What's the best thing about
Switzerland?
It's hard to quantify
But it's flag's
A big plus!
the everlasting scorching sting of the scourge
scarlet globules cascade like autumn rain

with the whistling whip my flesh shall merge
I shall revel in the fiery delight of this pain

every luscious lash leaves its sacred imprint
adorning the skin with the symbols of zeal

yet it is not in the name of divinity’s glint
but rather a flaring fire which very few feel

like a stray mongrel with its tail set ablaze
I shall forever be led by agonizing gratification

enchanted by a hypnotic hot-blooded haze
a cycle of sensational pain and painful sensation
i was born a country girl in memphis tennesee
daddy played guitar then daddy he taught me
he loved a country music  sing a country song
when my daddy played i would sing along

daddy passed away left his legacy
left his country music in the heart of me
i travelled town to town playing every where
deep inside of me daddy he was there

how he used to strum to a country song
when i was just a kid i would sing along
i wont forget my daddy and his legacy
and his country music that he taught to me
Some victories are so quiet,
the world never hears them—
yet they echo forever in the soul.

No one saw
the nights you whispered,
“Just one more day.”
No one felt
how your chest ached
from holding in storms,
or how your hands trembled
as you tried to stitch
your own broken edges.
Yet you kept walking—
through the ache,
through the silence,
through days that felt
they would never end.
And maybe no one will ever know
the wars you fought alone,
but here’s the truth:
You survived them.
And survival—
is everything.

There's no suffering the

moronic applause in old jazz

recordings.

They bring to mind the applause

of: The Westminster Dog Show,

as stately rounds are made--

or was it to keep certain musicians

from nodding on smack?
You once said you like watching stars
now I spend sleepless nights gazing at them-
trying to find what you saw
as if the sky could bring me closer to you

And just like that
pieces of me started slipping into your orbit
I laugh the way you do
pause at songs you would love
find beauty in things once I ignored

Now all I think is about you
Your absence echoes louder than my own thoughts

I wonder -
how did a girl so cold
begin to thaw under your light?
And in this warmth,
have i melted too much of myself?
Am I still me-
or just reflections of who you'd want me to be
It scares me sometimes
how easy it is to blur my outline

But in this softer self
the one who feels, who yields, who stays -
I love me more
And if I've scattered like stardust
just to glow in your skies -
may be that too
is kind of becoming.

i’m a pathetic being
my soul has been ripped to shreds
and still i long for the claws you sank deep into me
i yearn for you to miss me
to tell me you still love me
even though you deserve nothing from me
i still pour myself unto you
in the moment it feels so good
like you never left me
and you never hurt me
like you don’t break me beyond repair
but the after comes
comes with a vengeance
hatred, hurt, betrayal
i’ve always known you were a cornered animal
but i never expected the amount of hurt you could cause
it feels like life
but all you breathe into me is death
