Could it be
that the anger we feel
towards life
is a knowing in our spirit
telling us
that all is not right…?
You rape and
Pillage. Storm my very
Heart! What is it you
Want from me? Is it my
Pound of flesh? I gave that
Eon’s back… You are
Never satisfied. No matter
That I give all I

Shy and curious at first. But as

Reflection understood it was
Sorrow who held the

Yes, I will undress for you,
Each garment slowly tossed aside,
And yes, I will confess to you
My wanting, without guilt or pride.
I were so very patient as
i slowely ran my toes along
