Backache
sensitive about her body
gym doing physical jerks
I praised her endeavours
my flattery usually works
then came a stupid row
for jealousy of her friends
that fresh independence
envy ease of mind rends
my criticisms undermine
confidence to be curbed
barbed comments, digs
her self-worth disturbed
warned her shape awry
put her mind on the rack

wish i was bad at maths again
i was never good at maths
but these numbers stick to me
and i cant shake them off
usually addition takes forever
but now i can tell you in a minute
what an apple + a carrot equates
and every number is running through my head
wish i could run as fast as them
because maybe then
i would still be bad at maths

Shower Time
Water
descends.
Drip.
Drip.
Dripping...
from her silky long hair,
cascading.
Onto,
a fine, structured bridge: her collarbone.
Falling
lower
and lower,
striking and
rolling
down
a curve
of fine, pert breasts
and erect nipples.
Drip.
Drip.
Dripping.
Caressing nude skin.
A delicate, seductive, touch.
Down.
Down.
Advancing

how do you see me?
I want to know haw you see me
Do you see my stomach at first is that how you see me
or is the little bit of fat on my chin is that how you see me
Is it my thighs is that what you first see of me
my chubby face is that what is seen of me
is it every crease that i spend hours of my day staring at, is that the part you see
in my eyes thats all i can see of me
and i need to know ...

to my body
my brain was a savage
and im sorry i let so many undeserving hands ravage your fragile parts
i didnt think you were worth enough, so thats why i continued to pick and prod, my judgement was tough
im sorry i ripped you to pieces
but now im learning to love all of your creases
with every burise, cut, and scar youre beautiful thin or large
ive learned to keep you close on your worst...

Let Go
It's time to let go.
It's time to move on from the past,
from whatever it is holding you back
The random pain from memories
coming back to you as if two years was instead, two months ago
It's time to be free of all that is not meant to be
You know and I know
The universe will show you which way to go
Find true connection from within
Only then will you find clarity

My Body
My hands is where it starts
The heat of the fire
Ignited there
My fingers betrayed me
Now with a mind
Of their own
They torment me
Driving me insane
Slowly
My heart starts to race
A speed my body isn’t
Prepared for
My blood runs everywhere
With a temperature
Way too high
They torture me
Crippling my movements
Immediately

K.
Ah! I loved you!
Lost to your soul,
I bared my heart
Within your mind
I held my heart...
as if all hearts sang with mine
as if all lips knew
I felt your blood pulse
and heat my soul
as your hair scourged my body
(Ah! I loved your hair!)

Athletes
Some thoughts on body shaming of Olympic athletes - the most ridiculous nonsense I have heard!

Body
I've reached my goal weight
I think to myself
But don't ask how I did it
You don't want to know
That depression and anxiety
Is causing my body to change
That trips to the gym
Are only to get through the mundane
Don't tell me I look good
Because deep down inside
Looks don't really matter
When your life is full of pain

In Your Skin
It’s a funny place here, in your skin. Why do you keep it
So very pale? Like a sail left out in the sun
For too long and then flown at the turning of tides,
Though it glides across all of the seas
Its beauty is gone.
Such a strange place here, in your skin.
Like an ivory sheet thrown
Over sharp bones, pale tones and fingers
Pointing blame at passers by of unknown crimes
In tim...

We Miss You
Dear Jimbo,
On this day you left.
The Earth could no longer handle your grace, for this world can be an ugly place.
We couldn't handle your departure by ourselves. You showed us that we still have each other and that family is more than we were allowing it to be. Some of us will recoil and shrink. We look at them and we think about growth, our own extra terrestrial face as universal...
