Adam can go *** himself
I am not fruit ripe for the picking,
my indigestible flesh is an alter
I will worship life by
before I ever let Adam take a bite.

A scary bunch
This morning I was having a conversation
a slightly uncomfortable conversation .
I thought about a world without men
and my boyfriend seemed upset.
"Even without me?" he asked
and that was a though one to answer.
I thought about a world with no fear
no fear for my body, no fear for me.
But honestly a world without him,
that is even more scary to think about.

Mother the Mother
A series of haiku poems inspired by the wonderful nurturing, supportive mothers in my life - thank you for *planting the forest* :
I am a splinter
What I need is a forest
Mother the Mother

Tender and swollen
Every inch of my being
Mother the Mother

Sitting in silence
Musing, panicking, drowning

Whiskey in a Teacup
Whiskey in a Teacup
She walks with grace, her steps a gentle rain,
A whisper in the wind, yet a storm contained.
Her presence feels like fine whiskey's warm embrace,
The kind of beauty that disrupts the world's pace.
Her aura pulls, like a magnet of soul,
An invitation to lose all control.
Eyes like honey, with a dangerous glow,
Her warmth is ...

Peak Ale
Peak Ale
Rivers of beer flow down the mountainside
Like spring time rain fresh wet refreshing drowning
So lovely to sooth you no worries mountain beer
Very strong just what the doctor ordered
Drink your fill have enough to drown in
You will not feel death it’ll be like birth
New beginnings brought by peak beer
Brewed atop the summit by a Goddess
See people lined up to su...

wisdom teeth//on purpose
The nurse in green hands me a syringe.
It’s in one of those small plastic bags, you know the ones. They held goldfish crackers when
you were eight years old.
She hands me this syringe and says to rinse after eating
that then I should be good and food won’t get lodged in my holes and I won’t get infections or dry socket.
Watch out with certain foods, she says,
you know, things ...

the bias and the man and her reckoning
Smile With Your Teeth
He said let's take a picture
Let all of these boys know that you're mine
I said that's alright mister
But I’m not only into guys
He just laughed and pet my head
And I felt this feeling in my stomach
A fire started to burn
But then he smiled
I knew then that I could be alright
With a man by my side.
When he smiled.
I’m alright.
He said you are ugly

The Curve of Her Neck
I like the curve of her neck
And her lightly tanned shoulders
I’m not interested in the drinks I’ve bought
Well, not as much as the way she has crossed her legs.
I like the way her mouth moves
Though I’m not interested in the words
Another part of me answers
And nods my head in agreement of something
Although inside
Inside my head
I rather like the curve of her neck.

Vital
The haunting of a broken tap: drip, drop
The thirst after the sun: drink, gulp
She never said a lot, gargling girl
Sliding in and out of my body
Helping me breathe, walk, talk
That was why I swam
It was water
Brought me alive floating out to No Man’s
Diving down to skim the sand
It was water
Wanted it, always had it, but could never catch it.
It was water

Door to door
I like to be in company of women
Female voices
I'm struck how women and many FINT
(female, intersex, nonbinary, and trans) talk to each other.
How they have underlying understanding of unspoken truths
and speak of them
then act accordingly.
Mark conversational buzz with questions animated exchanges is resonant.

untitled pillows
Dawn disclosed it –
Light from an honest butter sky
Reveling in a freelance body next to me,
With our fragrant attraction
As dried up
As an Atacamian kiss.
I put in me
Sweet, sweet whiskey
Sweet scorned man.
Back then, under the accents
And sweet reprieve of street swept skies
We had clinked our glasses several times

wading deep, bloody water
its hard to measure a single beating heart
to measure its clawing judgement.
to measure the mothers beating blood while she’s
wrenching, retching and writhing.
its hard to measure disgust,
difficult to seethe while corps-less hearts beat inside you.
its easy to declare a hidden hate,
easy to let it wage a war on a world you don’t understand.
its hard to watch, fallen sisters.

sheltered soul
A sheltered soul is not soulful.
He’s hidden with worry and exhaustion.
Because the thought of pursuing is tiring,
Is damning,
Is embarrassing.
In a space that is too wide
There’s too much interpretation for the open.
So instead he closes himself softly,
Harshly.
He’s never been told.
He’s never been asked.
He’s never known that a sheltered soul is not soulful.

