes you weep,

Don't worry my dear, coz I'll be here,
Through all your cheers , and all your tears,


Tell me your sorrows, tell me your dreams,
Together we will uncover, some places unseen.
My first entry :)

Still is the world around me now,
As you lie with your arms around me still...
I drink till I hit the floor
Smoke **** till I can't think no more
I have become

Numb
