I met her on a narrow street of old Verona Her beauty’s magical, her name was Lady Mona She rolled a cigarette between her diva fingers A little cherry smoke around her gently lingers She had a long deep fire-coloured autumn hair That with the wind dance as if out of very care Her eyes are brighter, gayer then azure sapphires Two little diamonds that can start unholy fires Her ******* are full of life, the sweetest goddess milk It taste like childhood memories wrapped up in silk The skin – an undiscovered lands of sinful wild It sends you on a trip so rough yet very mild She was so picturesque, a genuine sugarbomb Like rays of sun that dazzle through a naked palm I pray thee, Jupiter, align the heaven stars And let me be the one who strikes of her guitars Wish I could walk to her and ask her dearly out I feel so brave yet nervous, want to scream and shout I want to spill it out, express my inner passion But that’s not me behaving in such crazy fashion Hell to the no! I go! I’ll spit my fire lines! I am a blonde! I curse those stupid *** designs I’ll offer things to her, I promise I’ll pushy **** I am gonna offer her my cola ***** If men be ***** models, I shall be one too I have one in my mouth – a nasty point of view If men can flirt and conquer, so can ******* I This Aphrodite’s taken, she is only mine I walk to her, approach her like the mighty Taurus Rehearse my lyrics, shuffle through my love thesaurus I smell perfume – ambrosia, nectar, lemonade… Formation, hold up, queen of… ******* Lemonade..? “What is the name of thee, do tell me, pretty dear Just like the beauty goddess you to me appear By any chance you are one of the youthful Graces? Be careful, darling, I can see your leather laces”

Once Upon A Time In Verona (Part Uno)
I met her on a narrow street of old Verona Her beauty’s magical, her name was Lady Mona She rolled a cigarette between her diva fingers A little cherry smoke around her gently lingers She had a long deep fire-coloured autumn hair That with the wind dance as if out of very care Her eyes are brighter, gayer then azure sapphires Two little diamonds that can start unholy fires Her ******* are full of life, the sweetest goddess milk It taste like childhood memories wrapped up in silk The skin – an undiscovered lands of sinful wild It sends you on a trip so rough yet very mild She was so picturesque, a genuine sugarbomb Like rays of sun that dazzle through a naked palm I pray thee, Jupiter, align the heaven stars And let me be the one who strikes of her guitars Wish I could walk to her and ask her dearly out I feel so brave yet nervous, want to scream and shout I want to spill it out, express my inner passion But that’s not me behaving in such crazy fashion Hell to the no!

Pretty girls don't cry Guess with all the makeup how could I Ladies don't drink Guess with all my pain ill just Take your man Sober Cuz i'm pretty right? Stereotypical Diva, She too quiet Guess she stuck up She's gotta be a *** why she always lucks up? Sugar baby,Slays Waist training made her that way The world is insecure Lots of pain that we endure reflecting judgment on others, to forget our demonic flaws

Stereotypical BS
You already know, young Dan pops the heater Come and slam a ***** like a WWE Diva. I go H.A.M on the track, tote the mac Any ***** talk **** Imma smack him with the strap. So racked up, I could buy the mall Come through, shop at Mr.Big and Mr.Tall.

Fatima Latima I had wished I had no gift of sight That the worst I could endure is hear you speak And not snapshot the footfall of your gradation You may not be a thief Nor **** daughter of the dayspring But definitely my heart you stole I speak of the daughter of Arabia Aesthetically, she rocks The queen of the pilgrim sands And aeonian desert stones Beyond the hijab Artistically knead with consummate craft Like the relics of Mecca Blest by the prophet’s bones The blessed I see torches Beaming with intelligence Within those mascaras Exquisitely trimmed and vibrant A lulu class botany She fixes a searching gaze As she saunters close And the stride and tread Beats a drum entrancing Soothed in her solacing spell I give in, to her lullaby She halts her perambulation Stands magniloquent and stupefy Like some pop diva magazine pose Or Victorian secret shot A tactical derangement of her gluteals As she rests her palm in its cleft I feel contractions, my dartos muscles The blew of summertime Gently beats her exceptional form Her belt submerge her thigh crevice Cleft by the sundered rift of fleshy fat Built by the dainties and delicacies Seasoned by the finest Arabian chef As her silken dress slithers and gowns Under the breeze bulging and blooming Like a rose blossom or sunflower fore As she bends down To assuage the burlesque The sun specula lilts her sensational Her smile apologetic bids me stillness I am caught staring Guzzling down her scent and Feasting on empty imaginations Of What If that accentuate the mind and Speed a hormone And I pray I sin no more Next time we meet and I see her again For I am but a writer Learning to use my pen and paper And hope you but forgive My linguistic impotence When I make my confession Employing too plain a language When I say thus; Her smile is classical Her walk magical Her beauty celestial Her stride sensational Her religion ethical Her character spotless And that leaves me breathless And forgive if I step on broken toe And try speak of the unspoken Her ****** is sacred Her being a type that dresses up In the milliards of brutes dressing down And shamelessly style it fashion I must see a priest One confession I ought to utter And even vociferate abroad For once I had fallen in love With an Arabian Beautie A ****** of Mecca.

