Second
V C Vaughn Mar 2020
I have spent my life coming in second.
If you can’t choose me now you never will.
See I’m done feeling like I’m not enough.
I’m done feeling Like it’s my fault.
The time has come to say goodbye.
I’d rather be alone.
Than let you make me cry.

By Nature
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
By nature, I’m tactual.
Hands on touchy.
I love the feel of silk on skin.
The softness of fur.
The coolness of glass.
When I come across objects of desire
I’m compelled to touch.
To run my hands over them.
Experience their texture.
Feel their warmth.
For me touching is understanding.
If you are my object of desire,
I will touch you,
It’s my nature.

Handful
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
I’m a handful.
I don’t take directions.
But I’m seldom lost.
I can’t be controlled.
But who really wants lapdog?
I can be moody.
But I love deeply, madly and fully.
I get lost in my thoughts.
But they’re mostly about you.
I’m a handful.
But I’m also a heartful.

Crazy
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
I’m a little crazy.
See I’m a dancer, not a good one
but a dancer just the same.
I dance when I’m happy, sad, ******,
cooking, shopping, reading
I dance setting in my seat laying in my bed.
I’m the crazy redhead dancing in her car,
you get the picture.
Like I said I’m a little Crazy.

My Turn
V C Vaughn Feb 2020
I’ve loved. I’ve lived.
I’ve built family.
I’ve watched the children grow into
The awesome adults they are now.
But the time has come to do what’s best for me.
How do I tell them? What do I say?
That it’s my turn. I want so much more.
I want passion. I want to feel alive.
I want to Dance with the devil.
Then walk away.
I want to gamble and win.
How do I tell them? What do I say?
I’m not ready for a rocking chair.
I want to dance too good music.
Through back a Whiskey and drink in life.

I guess I’ll tell them, it’s my turn now,

Why
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
Why
Why do you love me?

It’s not for my sensuality.
You want me prime, proper.
So
Tell me.

Sinner or Saint
V C Vaughn May 2020
It has nothing to do with sinner,
or saint, righteous or wrong,
it’s about you,
and how I feel about you,
it’s about what I see when I look for you,
it’s about where I find you,
it’s about the calm and perspective you give me,
the love you give me Is unconditional.

I was made wild,
unable to conform to the constraints of polite society.
I have a basic need to be in nature.
a need to walk in the rain splash in puddles,
a need for the wind to rush around me,
to kiss my hair and lap at the edges of my skirt.
a need for the sun on my face, the warmth
wrapping me in unseen arms.

I feel you in all things.
There is no place I can go that you’re not.
Always waiting for me and always first,
never making me wait.
open to my love but never demanding it,
never telling me I’m to much or not enough,
knowing what I need and freely giving it to me.
I want to make you proud of the woman I am, faults, flaw’s, good bad the whole package.

I’m proud to belong to you,
if I achieve nothing else in my life but this,
I will consider my life a success.

Whisky

Magic
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
There is magic in movement
So, sway to the music in your head.
Ignore the watchers.
Show your magic
Twirl to the music in your heart.
Let the music role through you.
Show your magic.
Shimmy to the wind.
Dance in the rain.
There is magic in movement.
A release of energy kinetic power. Magic.
So, show the world your magic.

Some Women
V C Vaughn Mar 2020
I’ve come to believe,
that some women,
are not meant to be, tamed or controlled.
Some women,
Are meant to run wild and free,
to throw off the constraints of men,
and be,
who God, made them to be
totally wild
and
completely free.

Win
V C Vaughn Jan 2020

And I always win.
In the boardroom.
In the bedroom.
And when I win you win.
Like I said.
I like to win.

If you were Mine
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
If you were mine,
I’d make you sweet ginger tea.
I’d draw you a bath with mint and lavender oil.

If you were mine,
I’d fill the house with the smell of fresh baked bread.
I’d make you fresh butter and strawberry jam.

If you were mine,
I’d tuck you in and read to you until you fell asleep.
But your, not mine.

You belong to her so I watch from afar.
And wish.
You were mine.

Children of The Mountains
V C Vaughn Dec 2019
The children of the mountains looking for safety find only rejection and Loneliness.  
Seeking love and acceptance.
They find only contempt and mistrust.

