Formidable in flow and essence,
beauty is her power, cascading like her dark hair,
an invading army of one,
a natural seductress, at ease,
under the red banner of amour,
held out in front, she advances;
all impregnable forts willingly fall.
Her amatory machinations are
perfectly crafted.
                           She is a strategist,
when each of his senses advances,
towards her, she retreats,
when they frenetically chase her,
she stuns with her soft power,
the scent of this woman, makes him weak,
loose his bearing,
                            even when his senses are overpowered,
he poses like the victor of her passionate heart.
His every weakness she knows better than him,
but each  moment covers up to make him reassured.

She is a colonizer,
glib talk, kind acts, a heart glittering like gold.
Oh how well she reigns over his heart!
She essays divide and rule,
each of his senses has
their way of seeking gratification from her.
Once he is perfectly under her control,
she transforms in to a whirlwind of love,
lifts him like a leaf,
and send him flying in pursuit,
of the high point,
consciousness can reach at the present state-
that feels like death,  in a  miniature form.

**** doing things
just because they have always been done
a certain way
or for a long time

Who the **** are we
to say how anything should be done
as long as you are having fun
and not causing anyone else any pain

But we have gotten so used to things
being the way that they happen to be
I say **** everyone
******* normal people

**** your ******* rules
in the ***
with a chainsaw
I can't believe

People don't see things the way they really are
Others enforce because of what they lack in their own **** lives
that is why
at least I hope anyway

We are growing up so much younger these days
pushing out the intolerance
because we all know it has gone completely stale
we just somehow still need a kick in the ***

**** our vices
that we have to lean on
because what is really right
what is best for people

we somehow find the need to outlaw
******* stupid people
for not realizing that part of why
they criminalize us

is so they can take ******* everything
for themselves.

WAKE UP.

"He has one magic trick, just one and that's it; he disappears"
Is that how it is?
****
And you're gone. And he's gone.

I'm having trouble.
I tried to make an omelette today and it turned into scrambled eggs.
And I was standing there,
Giggling to myself
As it must be my brain.

****
And everything went dull,
numbed,
- And under that so much anger
And I didn't know how deep until just recently.
Or perhaps I don't even know yet.

And I met a guy.
And I think he's the one.
And I've never really thought that before.
And I think we could be together forever.
And I've never really thought that before.

And I flip from feeling crazily, happily, madly in love
And I flip to feeling crazily, urgently, madly desperate
And I flip to nothing at all.

A numb.

But I know the feelings are still there.
I know I'm still teetering on the edge
The balance.
That balance between a wonderfully happy me
And a ridiculously desperate me
What if it doesn't work out? What if I ***** it up? What if he finds someone else?  
What if what if what if what if...
And I know I just need to relax,
There's no answers gained from this repetition;
BUT what if?!

And I've been looking at myself lately,
I've been realising how wonderful I am
I've been realising how intelligent I am
How talented
How beautiful
I'm even funny!
And I think to myself
A whisper from somewhere dark and deep;
*But is it enough?

I object.
I object to accepting things the way they are.
I object to believing that I can only go so far.
I object to the one I love marrying another lady
I object to giving up even if you think I'm crazy.
I've loved him since the day we met, not so long ago
When we talked it felt like the stars had all aligned just so
I don't think he realized it for at least a month or two
He told me he had a girlfriend, but I already knew.
And now he’s getting married on this beautiful April day
Unless I can convince him not to with what I have to say
You should know that I'm a girl who believes in true love,
Faerie tales, magic, signs from God above
“Hope springs eternal in the human breast
Man never is, but always to be blest.”
I’ve read of love in books and poems, but it was nothing like this
It’s more like a fiery volcano than simple contented bliss.
And I know that all that's happened isn't just for fun.
But I'm the one you should be with when the day is done.
I wouldn’t say this if I didn’t think you felt the same
Even though you’ve tried to hide your feelings as if you’re ashamed.
But it’s clear to me that there’s something here
Maybe you’re just blind to what is crystal clear.
But when I told you how I felt, I made it clear to you
That I would never stop fighting until you say "I do"
And if I heard those words, I would know I'd tried my best
That she had won the battle, and your marriage would be blessed.
Your happiness is all I've ever wanted for you
And if you think you'll be happy, I guess it must be true
But I won't let this go without one last cry
Before I say my saddest, sweetest goodbye.
And now I speak to all of you; I want to give you hope
Before you find yourself falling down that dangerous slippery *****.
You don’t have to accept life as it is, or things the way they are
When you’re only given one chance, wouldn’t you like to go to the stars?
Your life is as amazing as you choose it to be.
With unlimited imagination, you can be completely free.
Maybe you yourself have passed up on a chance
To tell someone you love them, or just ask for a dance.
Maybe you were too shy, too timid and afraid
Maybe you'd left it up to God and prayed and prayed and prayed
But this is now, this is us, this is our own time
What better moment to fight for love than when the fates align?
Never be afraid to speak your mind aloud
Whether it’s just to one person or in front of a big crowd.
Make mistakes as often as you can, and most of all
When you're chasing your wildest dreams, don't be afraid to fall.
True love is something too perfect to pass up on
Too beautiful to miss, like the starry night before the dawn.
Never give up on the love that you seek
Never believe that you're not brave enough, or that you're too weak
Fight for what you want and make known your desires
That have burned inside your hearts like a thousand white-hot fires.
Maybe all this talk has been given in vain
And maybe one day I'll forget this refrain
But I can't move on unless I know I've tried my best
And told what was in my heart to him and all the rest.
With that in mind, I'll say these last words to my one and only love
I'll meet you outside the church where fly the morning doves.
Don't wait or say a single vow, because I cannot hold my peace
Until this fantasy of you and her finally will cease.

A sagacious & sinister grin he bares,
As he spends a sojourn with his Sins.

The police may have taken him in,
But I ask, who really wins?

He awaited as the picture played,
Perceiving the perpetual pestilence of the putrid people - He sought to be plagued.

"It is sick!" - He stated, as he fulfilled his fate.
It is sick, what he did on that very date.

Not a man, but a mouse that opened fire that day.
A worm, now squirming in a court room to have his say.

Actions speak louder than words, and we have already heard your statement,
You are a Joker that deserves to be broken, in which Death is the only treatment.

to tell you
you are terrific lately

Just because
you are all over
the map
of all creation

your prowess
is not discounted
here

forgive
conditional bones

you would have
no defensiveness

if you could put
your whole live's
goals, plans
ambitions, desires

into a single day

However there is
just this here now

one

and each of such dailies
and who can sniff each
as just another flower
upon the scent
of paradise

is the hourglass set
just the once
drifting time
unforeseen

or can forgiveness be
found through the occasional
dispensation somehow garnered

re-topping the hopper
