Untamable Clemency, Collaboration With Ink Empress

A collaboration with Ink Empress, a piece we wrote for “Woman’s Day” for all the strong women warriors out there. Your strength is felt. 

“Untamable Clemency” 

Her heart is a 
chained haven,
for zestless intruders 
and fiendish foes, 
so tread delicately,
she is not a 
mindless marionette 
in your glistening 
gallery of greed—
glazed in rhinestone 
rhapsodies,
she is more 
than cold-boned ideologies, 
placed by timeless seasons,
she soars above 
restrained reveries,
as an untamable heat 
of clemency. 

Ink Empress
Fading Star Silence

Brandy Nicole October 13, 2023 at 7:33 PM You're exactly right, she's not a "mindless marionette." Simply allowing others to take advantage of her. She does have a voice.
