Heel - the low, the servant 

Quick to please for rising up

Through the ranks is important. 

Hip - the crucial joint joining

Top and bottom. Dedicated to keeping things held together. 

Hand - the one willing to do

What is necessary. For good or nil. 

No questions asked. 

Heart - as close as close can be. 

Treasured. Loved. Protected. 

Adored. 

Head - the one who controls it all 

And does whatever she

Damn well pleases. 

Exist

It seems I exist. 

But in a self-contained world 

I can create whatever truth suits me. 

But do I truly exist 

Until someone else thinks about me? 

Do their thoughts bring me to life? 

Do their longings put breath in my lungs? 

Do their wishes create the spark 

That is my soul? 

And how do I exist without you?

Beautiful girl

Windswept girl

Brush the hair from your eyes

And don't be afraid 

To let the world see

What I do. 

Stunning girl

Dancing girl 

I'll hold your hand

While you share your smile. 

It brightens your eyes 

And highlights your soul.

The beauty resides within.

Thrown

The last glass of wine

Downed

Dead silent 

Save the crackle of fire

No point looking at the time

Darkness tells the story

Speaks the truth

I look at the mantle

People in stone homes

Shouldn't throw glass.  

Drive

Inspiration 

The Muse

It drives you

Joy

Sadness

Loss

Gain

The flash of knowledge 

Back in the Garden 

Realizing you'd been naked all along. 

Circus

Straight faced

Straight laced 

Corset pinches at the waist. 

Make up on

Tears all gone 

Never let them know what's wrong.

High heel

Book deal

Hiding what you really feel. 

Spotlight

Long night

Chin up. It will be alright. 

Unwanted

Hideous creatures.

Ugly distorted bodies. 

Fanged teeth and yellowed claws.

Unloved.

Cast out.

Rejected.

They hunch over muddied earth

And glare hatefully at each other. 

They hiss and shriek when someone

Gets too close anymore. 

And I will feel right at home.
