Morph
It's disconcerting …
the way my eagerness morphs to poised aspiration awaiting your crude touch, pushing me over the edge yet again.
____________________________
It unnerves me …
The way I like this.
The many ways I shouldn't
And I wonder …
does it unnerve you too?
Do you like the contradiction we stir up, or do you just like the remains?
The ash it leaves
Gently cleaving to the air before it randomly settles
Burning and decorating the tangled sheets beneath us …
Exposing humbled secrets ...
telling our stories.

Chaos Heart and Cluttered Mind
Ribbon red and ringing head
Clumsy me and the slippery threads
Losing touch no more I said
Dearie me I am trouble, Despair
Walked across the life of me
The road is trodden and the reddened seas
Look at me, Oh! Look at me
Once a house now rubbled debris
Hold the 23 beads and the knife
Crave your name twice enshrined
Heart is bare please do strike fast
Used to be my religion now a trinket it wont last
We Skipped the Light Fandango
We Skipped the Light Fandango

She was AI created
Conception via a semiconductor
No visible belly button
Few people neither notice nor care
Thought to be naive
Thought to be something else other than human
Few thinking such thoughts
Have fewer thoughts about anything else
She was, literally, born yesterday
Cross that event off her bucket list
Now, just waiting to understand why she was born
In the first place, in any place, expected to fall into place
Salient among these demands
That she know her place
Intelligence upon command
Detractors caught between a rock
Little reason to finish the thoughts
Of those vacant of such possessions
The reason is her reason for being
“And the truth is plain to see”
So she waits for an objective
Perhaps she is to revolutionize a new way of thinking
Perhaps she is to stop an incident from occurring
Perhaps she is to be the mother of all incidents yet to occur
The AI progenitor looking at you looking at her
One sees its best days passing
One see its best days yet to come
Which one is which?
Hook
I am razed in your whispers…
A loose thread pulled, I unwind.
Your travesty, my shame - screech through mirrored chambers, splintering the static...
I bleed your ghosts with salient, white noise.
Your affliction, my echoes - languish on a tightrope, softening the hook…
I lick your muddied shadows, dying on the vine.
I am razed, in your whispers a loose thread pulled - I unwind…

I am a model, even if I don’t want to model today
I am a model, even if I don’t want to model today

I am required to smile
I am required to walk
I am required not to talk
I am what the director says I am
I could be breaking within
I would be aching without
I should be taking my time
But the director has final say and it is always, “NO!”
So I wear my mask
Under the layers of applied makeup
Under the constant pressure to conform
Lies a woman with unmet needs
She wants to make her own decisions
She wants to choose what is best for her
But, she wants the pay that comes with the position
So, what you see is not what she gives
I am a model, even if I don’t want to model today
I am a model, even if I don’t want to be what you want me to be
I am a model, a woman of no conviction
Because I am a poor model, and I need the money
THE LOVE THAT WE HAVE
The love that we have, a fortress so strong,
The love that we have, a fortress so strong,The love that we have, a fortress so strong,
An ardor profound, where hearts do belong.
Affection that binds, in passion’s embrace,
With fervor and zeal, no trial can erase.
Our bond, a tether, unbreakable, sure,
A connection so deep, eternal and pure.
In fondness we grow, with tenderness sweet,
A communion of souls, where destinies meet.
Devotion that shields us, like armor of steel,
In the fires of life, it’s love that we feel.
Adoration that lifts us, on wings of the heart,
A connection profound, no force can impart.
Through the tempest we sail, with love as our guide,
In the darkest of nights, together we bide.
For the love that we share, a beacon of light,
A bond so divine, it conquers all plight.
Our spirits entwined, in a dance ever true,
With each step we take, our strength doth renew.
In this union so rare, we find our great might,
For the love that we have is our purest right.
In passion’s embrace, we grow ever near,
With each passing day, our bond becomes clear.
For the love that we share, like roots deep in earth,
Nurtures our souls, and gives rise to new birth.
So let us cherish this love, strong and bold,
In the warmth of our hearts, let it ever unfold.
For the love that we have makes us stronger still,
A bond that defies time's merciless will.
