Poem: "She and Him"

"She and Him"

She:

I am more than just a pretty face
arms, long legs
and a vagina

You make me ache so bad
it hurts to cross my legs
dust off your lust
from the corner shelf

Oh baby, I know you will
do it, right here and now
invade my private space
with your dirty thoughts
longing to leak out

Him:

Bated breath in my chest
as the moon illuminates
your perfect nakedness
warmth against mine

The world falls away
as inhibition fades
the discourse of
passionate surrender
envelops the silence
overtaking the roaring
of the neglected tides
of ambivalent Fate.

Poem: "Goodbye"

"Goodbye"

You take
and take
with selfish hands
and harsh words

Cutting my heart out
as I bleed
slumped on the floor
body fading

All the forgotten time
is gone now
like the silent wind
rustling the leaves

As the white wolf howls
the door creaks open
and life rushes out of me

Like a lover scorned
the laughter escapes from
within as I exhale
one defiant last breath
middle finger raised

Farewell
my favorite mistake
goodbye.
