Umm, the presence and scent of a man Magnetic attraction where his feet stands His natural body charismatic aroma Element of charms, seeping to awaken a woman out a sensual coma Is it his eyes, the soul behind his life’s mysteries Flirtation in his smile, tells me he has an undercover ****** history It is his nose that smells out my charms An enticing deep baritone voice, his spoken words, which turns me on Is it the erratic heartbeat he has for a woman, his passionate relent Stealing my breath, as he tenderly seals my lips in an impassioned moment of content The strength in his biceps His triceps Strong, yet such comforting arms An epitome of steel, circled around a woman in winter life’s storms In the cold of night, his body providing your heated warmth His chest, a hard pillow to tell your doubts, your uncertainties, your fears Pulling you closer onto it, his reassuring words eradicating your tears His intellectual mind to think as a man A stimulating, slam bam and thank you ma’am, or your personal grand slam His weakening love, taking your body beyond the stars Woman from Venus, my handsome Man for Mars His groin, and his family jewels from which it springs forth Erected compass of his wand now pointing North A woman’s reservation to tease, please, stroke, or allow it to choke His loud murmurs shadowing your moans, echoing in the wind **** I love the presence of men, and his undulated carnal sins From the first taste of honey dipped Butter *** me As his giving oral fixation is traveling free Freeing the elixir of juices that deems to flee His hairy legs as he stands to lift my weight In the shower, no wait, as I anticipate Hooking my twerking bait His physique in general…Oh, God thank you Without the scent of a man, we women would not know what to do Your presence to a woman is our earthly food Our je ne sais quoi for our every ****** mood Rather you are standing, lying still, or upside down The blissful 69 number conquered as we’re fooling around My Dream Weaver My distance heartbeat receiver His dripping sweat Droplets to my skin have been met The presence and scent of a man holds me throughout the night as our eyes finally rest

The Scent Of A Man

Narcissist I Money questions hidden in cultures Instead of debates, we have the vultures They will overspend whatever their budget Destroy years hard work, their odour pungent Often called users, epiphytes of highest order Those that cannot earn sufficient to quarter Or manage their own, so they use others Spending, unfettered, is their druthers Cannot accept responsibility for damage Continue to feast on their host, they ravage Hollowing out from inside, funds they suction Weakening the structure for eventual destruction And weakened, debates then start about savings Too late, funds gone, too late for the cravings Absent conversation, leaves a bad situation Long ago, train of debate left the station What we have now is death and decay All caused by silence, as the vultures flay It will not be long until they seek a new host Just when their former home needs them most So leave they will, to claw the next poor victim Removing their talons of love and devotion Moving on, leaving behind just carcasses Warm used bodies, mark of a narcissist

Narcissist I
The Insecurities are flourishing, A gorgeous garden is my mind— But the weeds keep growing in. Media like kryptonite—weakening my self esteem. —Thoughts of a young child never knowing what to believe. I lie awake in bed at night staring at the ceiling. If only the notion could suffice in finding the words— For the void I'm feeling in my life, But it isn't simple. Pure corruption of my mind, Perfect pictures, Flawless figures, The images I can't erase. Uncomfortable in my own skin— What do I do to feel safe? Do I drown myself in ink—to cover up the imperfections? Instead of talking—walk and let my skin scream the self-expression? Or do I return to the blank stare in the mirror? The words are on repeat. Who am I to think I’m beautiful—when I myself can’t see? Who am I to think I'm valuable—when there is no self-confidence there? Who am I to think I'm worthy—when I myself don't feel? The insecurities keep flourishing. A gorgeous garden was my mind, But the weeds kept growing in. Media like kryptonite—weakening my self esteem. Thoughts of a young child, --Never knowing what to believe. One night as I lie awake—I hear my subconscious scream out to me. The most attractive people do the ugliest of things, The true beauty you want is what’s imprisoned within. Why stop your happiness to return to a place— —A place where you feel so alone? Why do the tears flow? You're killing yourself— And you fail to realize Your own self-doubt is the knife! Pessimism, The negative thoughts building inside— They’re just as bad as the razorblade that kisses your skin as you sit in silence... Why are you hurting yourself? Temporary pain is only a distraction, You were blessed and shaped by the hands of God. What more could you possibly ask for? Appearance is not everything.— Stop the self-consciousness and live your life. —acknowledge that you —are your worst —enemy... I open my eyes. The cries have ceased, I return to the blank stare in the mirror. The words are on repeat. Who am I to think I’m beautiful—when I myself can’t see? Who am I to think I'm valuable—when there is no self-confidence there? Who am I to think I'm worthy—when I myself don't feel? But it’s different this time, My reflection speaks. Saying no— Who are you not to? Your imperfections are beautiful. Beautiful enough for the heart that is meant to love you, Believe in yourself. No more self doubt, No more lost soul. —No more insecurities flourishing, A gorgeous garden is my mind. No more weeds keep growing in, Media is not my kryptonite, No more weakening of my self esteem, Thoughts of a young child finally unshackled —and free.

