She dances like the desert
Light brown sand in the wind
The color of her soft skin
No longer hiding her features
Behind old religious doctrines
A little bit of belly
Arms as strong as titans
Fingers flicker like lightening
Clicking castanets
Moving in circles

She dances for herself
Eyes cast fast in all directions
Killer queen of my destruction
If I pry I will die because tonight

She dances for herself
The goddess the demon
The angel with a silver blade
Slicing and gleaming
Veils of fire barely light
The dark ground
Concealed by black sky
The sands swirl
and she follows

The music is gone
My words are only hollow
Projections of her passion
And perfection
It has been said
that when a gypsy witch sings,
the moon's silver tongue
speaks illusion in haiku,
and its beams tickle
feathers in your dream catcher.

I am no witch,
but in the darkest moments of night
where shadows dance uninhibited
with Milky Way stars,
I find serenity in your songs,
and I blow sonnets
of silver sensuality
over the contours of your beauty,
to tickle your dreams.

Written for a poetic friend who said they were waiting to be tickled by a silver moon.... hope she likes... ;0)
What is love, someone asked me once,
Love is not when she is perfection.
Love is when she's ordinary, flawed,
And you accept her, flaws and all,
Because they make the perfection
That is her.
A moment please

To Accept

What

I am Letting Go

In a perfect world…
Women aren’t ***** at such high rates.
They don’t suffer from debilitating invalidation.
Societal pressures to deliver a baby conceived by ****, nonexistent.

In a perfect world…
Families are carefully planned with the right ingredients.
Women aren’t the only ones getting the **** end of the stick trying to
raise
care
build
a better human
than the ones already in the world.
Once that child is grown s/he has three options
become a well-adjusted cog in the clockwork of society
become a criminal that actively tears at the seams of society
or become an unexpected victim to society.

In a perfect world…
Women aren’t brutalized just to satisfy a man’s ego.
Our worth isn’t based on reproducing and rearing children.
We aren’t objectified; cut, chopped and reassembled
like slabs of meat a butcher can trim on a whim.
The v between our knees and the ******* on our chests
aren’t the most coveted features of a feminine figure.
Our brains and intelligence are the commodities, plus they last longer.
We band together in an effort to empower one another.

This isn’t a perfect world we live in though.
