The Cocoon.
The Inner woman was a myth in eyes of the oppressed
Limited to one
To one that gives her life
The layers of her thoughts lay dipped in his hands
Controlling the pieces of what was hers and what was his
She was kept a secret
Making her beauty lay diminished in his arms of trust and deceit,
Her Wings clipped
Her Ambition sorrowed
Her Spirit locked
The Butterfly's land was
Complete, with unchallenged control
The oppressor dominates all,
She came into this world unknown,
She looks to the sky, for the infinite dream,
her guide is heart, the trust of her pride,
Looking for a way
To bring happiness to herself, in all ways possible
She's lost in the eyes of what beauty of isn't
Consumed by the walls that have for shaken , moved and grown her
Little did she know, she was growing power through slumber.
Underneath the blossoming flowers and the sweet nectar breeze, laid the beauty of divinity.
The flare of her voice
The span of her wings
The beauty she had within her
Is the greatest joy, that was brought upon this earth.
We lay and wait, to watch the Cocoon unfold,
This Is a war that our Little Butterfly is going in on her own,
She may stumble, she may fall
She will fight the oppressor in all
Her wings dented,
Her Spirit unsure of,
She is it still our Little Butterfly.
Reborn.

Taylor Cathey Poem
"For She Is Me"
Through trials and tribulations
Dark days guide her to the light
At night she regains what is hers
Nothing contemporary was meant to last
Through the mirror
The Glass eclipse the voice behind her eyes
The hunger
The pain
The power she craves
Is what I put first
For she is me
Before I beg and plead to be considered half as important as you
My throne is what I aim to conquer
For she is me
The rich and divine woman of the land
For you I am too divine to hold
A mere Butterfly wrapped in silk and gold
Is not meant to be caged
For She Is Me
Nor does the crown that is placed upon my head be unshined or unnoticed
For She Is Me
I reign
I rise
I grind
I made this Kingdom and it will continue to grow
For I rise
For she is me
For I am that power
The one and only Queen B.

"The Flaming Cocoon "
"4"
Dark covers unfold
The oppressor grip fastens on her wings
Butterfly's colors change
Her skin grows spiked
The glow is luminescent
Eyes round
Back bent
Hair ravaged
Teeth sharp
A rare beauty
Who carried gold and silk upon her back and shoulders
Wears the scars of matted fur and tattoos of rag
As he holds her treasures
He whispers the melody of their love
The entanglement of his deceit
Wrapped in fantasy and soul
Has won her heart
Mind
Body
And soul
One betrayal for another
Marks the territory of her despair
Only growing the mark of the beginning
The mark of the tiger.

Taylor Cathey Poem
"The Symbols I Bare"
She floats like a Butterfly
Stings like a Bee
Her flow is undeniable
She's the midnight to any man's breeze
On the edges of her back
she wears the marks of the Tiger
Undeniably strong in her pursuit
She is not to be under estimated
It's the challenge she craves
Passionate
Intense
Is what describes her
Inside & out
Her inner flame will never go out
Butterflies, Tigers and all...,
You go on,
She goes on,
For you I do not chase,
For me, I go on.

Taylor Cathey Poem
"Her Inner Flame"
When a man looks into her eyes, he knows the name, but not the beauty of her worth. he does not know what secrets lie, underneath that dress, and between her legs, he thinks that getting into heaven is the easiest game.
Imagining his destiny with his face buried in the center of her thighs, saying he’s never felt so alive.
You're drawn to her inner flame, because that's how she knows herself. But you mustn't mistake her as another notch on your belt,
To her its more than just sex, or the temptation of her desires. It's The experience of becoming one with another, that fills her heart’s desire.
Beneath the layers of her makeup.
The roundness of her hips, The length of her legs, and dark glowing the color of her lips,
laid a woman who knew the purpose, and virtue of her soul.
To only let it go, To bring out the flame that was long to be born, She turned herself into a goddess,
To be loved and cherished, like the flower she is.
But you never claimed her as yours,
so she became known for the free spirit she is.
Though she was never yours to keep, she leaves you with this speech.
“Don’t mistake what you feel, hold her close and make it real,
With or without you, She’s knows her worth,
If you never stopped to know what she was, or who she could have been,
Then you have never seen the beauty of any woman. “

Taylor Cathey Poem
Lured with
Laced saturated oils of crystal and sand
Covered in roses
Black silk curtains filled the womb as they flowed and danced
Following the rhythm
As he spun at his web
She laid down her wings
as the music softened
Her dress followed
She was in tranced, as he too began to unfold
Leaving nothing but her desirous naked soul
The trap is set. Oppressor is taking in by all.
Through his sexual divinity, and her loving oasis, combines the gift of ultimate destination.
Of what is certain of the power that he holds in his hands.
Knotted and planned,
Oppressor was hers,
The Crown Is snatched from the throne, The Cocoon is set ablaze, Leaving Butterfly on top, at long last.
(Oppressor)
The oppressor lays down his verses
"To you I am king, the only one you need"
Let us share the power, that lays beneath,
Rare beauty, you mustn't test what's meant to be,
I hold the key. To your destiny.
(Butterfly)
My wings are not to be clipped, nor belong to you
The power you seek inside of where the fire grows
Is nothing compared to an Undying Rose
(Butterfly)
To be wrapped in his arms,
(Oppressor)
To be the god of her worth
(Butterfly)
Pressed against his body
(Oppressor)
Beauty all consuming
(Butterfly)
He's eyes say he is evil,
That's all they see,
His words, and vision are grim with scheme,
Power is what he wants, he's done it to all,
Mine is stronger than his will ever be.
I'll show you divinity, and rob you of your wicked tactics and spells,
Leaving nothing but of a rotting shell.