Can you feel it Shh, allow the galaxy to pamper your body, blanket the essence of your mind, bit-by-bit Travel on a higher awareness to understand the galaxy’s gentle gift Close your eyes and allow your mind to softly drift Soft Moonlight Dust Illuminating the night skies, given warmth of its inner trust Centered in the sky, a star abates for its enlighten ****** Kindred minds to enrapture, as souls physically adjust So gentle, as a touch to the skin An inner space to conquer, there an exploring craving begins Awareness of self stirring into the constellation Bodies attuned beyond the stretch of imagination Savoring on the flavor of the alignment sweeten taste Desires igniting an inferno, the heat of its flames refusing to wait Overheated friction surrendering without debates Runaway yearning weakening in the presence of fate The ecstasy of the moonlight’s dust felt, abiding to the crack of dawn Emotions of the elixir slowly withdrawn A Cheshire moonrise Always a sacred communion given in surprise Masked feelings hidden behind the stars in our eyes Sprinkles of pixie dust as the moon becomes full Paired upon, as lace meets wool Interwoven and tenderly spun on a galactic spool Stars In Exile Twinkling for eyes to glimpse beyond the earth’s smile Canopus to Antares, oh how you make me shine Closing my eyes, coveting your point as I’m making you mine Settled and glittering as small diamonds binding in the sky A wondrous elopement to experience in the blink of an eye Soft whispers to the ones that shoot right before they fall Such a beautiful and breathlessly cadence to wish under them all The Gift Of The Sun’s Stroke Umm, shooting stars kept me awoke Relentless bodies bathing under the moon Caresses, touches, entwined souls echoing the note of its weakening tunes Sweeter and sweeter, deeper and deeper Bodies fueled, hot as a heater, bodies climbing steeper and steeper Heat consumes the interior of the temple Sweat of life, as movements come together and then disassemble Elated, sedated, dipping in a cool blue lagoon Kisses under the sun on a beautiful afternoon Temperatures rising not a moment too soon June slamming into summer’s heat A merriment of a sun stroke basking in the glorious feast The galaxy and its spicy passion A gift to the world to enjoy in any unbridled fashion

One shot. It only took one shot, then he faded away. Bones weakening, his heart stopping. Life ending. Mid-breath, he came to rest. The world around him disappeared. Another shot, from another gun, From another blood. He didn’t mean to shoot, it wasn’t his fault. He was fast act, but too fast to think, It all happened in a blink.

Eat me before I eat you Staring with **** eyes I'll be yer mantis (Who's the ***** Swallow me whole Devour me alive Loving it more Than all the whips of Caesar Regurgitated hate like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Or pigs feeding on blood and bones At the trough Boring my way out thru Yer ****** ulcer guts You shouldn't drink like a fish If you aren't at sea Weakening your resolve With surly drunk parasitic me This is how we show Our extensive toxic love sensibility

**** eyes
Hidden behind my desires. Fantasies of ecstasy frustrating me. My body tempting me sensually. Sexuality turning on me, arousing my entity. My fingers betraying me, ****** my body eagerly. Probing between my legs relentlessly, consuming my whole body; selfishly. Weakening my flesh; this tantalizing energy claiming the deepest depths of my ***** Scandalous imagery, mentally ravaging me, seducing me, teasing my lips, guiding my fingertips effortlessly, long fingers dip, disappearing; deep inside of me. My ***** tightens, the feelings heighten. Warm liquids drip, stone hard **** pulling and rubbing it. Wrist twist,palm grinding against my ***** legs clasp, my insides amass giving way, As I spray, my exhausted body collapses.

