Twilight's gentle glow,
Age's obscurity shines,
Wisdom's tapestry.
Bathsheba Nov 2010
Have you ever woke with the illusion?

Today you fuse the fusion?

Thus everything is sweet

But ….*

By the time

The sun goes down

Into your cage

You will retreat

Moments of lucidity

Plague the true validity

Of a mind maligned and broke

Quick …

Catch the Keeper of the Key

Omniscience for all to see

For this here life is   NOT   a joke

I

Poke

I

Choke

I sometimes Stroke

But all to no avail

The monkey chatter's constantly

In his universal veil

What to do?

Where to go?

How to fight his hold?

Maybe …

In another life

My existence will be told

I know you see my weakness

As a blanket

Safe and warm

But…

Have  YOU  been in monkey’s meadow?

When the bees begin to swarm?


H u m m i n g


B u z z i n g


H u m m i n g



Bedlam in my brain

Frantic and frenetic to board this Honey Train

Traversing peeling papers

Unconnected on the floor

I now accept what fate beholds me

I am but a prisoner of war

Please ….

Take my hand

Please …

Soothe my soul

Please …

Keep   ME   safe from  ME

And when I live my brand new life

I will be your devoted devotee

I will pick you flowers every day

Born of wild stock

We will live and love so merrily

Souls will interlock

And if you feel a little down

I will gently take your hand

Soothe your soul

Keep you safe

*In my silken meadowland

You never told me
and i shouldnt be upset because i never told you anything either

You dont know me
so at this point im tired of you pretending you do

You are keeping me safe
but you havent protected me from anything
all you are doing is protecting yourself
from what i will think
when you tell me serious things

and by serious things
i do not mean the people you are dating
or what you like on a womans body

I mean what keeps you up at night
I mean what keeps you going
and what makes you wanna stop
I mean the stuff you havent told anyone

but the thing that hurts me the most
is that instead of telling the person you have known and has 'protected' since we where half our afe
instead of telling me

you tell a girl you just met
One of my friends

and she told me
even after you told her not to

cause you are protecting me
and now you are laying on the floor hurting

but i can bet i am hurting more than you
because your pain is physical

but i am going through mental abuse

You don't understand me
and i will make sure you never do

so realize you cant protect me anymore

you cant protect me from you

I believe all dogs go to Heaven and that literary classics aren’t always that great.

I believe books have the power to change minds.

I believe thunderstorms are just the angels going bowling; their strikes become lighting.

I believe my favorite yellow dress protects me angainst insecurities and my combat boots make me more confident.

I believe potatoes afe the superior vegetable and that Wendy’s fries are almost, almost as good as Chick-Fil-A’s.

I believe in parallel universes and wish on shooting stars.

I believe dreams can come true and that the subconscious reveals to us our deepest desires and biggest fears.

I believe there is a sisterhood between all women, an intuition, a responsibility to protect and hold each other accountable.

I believe artificial cherry is the best flavor of anything, but my body craves natural produce.

I believe the beauty industry is trying to **** us.

I believe every woman should have control over her own body, not the government, not somebody else’s religion.

I believe that love always wins.

I believe that people cannot meet their full potential until their physical needs are met.

I believe that young girls are tr future, and that we must be educated to take on the world, learning to save ourselves before we save this nation.

I believe one person can make a difference.
