Beyond the massif peaks of Europa,
Above the ancient pillars of Heracles
Where rain and ocean are weaving,
Lays a fabled kingdom born of waves
And noble strands, my beaten hearts
Haunting, the lost, lush sylvan lands
Of Galicia.
                   Where Incomparable, dark
Haired women, mythic, of Amazonian
Fairness, side the valleys and moors
Of soon forgotten dreams and secretive
Wolves slide amongst warmed runnings
Of the ram and moans of ewe, where
Way bountiful seas are over spilling,
In octopus and pearly gemmed shells,
The scalloped pilgrimages unfolding,
Where incense burns with under stars
Encased, the lost Atlantean temples
Of Egyptian sands and storied Gaels,
The clad forests of wandering Titans,

Where snow white beaches end forever
Unmapped in told footsteps, castaway,
As was the magi gift of treasured yards,
Enlightenments, of old and golden isles
Pearling the coasts, sailing the sweet airs
Crossing Iberian gates, to Elysian, eternal,
Galicia.
girls are always told about princes and saviors.  fairytales and crowns. but prince charming isn't always charming. and good little christian girls are told "jesus died for you". you're saved by a blood sacrifice yet they say it's wrong to bleed out things on the alter unless you're virginal wives.

and i don't believe in saviors but i know a lot of knives. I know a lot about sacrifices. I know a lot about looking in the mirror and not recognizing the mascara streaked version of myself in my own eyes. that's a dark part of me i'm trying to unlearn, but i'm not sure muscle memory will stop me from reminiscing the singing of razor blades and the way some people gave me the exact same feeling.

head is reeling. wine. didn't he say that it was his blood? drinking 'til we see our graves, trying to forget what his lips looked like, trying to forget the taste of our sacrifices to an undeserving prince. they say the bible is open to interpretation but i have a feeling that isn't what it meant.
addressing unwritten misogyny and bad boys who like to toy with hearts
city streets won't tell me what sunsets spent without you already know. they can't whisper like our hushed conversations--pillow talk on the highway is for gypsy lovers but we're not caravans because i'm the only one drifting.  i'm lost as ever, and in being lost, i'm so free. i am directionless yet i'm yearning for the taste of living. does it taste like your skin? i wouldn't know. there's a certain loneliness that clings to each 2 a.m. pondering. i ache. i ache and i ache.

i always had fondness for lying in an ocean bed since waves were a warmer blanket than most arms i have known. drowning is a fantasy of mine but i didn't know it was just as possible to drown in a person as it was in the sea. riptides have nothing on you.

i could tell you i love you, i could. I always will in some capacity. "what-if's" cling to the roof of my mouth for much longer than peanut-butter sandwiches and lunch time. i make myself sick with remembrance. i dream about your eyes. you're far away from me, reaching for a pillow, or maybe even another set of hands. i ache.*

and i know they told me otherwise, but love is a question, love has never been the return reply.
a girl i never stopped loving

only the Spirit of Love
from outside this limited animal understanding
could command me" love enemies" and it make perfect sense.

That part of you, you so detest,
is someone else's beautiful.
What is going down ,
what is moving in that hollow?
man i put my heart near, i hear baby girl all in tear .
years of scars deepening down her broken heart.
all her head is dull with dread and man worst curse.
she knows nothing now , but jump in an endless abyss.
she feels the fume of man hell poking deadly on.
what she wants though ,keep life on .
yield good mind in any new born down
so to keep the thread on and have life on.
but man know for her the best **** she should hang on.
the poor broken heart have a fool that keeps curse on .
bathing her midnight with his ***** mouth.
showing her scars to friends in public place.
cause he believes he is strong as bull at her pace .
so he tramples her and abuses her on .
but deep in night he runs to her to loose in honeymoon.
curious and incredible situation but im telling on
he knows all the colored ,red ,yellow ,white ***** on the street.
all his money is wages down the ***** and beer room.
though he has a wife that tends her crest to him as a drum.
she always knows that she was all right.
that she cans run to law to put her in her right .
but love ! that love that the heart cans feel .
and never for the reason to have a word to fill.
though she is got a baby.
that hangs upon her anywhere she moves .
she tries anything that puts food on table .
and that man never knows the price of butter.
the woman thinks it gonna be better.
now its her least expectation.
what in nation the trouble with that man?
i just guess he is a little dim stupid man .
now he is up ,he uses a piece of metal to hit the baby girl.
blood flows like river,she is now at hospital.
the policemen come up and that man is in jail.
the policeman says you: you man doesnt know that the women are queen?
if i have a girl i will bath her and put her on my back.
i will carry and feed her on lily rose bed.
i will build a fabulous throne for her .
and make a crow out diamond and give her .
i will do everything she asks me now and then .
she will be up and will be down anyway.
please baby dont cry ,let me go on my knee for you ...
so says the policeman...
We sometimes look at someone who needs salvation
We sometimes look at someone who needs hope
We sometimes look at someone who needs a shoulder
We sometimes look at someone who needs help
We sometimes look at someone who needs a push
We sometimes look at someone who brings up the past
We sometimes look at someone who is lonely
We sometimes look at someone who cries
We sometimes look at someone who wants to die
We sometimes look at someone who needs love

Me, at one time in my life I needed everyone of them