Temptress (Explicit)
If you overesteem great men, people become powerless. If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal. The Master leads by emptying people's minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve. He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know. Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place. _______ "Lao Tzu is believed to have been a Chinese philosopher (a person who seeks to answer questions about humans and their place in the universe) and the accepted author of the Tao te ching, the main text of Taoist thought. He is considered the father of Chinese Taoism (a philosophy that advocates living a simple life).

The Tao-3. If you overesteem great men, people become powerless.
Carrying my truth. I stand by my views, watching through my weakening gaze. After a raging storm, making peace with myself, I vanish into the air, my convictions fold with me. Without simple answers, wearing the new lens, I see another world: not clearer, not wiser, not safer, … just slightly shifted.

Lens
Iron which has been exposed to the rain, is likely to become rusty. Weakening, brcoming fragile along the way, changing colours. Because it couldn't resist the cruel, cold, pungent, sharp rain, which has been brought by onimous, dark, clouds. Those have come to claim the heavens, in malice, for themselves as they spread their offspring, letting it fall to the earth, fertilising it. Once standing proud, the iron faced the weather carelessly, brave, in such sense that it might have looked intimidating, impressive and of course noble to some degree. But for now it has aged, has become frail, feeble and slender. Distorting its structure until suddenly it is not capable of holding itself together, falling back down to the earth from which it came. With enough care and treatment, such a fate would be avoidable, But it is overlooked, chosen to be replaced instead of getting enough attention and so the metal decays in its oxidation, through time. Until all of it has become a soft, crumbling powder. Ruined by the simple raindrops, coming from a stormy day. ~ Umi

The Iron
A head, gnashing and screaming Forgiving my unknown hospitality Pretty is weakening I'm a fatality deemed Obnoxious is my scene The mocking and mimicking comes easy for me No secret, I envy the earth's energy Depressed, sitting in my fancy dress Shoving and tugging with desirable credibility I ravish my personality Amused? As I show my tender meat bleeding Kissing, authentic generosity A bit suggestive Confidence in deranged descriptions making others nervous Excuse me, I must leave my head is blistering, Popping, Gushing and oozing profanities Dented durability, consume me I love the fact I'm lacking Becoming one with the barbaric queen

Broken isn't cute
elephants stomp with stone-laden feet back and forth, back and forth, creating cracks in my already-battered skull, weakening the very foundations of my sanity. their trumpeting echoes through cold corridors flooding my thought capacity to the brim. a tightrope walker stretches me, thin - i feel the shifting pressure of her nimble feet treading the territories of my weathered frame, back and forth, back and forth, my skin reddens beneath the incessant crossing as the sinew within me starts to atrophy. in my chest cavity there is a ring of fire, manipulating my lungs and feeble heart to mere ash. two golden eyes seen beyond the flames, ready to leap through them - without the inconvenience of fear weighing down his agile paws, both capable and likely to tear my veins to shreds. a grisly strongman has my bones in his grip. he smiles malevolently, gloating his strength over me, squeezing the life from my cartilage - awaiting the snap. i am cognizant of the sound, but i won't flinch. next, the imminent collapse of my vertebrae - i feel them crumble to dust. he laughs. but it is in the pit of my stomach the ringleader sits - commanding me into subsidence with every crack of his whip. i want to meet his eyes but he only averts my gaze. his twisted circus nearly through, the audience begins to dissipate. i stare through the blurred smoke, desperate for his visage - when i see on one of his faded lapels, the embroidery spells out your name. -m.f.

welcome to the circus
In many different tongues, each one love's manifestations, Some even to me unknown until the very moment,expressed, I keep talking to you, my divine lover,out of my passion,intense For you brimming within. Distraught a bit, feeling left in the lurch On pouring rain and thunder storm; but you know how firm I am! I stood rooted here, lost all sense of time, queer, ever  felt you near. Then a sharp pain hit weakening my heart ,but couldn't deter me, I am a cat of nine love lives, a species so stubborn, thrives in trust. Dead of night it is , I  keep vigil, perking up ears, eyeing  skywards, How do I know from, where would my only love, to me speak?

