POETRY
Go home, little girl
Mimi Tsiane
Hey little girl only 14 in your high school uniform
Shame little girl, those men with the high class beamers
Hey little girl the world is your oyster
Wait little girl he doesn’t love you; he loves only your innocent youth.
Hey little girl what’s that on your finger
No ring little girl, you are only a passing fling.
Hey little girl tell him your dreams
You are his trophy little girl, pretty smile, pretty face
Hey little girl go live your life
His life is complete little girl, yours hasn’t even begun
Hey little girl its 4 o’clock in the morning
Go home little girl, go home.
POETRY
Chasing Lost Dreams
She is the love of his life
The woman I am not and can never be
He speaks only of her
She is kind and considerate.
An angel among a world of whores
His happiness belongs to her,
She is the nurturer of his seed
But still he betrays her with his body.
He listens and understands only her.
She gives unconditionally
He pierces my soul with hurtful words.
He smiles only through her.
She shares our bed, our union
I feast on her body, his body, on one entity.
His body is ignited only by her
She is a source of his joy
Her breath, her scent, I still taste her on him.
He dreams only of her.
POETRY
Through His Eyes / Through My Eyes
Through His Eyes
I am a wounded bird
Devoid of strength and reasoning.
I am a timid mouse.
Aimlessly searching for answers.
I am a staggering cow
Stumbling restlessly in the dark
I am a dying swan
Long forgotten and engulfed in misery.
I am a trapped moth
Fearful and timidly waiting for release.
I am an angry beast
Lurking behind lost dreams.
I am a frightened doe
Docile and immersed in sorrow.
Through My Eyes
I am a soaring sparrow.
Piercing the dark cloud that is life.
I am a powerful lion
Strutting confidently.
I am a singing hummingbird.
Reaching and aiming high for my goals
I am a dancing peacock
Embracing all that is beautiful
I am a radiant butterfly
Flying freely through the darkness.
I am an engaging black panther
Confident in my pursuit for knowledge
I am a conniving vixen
Cleverly
manipulating all that is around.
