Purposefully Blind

June 29, 2018 Dominica Bolden

Don’t pretend to be obtuse
blinded by your own special blend of selfishness
Unable to admit to the ability to see my pain
See the scarring etched into my soul
Because it would be just excruciating for you

Prompt: Obtuse

Mistress and Missus

May 29, 2018 Dominica Bolden

Both were a thoughtful purchase
Bought for a specific purpose
Akin to property
Subject to his whim
Neither with a choice
One is the immoral mistress
The other is his respectable missus

Daily Prompt: Juxtapose

She found herself to be
Little more than cattle
Ready for sale to the highest bidder
The ceremony only a formality
If only such an archaic practice
Could be banned

Daily Prompt: Ceremony

When You Rebel Against Society

May 11, 2018 Dominica Bolden

Sweet words filled with love
Are slowly drowned out
And cracks begin to form
When the uniform you’re expected to wear doesn’t fit
Because the mold isn’t truly one size fits all
And disdain becomes apparent
With time comes the truth
And Society reveals their true face

Daily Prompt: Rebel

Society says

May 7, 2018May 7, 2018 Dominica Bolden

We cannot be boastful
Strutting about
As colorful peacocks
Fanning our tail feathers
Seducing the captivated audience

Flaunting individuality
Having a personality
Cannot be allowed
To fit their mold
We must bleach our feathers
Trim them to size

Daily Prompt: flaunt

The song of her soul was bewitching
She cast out her spell like a net
Ensnaring helpless souls

Picking up roots

Courage comes easy

I love you
Hazel eyes narrow
Suspicion looming overhead
The reaction involuntary
A compulsory response
Everything has strings firmly attached

Thoughts on Repeat

February 8, 2018 Dominica Bolden

You should have—
thoughts in my mind
forever on repeat
drawing me into an endless waltz
You should have—
it’s almost like a broken record
with an overwhelming thrum
threatening to drowning me
You should have—

Daily Prompt: Tend