*Chew that gum, Flick that wrist, And be that bratty little princess, That nobody wants to kiss, Oh, Prince Charming? He's hoppin' on his horse, Riding to the sunset, To get away from you, So shut your face, Chew your gum, And be a ******* diva, Wearing that ******* crown.*

Just as you Sing to the Pop-Diva's Tune The Robins will cower and chirp for more I speak for some News I brought this Noon Though I believe you have heard this before: The Pilgrim comes out of the Pool. And begs Your Seasoned Pucker as you make-decide His trunks are no-offense. In Truth his legs, Thick as moss beg your humble dear Confide I guess you were advised after your Shift He requested for your charmed Experiment Second Ghosts appeared; They in turn bereft And granted his Fantasy's sentiment. I should go now. Since more time to pursue Before he stabs me with a Knife-in-Due.

SONNET TRIBUTE: CHERYL COLE
~ dad said she'd be famous ~ *"...a doctor or diva like lena horne,"* he said he'd been doing odd day jobs and driving cabs deep into the night through  these mean city streets since ella's debut at the apollo and his smile grew wider than jackie o's reservoir in central park when this bouncing baby girl made her grand debut into his world the dimples on her cherub caramel cheeks were irresistibly pinchable and those twinkling eyes knew she'd be spoiled infinitely like a fruit-fly in a box of rotten apples ~ reality check ~ ....if you look closely you might still see one dimple; but the twinkles departed back in '75 ....and the burns on her fingertips and blistered lips ....and the bones.... jutting  like the bones of refugees and anorexics ....missing flesh ...and the tracks on her forearms and filthy jeans .....and the eyes.... shifting like the eyes of senators and thieves ....telling lies .....and the rotting corpse in a black garbage bag in fresh kills multiple choices removed from the doctor and diva of daddy's dreams hijacked by dream-killers: *smack       crack   and addiction* ~ P (Pablo) (8/1/2013)

Daddy's Dreamgirl...
Strutting, the halls in Jimmy Choo boots, Wearing a daring V-neck sweater that was envied by every girl, Dark skinny jeans that ran along legs so firm and toned. Hushed voices and awkward glances at the diva, Who strolled through the doors. Gossip and idle rumours echoed the halls as the blonde walked past. Heads turned and stared as a locker flung open! Romance novels and glossy magazines, Covered in foam, spilling on the floor. Tears rolling down cheeks, as haughty laughter filled the air. Hurt and regret! If only he was a girl, they would accept him. But now, he's nothing but a boy!

Choices
It's 6pm, anxiously waiting till its 8pm, For the voice of magic, that magnifies my heart from so many miles away, This is my confession your voice is  perfection, I love the way you alter those words of affection, Without going down memory lane, Butterflies in my belly doing the flip floppy thing like a lolly, As I feel your sweet melodious voice, Solidify & Stir-up in my heart, I wanna radically alter my thought, I'm astonished by your rapid transformation of words To be sincere, If the sea where to be a burning fire & the blustery wind were to blow it  profusely Like a stormy rain of volcano upon the land, I will never leave, I will always be on nigeria info, Where I get all the info, the purest of creativity you deliver, you diva, When I tune-in  in the evening, you Ignite my heart Your eyes are the kaleidoscope, to my ever moving colorful world of reality, Let me leave for now, I will be back soon by night, I think others are in anxiety, Trying to drop in, Their beautiful words of human creativity.

