  • Madame X

    Madame X

    While lying in bed

    scrolling down,

    a concentrated frown.

    Voices barking at her,

    expounding loud.

    Fight through the crowd.

    Bits and pieces.

    Fragments. Opinions.

    The Minions

    telling her what she should do,

    as if she didn’t have a clue.

    How to iron out the wrinkles,

    expunge the weight,

    be positive,

    meditate,

    “What Gen are you?”

    They call her X.

    She likes that.

    “Madame X.”

    She smiles and twiddles her toes,

    stretching into a pose.

    Time to get up.

    Make her mark,

    using her own special spark.

    A cross.

    An X.

    Her flex.

    Her call.

    Who is she?


    She’s,

    Mme X

  • She walks a fine line

    A fine Line

    She walks a fine line 

    between the 

    past _________and _________now 

    carrying her bag

    her history 

    her mystery

    her careful secret

    no one leaked it

    a shroud

    a cloud

    a dark figure

    a smoking mirror

    she can’t bear to look

    in the dark corner. . .

    still there 

    she’s well aware

    not forgotten 

    coz it smells rotten.

    She walks a fine line

    between hell_________and _________the divine

    and you would never know 

    she’s giving you a show 

    here she comes now_______________

                ready to take her

  • Supernova

    Supernova

    I’m a supernova 

    revving up to move ya.

    Done my time, 

    paid the fine,

    I’m a supernova!

    Don’t tell me that it’s over,

    your narrow mind,

    shut up and blind,

    I’m a supernova,

    Look up,

    I’m there, in the sky. . .

    you can’t deny that 

    I’m a supernova!

    You’re warmly invited to listen to Supernova and explore more music, poetry, and creative reflections from the evolving journey of I am Maria! here on the blog.
