Go Ahead Do Your Absolute Best
You’ll soon learn she cannot be destroyed
Try my friend, go ahead do your absolute best
Before you do there’s things you should know,
Listen very carefully, before you do attack her
Fling that mud but make sure it’s a good throw.
***
I don’t think you realise just how tough she is
She has been built to take your shit, you’ll see,
It’s just part of her day, a storm she laughs at
You see strong winds, she sees a slight breeze.
***
If she can defeat her demons, you’ve no chance
She’s stronger than those little devils these days,
So please go ahead, give it your very best shot
I’m amused at the thought of the things she’ll say.
***
You’re taking on a woman who has seen it all
She’s been cheated on, beaten on and flayed,
Stabbed in the back and taken advantage of
Left crying on the floor after she’s been played.
***
Her name has been dragged through the mud
On numerous occasions, not just once or twice,
She picks it on up and cleans it off once again
Smiling at you, making you believe she'll be nice.
***
She has lead a solo existence, through her pain
And has faced the worst of her moments alone,
That’s a reminder to you, that she is self made
Think carefully before you enter the enemy zone.
***
She may have struggled a time or two, broken
But it faired her well and she’s now built for war,
Pain has shaped her into a worthy adversary
As she heaves her troubles into a cloak she wore.
***
Again I’ll forewarn you, please think carefully
Choosing to take her on, will be no minor spat,
It’ll be a full on bloody battle, a long lasting war
Because you cannot destroy a woman like that!

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
