Lyrically Spun

Beautifully woven ~ magically spun Carefully wondering about the years to come Awakened fury rises inside my soul of pride Driven ambitiously by this girls' ride Seeking in deepened abyss of my heart Finally found a woman who's smart Educated & classy ~ this angel drops into my life To pick up these jigsawed pieces inside me that crave a wife To be the gentle side of me when I am rough To be there with me ~ broken and lonely when life gets too tough To make me see the tender pieces of a woman (The difference from just taking her to the can) The sensitive side of her body I shall cherish Something that started simply from a wish The seductive spell of a body exactly like mine Same sex with this woman ~ finally time

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall Why can't you pick me up when I fall? Why can't you be there when I need you the most? Why can't you travel with me from coast to coast? Why do you trick? And why do you lie? Why can't you hold me when I start to cry? Why can't you be there when stuff goes bad? Why can't you manage to comfort me when I'm sad? You're supposed to be me in that mirror on the wall So mirror, mirror, why can't you pick me up when I fall?

Beautiful Rhyme

Behold! The beauty of a Beholder! Sheltered from this world by a boulder I'm tickled & pink to be her first and last Sexiest girl in the world; smart, honest, and with class Beautiful body and beautiful mind My beautiful rhythm to my beautiful rhyme Steady racing pace to my beating heart She's finally here now ~ I don't ever want to be apart Sinister ending to my seductive life Finally I found her ~ my beautiful wife Touching & tender my fingertips across her skin Finally I found my Halo ~ I finally win! Our bodies lying naked and intertwined The places my fingers across your body find The tiny curves that make up your angelic form Are bubbling and creating inside of me a storm A storm of Queen and the ways you need Let me open your lungs and finally allow you to breathe

Memorized Memories

Distantly wandering ~ a meadow-vast lake Refusing to let the consumption of my heart break Icy cold tears frost over my face & cheeks Being lost for weeks and for weeks Broken down ambition ~ too weak to fight Suddenly she appears like an angel in my life Opening the reality of a bond between girls Determined to create a relationship that unfurls Aimlessly waiting for years for her soul And craving the right girl to rock-n-roll Possessing her thoughts, body, and mind I think I found you, baby, this time Exhausted from search and it be nothing but fight Finally found a woman as a possible wife Golden and glowing ~ she inhabits my body With limitless ways to make her happy and naughty Be responsible to care for her ~ now that she's mine It's been an unpleasant search ~ now it is time To live by my side in a big world of us Off the bat we've succeeded our series of trust To hold her naked some days through the night In my head bursting bright sparks of light Kissing her lips and holding her waist Feeling her warmth ~ memorizing her taste Protection from the unworthy who will try and take my place So many memories to create ~ not a second to waste

Independence

Deep in journey --- deep to be blind Running in circles --- all out of time Trying to grow to as strong as I can be It's hard because I am the only one that believes I guess yourself is all it takes To set off time-bombs and start quakes Tiny storm in my teacup clouds my way Determining whether or not I should stay... So many quests yet to complete But mentally and physically too weak Spinning sand tumbling in the hourglass of life Not my time now to become a wife Gotta work on myself to be all I can be Gotta learn and stay educated and be free! Free from the hardships all in my life All the ammunition put in this fight Too much wasted time for me to endure Confidence, independence, and life for sure

Being Watched

Darkened abyss mirrored in the night Hazed over in a gloomy shame Blocking all of my peripheral sight Lonely and lost without a name Forgotten and trapped buried in fright Dwelling in all of my haunting past sins Waning moon lost in the depths of the night Defending myself and battling without my friends Furious red eyes watch my every step Cursing my mind with negative thoughts So, so, deep in my demented mind in depth Feeling my soul disintegrate as my body rots Dying inside but nobody knows how I feel Circling through my insane mind frame For my sanity and love someone did steal Ward #B Insane Asylum torment and pain Given up hope and all that means well Given up loving and the passionate nerve Dying and burning in this insanity Hell Cars coming at me blindly --- unable to swerve Not a nightmare --- but real-life indeed! Not exaggerating but speaking the truth Because I just don't qualify for the human breed

