Poetry by La Femme Lolita

 
In The Wastelands
Dry.....
Winds.....
No water
Chapped Lips
Wondering.....
Wandering.....
through the vast emptiness
of the desert wastelands
Illusions.....
Hallucinations.....
The soulless bodies walking past
Never seeing.....
Never touching.....
the vast emptiness
of the desert wastelands
The voices in your head
The personalities bickering
amongst themselves
You just stand
and listen
Without hearing
in the vast emptiness
of the desert wastelands
The chilling heat
The burning cold
Mixes as one
and the sting of the scorpion
Just adds to the peace
in the vast emptiness
of the desert wastelands
La Femme Lolita

Lost
Light Your Candles
Inhale your smoke
Reclaim my lips
and feel your need
We are just prisoners
Caught in our desires
Through all the fog
and the wine
I can barely see
the real you
or find
the real me
and I can't even remember
when it began
or if
it really had an end
Now we just wander
Thru the days and nights
Hoping we find
each other
and now my eyes
are so tired
and my mind
is so heavy
I think
I'll just
close my eyes
and sleep
forever
 
(c)1998
 
Lover of Illusion
The door slowly opens
and with a motion of ease
     you walk in
Out of the past
a flood of memories
     come haunting again
For so long
the void had been hollow
     like a cloud in the sky
The nightwind
had you to follow
     while water filled my eyes
Are you returning
just as it seems
to put me
     in a state of confusion,
Or is all of this
just a dream
and you
     my lover of illusion?
(c)1982
 
 
The Price
 
Have I paid the price?
Have I given up my soul?
Given in.......to the darkness
I can't breathe ~ no air
My head is pulsing
the adrenaline all consuming
as the wounded lament below
The blood chasing through my veins
I can't keep up
It's all too fast
as my body begins to tremble inside
Teeth clenched, muscles tighten
the evil is released
the addiction of that feeling ~
of the blood
.......on my hands
Out of control
the rush of victory
the fear of defeat
Out of control
The face in the mirror cries out....
Who are you?
It's all illusionary....
Where are you?
What has become of the price I paid?
and Where has it gone to?
We all have a price to pay
Everyday

The Other Side of The Price
I see you evolve
I watch the change
.......come over you
Over your body
.......over your face
and I watch as the demon
.......emerges upon you
as it steals you from me
and I wonder as to my options
How do I rescue you
.......retrieve you
>From your past
.......from your nightmare
..............from my fear
I see
I watch in horror
as your past comes over
Seeing the possession overtake you
as the demon consumes you
I don't know you
I don't know who you've become
Do you even remember me?
I see
But I don't know you
I hear
But I don't understand you
I want
But you close me out
I need
But you push me away
So am I to be
a victim as well
of your world gone mad?
the stench
the ashes
that take you back
that take me forward
to your past
Where I never wanted to go
Where you never wanted to return
Just stop
Look at me
and not passed me
and hear my words
Feel my heart
Coming at you
Breaking in front of you
Release your demon to me
.......for me
and whatever happens
We'll walk down that road
.......together

Your Eyes
Yes
I remember
I look back
and I remember
That night
Your eyes
Low lights
Those lines
Your eyes
the sparkle of wine
Your eyes
never enough time
Even though I strain
I still can't remember your name
but I do remember
your eyes
your eyes
a cool breeze
and your soft smile
and easy rain
just stay while
Do you ever look back
Do you remember
That night
My name
Low lights
the gentle rain
Could you hear my heart
when I looked into your eyes
beating faster ~ yes
     it was to my surprise
It took me off guard
and out of control
your eyes
and their entrancing hold
Did it have to end
Did you have to leave
even though.....
we both.....
had somewhere.....
else to be
I can still
see you sitting next to me
Your dark hair
Your dark eyes
your eyes
Your eyes
Our conversation
Your eyes
My destination
Yes
I remember
to this day
I still remember
That night
Your eyes
Low lights
Those lines
 filled
 with
your eyes
Your eyes
 
(c)1987
 
 
Your Touch
It's been so long
Since I felt
     the warmth of your arms
Your touch still lingers on me
but it didn't have meaning anymore
You shut me out
You brought someone else in
I waited
I wanted
I needed you
It's not easy to be with someone else
When all I remember is being with you
Clothes falling to the floor
Lights fading low
Sometimes I forget
Sometimes I remember
the sound of your voice
the feel of your breath
but your touch
    still lingers on me
(c)1989
