I want to draw you

Memorize the contours of your face

Sketch the intricate lines of your eyes

Your nose, your mouth, that jawline

That draws me in, every time I’m near you

I want to erase the worry,

And replace the doubt

With the delicate strokes of my hands

the mountain cries,

tears of tomorrow

filling the emptiness

with briny waters

sating a thirsty Earth

where man dare only look

upon her sacred ground

unwelcome in her paradise

Empty Street ~ #poetry

woman-1879905_960_720
She dyes her hair, paints her face

Dresses to the nines, awaits his embrace

Lipstick, crimson, as red as blood

Skin so soft, like a flower’s bud

Perfumed wrists, her baubles gleam

She prays this night is not a dream

His ravishing smile, her heart skips a beat

She who stands here, alone, on the street

She wonders aloud, “Will he postpone?”

Minutes, hours, no text on her phone

Realizing she’s being used, like a tool

She hangs her head down, feels like a fool

Gets back in her car, as fast as she can

Never again, will she wait, for a man
