Blow into my mind I can taste This wasted space And so you go And close the blinds Push and sway The sea in we But it becomes Shadowed over time Clouded to whats right Hindsight is telling me to fight It also said Not all you do is right Dump it all on me Can we relate Does this take space Inside my he/art It turns to wine But who knows I do this I do this all the time But who knows I do this all the time In hell I look into your eyes Take a peek When you speak About the woes The counter to your life I need no strife On the counter Let me counter with a knife

Turns to Wine
I'll go first, Growing up, there was a huge emphasis on marriage in my community. Everything I watched was about love,  lust and relationships, this was all I consumed. Later on in life,  I began to crave affection and attention from many if not all the males in my life. This lead me into a spiral of thinking that every male I had an interaction with was going to be my husband. We listen and we don't judge...

We listen; we don't judge.
The creases and curves that guard the gate of heaven. Revered be the bless'd grounds!

Standout /ˈstandaʊt/
Bathed in trauma, poured on you, Blindly making excuses, I didn't have a clue, Unintended harm was not my aim, I swear, from my heart, that's the truth I claim. Just give me a chance to prove I can change, Don't turn away, let's break this estrange, I've learned my lessons, I'm ready to grow, I can transform, this I truly know. Lost in the past, flipping photo albums' pages, Seeking smiles, wondering through the ages, But now I see the present with fresh eyes, Fixing what's wrong, no more disguise. A shared prison, unaware we both dwelled, Failed to communicate, the stories we withheld, I tried to speak of demons deep within, Unaware they held me tight, drowning in their sin. I plead for a chance, believe I can mend, Break free from the covers, where the pain won't extend, Yesterday's weight won't hold us down, Together we'll rise, wearing courage as our crown. Glimpsing photos, memories of distant travels, Questioning why joy seemed to unravel, But it's not about them, or what they comprehend, Finding my worth, letting my true self ascend. Losing my muse, an ache deep within, Placing you on a pedestal, where love had once been, Our best memories like a festival's delight, But I clung too tightly, clouding our sight. Hurting you, hurting myself, a tangled mess, I thought I suffered more, but it was just a guess, Overloaded with clichés, patched on our dark days, Unaware I was the setup, before the closing phrase. Keep donning your cape socks, a symbol of strength, In the end, you shaped me, helping me find my true length

Maybe to let go, you have to be left alone

remembering the day after a date in the grasslands where our necks ached on earthy blankets and legs mottled by sweet kisses delivered from flies. my god the jealousy that they had known intimacy of the softness in the calves i took to sleep that afternoon we met filled the short but beautiful sunset with melancholy. maybe here you found i held codependency quite closely. so you took me to one of those superstores that sell beds.                                    "i have a friend who's closing he always makes and double folds the quilt because it makes him feel like someone's mum." you half shouted over the motorway behind us- the demanding yet secondary conversation. how i wondered, did i end up here                    - the boy i liked 6 months in - laughing between his downy hair and tap touchy fingers now so proudly leading the way as his friend, tired & mischievous ushered us into the theatre of infinite fractal bedspreads.                                                  "hurry up so i can close to give you your privacy i'm going for a smoke." spoken like any true east London mum- all ciggie ash and true love. i got to watch you work which was flattering to say the least. to stand beside kings and queens doubles and singles being bent dragged and persuaded to your whimsy. watching the curve of a bicep seized up in delirious rearranging                          - the muscles of the neck betray the youth of love- until a masterpiece emerging before us both was realised.                       "at least now we can cuddle without the bugs...or at the least these are bed ones?" i remember unwrapping the currently occupied smokers carefully settled blankets like a first birthday gift. sliding under them, with my shoes kicked away in eagerness. your arms not yet scarred with indecision pull me closer till i forget to breathe.... **this is it. the mattresses connected sheets and sheets and sheets of feeling and this is it at once to cover and unravel against the texture of the cushions the springs the feathers locked away this is it like the words i whispered through the skin of the pillow your arm not so much pinned as smothered below the crook of my neck and this is it all there is is the smell of us in this beautiful moment that latches me to the frame in my mind against my back with the weight of the future this is it the pressing pressing pressing at the touch of our palms the touch of our lips the distances we'll learn to walk alone or together or side by side but not able to look at the path we tread perpendicular to our hearts this is it this is it this is it it it** ....then i breathe.

Clean living is what you said you're doing. Well in fact, you're just pretending. Drinking this Johnny W with your close friends. Who am I to stop you? I'm just your friend or maybe just a colleague. Passed out and tired, I'm waiting for your reply. Now I know I'm just somebody... Somebody you can call nobody.

I'm thinking about you right now because I couldn't possibly think about anything else. I'm in a black and white movie and I can hear all the clashing going on behind the scenes There's loud chords that feel like they are being plucked on my heartstrings because I can see the vibrations moving all the way through me, through the insulation of my army green jacket that you gave me in the summer. And it's ridiculous to me how this little fly on the table has no idea what's going on, isn't a part of anything I'm experiencing. Black and white movie with cold orange lights.

