She…
She hears the pronoun,
So profound in sound,
That the skies could open up and smile on Her face.
She hears Her name,
So flawed but divine,
The world could recognize Her grace.
Her? They do not recognize HER.
For she is not the norm.
She wears rainbow ink and body hair proudly on Her arms;
An extra part that shouldn’t be there,
In a “normal” society.
She holds her integrity close to Her mind,
Her values and ethics at the front.
Values that should not make sense,
In a “normal” woman.
She bears Her life partner within Her heart,
Her love within Her soul.
A love that should not exist in a “normal” heart.
Throwing solid words of stone, they greet Her with disdain, saying
“Gross”
“Ugly”
“Freak”
Or “Plain”!
Though the world shall greet Her with weary hearts of coal,
She will light the world a new flame someday,
Inspiring social earthquakes.
Their love will shine freeing light on the wrongs of the truths that lurk within us all.
Knowing thyself is the truest freedom’s call.

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.
