Bedside Tale

 


So, you think just because you slept around,
Twelve women deep to prove your masculinity,
You can shame a woman?
Boasting— at least you’re not a virgin?
Tapping a woman just to show you’re a man?

I guess you skipped chapters in decency and biology.
There is no pride in that—be it man or woman.
And yet, you preach about being the good guy?

Would your blood still boil if your sister was left high and dry?
Or would you blame her—she should have built a home?
Do you think real women are pornstars?

The audacity of men like you,
Trying to explain a woman’s body to herself.
Is your mother still teaching you this?
That girl seduced you, enchanted you—for your money?
Like seriously? If that were true,
Even Fiona wouldn’t have been with the Ogre.

You want feminine women, yet ask, do you like to touch yourself?
Your mother warned you of gold diggers,
But forgot to teach you respect for someone’s daughter?

Spare your lectures when it comes to me,
I was standing up for other girls—
Against the creeps who tried to snag a picture
Even when I was just a teen.
Against men ogling at women,
Even while holy dipping,
When I was only a child.

So your labels—crazy, psycho, nutjob?
They won’t stick to me.
Try all you want,
But you’ll never shut my voice.

The Spotted Cucumber

  One fine day, tired of "always my way," I reached for comfort, or maybe just a craving. Picked up a spotted cucumber— Seemed harmless enough, so why not? But the moment I touched it, it pricked. Unwanted timber in my hands, Yet I let it be—what else could I do? Hunger led me to peel its layers, Only to find the filth it hid underneath. Worms writhing where freshness should be, Rot, disguised as something nourishing. I thought it was doing me a favor, But all it did was make me sick. Never knew comfort could leave such a taste— Bitter enough to spill my guts out. Next time, I’d rather reach for something rich, Something warm, indulgent, and worth my time. A smooth, chocolaty éclair— Rather than ever go for such a comfortable, unhealthy affair.

Us Two

  As the hands struck two… Can you feel my hands on you? The power of the universe with just us two I am so into you. Who’s counting the minutes? Only we know what we brew. Even if the world fades to dark, We shine brighter in our spark. Your lips brush my nape, Undoing the shyness of my drapes. As your fingertips trace me, I melt like that slice of brie.

Temptress

  I wanna be your temptress, Get you down on my mattress. You be the king, I'll be your empress. I already have a clear purpose, You can trace every curve and surface. I've got one mission for you— Are you built for the secret service? Let me take a bite of that apple, Can you make me pray without taking me to the chapel? They call me a wolf, but I will bear your saddle, Make me howl like the moon's lone disciple. Either play this like a boring game of Scrabble, Or get your armor on and be ready for a passionate battle.
