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”

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?”

Different (a hidden message poem)

I wish things were different I enjoy things I can’t have Life is teasing my heart and time has kept you from me Staying away has become too difficult–  there are limits to how much I can bear In the last hidden message poem I wrote used individual letters. Hint, this one uses words 🙂

No Longer Fearless (with audio)

I fear I am no longer fearless I have abandoned my reckless abandonment to embrace things that feel safe I put the brakes on exploration for fear of getting a flat tyre or getting lost on a dirt road My past mistakes have me chained to this conservative existence but… I know she’s still there somewhere–  that wild young fox eagerContinueContinue reading “No Longer Fearless (with audio)”