The children of the mountains looking for a better life find only hardship and strife.
Seeking education and knowledge.
They find only Obstacles and roadblocks.

The children of the mountains looking for a home find only
refugee camps and tents.
Seeking a life and roots
They find only mistrust and closed doors.

The children of the mountains are looking for a home of their own.
Open your arms give them refuge give them acceptance’s.
Give them hope.

Mornings
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
I like my mornings slow and quiet.
A cuppa tea a hot shower.
A little **** shower music.
A couple sweet twirls in the shower.
A shimmy here and a hip ****** there.
I want the day to romance me a little bit.
Before it tries to ***** me.
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
I come from a tribe of amazing redheaded unicorns or raven-haired Banshee’s.
Women so strong that most men run for the doors,
when we walk in.
Not only are we strong but for the most part our looks give men pause.
Some are beautiful some are pixie like.
Others are so exotic looking it makes you wonder how did they get eyes that green and is that a ring of gold around them.
I learned that my beauty is not greater than yours but different.
And we all have beauty, sometimes we just have to look deeper than other times.
This tribe of women raised me to be strong and fearless.
To understand that to serve is not a weakness but a strength.
To have a family is a gift to be treasured.
That knowledge is power. And if knowledge is power then education is imperative.
These Women taught me all I know.
They insured that should my world fall apart I, me, the person within would survive and thrive.
They taught me to only depend on God because people will fail you.
Because when it comes down to, they are only human and humans are weak.
From them I learned to plant a garden.
That growing things working in the dirt it grounds you and keeps you humble.
That there is more to cultivating then sticking a seed in the ground.
You must care for the seed make sure that it’s not chocked out by weeds or eaten by pests.
I learned to cultivate not only food but also family and friends.
I learned that bad habits like weeds choke out the good so don’t allow bad habits to take root
They taught me to sing loud and sing proud just make sure you know the words.
That it is okay to dance but yourself in wild abandonment.
That friends are family you pick yourself so pick wisely.
These women this tribe these Unicorns and Banshee’s strong and beautiful women paved the way for my success.
To them I owe a debt that can only be repaid by passing on to the next generation of Unicorns and Banshees their wisdom and knowledge.

Wild and Windswept
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
She is truly free.
She’s wild with a gypsy soul.
Barefoot toes dug into the dirt
connecting her to the earth.
Arms spread wide
Her face turned to the sun, absorbing its power.
The wind blowing through her hair and
Twisting her skirt around her calves.
Cleansing her of all negativity energy,
freeing her, to be who she chooses to be.
She was wild, windswept, powerful.
She dances between worlds.
Never losing herself to either.
She is truly free.

A STRONG WOMAN
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
Everyone wants a strong woman.
Until she actually stands up and projects her voice.
THEN
Suddenly she is too much.
She has forgotten her place.
WHILE
You love the comic book fantasy woman.
Just not the actual living breathing woman.
YOU
Want to tame her wild and control her.
But wild can’t be caged or controlled.
WATCH
A strong independent woman will question you.
A strong woman will not blindly follow you.  
HER
Strength is her compass her true north.
She has accepted her Flaws and weaknesses.
SHE
Has conquered her demons and wears her scares.
Like a ruby necklace around her neck. She
WILL
Not only love you fiercely and deeply.
A strong woman will embrace her soft sensual side. She’ll
WALK
Beside you allowing you to lead, never mistake this for weakness.
She understands your need to lead. If you can’t handle this, walk
AWAY
She is strong, sensual, wild and bold.
Not someone to be tamed or controlled.

Minimize her and see how BOLD she is.

You
V C Vaughn Jan 2020
You
You
On my own.
I’m headstrong and passionate with a bad case of ADD.
But
When I’m with you, I’m playful focused and fun.
On my own.
I’m serious intent on saving the world and always on my soapbox.
But
When I’m with you, I’m funny, I feel like a kid in a candy store.
On my own.
I’m always looking the for that hidden insinuation in a joke.
But
When I’m with you I can laugh even, at your corny jokes.
On my Own.
I’m all work no play.
But
When I’m with you even mediocre is fun.
It’s not me.
So
It must be you.

