Harassment at homeAt 7 she is at her father’s mercy
She will be shown no mercy
A life with absolutely no love
She will be like a lonely dove
Sitting in the nest
Doing her best
She will never taste true love
She will never be as free as a dove
Being groped and touched by her dad
Is a life that is so very sad
She...

If Someone Had StayedEveryone slept after spilling their pain
into arms that held them without asking,
while I sat wide awake,
longing for someone who never came
to ask me how I was holding myself together.
If only someone had been mine,
maybe sleep would’ve held me too.
But every time I get close—
they remind me gently, cruelly,
that solitude stings less
than love that leaves mid-sentence.
I...

PAEDOPHILES RUNNING THE SHOWPAEDOPHILES RUNNING THE SHOW.
It doesn’t matter where you look
Or anywhere in the world you go,
The only thing that’s guaranteed
Is there is a paedophile running the show.
From ancient times to modern day
Frome a home to the highest tower,
Paedophiles will always infiltrate
Into a position of power.
Rings established networks built
With protection guaranteed,
From top to bottom in society
They spread...

Bestie became enemy?? "Bestie Became Enemy"
Bestie became enemy, sharp like a knife,
I never thought you'd cut me out of your life.
I gave you my secrets, my soul, my trust,
Now all that's left is broken dust.
You knew my pain, you held my hand,
I thought you'd always understand.
But jealousy grew where love should stay,
And now your kindness fades...

LOCKED OUTYou cheated in our relationship
You said one thing, and it was actually for another
Supposed to be number one
Turned out into no number at all
I was put on pause
You were the cause
Always stepping out
Here and there all about
Mr. Swinger and Ms. Slinger
Decided to investigate
Catch you in the act
Wasted no time
I found your address book
It wasn’t...

COUNCIL OF WHISPERERSCOUNCIL OF WHISPERERS
they gather—
the council of whisperers.
their tongues are like daggers,
sharp and jagged.
distorted by the lens of others’ eyes,
each word, a falsehood, an inuendo.
they script the downfall,
a play of betrayal where the protagonist stumbles.
they do...

Split after WedDulcet whispers, pairs of three,
Enact a dangerous dance.
What on earth is eternal?
Springing up from her stupor,
Tosses her ceremony-
Golden ring of fantasy.
Truth tastes like sun in her throat....

DIVINE DIVERSIONSThe devil couldn’t reach me,
so he sent diversions in the form I desired most.
He wrapped lies in laughter,
gave them cute faces,
glittered them up like gold.
And I forgot, sometimes a wound wears jewels,
sometimes danger looks like everything you ever prayed for.
So I fell for it.
I wasn’t the sun in their day, nor the star in their...

How much do you loveDo you still love me Jehovah. If you do, why are my troblems so many. Why are my enemies like the grains of the sand. Why is calamity my predator. I am afraid to chose, to talk, and to act because the repocussion is like an untimely bomb. I chose to serve you, and yet...

I Am Not Yours to ShapeI am the river, wild and wide,
Not yours to dam, not yours to guide.
You cast your stones, but I still flow—
A deeper truth than you can know.
The wind does not explain its flight,
Nor asks permission for its height.
So why should I, with open skies,
Bow low to soothe your jealous eye's
You lied with ease, then turned...

The Twine that BindsOut of my mind and lost in time
Holding on to a love unkind
Unwind the twine that cruelly binds
Me to my severed valentine
Her voice still calls through echoing halls
As madness clings to crumbling walls
All consumed in lingering perfume
Her presence like a ghost haunting this room.
Left behind—a love consigned
A fantasy born within my mind
She gave...

The Dagger
I’m reminded of you in everything and everywhere.
You’re the coolest thing for the eyes to see.
The most beautifully crafted piece in the collection.
The harmless object when it’s inside its box.
I see you in the sharpness of everything and everywhere.
You’re the scariest thing for the heart.
The deadliest weapon for the soul.
The...

The Hollow of FarewellWatching the empty streets
As a heavy rain wash the dirty town.
Deep darkness drape the drives
That lead to dead ends.
Drafts of wind dash hanging pots,
Ruin is the reign of the time.
She barely breathed a farewell.
No whisper weaving a soft adieu
Not even a hug or a parting kiss.
My heart echoes a hollow hum.
It beats like the harsh...
