Maybe I’m a liar.
But here is the truth.
There is no truth
That we could
possibly comprehend.

We couldn’t handle it.
So we chop it
Up into simple little
Pieces we can fathom.
Life is easier that way.
Then we try to impress those
Who haven’t a clue.

Like an unfinished puzzle
we’ve lost the
most important piece
to bringing it all together.

But it’s gotta be
here somewhere
Waiting to be found in order
To complete itself.

Like this poem waiting
To be found for someone
To read it.

I maybe a liar but I think
You’ve found it.
I try to be honest but it's a hard language to learn.

If
you’re
the
moon,
then
I’m
the
wolf
who’s
howling
at
you.
we were working with line break today... :/

I have been born
over and over
many times ago.

In familiar pieces.
In different suits.

The new blood
rushing to my head.

I end up delivered
tangled in my own
fancy knots.

Waiting for someone
like you to unbind me
yet again.

I don’t know about you
But I’m fleeing this joint
When I kick the bucket

You see, I got atoms to fill
And spaces to claim

No this ain’t no one
Woman show
Staged and such

I've been practicing eternity cuz
This here is the ascent
This here is the way of the masters
And deities w/no baggage
This is The Path of Gods and Goddesses
The Tao of now
*The Way of the One

Time does not exist
For you are the perfect storm
in the center of it all

The vacuum
ripping thru space to sacred
birth new skies
in the deep horizon

the never-ending
sound of you permeates
thru the wall of eternity

the sacred embodiment
of energy, breathing
on a living planet, is you.

Bleed
woman
bleed

Feed the licks of the Sun
with your immortal womb

Sieze the comfort
of the light before it dies
tried woman
waiting in the amniotic fluid

Bleed
woman
bleed

Show up in the afterbirth
before the hours
have gone fetal
deliver yourself from gender

Live the unknown gaps
free, black and forever
Womanhood It ain't always pretty, folks.

I kissed you there
firm and wet.
You swelled in
the midnight hour.
And you swore I stopped time
with long crafted licks,
whispers upon your skin.
As I watched a million
peeks rise from your flesh,
I knew I found your secret spot.
Just a tad bit of naughty for you.
