Pass me the bottle
Let me see what’s inside
Take a shot from the bottle
On a roller coaster ride.
Pass me the bottle
Let me see what’s inside
Another shot from the bottle
On that roller coaster ride.
Pass me the bottle
Let me see what’s inside
I think I’m looking for myself
For what I’ve been denied.
So I climbed on the bottle

To Forget
Pass me the bottle
Let me see what’s inside
Take a shot from the bottle
On a roller coaster ride.
Pass me the bottle
Let me see what’s inside
Another shot from the bottle
On that roller coaster ride.
Pass me the bottle
Let me see what’s inside
I think I’m looking for myself
For what I’ve been denied.
So I climbed on the bottle

Rage, contempt, disgust, revulsion
Distaste, repulsion, dry retching
Dissension –
Among the ranks.
Lying, spying, crying, CRASH –
Down, down to the bottom
Where my womanhood lurks;
Frightened,
Tightened,
Chastened,
Fastened:
By deception.
Tears, drops, water, blood, flesh
Touched upon –
Bitten,
Riven,
Aside, beside, astride,
Your manhood takes, takes, takes
CRASH –
Down, down to the bottom
Where my womanhood lurks;
Unvoiced,
Unheard,
Absurd,
Referred to:
As pussy, cunt, CRASH –
Down, down at the bottom
Where nothing now … Continue reading the story "Loss of Self"Do Not Think
Do not think for a moment that you can shed me like a skin, that you will emerge all shiny and reborn on the other side of me.
Do not think for a moment that you can trespass in my pleasure and remain pure unstained.
Do not think for a moment that my pleasure is restrained … Continue reading the story "Do Not Think"Mistaken Identity
Eyes closed.
My lonely mind drowns in this infinite black sea,
Poisonous clouds closing in, slowly, choking me.
A gun to my head,
An unexpected surprise,
Just one bullet begging to embrace me,
Silently hoping my soul and spirit would flee.
I'm on my knees thinking of what to do,
Why does this seem like dejavu?
Skeletons in my closet forcing their way … Continue reading the story "Mistaken Identity"That You Exist
That you exist not for pain or for pleasure
but quiet contentment
where mind loses resentment
in anticipation of tomorrow and the fruits she may bring
That you exist not for ache nor for need
But for bubbles and butterflies
Cheeky glances and stolen smiles
And a childlike love for each moment
That you exist in each second
Of each minute of each hour
Where … Continue reading the story "That You Exist"Do Not Think

Is the Devil in my head,
Or is the Devil in my bed?
I tried to sleep
But the biggest Devil said:
He’s gonna fuck you over,
He’ll take you for a ride
He’s a man with a menu
And his order on the side!
Is the Devil in my head,
Or is the Devil in my bed?
I started to cry
And an Angel said:
He loves … Continue reading the story "The Devil, The Angel And I"Shades of Pale
Shades of pale
Seep and sink
Into bright stark bright
And if the shade should fall or fail
Rescue me from the darkest light.
Shades of pale
Ebb and flow
Into an ocean of quiet
Pain strikes like a driven nail
The waves begin to foam a riot.
Shades of pale
Bare your soul to me
A brighter shade than grey
Before you turn and flee.
***
You Never Looked
You never looked before you leapt,
You never looked before you slept, with me.
And now there is now we,
Just me,
Alone, confused and sad
Not knowing what we could’ve had.
You never looked before you leapt,
You never looked before you slept, with me.

I wish I could state the facts
Identify broken pacts
Open up ancient tracts
And rewrite them
I wish I could taste your skin
Identify your sin
Open up your kin
And know them
I wish I could lay you bare
Identify your care
Open up your share
And claim them
I wish I could embrace your heart
Identify the start
Open up the part
That cleans me, knows me, claims … Continue reading the story "Laying Claim"
