AI
If a parliamentarian votes yes,
Does he say A or Aye?
Can we trust that politician.
If instead he says AI?
Is he speaking tongue in cheek?
Is he confused, merging A and Aye
Or using a new form of double speak?
Might he be a historian
Lost in thoughts of Israel’s Ai?
When asked mother may I

You Can Deny Me
You can't deny me we were a true love story
Accepted your prize as reveled in your glory
Because I can feel you, and you can feel me
You can deny me, but you will never be free
You can leave me, and go find another lover
But inside you will still love me like no other
Making love to them

To deny my femininity is to deny a part of me
To deny my femininity is to deny a part of me. Those lustful energies were never my own; they were projections of what others assumed about me, shaped by their own speculations. I refuse to accept that narrative because I value myself. Cheap trinkets and misguided expressions of love are beneath me; I deserve more.

Deny, Defend, Depose
Deny the whispers that snake through the cracks,
their weight too heavy, their truth too raw.
Shield your soul with veils of silence,
words wrapped in shadows, never fully formed.
Defend the fortress you built in haste,
each brick laid with trembling hands,
each wall painted with promises unkept.
Stand your ground against the tidal doubt,
even as the waves carve their mark.
Dispose

A Synogogue in flames, and the hate..Whats all this in
Australia mates? Live and let flourish is what I know
The older generations taught me so.' Strong work
Ethics; and time for your brother, not this 'clockwork destructive'
Well..? That belongs to others.!! The jackboot crowd clad
In hugo boss, facades of order, thin veneer some gloss..
No doubt self-haters.) Devoid

DENY EVERYTHING
I writ a poem while in the loo
Not busy, nothing else to do
I writ it on some toilet paper
Recapturing some of a lost night’s caper
It seem so quickly things go wrong
Woke up this morning in a thong
Somehow it seems to fit just right
Not too loose, not too tight
My co-conspirators will give me thanks
When I fill

Run around
Run around the fear, love
Peer into your own heart
Looking back from the mirror
Cracks in the heart bleeds
Running down the mirror I

Sasha: the Zuze
Humbly;
With no disrespect,
Or ill manner;
Were I Jesus,
I’d build my church on her!
Simon Peter would deny me thrice,
But I could rely on her. I can.
She’s never let me down.
So, on her I’d build my church,
The foundation;
She’d be my rock.
And in her I’d plant my seed,
Assured; come harvest, I’ll reap!
Whatever you may think of this,
Precisely, it is

An Invitation I Could Not Deny
This morning, soft amber light woke me.
Its warmth held me in a lover's embrace,
whose fingers gently touched my face.
Sunshine danced with such lively esprit,
beckoning me to come and play outside.
An invitation that could not be denied.

King Lie
“King Lie”
His name was Lie.
He carried his name high.
He could not deny
The lie he led.
He gleamed from
Cheek bone to cheek bone;
When no one opposed
The lies he led,
When there was no truth to be told.
Why should anyone care?
He thought
“If no one cares
I can be bold.
More lies to

Fleas Who Deny Dogs Exist
I need no dog, the arrogant, annoying flea biter said.
He promptly did a summersault on his sweet head.
Well don’t look at me, said the old man flea Lee.
I am biting flesh right now, but no dog I see.
The dog gave a yelp and scratched a hole in his back.
But he was not as quick as
