ebullience (noun)

ebullience (noun)
bubbling enthusiasm
your passion knows no bounds
i know how cliche it sounds,
but you're the smartest girl around
and soon you'll be world renowned
because of your hard working dedication,
and that sneaky virgo placement
that i know you hate but girl, let's not debate
your ascendant gives you eloquence (noun)
the art of using language in an apt, fluent way
art is an understatement
you create masterpieces with the things you say
how you represent and portray
novels, critics, and plays
in this industry you're here to stay
you're planted
feet firm and strong
with intellectuals is where you belong

your thoughts are not surreptitious (adjective)
kept secret
you speak your mind like a scorpio
a tongue to clash against our leo
through your moon your personality shows
or does it?
so secretive after all
unwavering, unshakeable
unbreakable
is what the world sees of you
my angel you work so hard
and i try see things from your point of view
none of this is new
since you know how much i love you
and any of the hardships you go through
i'm there
my hardworking gemini
the strongest i know
not much longer to go,
my love
until you reach the end of this road
until you're a feminist scholar
known across the globe

you've given me confidence
some ebullience of my own
my capricorn heart may lack emotion but for you
it beats with every endearing word
thank you,
(and i know you kinda love your virgo
really,
i'll keep it secret between you and me)

to the daughters of builders who drive white vans

on the 6am train the men smell like my father; red bull, cigarettes, dried cement - they wake up like my father        i feel safe in this carriage, these men are my father, any man with a van and one arm out the window, sunburnt from the elbow down - the infamous builder’s tan - seats so dusty i can’t breathe and i have lungs like my father, full of second-hand smoke and concrete, a touch of asbestos, i should weep for my father        but  my pockets are healthy i am told by my father whose hands shake as he brings another beer to his lips at 10am on a saturday morning, this is coping for my father        these men cope - cope like my father - with the asbestos lungs, uneven tans, shaking hands, muscles in constant pain, water on the brain, the ever encroaching grasp of old age; with substances up the nose they unwind like my father         this kind of masculinity doesn’t last forever, you know...

i can only write when i am thinking about God

 I can only write when I am thinking about God and sometimes God is God and he loves me, most of the time he does not the hand that feeds me overpowered by teeth that bite he visits me at night like a shark smells blood he smells lust,  guilt, and greed brought to my knees, voice hushed he picks apart my greed and my lust promising to forgive, to forget he will make me repent and regret, any pain or pleasure at his expense provided in selfless restoration a gift of his affections exchanged for endless loyalty  God is not always God, sometimes he is my lover he tells me he loves me,  most of the time he does not I can only write when I am thinking about God

crisis of faith

  and when i meet god   i will ask him why he punished me on earth by denying me the pleasure of being known by anyone other than him intentionally, innately, irrevocably known in a way i could have remained silent forever   whilst always being heard  i will ask him why the world kept spinning as i screamed and spiralled into the sins he’d laid out for me  for me to fumble in my guilt on my knees, raw from repentance and retribution who is to beg for forgiveness now? and i will apologise to my mother  for carrying her burdens in my womb  it was her first time too, on earth longing for something she’d never known  please tell me i did it right, that i made you proud  please tell me i lived how you wanted me to give birth to me again and i’ll try harder would it heal you to see me leave, or would it hurt because you never did  will i see your face one day in the mirror and touch it to feel your skin and i will ask you if you could not love...