A Gambling Game
I am afraid of speaking. I am afraid of the texture of my voice, and the effect it will have on you. I don't want to be pressed into the caricature of an angry woman; voice raised in what they call a hysterical display of emotion. Calm down. Be rational. Stop being So Dramatic. Well let me tell you something: I am an angry woman. Because all I can see is my best friend’s blonde head, coming within an inch of becoming the crushed drywall beneath his fist. All I can see is the false piety painted on his pastor’s face, asking, “well… did he hit you?” I see her eyes closed in the darkness, fingers gripped in the sheets he tore off of her body to wake her. She has to hold on to something. He says, “Show me you're enjoying it.” Calm down. Be rational. Like he wasn't gaining access INTO her BODY by FORCE. Like, of course it's her job to lay down and take it. Like it. Lick his lips for the taste of honey, because honey, he told you to. but it's poison. It enters her bloodstream, weakening her will to resist it. She looks at her phone, at a text she did not compose herself, or send, “Hey hot stuff. When you see this, let's have *** “If I pretend I didn't write this I'm just playing hard to get.” Do you get it? Yeah. I am an angry woman. Stay calm, dear sister. Be rational. Rationalize the gaslighting, because the big picture doesn't look beautiful when you hang it above the sofa; and her home was staged to look like a family so that when you look in the window, you don't see that she was a hostage. You don't see that her son was asleep in the bed when he grabbed her face between his hands and crushed it, And called it “gently redirecting her gaze.” From the window, you can't see his body blocking the exit. You can't see her baby, with his little fingers curled around her ******* begging for comfort. I will not calm down. And in case you are so damaged by devotion to comfort that you can't see it, it is right to be angry. It is righteous. I am angry, and more rational than I have ever been in my entire life- rationally, righteously begging for justice to flow down like rivers. I am an angry woman.

Don’t disappear From my sight, From my mind. I feel your pulse weakening. You’re fading away. You cross these rivers of thought with me, But do you know where I intend to go? Do you give care for things like this? Do you give grace now? I feel you fading away. Take the long walk home. Tell me all the things you know, All the things, your eyes have seen All the things your tongue tasted I want to know all that makes your heart storm All that makes you dawn like the sun on a bright day. You’re fading away. I cannot find in me to make you stay, Words won’t stick, hands won’t fight, legs won’t run, I am here. Don’t disappear from my sight, from my mind. I feel your pulse weakening I feel the life in you escaping, With it all our past and what-ifs. You’re fading away, but don’t disappear.

You are Fading Away
Never have I been the best at hiding how I feel.  There is no peaceful game.  My face reveals the truth.  Never to be doubted.  Nothing left to wonder.  Still, I reign it in.  I stifle my reality in an attempt to keep you close.  So tender-hearted beneath that thickening shell.  The shell I penetrated somehow.  Once you found me in your heart, you pushed with all your might.  Trying to get me out.  I cannot be budged. Yet, I am not free to love you.  You refuse to let me be yours in theory or practice.  You love me, but not by choice.  Fear of the possibility of pain keeps you at bay.  Yet saving yourself from pain has deemed my own inconsequential.  For running from me pulls out my heart.   **Pushing me away What's best, or just what's easy Burns holes in my soul** Not one to take the easy way out.  Suffering to love you.  There is no expectation of love requited.  There is nothing but a dream, part memory part wishful thinking.  Hot needles still poke at me, slowly breaking me down.  Weakening my very being with the sharp jabs of stinging words or careless action, or worse...absolute inaction.  I have learned to stop expecting the "Morning Sunshine" or "'Night Darlin'" that used to brighten each day.  Those thoughtless things, the tiny nothing things that let me know I was on your mind.  So far from nothing those nothings were.  Days and nights seem incomplete in their absence.  Weaning to make your days bearable makes mine unendurable, empty, and melancholy has come to underlie all things.   **Joy of love melts ice Heat smothered by a tear cloud Threadbare soul survives** Challenges faced sideways leave blind spots. Choices made by indecision.  Letting mistakes be made, watching as they choose wrong. I see the truth and know what I know.  Everything is aligned for my own misfortune.  For as a bystander, I lay no claims.  Anything I do will hasten the inevitable.  So I let the weaning drip down to nothing.  Reluctantly I watch as you disappear with my heart in hand.  I stood firm as you ran away in place.  You turned to me, you needed me, you loved me.  As the clouds dissipate and the sun creeps over the horizon, With the blue sky I turn to mist. Slowly fading to the past.  A ghost of could've been, used to be, and never was **Surrender takes time                         Reluctantly relinquished                                                I will fight no more**

