so much love
so much hate
shards of hope
found way too late
longing to be free
behind a locked gate
no one there
to appreciate
you help them breathe
as you suffocate
do what they say
even as they violate
you grin and bear it
as they invalidate
they penetrate
you dissociate
d i s s i p a t e
who are they to dictate
you retaliate
they tolerate
e l i m i n a t e
but say “liberate”
they sedate
you say
these rights are innate
how dare you call this
fate

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