Lies I Sir Box
It was rumors An overzealous starlet Her name Cassandra Well-known to critics Beyond a casting call Conquering the boulevards This flaming Diva Her serpent attitude is her might For I Once bitten into poisonous passion Repeatly stumbling As her looks proclaim the likes of a darling Dove Losing a battle that cannot be won Her graphic representation for apparition Appeals to men with greater value Calamity is her weapon of choice For days upon her roof I've fallen To a script Only meant for fools

Origins (Ode to Hedwig and the Angry Inch)
Once upon a midnight, dreary, Top Hattie twinkles, lipstick smeary, ...spinning girls like Mischief Managed all glittery on the ball room floor, I was taken, most completely. ...Batting lashes indiscreetly. D'lilac lips that pouted sweetly, a Circus Girl that knew the score. I pinched myself, could i be dreaming? Of this Nymph, this Empress gleaming? was her Diva charm misleading? Shoe Addicted Troubadour. A Siren in Styletto thrilled me, Abracadabra wish fulfilled me, ......Medusa eyes that drew, yet stilled me- Retro-Futuristic roar. Like an Airborn Unicorn descending, advanced upon me unpretending. my heart of Dragon Scales extending for this Cupcake Thief I'd cover for. "Mirror Mirror" she whispered, smirking. Countessa Fluorescent had caught me lurking, and sent my Great Pink Planet jerking, Cosmopopping, Centrifuchia war. My Beautiful Rocket was set to swinging, No She Didn't hear the ringing in my ears the Twilight singing, to the Limest Criminal on the floor.

lime crime
the wind whispers to you in furious ways, ominous notes, like a dusty violin stenciling finality into the air. the percussion of foot-soldiers trembles the grass.   you have grown, my war-child,   from the days of ****** tea parties   to a diva guerrilla,   terrible and well-rehearsed,   your bulleted libretto close to your chest-- and as trumpets sound in the offing, the curtain draws back. AK-47, pizzicato-- gasoline breeds fire, incinerates woodwinds, the wine of the coloratura soprano melts into blood.   witch, ***** daughter of gunpowder,   bella contralto, your   deep and tremulous vibrato is a   grenade, and as death crashes to a crescendo, mortality in the tin frequency of cymbals-- the only armistice is annihilation.

shotgun opera
Dragon Boy is on stage again, Roaring and crooning. His Claws clutch, scratch and scrape A hoard of glistening emotions. His slick-sharp canines gleam Between tight stretched lips; Choppy, halting motions sway His guitar-pent hips with the rhythm. Leather wings beating and straining Against the heavy wood stage - He's gonna fly away at this rate. He wrenches open iron jaws and Suppressed fire screams from his Throat, scorching his tongue, Licking and charring the mic. He'll take his usual tribute: untried, Untested ears ringing in needy delight. Then ache to his ancient diamond bones, Slither fatly from an unruly stage, And scuffle, sated, home.

Dragon Diva
Dear Diva, heads up In case you missed this you came into this world without a crown upon your head. To a man who chose drugs above you to a mother who gave her life in order to bring you all you desired without a moment for herself. Working, schooling, tending to you years of tears, pain and joy came but you ****** her dry each day without fear or remorse. Greedily you took of me year after endless year until God saw fit to bring me another who would one day reward my sacrifice. The more I stood at your theatrical door the more you begged to be a star while the babe in my arms simply loved me and returned my grace in full. As time wore on, your demands broke me down stole my marriage and home, my life time and again no one could stand the diva you were only a mother's love stood as you dealt your horrors. Giving all I had in blood and pain you took til I was empty and still wanted more I had no more to give to you so you walked far into the distance. Cradling my babe in my arms we left the theatre and headed for the forest a glorious turn of events came true and life is beyond our dreams. There is no drama, only success and joy for my only child is a superstar the pride I hold for her is immeasurable and her grace is far greater than yours ever to be. You are the trainwreck my dear diva lost and bewildered in a world of your own making clinging to liars and those who abandoned you leaving you empty as a child in the night. But sucker you are for a free pity party you rushed to their sides when you needed a fix a bed you have made of thieves and anger so shall you sleep on your own. Cry as you may, my shoulder is barren My knock shall not come at your door I am done with the show and all its turmoil a place in peace I now abide. Pride does come before a fall and soon you may find yourself again alone perhaps in the rains of emotional war you will see what you have done. Until that fine moment, I am succeeding I am living without you quite well my baby has grown to a brilliant young lady whom everyone loves and adores. Your pictures no longer hang on my walls your presence wiped out of my home traces of you boxed neatly away your name never spoken aloud. Your place has been taken, dear diva the curtain has fallen at last exit the stage, you and your rage no longer my child... ... just a memory.

