There’s a demon on my shoulder,
clipping toenails into my ear
An angel on the other,
nibbles wax so I can hear
He makes balm for my lips,
lights candles once a year
Both play devil’s advocate;
God knows they’re insincere?
Their words are quite pointed,
but sharper when being blunt?
My ears burn like hell
as rumours exchange every month
This tug-of-war’s relentless,
pulling strings to win my soul
If i’m nothing special;
why fight tooth and nail for control?
Lately they’ve switched shoulders,
maybe it’s to explore
Candles burn less often,
not on birthdays like before
Toenails fall unchecked,
my balm-less lips crack and swell
One day I’m living in heaven;
the next feels like bloody hell
This war is wearing me down
I can’t do wrong for right
My hair feels thinner,
no surprise from this endless fight
Searching for bald spots in the mirror
sheds light on their attack:
Those grifters do Brazilians
and pedicures behind my back.

What if darkness is our natural state
bear with me bubonically
we spend most of our life dead or asleep
less than a third awake
some stars are still forming
wear the ice eroded
mountains now mole
hill of a sentence
i've got milliseconds counting
would a million pedicures
be a milli
paid attention to the dark
visited all it wrinkles
no one happy waking
comfort by my eyelashes clamour
closing to reremember Deja vu
Dave yah view
to the darking
there should be darking
abyss watching
nothing as i dangle

yeah i know it should be where
Their wolf
There cast ill
Why are you talking like that
why does the dark feel warm
Seriously come on you darkness
you diviner of the moonlights glimpse
now try to say plinth
wont see you on the other side
cause my whole world is lacking b
ready for oblivion any time
no place
just gone

trying to keep up the pace
In a never ending race
Of life is wearing me
Further down upon my knee
On the go and never stopping
Day and night I'm always hopping
Struggling to get things done
Is becoming much less fun
I need to find time for relaxing
Before life starts smacking
Me so far down and can't stand
I need one day that's really grand
No worries or problems to
Try and fix-- I'm finally through
Facials, pedicures and waxing
Hours of non stop relaxing
Will help me to gain
The power from going insane

Facebook and Twitter are creating a vain generation of self-obsessed people with child-like need for feedback, warns top scientist.

One day both the hands
Decided to make a stand
Inviting both the feet
To where they all could meet
Down in the city park
To enjoy a pleasant walk
The feet both spoke out loud
We'll have to ask the mouth
He handles all of our affairs
From travel plans, to pedicures
From East to West, North to South
Here and there and there about
Gives everything we need
Through the chatter of his teeth
The ears they heard a roaring sound
And asked the eyes to look around
Of course it was the mouth
Telling them all to settle down
Who is it that gave the mouth control
Something that we may never know

My favorite shoes? It’s wearing none!
I'll go barefoot, to have a run
I hate to lose
the joy of ooze
between my toes. Some goo is fun !
I simply love my precious toes
to wiggle freely to and fro
Bound feet? Oh dear!
Don’t get me near!
A shoe is torture, and my foe!
I could not dance on twinkle toes
Could not advance my prance or pose
A barefoot stance
Is my best chance
of never needing pantyhose!
Indulge me please! I'll be carefree
removing shoes, in company
no matter what the circumstance
I'll slip them off at every chance
I'll tuck my feet behind my chair
assuming no one is aware
A happy dance, behind my back,
is going on, and that's a fact!
I hope that you won't think to check,
and say that I have no respect
My toes are happy, to be sure
Indulge me please, but don't despair
I'm saving up for pedicures!

This poem is written for the Gender Bender contest, sponsored by Richard Lamoureux!
**Passionately**
Why do you not hold me,
passionately?
The little things
that show you care.
Like running your fingers
through my hair!
You used to rub my back,
passionately!
the little things
like foot massages,
manicures and pedicures.
I always felt secure
we used to make love,
passionately!
The little things
like kissing my stomach
and inner thighs,
Dancing naked until sunrise!
We used to make out in public,
passionately!
The little things
like homemade meals for two,
date night once a month.
Love all night in the buff!
You used to speak to me,
passionately!
The little things are gone now
we fight more than we get along.
I've tried to stay strong
but my heart has moved on!
Name held until contest over!!

can you say you know who i really am
i wear my colors oh so bright even in the middle of the night
i don't dance a certain way or dress real fabulous
i'm not into manicures or facials or even pedicures
i don't walk with a switch or bend my wrist like this...
i don't talk with certain slang or hang out in a "gang"
i don't speak very loud or announce that i'm proud
i never asked to be this way nor am i blaming anyone
i won't hide in the closet since i already came out
i refuse to not speak up when i'm in a crowd
i can have a child or raise a family
i work as hard as you do and pay taxes too
i am smart and very wise with two eyes that see it all
i breathe and bleed the same as you and i pray to God too
you say i'm wierd and call me a freak
one thing you must remember is i'm real and thats unique
i tell you how it is you deny it ever was
they call me a dkye or lesbian some say i'm just gay
i tell you i am human just like you i just live another way
