“Thick Skinned – What it Feels Like for a Girl”



When you speak 
it’s as if stars cascade
out of your mouth 
galaxies you produce
musical incantations 
that I listen religiously to 

I watch your lips 
form glistening...

Walking besides the beloved's yard.
I saw her fragrance-enchanting the palace..
Her rosy essence couldn't make me stand-
For another while;darted I inside the house..
Fetching the water to the greens;
Stood she-besides me.
The eyes met-the song on her lips...

When I am grey and old and full of weakness
and nodding in my chair-  my book forgotten
it will be in memories I dwell . . . 

and in sorrow borrowed from teardrops I will...

Many politicians vociferously lie
Many politicians either hide or omit the truth
Many times, I sit down quietly in a booth
Enjoying a glass of chocolate mousse
And drinking orange juice
Serenely to listen and analyze many lawmakers’ words
I laugh...

You have undress my anger and made it bleed
Look into my eyes and behold rages
Nine months do i carried you in pains
Then nursed you in hardship amidst tears
Now you broke my heart righteously

I watch your lips move as you speak, 

your tongue curls against your teeth. 

I feel your smile as we share a look.

I want to know your likes, 

your dislikes. 

What are your hopes and...

I want to lay naked with you and play with the soft curly springs of your head
Shades of brown and shade of red
Look at your nose, so cute and adorable,
Is this a womans love?

Wait let...

As I sit at the top of your mountain,
I can see all you have been.
From your first words muttered with no one to hear,
To last night when you held yourself and cried,
When you were thinking...

THE  EMPERORS  BIRTHDAY.
Do  you  perceive  this  pleasant
Radiant  of  whisked  egg?
In  nakedness  of  darkness
Smell,

On  this  segment,
Please...

I look in the mirror and see my life
a young girl running and jumping
picking wildflowers for mother
helping daddy in his workshop
(well, on his bench anyways)
sitting on grandma's lap in the kitchen
listening to her tell...

He speaks of the weather, of family and friends...
anything to fill the spaces, and I wear his
words like my favorite sweater-
but not all spaces need filled with words.

The gaps are welcome, as I listen to...

Just acting strong I was
When everything looks more than worse
But I am me! I show no remorse
I laugh, I play and taunt of course
But that's for you
And i don't think you can see it too

Limbo 
Hunched over and holding a Zimmer frame 
Limbo
Waiting for a call that is never - ever going to come

The day draws nearer as the blinds on the window begin to shut sealed...

The scripts are burning
With a fearless gasp.
Scholars forever yearning
For the now lifeless grasp.

A single thought
Of disarray.
A night well fought
With a light that couldn't stay.

The flames grow
Licking the ill lit stars.
We'll forever know
Of these remaining scars.

Don't understand a word she says
Just musical accompaniments anyway
Forget the words, check out the face

FOCUS ON THE FACE

All parts work together , twin sisters
who instinctively know what's needed
Contain and convey the same message
Quick flip of...

Every night you stare deep into my soul. 
Reading my inner most thoughts.
We are bound together, wherever we go.
Only I truly see you, 
for who you really are.
I feel your very essence,

Mrs Know-It-All has joined our ladies group
I watch her lips droop
When she’s slurping soup

Joyce claims she won a trophy on Mastermind
(That big black chair you’ll find,
won’t fit her big behind!)

She drones on and on in...