Slowly fading to the past.  A ghost of could've been, used to be, and never was **Surrender takes time                         Reluctantly relinquished                                                I will fight no more**

Stuck. You're stuck. So that must mean I am too. I don't want to be stuck. My love for you grows More and more each day. But I can never stay stuck. Stuck. I was stuck. Long before I met you. I didn't want to be stuck then, And I don't now. Trapped within a Disgustingly thick, slimy stuck I worked my way deep in to find Nothing but more unruly muck. Stuck. I'm only halfway stuck. But you're all the way stuck. I'm not going back in. I'll suffocate again, Lose myself and become The demon that attaches to My weakening soul like The grotesque parasite it is. You can stay stuck all you want But you'll never find me down there While you wallow around in your Muddled conceptions of yourself. Stuck. Yeah, right. But I'll be here At the edge of the muck Waiting to help you out When you get unstuck.

Stuck
∙∙∙◦◦•◎•◦◦∙∙∙ Shut the doors and drift the words away we act like rascals toiling with our frays weakening to the knees idyllic river feels, reaching an ominous sea longing our moments as our tale would breathe She adores many may it be pretty in pink or baby in blues but I like most a lot how she paints prism hues unfailingly she tells me —that she's in love and I could tell in her gleaming smile extending up above She's the Juliet I would never trade the starlight in between my midnight eyes the snow I would trail A poem and A prose everyone's dying to sigh a binding might our hearts of ribbons tied and we sat to an oriel —above the bedroom floor touching hands grasping each other’s core a common connection the afterglows of love a better reason as we left kisses to depart

A Mutual Afterglow
I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was spectre-gray, And Winter’s dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires. The land’s sharp features seemed to be The Century’s corpse outleant, His crypt the cloudy canopy, The wind his death-lament. The ancient pulse of germ and birth Was shrunken hard and dry, And every spirit upon earth Seemed fervourless as I. At once a voice arose among The bleak twigs overhead In a full-hearted evensong Of joy illimited; An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small, In blast-beruffled plume, Had chosen thus to fling his soul Upon the growing gloom. So little cause for carolings Of such ecstatic sound Was written on terrestrial things Afar or nigh around, That I could think there trembled through His happy good-night air Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew And I was unaware.

The Darkling Thrush
Corridors, Corridors, Corridors Turning corners, fortified walls Falling dust settling on grime Windows shattering from flying hail Pain itemized for personal use The heart is bleeding From its place in the innermost cabinet The storm is not passing The ghostly folly is penetrating Weakening beams through their creaking Aimless sounds of abandon and disrepair Are whistling silently through The light of the sun and blanket of the moon That seep in through the holes of the sealing The elements of the world are caving in As I walk through the corridors Searching for a way out

Corridors
so you're dying. I don't want to believe it, even though, I see it. I see it in the agony of your smile and how much it hurts you to do so. I see it in your shortness of breath, with the weakening of your step; but the strength has not left. That blasted leukemia, why not somebody else? Someone who doesn't give a **** about their health. It's unfair. Seeing you there. Chemo after chemo one transfusion after the next, your body is giving up, the ability to heal has dissipated, although your spirit has illuminated, ****** you gave it your best! Don't ever stop breathing, please just take a breath. Don't ever stop breathing. Don't. Ever. Stop.

a world of denial
A hollow stone, Strong and sturdy. Slowly weakening; Corrupted by weather. Try to dab, Feel the cracks Whisper one word, Enjoy it crumble. Eyes open, Switch: off Grinning and laughing, Repeatedly cursed.
