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

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

UNCOVER
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
Uncover who you really are
Show that true beauty that no one sees
No...

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.

Speak up little girl
"The earth is round" She tried to shout.
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.
The wor...

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...

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.

Out Loud
Let your voice be heard
Surely you earn and win
Let ideas more cleared
For all women and men
Tell me what do you think
How did you see yourself?
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

the girl with the curves wishes she was thinner
the girl with narrow hips wishes her breasts were bigger

the girl with clear skin wishes her freckles would disappear
the girl with intelligence wishes she was pretty
the girl with beauty wishes classes were easy
the girl with straight hair wishes it was curly

Period
A gift from mother nature
to bring about new life
a blooming flower to show
you're ready to be a wife
red river or crimson tide
that time of the month
if your temper rises
you must be on the blob
those pesky women's problems
bloody mary'd to the max
and for the womanly privilage
they added luxury tax

I am Both (with audio by me)
I am not the fat girl
I am not the skinny girl.
I am both.
I am both the bingeing in the night
And the starving from pure fright.
I am both
In the mirror I am both.
I am the always too thin pile of bones
And the body too big to call home.
I am both.
In the shops I am both.
I am the girl who is too curvy to wear cute clothes

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,

'Small dick syndrome'
So I feel like I've uncovered my own rendition of a super hero power
When I meet a man I can estimate his dick size within an hour
So this may seem a little seedy, a bit sleezy, but when a man overcompensates with money why does he think it will impress me
One guy on a night out handed me his credit card and told me to drink as much as I dare at his expense
I politely declined ...

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, ...

International Women's Day
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:
Women's Day isn't all flowers and hearts
it's message shouldn't be limited before it starts,
we are more than our constituent parts
so today try to tear stereotypes apart -
Support our differences, our quirks,
you don't have...

Exploited by the Building Site Bell Ends
For all the bell ends on building sites
and the charmers
who freely shout abuse from their van
at women going about their day
I often wonder how you would feel
if someone did that to your Mam.
How would you react if you witnessed
your own flesh and blood being routinely exploited,
objectified or sexually assaulted?
Would you still cheer and egg the culprits on
as they leered and jeer...

Tears
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

REAL MAN
We're the throw away
wives
The use em and lose em

Like old cars
you trade us in
for new models
After putting
one hell of alot of miles
on us

One man's trash
is another's treasure

So here I sit
on the Goodwill's shelf
like the Velveteen Rabbit

Body Parts
Loop the loop
Pull that knot
Attach my button eyes,
See me
Wink.
Smile-
Nod, my Jack in a box head
Bound to a neck of copper springs
Let me sing
And
Wave-
My floating foam hands,
Kick my Pinocchio legs
And
Dance –Dance- Dance
On
Tiny crippled plastic feet.
I am alive
Reborn!
Do you think I am beautiful?

A day to achieve
I wake up to blue skies and a bright sun
My alarm rings, now my day has begun
I turn on the hot shower, the bathroom begins to steam
When I'm done I dry and put on my best dress
I have an important meeting today so I need to impress
After the usual traffic jam I finally arrive at work
I'm greeted with smiles from familiar faces
I come face to face with my boss as my heartbeat races
Good m...

Tattoo
‘It’s my skin,’ she said,
But he still shook his head.
Did she not understand
The risk entailed? Once the
Fine pale surface was broken,
There was no going back.
The permanency of a foreign body
Worming its way beneath
Her flesh - this he could not
Permit. For her own good.
Though he paid no heed
To the multicoloured rings
And patterns that each faded

Dear Sigyn
Dear Sigyn,
you fool.
We both know he doesn’t love you.
Catching the venom meant for his eye,
silent even though he should cry
out in fury at your meddling.
Dear Sigyn,
you fool.
Even the serpent laughs at you.
I’d think your body was through
even if your heart was still into
an idiot’s errand that no one would rue.
Dear Sigyn,
you fool.

why you are #beachready
because you deserve to feel
the sun on your skin
hot sand between your toes
to slough off the workday drudge
and free your smile
because it will be fun
because ice-cream melts fast
and tastes good
because it’s your laugh that matters
because no-one ever died thinking
the best thing they did
was spend three years on a diet

My Life
That ongoing story that I call my life
Is nothing but a total tangled mess.
It’s a disaster area; a no-go zone
And sometimes I feel like staying at home
It’s a random story with a spot of romance
Mixed up with elements of chance
And one way or another it’ll be soon resolved
And for my sins I hope to be absolved
The ongoing story that I call my life
is hard...

I Am a Woman
I am a woman up to the tips of my hair.
I am a woman by spirit and nature.
As no one I have got an innate flair.
As no one I need a daily rapture.
I can make an elephant out of a fly,
My ‘yes’ a man can never deny.
I do not burn in the fire,
In the water I do not sink,
I know exactly who is a liar,
And know what a man think.
Of cau...

Her Prisoner of War.
She keeps her albums in a cardboard box and her singles are left on the floor.
Maybe she’s a girl that doesn’t care but then, she always brushes her hair.
Her bedroom is full of things in carrier bags and empty cardboard boxes.
There’s a bank statement on the side from nineteen eighty five under a TV guide.
In the hallway there’s junk mail and unopened letters and th...

Hymn both Ancient and Modern
Written on June 1st 2011 as an assignment based on the Calendar, set by John Cassidy for Bank Street Writers, Bolton.
O God of Sun, on Sunnandaeg,
I worship thee with spray -on bronze,
Because thy workload is quite big,
There’ll be a lot of wet week-ends.
God of the Moon, on Monandaeg,
I offer thee my hangover,
Last night I was a lunatic,
Oh I am deep...

I AM A WOMAN
I walk in the street,
don’t feel my feet.
I don’t walk, I swim
like a swan on a slow stream.
All women are just like women
but I am a queen,
I am on the scene,
Of course, I am not of a model height,
just a little bit overweight,
but…I’ve got so much charm,
and it’s written on my palm.
Yes, I can be sometimes furious,
and as a woman I can be...

A PARABLE ABOUT A REAL WOMAN
There were six men in her life
And they all loved her, but...
Their love was so different.
The first one was very rich.
He loved her because she was beautiful.
He just wanted to have a doll,
To demonstrate her to everyone
And listen to everyones' saying:
"Wow! What a beauty you've got!"
So, she has left him.
The second one loved her because he loved sex
And all the time in...

Woman's mood
No, I am not a beauty,
But I am simply cutey,
Someone says I am fluty
Hearing my voice.
No, I am not rude,
I just call things
By their proper names
And if you say my voice pings
I would better say it sings.
No, I am not ginger,
I am a golden grandeur,
And you see a danger
In my reddish hair,
It’s not fair my dear,
I am not a bushstranger
And you behave like a cr...

What do you wear Claire in the morning?
What do you wear Claire last thing at night?
What do you wear Claire?
And
Would you dare Claire?
In your underwear Claire
Or
Doesn’t that feel right?
Would you do it just for spite
Like you did to me last night
You know just the right things to say Claire
Yeah, you certainly have a way Claire
About you
Don’t wanna be without you
