Lines
If I drew a line
and you decided where it ends and begins
Will I have to draw another one to continue what I was doing?
If I draw a circle with the ends that touch
you won't be able to tell much
about the curves that add up
Like the curves that are continuous
When we all are the same
Where should I place my creativity?
Next to your divinity
Next to the place
I should sit and show my face
Pretty Face no place for brains
The pretty body no place to build
Indifferent, too different
But the same
in only the ways that cause me to understand
Your existence
Belongs to you
Your existence is a gift to me
Something borrowed
Something new
something dangerous to pursue
that's the beauty that is you
No explanation for the things I care not for
but abuse
It is abuse to ignore anyone's truth
I acknowledge but will not adapt
it belongs to you
like a home visit
I will leave it the way I came
Leaving only my company to be had again
for what should follow my exit
complaints
Please do not complain
but speak the speech
trippingly with your tongue
my gift attention to you
Attention you abuse
my time delicate
yet you refuse to honor what has been given to you
Cut
Cut me down to size
5'4
nothing more than I've earned
Delicate
Overprotective
Like female lions in the lion den
Ready to rip the main off her man if he dears to disturb
Growth
A man's place
Is not to protect her
but to fight beside her
fall back when she is hunting
keep home
home
Protect her when she holds the cub
but if ever he has left to another
she survives
like Simba with his mother
Like Nala becomes
A roar
to accompany
A roar
But in the cave
Her Lionsgate open
and he plays, fights, and takes away her lions Maine
Keeping her lioness
Oh lioness
Lay rest
to the Lion's nest
As freely as my thoughts came
so they went
until
only these words were left
When he exits you are Lion and Lioness
Adding all the things he left behind
To the list of times
You joined the pride
Just to tribe
your love
until it was not yours anymore
Where do your community end and you begin?
Or all is one
better
then I become one with them
but when they are gone
I am the one who must be okay.
Lioness
after you have banished him
Be okay.