If You Can't Handle Me
I'm a woman
But not the palatable kind
Men see me
They want a taste but often can't stomach it
I writhe and thrash around
Until they have to spit me out
But women always see me
The whole of me
The pit of me
Every last bit of me
They don't complain that I'm too dark
To shine their torches through me
And make me bright
I never bend to their will
But I ...

I want to cry
I want to live
I want to die
I want to stay out til' 7am
I want a boy that's heaven sent
I want a house
I want a car
I want to travel

I want to laugh
I don't want to think
I want to pour myself a big fat drink
I want to dance
I want to fight

The Feminist Friend
Everyone’s having babies
Everything’s just turned up a whole notch of crazy
They must just think I’m lazy
But I too, could really love a baby
Makes me feel quite stupid
I’ve never had luck with cupid
Life doesn’t come with a blueprint
But really did for you, kid
Never been dripping in diamonds
Couldn’t find a man to afford them
And even if he offered

Belly Dancer
The desert is living in May,
Sipping joyously priceless water.
You are modest and shy in the day,
But at night you're Cairo's daughter.
Thread of camels against the sun -
Their saffron shadows melt...
You ask the same question, to stay or to run,
Every night as you put on your belt.
Your cymbals are black from the sweat,
The veil doesn't cover your face.
You're worshiping every sunset

Super Girl
I was one of your cold nights earlier. But today I am full eclipse.
I am raw sand for you. But if you come to me, you will slip into it like I am your worst mire.
But I am very calm like the sea.
And I can also drown you in my dark depths or I can give you an edge.
Even I am not a burnt skin for you, I am a fire.
And if you near to my body, you will become one of my ashes.
Today I'm ...

Effect Divine
Where have the words gone?
Emptied vocabulary I wonder!
I can’t frame a single praise…
Biscuits she offered me politely
I had only peanuts to exchange.
I looked a savage in my own eyes
And she, a harbinger of change.
No thoughts about her for days together
Although she is cynosure of my eyes,
My stillness added to the inner solitude
Yet couldn’t create the effect...

Notes of Inner Reflection
ow often we contemplate the role of a woman in our life? Not much perhaps because either we are usually lost in ourselves or we are part of the male chauvinism where there is no scope for a woman to enter. Isn’t that a hypocrisy? Yes it is. We are always in splits when we attribute our viewpoint for a woman. We hold ourselves in the highest of esteem and at the same time hold a different outlook f...

The Flame Within
She has a beauty that shines from within
A light that never grows dim
Her candle goes not out by night
And the radiance inside her, ever bright
When the wind blows,
Her flame - it holds
She thrives, she sparks
She glows, she grows.

Pickled
The ancient wiles of Venus
Thankfully are still with us
Your skills are so magnetic
That svelte body energetic
Energetic women make my day
Even if there's a physical risk
A worthwhile price to pay
Is the occasional slipped disc
Vigorous and forceful are you
Sometimes taking me unawares
Yet its always a welcome relief
From my routine daily cares

MARY SOUL
Mary came from the south part of town
She had a secret about many of the guys around
Never had a true friend every one tries to tear her down
Walking downtown is all she knows
Given paper love, she has the control
What she wanted was love that was good for the soul

You have a friend
He doesn't care where you walk or stroll
He loves you for your soul
Mary had dreams

Get back to who you are
When you could barely reach the keys
But when you did the music was so sweet
Uncover who you really are
You're more than just a star
You are the sun and the universe move for you
You got to be a Princess before you become a Queen
So be that Princess you're meant to be
And just sing for everybody

Her back,
She appeared as her wings.
Her eyes,

Her jeans, shorts or any of clothes,
Not just clothes, she showed her as a pearl hidden in the river.
Her fingers,
She showed as the waves move in the sea.
Her Nails,
She showed that it was a stone peace that was part of the mountains.
Her Lips,
Well, it was a sweet poison, cha...