My Grandmother had a sage saying, she would regale us with, many times. With various nouns for exchanging. But, the meaning rang clear like a chime. "Pretty is as pretty does". If, as a diva, on of us girls was heard. She would hit us with that saying because, she knew actions spoke louder than words. Being of a religious nature, she deplored and showed her discontent, of those that would shout out their own praise, then would go about doing ill intent. "Christian is as Christian does". Grandma did guide us down that path. She drummed into me that saying because, she knew actions speak louder than words.

Pretty Is As Pretty Does
The ninth beatitude Blessed are the transformed and the transformers For they shall know gratitude. Hair attitudes are our beatitudes How can I not love my hair Short, cropped. ***** Long, cascading locks Braids falling adoringly Embracing cheekbones of Historical beauty. Hair diva's Divinity, defying gravity...Black hair Submitting to heat, or the nimble. Fingers of scientist, chemist who Are born to a life dedicated to Beautification of her sisters and daughters None since Madam C.J. Walker has had This talent in abundance. She put her wrist in the twist. And the "aid" in the braid… new wave Whose passion is to adore what She's put into you; She is the true “goddess of hair” You are In good hands as She dares you to move, or bat an eyelash less She bashes you, or threatens to abort the mission Leaving you to Your own device-Her advice is to become at one with her- Become putty in her hands. Her hands plant, plaiting love and patience into every wrung…Moms, And Hair Magicians, growing hands That loom, weave and condition; Grooming reluctant ducklings. Into graceful swans Grooming you for greatness. (To my best friend) https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11026273_1641865029363011_1932455644687694397_n.jpg?oh=2c95a0eb069b5f996f26494e277bd734&oe;=56C6FF8B

Dedicated to the Living legend Nefertiti aka Janifer Philpot
All day it’s been like this since Friday night Like little pinpricks short stabs of adrenaline giving me an increasing amount of jitters and pain with no beautiful passion or art to show for all the hormone fireworks I’m not depressed I’m not anxious but I’m suffering directionless excitement My journey of healing has brought me to this mountain and commanded that I climb So I climb I have no choice but to rise Reaching up with bruised and blistered fingers it’s the only way to leave my ruined body behind

diva dna
racing through the night fast as light, toward the great unknown, the little acorn nut was reminded of the old adage, "hang on to your hat" and so she did. first stop was to the factory where well crafted & educated hands stroked her smooth grain & magnificent wood, so long hidden, standing so long un-admired. at last the day came, she was loaded upon the truck, so very carefully, gentle to not mar nor bump, as she was moved. reaching the city, all the brights lights, the city trees dotted the avenues and huge grand park, spurning the excited hi's of this little country bumpkin. but she would not dally, nor carry on, with the highend bookcases, chairs, tables and others, living floor after floor above the city. those in the penthouses holding the works and books, those rubbing shoulders   and bums, with the highfalutin literary few. the poets & artists & writers that deign to look down on poor you. every night, under the light, she laid there beaming, her beauty so deep for all to see, gleaming. no diva, nor screeching ingenue, puffed up egotisical  baffoon, or shrew, could bring her down. for she knew, that without her, there could be no show. for without her, in all her floor glory, there simply would be no stage! and the little acorn nut was glad!

Hello, whale, yes, you there wallowing and swallowing crustaceans with all your calliousity and my insatiable curiosity. What a laugh that calf of yours was when it frolicked up to us diverse divers wanting to be survivors of its childlike impetuosity and eighteen foot preposterous, gargantuan monstrosity. When you rose up underneath us I thought you were going to eat us. You scared me, whale, when you flicked us with your tail - the one you splinter yachts with when you act as Davey Jones' locksmith. Of course, I retired then from my dive-in on leviathan, happy to survive your forty-five tonne introduction. Then you glided into gloom and sang your eerie song about your alien, baleen life in vast, mysterious, deep areas of oceans. Good luck along the whale's road, you mighty minstrel, you diva of the deep. This diver hopes all humans and harpoons will spare you and you can share your song again. God speed, whale.

Diva of the Deep
It was the mouths fault smacking together, flicking sticky reality onto her collarbone. Squishing perfectly whole beginnings into soggy afterthoughts It could have left them alone, yet silence is failure, and success was all it could talk about Never reach for a door closing if you can't handle the pain. Pinched knuckles inflamed with blame, stiffly folding in quiet fury Nails are diva's rallying strikes when ignored, scratching at patience always needing attention All active in the community: grabbing and giving, holding and pushing, killing and mending, building and breaking. Thing is, fingerprints only matter in crimes It's losing pressure. Deflating, collapsing. Rubbing is hopeless, exams are lazy, blinking is irritating.