Waiting for You
V C Vaughn Oct 2019
Waiting for You
I’m sitting here waiting for you.
I look up whenever the door opens.
I’m Setting in the back of the room so I can watch stroll up to me.  
Your smile when you catch sight of me.
Makes my heart skip a beat
The way you slid your hand into your pocket to keep from grabbing me.
Makes me chuckle.
With you I feel beautiful.
With you I embrace my sensuous side.
I let her come and play.
She’s enjoying spreading her wings.
And dancing in the sunshine.
What she lacks in grace she makes up for in exuberance.
So, dance with her.
I promise she’ll match passion for passion.
Step for step.
Touch for touch  
Kiss for kiss.
So, let’s play.
Let’s dance.
Let’s spread our wings and take flight.
What’s the worst that could happen?
We get caught up in the dance.

Warrior
V C Vaughn Feb 2020
I’ve been known to slay dragons, and reduce giants to ash.
But against my feeling for you I’m powerless.
The wild magic, that I’ve kept hidden in my heart has been set free.
She is no longer willing to be contained is a small space.
But
Desires to spread her wings and take flight.
How could I have allowed this to happen?
I’m a warrior!
I fight the good fight.
My wild magic was contained buried deep in the recesses of my heart.
Only to be looked upon as a found memory of what was,
but can never be again.
I found a place for my passion by being a voice for the lost and mistreated.
Championing the needs of the weak and demanding justice for all, convention be ******.
But
Now I stand before you stripped bare of my armor,
venerable and fearful that my wild magic will be too much
or not enough for you.
This wild magic, this raging fire between us is to powerful
for one heart to hold and not be consumed by
But,
With you I’ll share my magic.
To you I’ll give my wild.
When needed I’ll warm you with my fire.
Should you need strength or power I will give you mine.
All I have is yours for the asking.
My thirst for justice has been replaced with a desire to
love and be loved.
All but for a kiss I am yours.

Today Tomorrow Forever
V C Vaughn Jun 2020
As the moon pulls the tide to the shore,
My heart pulls me to you.
Try as I might to pull myself back into this world,
I cannot.
My feelings are too strong.
The magnetic pull you have on my heart, sends
Me reeling.
I’m only genuinely happy,
Wrapped in the safety of your loving arms.
With you I’m completely free.
You accept my Gypsy soul,
No questions asked.
Your love is unconditional,
And without limits.
More than I’m entitled to and more then I deserve.
I love you today, tomorrow, forever.

When Sex was fun
V C Vaughn Dec 2019
When we were young *** was just fun.
Anywhere, anyway, anytime you could play,
you played.
Some of us paid and some of us got away.
But if you could play you played.

When we were young and *** was exciting.
You’d play anywhere, anyway any chance you got.
If you could play you played.
I never believed there would be a day,
when I’d say don’t mess my hair.

The Men in My Tribe
V C Vaughn Dec 2019
For the Men in My Tribe

May you lead with honor and grace.
For You are the honored leader of your tribe.

May you keep those under your care secure and safe.
For You are the protector of your tribe.

May you find encouragement in small things.
For life is built on small things.

May you find true friendship.
For no man is an island.

May you unselfishly love yourself.
For only then can you unselfishly love your tribe.

May you be kind to yourself.
For only then can you show kindness to others.

May you speak the truth in Love always.
For when it is spoken in anger it is not heard.

May you embrace your wild and encourage the wild in your tribe.
For it’s the wild in us that determines the explorer, pioneer or innovator in us.

May you and your partner share the same wild.
For being wild alone is boring and you are not boring.

May you find God’s best for your life.
For when you find God’s best you find peace, love and contentment.

Somthing About You
V C Vaughn Nov 2019
There’s just something about you.
I’m not sure what it is.
But
There is just something about you.

I like my life to make sense.
And this is nonsense.
But
There is just something about you.

I’ve worked hard to move forward.
To be a person of class.
But
There’s just something about you.

I have been pulled into a riptide.
Try as I might I can’t break free.
But
There’s just something about you.
  
When I look in your eyes its magic, I see.
And I don’t believe in magic.
But
There’s just something about you.

— The End —
