An angel to behold
Beauty in simplicity of movement
Compels hearts to fall aflutter,
Docile and domestic creature
Everything but no one-
For Heaven's Sake
Give him a smile girl!
Happiness does the body good
If only saved for him-
Join his antics with ease
Kiss his feet,
Love his bitter edges unconditionally
Maybe he'll return the favor-
Never question the ideals
Outbursts are frowned upon
Praise his every move
Quiet your voice and spirit,
Raise him high
Servitude is your only goal-
Temptation is not yours
Unheard of desires in woman!
Voices break upon glass ceiling
Womankind must bend-
Xeno loves the only hope ahead
Your expectations be dashed!
Zestful future no more only maid's work.

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.

Never let him see or know the truth--he's not in control & you are not his possession.
Lovely poetry, Katrina!
