Watch Out For Grandma

as if she knew kids were not around,
she got up the board, without a sound. 
statuesque, she surfs with ease,
self-taught hun, she aims to please,
her younger self, would've won a crowd.

Autumn

dark,
whistling,
tempting nights,
consuming I.
Exhilarating,
midnight starring,
orange skies,
sinful
times.

The Unspoken Truth

Women in my family 
Born and raised in patriarchy
Sentenced to bitterness 
Speaking less to apologies. 

Women in my family 
Silenced from a tender age
Loud in ignorance 
No one is up for the change. 

Women in my family 
I wish they could see
Homophobia is a disease
They should quit judging me.

Nights

mesmerizing skies,
disco moon, wolves howl on cue ~ 
inner beasts, unleashed.

My Best Love

Comforting silence, something about us
I've chosen to love a rainbow of colours.
Eyes communicate what tongues fail to dissect,
soul to soul connections, regardless of our consent.
Bodies make love as they intertwine,
like souls who've met before our time. 
Laughter, lively, feeling up the room,
who would have known I could comfortably spoon.
As I watch you take portions of my problems away,
I fall deeper, diving into the well of a clichè.
Time stands still, to witness lips kindle with intention,
manifested is our utmost, unknown invention.
Transparent, thorough, genuine, rare,
I'm honoured to have experienced you, my dear.

Life On Earth

Is it too late to ask to be unbirthed?
Born into a world of greed, selfishness and fame
brings me no honour as I am without any yet 
need to have in order to live
Unnecessary pressure
Can my mother unbirth me, please?
Am I here to be a doorknob, welcome mat 
or shoulders to cry on? 
Shoulders, yes, the more the merrier right?
Drowning whilst having to breathe another day
caught between their misconceptions,
perceptions and perspectives 
none of it brings me closer to hope
Hope for my own validations,
ambitions or identification 
of my own sexuality 
Like I don't have my own issues?!
Excuse me if I adult cry
Every other time
Excuse me if I have to lash out
Sometimes you need to leave me out!
Get out!
Somebody, help before I pray to be
Unbirthed alive

Love Vs Hate

Love 
heart-felt, honest 
reciprocating, reflecting, recieving 
partners, plans, prime-suspects, prisoners
fight, fumble, fall
dangerous, deceitful
Hate

Open the Floodgates

Locked up in stares
Silence is the teacher
Spread in bed
Time should forgive us 

You caress my troubles 
An invitation to my pleasures 
You awaken my senses 
Despite my inner seizures  

Your thrusts pound on the exterior
Body gestures for improvement
Attentive but less spoken 
You deliver to my inner 

My sounds, your melody
Your touch, my symphony 
Hands where they should be 
Lips need not speak 

Time has forgiven us
You've unleashed the beast

Ruined

A dish full of vanilla flavoured ice-cream
welcomed her sighs in the afternoon,
to calm the storm embedded within.
Bubbles in a glass stare in despair,
as strawberries float,
while the mess in her life, unfolds.
River down, you tears.
Canceled are plans to review televised scenes,
for plagued are the thoughts of today.
The mobile phone vibrates for attention, 
the kettle calls upon final decisions, 
to help sink in the sin with tea or burn the skin off the revolting memories.
The tongue is too tied to scream out the lies,
body stiff and still, 
unreachable are the blinds. 
The room darkens in time,
as the day calls for the night,
a question quivers,
of how will she even sleep tonight...

Sun-Kissed

The sun kissed her despite what overcame her, under the moon.
