I wait all day
for a few stolen moments

a quick exchange
of words
that transform my world
from grey
to reds and golds

for you are autumn
dispelling winter
from my mind

you are the breeze
and early morning rain
that cleanse me

and when you're gone
you are mist
surrounding me

a blanket shawl
that comforts and calms me
with a hug

you are the very laughter
of the stars
that guard me

and most of all
when I feel down
I wear the smile


...you gave me...
I am the ****** your body craves

to ease it.
I feel like the rope
In a long game of tug 'o' war
I'm tearing apart
I'm not as strong as I was
In the beginning
Two sides are pulling me
Back
And
Forth
And Neither side
Seems to be winning
Yet I'm the only one losing
I'm breaking
The more they pull at me
The further I'll stretch
But soon I will break.
My heart softly beats
beneath her gentle breast
that with each tender breath
keeps me further from my rest
for how could I sleep
knowing each night I waste
the chances given
to gaze in solitude upon her...

my peace of mind lays there with her
within those restful eyes
upon those yet still lips
and here,
here within this perfect bussom
beats my heart

forever.
An ****** haircut,
she does give,
that only a lover can;
sweetly amatory
are the cuts and nicks,
that heighten
my  sensual pleasure.


                  click of scissors -
                  the sound her lips make,
                  when we hesitantly unlock,
                  after a long, squiggly, sloshy kiss.
    

                                            *now, her scissors
                                            get busy, giving the
                                            tips of my hair
                                            sweet pain of love bites,
                                            my ***** are on fire,
                                            goosebumps sow desire,
                                            my eyes, wink and shut,
                                            if I swoon, no wonder,
                                            this sweet torment,
                                            brings me to the limits.
Revised a bit, thanks to my excellent collaborator/alter ego
He gave me folic acid
I thought I'm not pregnant
and laughed
I needed to laugh to find humour
in the situation
grave as it was
cancer medicines and chest X-rays
all routine for
Rheumatoid Arthritis free floating
in the blood
HE SAID
joints tender before
aching now
meds that may make your hair fall out
again I laugh
I'm already going bald.
tonight the cycle begins immune system down
as these react with beta blockers
leaving me wide open to decease and infection
I need a laugh
right now
I can't see the funny side
My love is my salvation, I shall not want.
She maketh me to lie down in sweet seclusion
she bathes my head with cool water
restoring my broken mind:
She layeth her hands upon me, taking from me my pain my ache
and thou I reside within the darkness of my troubled thoughts
I will fear not the dark for she is with me.
Her eyes and her smile they comfort me
Through her words am I cleansed of my daemons
she anoints my brow with kisses as my eyes runneth over.
Surely I am blessed to have such a friend as she in this my turmoiled life
and I shall stand before my Lord and attest our friendship forever.
To Lily MAE my friend and faith healer whom comforted me last night when the darkness took a hold. Thanks xox

This is dedicated to the ideal of free women everywhere






I have a voice
even though you
have tried to
silence me all
of these years



I have value
beyond your
concept of me
as property, brood
mare, slave



I have vision
beyond the confines
of your domestic
expectations, I
want to breathe



I have opinions
that are not yours,
I will not ask
for permission
to share them



I have ideas
you cannot cage,
my thoughts fly
on Favonian winds



I have freedom,
your patriarchy
shall not choke
the goddess that
lives and breathes
in all women



I have solidarity
with sisters, brothers,
together we swim
against the tides
of iniquity



I have love
To battle your hatred

I have faith
To battle your doubt

I have hope
To battle your misogyny

I have a dream
that even you
cannot change...
I have been asked to write some poetry for White Ribbon Week...this cause is so precious to my heart... I understand ...and do not forget how violence wreaks destruction..
Would that I could thaw your heart
with heat of touch
or gentle press of lips on thine
offering sweet comfort
in a kiss
could I but give you warmth
within a smile
I would
I would melt you with my words
not of cliche
and or' used metaphor
but simply
with

be still I'm here
and I can wait for you

so take your time

for now just know that I am always with you.
I thought
you were the one.
Instead, you betrayed me.
And now, I want nothing to do
with you.
