with ornate lacework in its center.
Parisian-esque, it looks likes an entrance to adventure
and inspires me with its sophistication.

Classic silent films
Redundant technicolour
Piano plays mood

Panther and snow leopard duelling with chess
Under a scintillating firmament
A dome of diamonds floating on infinity
Moonlight softly slicing the shadows

Alternating attrition
Pawn takes pawn
Bishop takes pawn
Rook takes...

Hattie L. Rogers

1844 – 1917


The playing cards of life are a stacked deck.
As soon as you begin to breathe
You begin to die and disintegrate.

Back in chains

tongue under this blade lies

Controlled and programmed
To only do the mistresses bidding

My personality sent into obscurity
Like a tattered note devoid of rhythm
Always give sound to your voice
There is a reason you have...

A mad woman with shattered
hair, bridled with great fulfilled
ego and pride among all women.
A troubled soul in the midst of

Hanging here and there are her
beauties spreading like an Eagle's

Taking life as the day brings
