and loving thoughts so hardly chaste,

Ballad
I am a girl I am a girl,
Everyone sees it.
I graciously accept the label,
Twirling in a girls spool,
And playing it up for others.
Sometimes I feel an itch,
In a place I can't reach.
There are times when it quells,
When my voice cracks,
And I am somewhere else.
Where my hair is to my...

our curse - a love poemi see the way you look at him,
holding his hand,
kissing him,
and i see you’ve been cursed.
cursed to love a man you never truly loved,
cursed to lose the girl who gave you butterflies.
if you were a boy,
you said, so many years ago,
i think i’d want...

PerceptionsI saw the rage in his gaze,
His seductive art
I felt his digitus medius, longing to write his name inside my ****.
He charged up as usual
Still looking little unsettled with a sudden crash of energy,
I wanted to escape the situation, but his grip was tight...

Let It OutThere was something inside him
Screaming to be let out
Screaming to be seen
There was something inside him
But then he understood what it was
And she let it out...

A FORBIDDEN LOVEIn quiet corners where no one sees,
Two hearts find solace, though love's not free.
A gentle touch, a fleeting smile,
In a world that deems their love a trial.
Their love, a secret they must protect,
From judging eyes and harsh neglect.
They hold each other in the dark,
Wishing the...

Lost Pantheons
“Lost Pantheons”
Alexandrine tragedies
Racine diamond-edged
come and go
French letters
blown like leaves
straight up
into the rarefied air
scattered like lovers
against a body
of purple vain poetry
written invisible
on the skin of
Miss Chance
Cocteau
spoken with
joie de vivre crisp
sharp apple-red lips
painted over
Comme des Garçons...

That's the Way We Do ItWe were taught
that to be qu**r
means to be strange,
to be unlike the rest,
to be different,
but not in a way that would raise surprised brows
or taint eyes green with jealousy.
We were taught
that to be qu**r
means to be different
in a way...

Flux Eterna“That body is female!”, they tell me.
At the turn of the moon
It purges itself of its sins,
Washing away what lives could have been,
Punished for failing biological duties.
“That body is female!”, they tell me.
Forever marked with the scarlet letter,
The big, bold, burning red “F”
Branded on the...

Hell, her most beguiling art’s

Play It AgainIf it's not organic
it's not sexy
and probably not all that amusing
either.
If it's up and down bipolar movement
with arms versus legs,
it's Yang male energy,
and potentially horned up
and/or out-sized survival.
If it's side to side dipolar,
it's Yin synergy,
all about love
surfing liberally up,
vulnerably unfolding out,
and conservatively back down
refolding in

Parallelismus Membrorum
***** FearAt first it's just a glance or two
Then a blush before you knew
What was going on
Denial begins to dawn.
There is no way
That I could be gay…
But that girl is so pretty
She looks so soft, pity
That I like guys
It's the look in the eyes
Beneath her...

FoundationHold me,
And don’t judge me please.
I am your love,
I am your seed.
Created by you,
Molded differently.
How much more could our connection be?Art
Ready for Display,
Waiting to be pressed firmly.
Twirling with Irony.
Dancing through stick and stones,
Am I your love?
I am your seed.
Created with Energy,
Our connection soon to be.
Love...
