32 A.D.

Faults, flaws and all I like the evolution I’ve been through.

No longer processing,

Fully in my convalescence.

Let Them Eat Cake

I will march no more.

My people have suffered since this country’s inception…

The ancestors being dragged onto this wretched shore.

I welcome violence,

luxuriate in the bloodshed,

Hope my oppressors are filled with dread.

Thunder

The way the music pounds,

Vibrates within my body,

Caresses me as a lover would.

…I feel the rain coming.

Strawberry Cheesecake

Rich and sweet,

That’s what eludes me.

Darkness and bitterness are what consumes me.

It shouldn’t be this way.

I should have a say in the divine.

Desire and duty always war within me.

…America

laughed at me.

Hissed, tried to lure me.

I’ve dived into her deep abyss before.

It’d be hours, weeks, days until I’d come ashore.

I’d try anything to not become this land’s whore.

Sable

I stand transfixed by your movements.

Paralyzed with the thought of discovery.

Something This Way Blows…

It seems my time in purgatory has come to an end.

I’m drained, weak, and don’t know if I’m on the mend.

Am I human?

-N

Perspicacious

Of my time.

No longer tolerant of wasting anything that’s mine.

I need more than a tingling of the spine.

Take a seat, as I sip this wine.

Pink Blossom

My secret lies within the flower.

Hidden amongst rolling hills, and endless sorrow.

Thursday

I can’t share my thoughts.

Sometimes I feel ashamed of my carnal desires.

I smile to hide the tears,

I laugh to ignore the fears.
