I never got to dance with Mary Jane
although I heard she sure knows how to swing!
She has a twin, and he is masculine;

or bringing sweet relief for those in pain.
His tall and sturdy...

Her legacy, a carnage littered place. 
A crassness hidden by a comely face. 
How many roles she played to such acclaim
The naive lovers crushed with cool disdain. 

Such cruelty, in order to succeed, 
Disguised by gifted wit to mask her greed. 
When front doors opened,...

and she knew.. what I was after...
and I said I'd catch her when...

Benumbed Jane!

"he'd never give a plain Jane like you a second's thought"
(but hellishly reign his godly wife)

O Jane!
Be little prettier 
Be more wiser
Crucify your benumbed senses 
Resurrect your eloquent vehement 
Why she choose to be the godly wife?
Why he choose to be the beastful husband?
Let's...

Henry's very first wife was Catherine of Aragon,
both pious...

This is my story…
A headless lighter, a writer
Mix up with silver long metallic
Make the agitations clear cold then warm
Neurons from above became so clear
I can hear my heartbeats like a doldrums
Because I’m just a woman with a perfect body
But now, it turned flat because of...

Jane Merchant (2)

Invalid of flesh (but not of soul),
She saw Creation whole,
And hymned the seasons come to pass
Beyond her bedroom window-glass—
December trees—and April rain-wet grass.
