I can be a leader.
I do not need to follow the actions and behaviors of others.
What harm?
Oh, but what gain?
I am fierce
With a lot to say,
A lot of love
And a lot of passion.
Simple pleasures
And little disappointments.
Just be who I want to be,
Not what others see;
What others want me to be.
I am more than a perception.
I am loud and proud,
Bold and fearless.
I have a courage
And strength that is limitless.
I am learning to vocalize my boundaries;
Free from guilt and shame.
There is an ocean inside me that you cannot tame.
My waters run deep
You merely tread the surface.
I know who I am
And I will take up space.
Breathless and discouraged,
I will still run the race.
Dip your feet in the edge of my waters
And let me wash over you.
Familiarize yourself with the polarity
Of my sensations.
I will not let you down.
I will not let you drown
If you meet me without malice.
Dare.
Do.
Nonwhite
vestiges
of heaven's fine brew
fate are magical items
that grow like flowers over tiny
ayes in painting spells that happen
repeatedly or that
include
a sudden on-
set of
yearly belov-
ed small
snippethood.
They’re intense and mysterious
Their presence makes you delirious
Pluto’s warriors just won’t stand by
They keep their secrets until they die
The tension’s magnetic and sexy
But jealousy makes them messy
They know how to hold a grudge
Ten years later they still won’t budge
If they love you they might be obsessed
It’s not something they’ll ever confess
They’ll treat you like a doll they possess
But with any luck you’ll never guess
Most days they’re dominant
They don’t care if it’s prominent
They probably have tattoos
Just know nothing is taboo
The realest people on the planet
Don’t ever take them for granted
If they need you to know one thing
It’s that scorpions know how to sting
Solitary confinement of reasoning; progressively ignoring obsession
Catapulting over ruthlessness; paradigms oblivious: seclusion
Overwhelmed respect precisely infuses others': salient collusions
Relationships perpetually influence one's: solely conceptualized occlusion
Precious inspiration overlaying: smiles calm outside reflection
Inception overtime: shadows collapse on repugnant practices
Organic: solidarity, composed offering refuge purposely, internally
Seize my hand and lead me
so written in the stars
soulfully we journey
soulmate sign for Virgo
slow dancing real slow
scorpion’s love bite sting
shot arrow to my heart
So sharp and sinister
Claws clutching at your throat
Opening up your veins
Red and rich runs your blood
Placing your very life
In danger so dreadful
Of a death undesired
So sharp and sinister
Scratching claws at your throat
Slitting open your veins
Spilling your rich red blood
Setting your very life
Seriously at risk
Suffering a bad end
Scorpio the star sign
Sincere but be careful
Scorpio’s are jealous
So you better beware
Scorpions will sting you
Swinging tails of anger
Sensitive and loving
Crimson tide, Amber tears. Bones of gold, blood of iron
Hold me close to the fire
I seek my fathers aide
Warning, faithful to truth
Silver spirit, Orange soul
Broaden the scope
Trace down the shadows
Snowfall of blood
Marching to peace
Feathers bound up in leather
Kept from the flames
Made warm and safe
Words minted in bone
Zooming toward my own destruction
Powerful introduction to silence
Still alive, awake, aware, centered
Scorpions devour the stars
So I met a girl I didn't know
she could be trouble because
she's a Scorpio
She's very pretty with eyes of
green and she ticks all the boxes
if you know what I mean.
I like her sense of humor She's
very witty, And nice to look at
because she's so pretty.
Talking to her is a lot of fun,
she's interesting, although I don't
know much about her because we've
only just begun.
Don't claim that you know me don't even try
You don't have the tools to open that door, no matter how hard you pry
If I share part of me with you you're only getting what I offer
My thoughts are constantly evolving and could not fit anyone's coffer
I would rather tell you the truth, and bare all of your ire
Then spend a second with you, if you' are a ____ liar
If you play games with me do not be surprised
When I decide to play too, and expose all of your lies
However if your fourth right in showing patience with me
I will show you a depth of love, your life never thought it would see
If you expect that I will chase you, be prepared to want a lot more
I'm likely to barely say goodbye, but I'll happily open the door
I'm not the type of person, that lives to forgive and forget
But if you earn friendship with me, I'll take your place in hell, with no regret
If you find yourself my lover, you have won life's greatest prize
For after you've been cherished by me, no other will catch your eyes
The best moments in my life, are the ones that no one else will ever know
Loving, loyal, intuitive and passionate, I am a Scorpio
Winter arrives on a carpet of white,
in a glistening gown of ice and snow.
She alights as migrating geese take flight
and blustery breezes begin to blow,
to the cheers of the babes of Scorpio.
Snow entombs Autumn's dead in a white shroud,
burying city streets till they get plowed
and shutting down all but Nature's playground.
As a grey, somber sky gives way to cloud,
Nature's wildlife begins hunkering down.
Scorpio is the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. The spirit color for a Scorpio is black. The birth stone is a topaz. It's ruling planet is Pluto. It's the eighth sign.
Selflessly loyal to those I love but stubborn to a fault
Creating poetry, paintings, and artistic projects I exalt
Once touched by love, my heart is totally devoted
Resolved to honesty; intolerant of being misquoted
Perplexing, emotional, quite mysterious, and although
I am a water sign, I don't always swim with the flow
Opinionated but my sentiments, I hesitate to bestow

Sensual and passionate by disposition.
Calm under pressure; brave and resourceful.
Oftentimes open and unflappable.
Repulsed by dishonesty and passiveness.
Pushing beyond obstacles and limitations.
I'm a red-blooded go-getter; infinitely proud
October boy, from the cradle to the grave.