Ruler of fluids
Moon, silent ruler.
Everything is drawn to you.
Everything tells me
I belong to you.
This piece of a stone,
A small ball.
But gravity pulls you
And you pull me
With magnetic ribbons.
Tonight my body is yours,
Silver master
Of shadows and light.

But men didn't listen they locked her out.
"The world is flat" She heard men cry.
She'd argued till breathless, just left with a sigh.
But somebdy wrote it for it to be read.
It couldn't have come from a woman's head.
Then the men started screaming "The world is round"
The latest discovery a man had found.

Garden Greed
The rose recognizes the beauty of the sunflower, all the while self-assured in her own. She does not envy the golden beauty for her appeal to you
She knows better - she has guarded her stem from the likes of your fingers and the fingers of those before you, and the ones that will come after
She knows that while you, selfishly and ignorantly, believe the garden to be created for you...

She roared blissfully,
Steaming in on a golden sea,
But wait they pray, be what may,
Girls don't board ships and it should stay that way

She danced with glee,
Sailing in on a pale blue sea,
Stop! They spray, don't go that way!
Good girls should stay, darling what will your parents say?

We are not your fucking pets.
It is a wicked smile they wear
as they watch the wolves wilt,
as at their flesh they tear
and accesorise with their pelt.
So they squirm and writhe,
ugly in their agony:
because in order to survive,
they surrender their dignity.
They howl at the moon,
and catch their reflections,
at the mercy of women.
So they degrade its subjects,
to the level of mere objects.

Let your voice be heard
Surely you earn and win
Let ideas more cleared
For all women and men

Freely talk, no blink
Why to keep it on shelf
Open mind and heart
Nobody is remaining fool
Surely you're smart
To become happy and cool

A gift from mother nature
to bring about new life
a blooming flower to show
you're ready to be a wife

you must be on the blob

bloody mary'd to the max
and for the womanly privilage

And the body too big to call home.

I see colour of the rainbows in my petals
Dancing in the stripes of the breeze forevermore
And like a bird's morning melody you let met know that my worth is ...

Flaming Agony
FLAMING AGONY
Burning in flames,
The dailys and weeklys
With the cries of the innocents,
The tellys simulcasting the stamped extremities,
Of a soul, we call Women.
Crushed beneath the savage desires of the lousy men.
A girl, who once aimed of the skies,
How could have she known,
Jeopardy awaited on her way back home.
That she’ll be served as a bait to the lust,

Love is strong
The fight in my heart
Stuck between two
I will need surgery and security
After, I tell her a story of love and why I can’t be with her
Only one can be with me
Triplets we aren’t
My love is equal
Internal and external
As it’s not a game
I waited too long
To say who is the survivor
Heart made of steel
Mounted closed
Some kind of way

Do you hear me now?
You look at me and forget
I was strong before I was pretty
You disregard my mind in hopes that my heart is a path leading you to my body and briefly
I regret to have met you, you see my eyes before you hear my voice
For you have already forgotten the first rule; I am strong
So when I love, I love strongly
And when I hurt, I hurt badly
But when I scream, ...

Pages and pages of pink and pink
roses on dresses and slender chic drink,
All pictures pretty some might think
but none reflecting strength, and that's the thing:

Be you!!
Mom, sister, wife & daughter
Have portrayed as a role
Chased the calm charisma
Will they love you as a soul?
Appeased with offerings
Caged as a muse to woo
Chiseled stone into “goddess”
Do they see the one in you?
Butchered daring dreams
Blindfolded you with norms
Dreaded by the resurgence
Would they trigger the storm?
Praises are a vicious t...

Do you still cry for me,
Like I still weep for you,
Those tears blocking everything you see,
Trying to hide the pain when you meet somebody new,
Is your vision as blurred as mine,
Behind your beautiful eyes,
I’ve been trying to move on now, for such a long time,
But I keep questioning if I gave this love enough tries,
I was hurt,
And I was used,
And now I’m...

Cool Air
Cool air replaces where your hands should be,
Fingers locked on bare skin all over me,
The breeze keeps blowing colder and colder,
As the love between us grows older and older,
Your tongue parted my lips that way,
Your hands grasped desperately to make me stay,
Yet I still drifted endlessly away,
And I kissed someone new today