Dear Donald, wait. strike that. You cattle rustler in a black hat, You cheated and you lied to us On just about a daily basis. You made a list of promises Of what you would do for us But you did the exact opposite Meaning not a single word of it. Half of us settled on you to be The man with enough responsibility To make our country great but yet There wasn’t much wrong with it. We can’t say that today, can we? You and your cabinet detest reality. You make claims and even worse Most of what you say is in reverse. Now you’re off kidnapping kids With no shame for what you did. You steal babies and fly them away And charge voters a thousand a day! And if that wasn’t far enough off track You charge parents to get them back. Then you insist someone else is to blame. Ugly man, why no sense of shame? You have taken our country down. You went from an political clown To an arch criminal like we’ve never seen. For decades you smiled in glossy magazines. Now you’re applauding dictators and Your cabinet is a robber baron’s band. You deserve to be put into a prison If any of our lawmakers had wisdom. So, this is your Dear Donald letter Bad motor scooter, and a worse go-getter, Telling you a ferocious goodbye. Take it as a fact, and don’t lie. If there is a bit of integrity remaining, We’ll **** on you and tell you it’s raining.

DEAR DONALD LETTER
time isn’t lost anymore, no longer do I watch the hands of the clock waste away through a film of sadness in my melting eyes. you have found me, a me that I didn’t know I still had. the strength in your eyes translates itself into the tips of your fingers and the trace of your lips in the divots of my spine. trace away the prayers of previous mistakes show me religion through your infinite pulse of grace and power. my red runs through the blues of you, as we become the veins of our own universe. voraciously consume me in ways only stars consume themselves.

crying over someone who wasn't good enough
******* There once was a man named Trump Whose hair looked like a clump A little bit plump Never caught looking like a frump He lived in a home that was no dump It didn’t even need a sump pump For some he was a pain in the **** Yet you would never call him a schlump Some thought he was a grump Others said he was no chump He did like to make people jump Causing people’s throat to have a lump Rules didn’t apply to him, no need for an ump Even when his business was in a slump Like most he did have the odd bump For everyone runs into a slump While there were those that did want him to flump So along the way he could see a thump Still others did relay you were a mump I say so long old friend, Mr. T.

i'm pretty **** sure that i'm in love with you and that's scary as hell, i'm scared i'm going to lose you, even though you say things to me, you make it seem like you won't leave me, but they always freaking leave me. okay so we've only been together officially for a week i've liked you for longer and you've liked me longer and this is so ******* scary because last time i felt like this- no last time i thought i felt like this it was a disaster. but then, everything with you is so refreshing and wonderful and perfect. different. maybe my friend is right and it's just because i've had bad taste in guys and you're just legitimately good. but there is nothing that's "just" anything about you. everything about you is so so so so so (!!!) so i'll keep this love in my chest for now, i guess. *(but one day i'll say it and it'll be wonderful. one day i'll say it one day i'll say - )*

In the beginning she was your everything, You promised and committed your love with a ring, Her beautiful smile which you truly adored,                  The body like a goddess from a place abroad, Not sure if aware of her own beauty that burned,                 But you as her man was to reassure and confirm, You said you loved her but did not treat her well,                Did you think that she'd stay in your life of hell? A blessing to me from the mistakes you've made,                  I'll treasure her heart and she'll never get played.

In The Beginning
It's funny how you think the world revolves around you You twirl that ***** finger and you, my notorious boy, are caught Clearly you haven't gotten the message You cannot toy with something that cannot be fixed But you, you always liked breaking things that do not belong to you Oh the joy it brings you To crumple up the love letters, random inside jokes and sincerity To dump it on her and pop the balloon that brings her down You ignorant, arrogant, ******* ******** ****** Do you not understand when she tells you love is a dart game and she has given all her darts to test your trust All you do is throw the darts blindfolded, knowing every part of her body, and realizing you have pinned her under your feet Why would you do this, if she has poured the truth she could not hide from her love Why would you be so blind to go forth and show her the hard way That you are not the one And even long after you're done, you go back to her, to see if her wound still burns from the salty tears that dripped from her worn out eyes I would like to thank you for showing what love was Because you were the perfect example of what it can never be

A confident poet: the hypocrite
Remember that overused line about how opposites attract As if we were comparable to the idea of magnets where North and South linked each other Meaning our bond was built like this, where we knew we were different, but still we wound up together. But later on we figured out that there was not much between us, that we’re more same than different If its true how the saying goes, there would be no reason for me to even think why we’re apart. Because opposites do attract, and we found out we’re more alike. So maybe that's the answer why. Why it felt like you were drifting, slowly drifting away from me. Because when it comes to magnets, opposites do attract each other. But then we weren’t opposites, because we saw ourselves in each other.

Attraction
We said It won't stop But it's too late I pressed the brakes Threw away Everything we gained With all at stake Out the window No more crying No more pain All that we knew All our beliefs Tossed em out the trash For my own relief Yet I'm the one Filled with sorrow at night Rereading the letter Thought I was making things right How long will it take To accept the end? How will I view us As just friends?
