A Women's Burden

Somehow I've stumbled from grace in the eyes of man
iregardless of my sacrifice
despite my salvation
I slit my wrists and bleed.....
self pity
self destruction
self hate
onto his hands
But he doesn't bother to cleanse them
He just digs deeper into my virginity
as I silently bleed some more
While his hands grope for pleasure,
his lips kiss for joy
And I am expected to understand...
why he chose me
I bear his weight
as he shifts
as he strains
as he grow
burying his trouble inside - giving up his load
freely imparting it to me
I often try and cleanse myself through tears
sobbing
cries
only to be expected to recieve
the weight
the load
again...
and again
But now when I bleed
he tells me to clean myself
I'm a mess
and I've got other things to do - for him
Bear his children
Support his goals
Accept his discretions
Abide in his world
I....
I....
I.....seem to have stumbled from grace
in the eyes of man
irregardless of my sacrifice
despite my salvation
And when I slit my wrists and bleed....
self pity
self destruction
self hate
onto his hands
He doesn't bother to cleanse them
He just digs deeper into my loyality
as I silently bleed some more
his hands groping for pleasure
his lips kissing for joy
And I am expected to understand...
why he chose me

Today
I long for peace
Specifically inside
The deep molten core that is me
Yes, once it was solid-
But now it's weak
Crust cracks

Haiku #1

Tis it a wonder
Why women can live longer-
We let more things go

Tanka

Memory

A lost love letter
Found left in an empty drawer
Didn't want to read it-
Compelled to do so anyway
My heart ached; forgot about this one

Abecedarian

The Glass Ceiling

Discouragingly-
Ever conscious of the glass ceiling
Forced to adhere to its boundaries
Gorged on its disparity
Harassed by its abuse
Indoctrinated

Acrostic

Lost

Lying awake staring at closed lids I,
Occasionally wish I could escape life's boundaries; and I
Silently pray that I survive mandind fully intact, so tht I-
Transcend tomorrow, and actually be found free

Palindrome (Mirror image)

Expand

Self explore
And gather, knowledge
-Wisdom is necessary too
Continue to strive
Strive to continue
Too necessary is wisdom
Knowledge, gather and
Explore self

Do You Believe?

I still believe in dreams,
and their driving inspiration

I still believe in family,
and their undying dedication

I still believe in peace,
I know it'll happen to mankind

I still believe in freedom,
and it's positive state of mind

I still believe in love,
and all its enveloping rapture

I still believe in good,
And I rally for evils capture

I still believe in the human spirit,
and its empowering strength

I still believe in nurturing,
and its hours spent

I still believe in knowledge,
and its unwavering power

I still believe in time,
every second, minute and hour

I still believe in justice,
though its fruit we hardly taste

I still believe in trust,
though its potency is at a slow pace

I still believe in friends,
and their unconditional support

I still believe in children,
and the creative expression that they port

I still believe in truth,
although we spend much time telling lies

I still believe in hope,
every time I look into a childs eyes

I still believe we will find the right way,
somehow one day

Poetry Lover

I let poetry fuck me
and damn if it don't quench my desire
I sip from its infinite offerings
And supplicate at its feet

To every part of me, I give it entry
In any way that it please
In the bath
On the floor
Cruching on my knees
And it satisifies.....
Stupefies
No matter how it decides-
To fill me

It is my master
Taking me
Harder
Faster
Into a realm I cannot escape

Is this my faith,
To be Poetry's slave?
Even letting it punish me
When I misbehave

Poetry's got me open
And read from cover to cover
I can't let go-
I'm a Poetry Lover
