Genevieve Surrender

It is true:
My husband
has never
taken out
...

In all honesty
today has been
something out of the ordinary.
...

This is not a poem about passion
this is not a poem about love
...

For a woman like me
it is improper
to act such things.
...

This is my application

I plan to dazzle
I plan to inspire
...

I'm happy
for you my dear
I put on my happy face
...

Kind Paris
under my feet.

The clack of heels
...

She strutted about in her knickers
yelling maledictions at the passers-by
not caring who would be offended
by such a crude inturpretation
...

Your eyes are the colour of water
but it is completely frozen over
and there is no way into your vision
unless I somehow warm you up first
...

Yo ho, me hearties
A pirate be I.

I swabbin' the deck
...

Mother may I
throw food around
because I am contrary as an infant?
...

I saw you naked
outside my window

you looked cold
...

There is a place that only we know
Where beauty is skewed
Where dew is salty
From our skin
...

Unknown words
flow through my mind
in hopes of reaching
the light at the end
...

In the corner
of the dark hall
leans a silhouette.
...

Ancient Text have this not.
This feeling: never been recorded.
it is not love.
it is not infatuation.
...

We used to watch TV together
ESPN

He would be lying on the floor
...

This is when
my mind goes blank
and all I can do
is write about
...

You've told me to stop smoking
but that was back
when you cared.
...

I've heard
the shores of Sri Lanka
are beautiful.