Taylor Cathey Poem
"A QUEENS FLOW"
At the top she stands pretty
Like a tiger on top
Flowing like a Butterfly wrapped in gold
Beneath the throne
Her beat is swift
Jay z and Drake don't know about this chick
Like Nicki and B,
On the flawless tip
Slicker than average
She on own her flow
Before she was the shorty that hid in the back
Wearing plastic crowns and pearls
Turning them Into art
Following the rhythm of Maya's words
The beat hit like a ton of Bricks
the flow of her heart
She Dance to it
The stumble is what made the passion
I flow through intensity
Step to it like a cat
Diamond necklaces and skinny jeans
She run the streets,
like a catwalk of a fashion show
Harder the work
Better the Grind
Seeking the fierce
Through tears
Through pain
Through countless heart break
She made it to the top
While pulling A+`s
representing the sistas on the block
Online
In class
Making the history
Honoring the hustle
All in a days work
She made it to the top
No questions
No answers
It's about to be mine
I hold my Crown high
It's do or die.

Taylor Cathey Poem
A Man's mind, A Woman's Heart.
(Ameir & Noni)
(Ameir)
I'm tired, I'm restless, I'm all in between,
But the feelings I have for you, lay on the other side of me.
(Noni)
My heart says one thing, my mind says another, my body is constantly under unsure of the thoughts of you becoming my lover.
Of what we can be, or never be,
(Ameir)
Finding love and freeing it, has always been a mystery to me.
I say Love is the root of mankind, sharing it has always been a passion of mine.
Though curious like a rabbit
And sharp as snake,
My soul is not one to be shaked.
(Noni)
You say love will come easy, if that is true, I want you to know, that my feelings aren't always certain of what may come.
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
To protect my pride, to protect my soul, I only live to fight through it all.
I learned to love myself first, before giving my heart another.
(Ameir)
But now that you are here,
It's all underwater
or in between,
To love or to live in fear, are two concepts that will never disappear
(Noni)
My independence and passion will never lay on the line,
my mind and my body are not yours to control,
I'd rather live unhappily, then be treated like your dog.
You'll see that catching me, will never be easy, because I'm just like a bird, that will only fly's away.
(Ameir)
To live another day like she always has, you will be nothing but the glimpse of her past.
(Ameir) (Noni)
If Love is the game, and part of the soul,
(Noni)
Let's wait and see,
Of what will become of us all.
(Ameir) (Noni)
Together we stand, together united, I will give all my love, my body,
(Man) (Woman) (Man)
My trust, my heart, my dreams, My everything to you.
If it's love, it Is love, but if we stumble on the cracks,
(Ameir/Noni)
Remember, we've got each other's backs.

Taylor Cathey Poem
I Didn’t Ask to Fall in Love With You, It Just Happened" 05-21-15
I Didn’t ask to fall in love with you, it just happened
I try not to Love you
When i awake in the morning
I still am in Love with you
You want me to feel what you feel
It hurts to think about you touching me
but makes me warm to think about
I don’t trust guys all that well
I’ve never been touched or felt up, Though longed to cradled
I know you aim not to hurt me
I shouldn’t because it's wrong
I should because you’ve opened something inside of me that i’ve never had before
Lover after Lover, I’ve left or been left
Love is not easy
Nor easy to come by
I been someone’s Angel, Baby or Goddess
But never belonged or allowed to be owned by another
Too Stubborn
Too Foolish is what I see in myself with this challenge
The pattern formed when you showed who you became in the present,
As I lay and Dream I vision the impossible
You pulling me
Touching your face as you lay your hands around my waist
My blouse unbuttoned
Your breath hot as mine
I lay sweet kisses around your neck
I take thee into my arms and show what I hold inside
Though Sexual
Though Passionate
Though Exotic and Intangible
Though Hearts so pure and untainted with undiscovered worth
Hidden behind the mask of anger and attention
You let me know your more than the words you sprout for attention and fear
You have a soul
I shouldn't feel what my heart won't allow me to act upon
To feel your touch
The smell of your skin
Those Beautiful Brown Eyes, make mine drip
What you feel in your heart makes mine jump on pins
My mind says no
My heart says yes
Tempted to you, tempted to not
Though will never be one
You're still in my thoughts
.........................................Taylor Nichole Cathey.
