He knew he would never find
another woman who was as smart
and as stupid as me
That was his reason

Keeping me around meant 
he'd always have a brain

sliding into our nightmares, 
acrid smoke, bee-keeping our hives

The Fallacy of Agnosticism

The ideal person, right and sensible?

Don'T Demean Meaning
In my life, narrow margins matter
Opening my eyes wide
To better perspectives which don’t flatter
Dispensable pride riding on the tide

To which I don’t subscribe
Despite unusual forms and storms
I ride although I can’t...

Breaking the bones of his weak allies.

Bleeding the blood that pumped your toxins

metamorphoses into an object inert.
A being pristine and vibrant abused

Premium Member Kindness Is a Blessing
A smile

can make anyone feel
good regardless of their status,
