"Live In Peace"

Live In Peace

You wound me with your words - dirty

You scathe me with your unknowing attacks - stupid

I need something you do not understand - knowledge

I need something you cannot give - love

My mind and soul are not yours - to decide

My body is not yours - to cage – to ignore

I was never something you - should give away

I am something you should have thought about

I am a rabbit - a ten year commitment

I am something to love and embrace

I live - I die - I want to do so in peace

"Window"

WINDOW

Sitting in my room

Staring out my window

Condensation falls past my eyes

Down through my own perspective

Such compassion and understanding

I can’t help but feel the same

Bring me warmth

Bring me comfort

Protect me from the cold swiftness

That lurks outside my room

Just outside my window

Through the glory of my days

Through the frosty cold stare of my nights

Open wide

When all darkness passes

Body warmed by a womb

Of comfort and pleasure

Soul soothed by the protection you give

Sitting in my room

Staring out my window
