Toiling

Purchase hoodie here Quietly toiling breaking through stone Not as good as some but with everything I am Work, work, work till I blister my handsforget to eat –  burn out from neglect I get my coin – far less than hours worked but we all do that here so someone else can get rich And I do okayquietly toiling until someone elseget creditedContinueContinue reading “Toiling”

Nameless Sunset

Photo by Brett Sayles on Pexels.com I watched the quiet sunset from my tiny balcony– no dusty pinks or vibrant oranges Is that an ‘icy grey’? Does that blue have a name?Would one call that ‘not quite purple?’ I wished I’d a painter with me to name the subtle greys, fading blue and whispers of purple Instead,ContinueContinue reading “Nameless Sunset”

Overdue

Photo by Alexander Krivitskiy on Pexels.com Needing a breakthrough My love was long overdue I was hoping not really expecting then out of the blue I met you You come out of the blue awaking something new I’ve got nothing to lose be my bedroom muse It must be you Don’t be passing throughstay for a whileI need more timewanting an interviewwith no oneContinueContinue reading “Overdue”

Fake? (with audio)

I promised myself this wouldn’t happen but I’m thinking dirty thoughts about you again (oh shit) Is this a fake romance? You seduced me with your words Flashes of heat warming my whole body Why are you killing me? You seduced me with your brown eyes sneaking into my dreams and all my fantasies Why are you using me? Whilst I fall into feelings allContinueContinue reading “Fake? (with audio)”

Coloured Glass

You come to me wearing rose-coloured glasses oblivious to their weight on your nose In rapture, you praise me In awe, you list my qualities transcribing everything you see in detail I’m… flawless rosy sunshine I shy away from your praise and wonder– I know my faults too well I’m not the woman you describe Yet you grin through a pink haze confidently telling me you seeContinueContinue reading “Coloured Glass”

The Wonder

Seek it out the rays of light through the trees the sound of a string quartet filling the air Seek it out the taste of summer berries on the tongue the brushstrokes on a canvas Grains of sanda tiny galaxy of history in your hand The stars –the night’s mirror– mapping the interconnection of everything Veins in a leaf showing the lifeblood of water andContinueContinue reading “The Wonder”

Safety

Trigger Warning: sexual violence Are there any safe places out there? Women don’t feel safe walking at nightLast week, a woman was raped three times and almost drowned during the morning light Are there any safe men out there? The victims of Epstein and churches scream on the streets Their abusers, where are they?O, protected by the otherContinueContinue reading “Safety”

Allowed?

Your lips move over me my toes curl involuntaryFinally, I am in my body (out of my head) You’ve brought me back to myself Your fingertips dip and trace my curvesmy breath deepens (dizzy with desire) Don’t stop, I need it again This release you give me as I scream your name throw curses towards the ceiling (I can’t contain it) Is this allowed toContinueContinue reading “Allowed?”
