ROOTS AND WINGS

I thought that wings would help me fly

Would help me sail the world

But all they did was teach me how to fall

Was teach me to walk and stay on earth.

I need roots with wild streaks to keep me in line.

I can’t keep up with winged streaks

I just keep falling behind.

I cannot fly before I walk.

I cannot walk without a thought

To that which I’m walking on.

In time my roots will let me grow wings.

In time I can do anything.

Thinking Queen

Alone with myself

Thinking many thoughts of you

Memories don’t fade.

Ask who you might be

The response I am the Queen.

How could you not know?

Intimidating Lady

Intimidating
You seem to see me this way

Your viewpoint is skewed.

Notice who I am

Intimidating’s not me

See the one who’s here.

I am a lady. 

A gentleman’s still a man.

Roles should be observed.

THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THE STORM

It’s wet and cold, it’s dreary and dark.

The lightening flashes an evil spark.

The thunder roars with a lion’s temper.

The raindrops fall in tempo.

The storm is approaching little by little

It takes it’s own sweet time.

The storm is coming it’s gradually coming

To keep the world in darkness.

It’s wet and cold dark and dreary;

It’s coming to blot out the sun.

There’s no way to stop it,

There’s no place to run

The storm will Always find you.

It has no shape.

It has no form.

It’ll come at anytime.

The storm is approaching the young and the old

It doesn’t matter who you are.

It’s coming to find you. It always will.

It’s coming to take you. It always does.

Its fury will find you and take you away;

There is no resistance that you can use

It takes you and then-

Believe in Yourself

"We are all mad here."

The Cheshire Cat says

as he disappears.

Anger, Confusion, and Eccentricity

All that and more

your personal identity.

"We are all mad here."

The Cheshire Cat says

as he reappears.

Laughter, Love, Hope and Serenity

All this and more

your personal identity.

"We are all mad here."

The Cheshire Cat says

as he holds back tears.

Tears of Laughter.

Tears of Joy.

Silent tears filled with noise.

Believe in yourself

Or fade away

Listen child to what I say.

"We are All mad here."

"We Are all mad here."

"We are all mad Here."

Essence of Woman

To quote Maya, "Still I rise."

Rubenesque, Zaftig and Queen size

Voluptuous Goddess of Fertility,

Essence of Woman

That's ME!

Dangerous Curves;

Caution Don't Swerve.

I AM

I am a free spirit with no definite direction.

I go wherever the wind blows.

I play by my own set of rules.

I’ve no definite meaning.

No definite form.

I go as I please.

I am as I am.

I’m nothing to no one.

Everything to some.

It’s easy to tell you,

But difficult to see.

I am a free spirit

Living and doing whatever I please.
