Circle of life



Lustrious
wealthy luxuries
diamants, pearls and gold
nothing can stop her
immense hunger

Empty
inside her
life with no meaning
just going on
hating herself

Men
treating her
like a living doll
she can not
say no

Line
on mirror
hundred dollar biljet
ready to use
white lady

Heart
beating heavily
sexually aroused feelings
mental clarity
open

Senses
passionate again
finding life appealing
ride is over
cold again

Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
