Poetry - Double Standards

She cries, she's too sensitive.

She gets angry, she's dramatic.

She speaks her mind she' a bitch.

She shares her feelings, yet there are still those who don’t care to understand.

 

Be more like a man, but work twice as hard.

Once she’s the boss, rumors flutter through.

Yet when she stays quiet, she gets overlooked.

 

Constant awareness of her surroundings, makes her paranoid.

Not paying attention, she becomes victim, and then she's the one to blame.

 

Dresses fashionably, she's too into her looks.

Dresses in something that makes her feel confident and sexy, she's told she's asking for the hook.

She covers up, and she's a prude,

There’s no winning in her wardrobe.

 

Double standards is a thing of the past?

Ask any woman, and it continues to be a daily fact.

 

Come together, both woman and man,

We must stand as one,

For equal rights no matter what the sex/gender outcome.

Poetry - Heart On My Sleeve

I love deep.

I fall hard.

I’m the one to go above and beyond.


Away,

And close,

No matter how high.

I know you’re the one I can’t let pass me by.


It took a while for me to see.

But you truly are the prince I dream.

Late at night, in the dead of silence,

I think of you in the cadence of brightness.


You fill my heart with joy,

And that I can’t ignore,

Because you are the one I’ve been craving for.

Poetry - Sweetness

Thoughts of the softest touch,

Such as a lovers kiss.

A touch so sweet, sends my whole body into bliss.

 

Honey's sweet,

but you are too, 

I can never get enough of you. 

 

Nectar drips from my lips,

I let it consume, 

For I never what to be rid of the taste...

Of you.