Sleep-Created Fantasy World Part 2

I bent down and sat on a elfridge log While a crying frog came out of a bog I set my precious best friend, Anya, on the ground I distantly listened to the goblin and giants thundering sound I put a hand up and petted my white-tiger guardian He nestled my hand and sat down loyal We had to go to the king Russo who was so royal White-tiger guardian, Koda, told me what was up And how the giants and goblins kidnapped his pup At that point, from my own eyes, tears began to fall I felt responsible, I had to report this call I stood up quick and formatted a plan Until someone cut in and screamed, “we’re under attack!” and everyone ran The goblins and gnomes found out I was back They begin to attack all dressed in jet-black I chanted out spells, curses, and such I knew I knew them, I’d practiced so much “Curse you for trying to destroy my world Wither now and become unfurled Don’t look back you awful demons For this is not your world and you have no reasons You shall not be here, you aren’t the boss This world belongs to me from the trees to the moss From the animals and friends that I have made Curse you all and go to shame” The words rolled their eyes to the back of their brains Ten-thousand bodies sounded like trains They fell over dead with groans While they died gently with thousand of moans I saved my world with a certain curse Because of a spell I had to constantly rehearse My world was saved and everything in it I was crowned queen and I left a permanent dent I went to King Russo and recaptured Koda’s pup I regained everything back that was stolen --- all the stuff King Russo was happy too that I was home Now my sun shines and no one’s alone

Deja-Vu

I hear the ticking of the clock I don’t know how much longer I can face this walk I hear the sirens flaring in my ears I look way back a couple of years I see childhood faces of kids growing up I see the first time ever I got my very own pup I hear all the words kids used to tell me I’m completely chained down without being free I hear the evil laughs echoing in my ears I see the frustration, pain, and fright from all these years I slowly seep in this everlasting lie I pray to roll over and just die The footsteps they creep up and down the hall While my disfigured body crumbles against the wall The black and blue slowly climb over my face Beaten alive by my very own race Blacken tears crawl desperately down my cheeks I feel like I haven’t slept for weeks My soul’s been stolen and there’s nowhere to run I can’t believe how I could have been so dumb He’s in my face screaming as loud as his lungs allow Wearing nothing around my body but a bloody bath towel I listen to his degrading words echoing in my mind I’ve gotten myself in this eternal bind When he raised his hand the first time, I should have been gone But he told me he’d change--I guess he was wrong Almost four years now and I realize If I stayed longer, I could have been dead or paralyzed So I sit here and think about what happened then I sit here and realize I finally did win I got away alive and well From my forsaken, stalking, hell I’ve moved on now and I’m stronger I’m glad this test wasn’t any longer Surrounding myself with opened eyes No more asking myself all the why’s Understanding now that there were no intentions of change So blind then--body derailed and deranged Self-esteem still extremely low But now I’ve experienced it and now I know So almost four years later and sit and rethink About the times when my pirate ship did sink But I’m still not the only one So many battered women under our sun Every now and then the Deja-vu slips in But I simply remember the one time I did win

Candy-Coated Dreams

Spearmint grass and cotton candy trees Banana palms and coconut breeze Fiery cinnamonworks to glisten the skies Apple turnovers and cherry-filled pies Tiny teacup cookies with sugar plates Sweet cranberry sauce and jellied dates Chocolate clouds with a banana-split sun Delicate roses taste like raspberry gum Juicy sweet treats in a world of fun Stretching as far and as wide as I can run Hershey-kissed mountaintops with milk-dud dirt Blistering vanilla-frosting fog dances by my skirt Cherry-flavored rocks made from candy too Every color of our rainbow --- purple, pink, and blue White-chocolate doves fly hollow in the sky More candy here than anyone can buy

Remembered Past

Remembered boy along these lines Remembered roughness through our tough times Remembered blue eyes with his laughing look Remembering him reading me like an open book I called him up the other day With so many memories for me to say I haven't spoke to him in over a year And I can't remember from him my last tear Remembered walks and remembered talks Remembering his slyness just like a fox Remembered our high school years with each other Remembering the wrestling-match with me and his brother Remembering old songs he used to dedicate to me Remembering 7 long years of us smoking bomb tree Remembering deep talks and the tears we have shared Somewhere along the lines then were we the cutest pair The pictures taken of him and I Remembering nothing unasked or a why Remembering bus rides down the 38 Remembering his love and never experiencing his hate I remember calling him in front of my fireplace back at home Remembering our plans that were once set in golden stone I remember the years I spent by his side Somehow hasn't completely yet died I remember his smile and his familiar touch Way back when I loved him so much My pureness to him I chose once to give up Back when we were just kids --- just little pups But still throughout high school our love stood proud and tall Taller and taller and taller than the Berlin Wall Now years later he's back to reunite Back as best friends --- never having to fight But with him he's brought a new piece of him For I see Sophie has scored her perfect 10 Back a bit taller and a bit wiser than before Back into my life into my newly-opened doors And it hurts more than it ever has before It hurts over all over again on top of all my past sore To see him with her is a blessing I do confess But our strong past history is being a pest I smile for him, I talk to him, I make him laugh I released his true love from a contradicting, jaded, wrath Back to his arms she is home once again Watching my new best friend score his prize and win I look at him now to the man he's become And give her props because she's truly won To see a smile across his gentle face And to watch him set his everlasting champagne glass on a beautiful lace Would make life worth all of the while And make me happy to see his well-deserved, happy smile
