A poem

Lola — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 07:09:44 GMT

Sizzle &Fizzle I thought we made love. Now I know you just fucked me. I gave up my celibacy for you. Sizzle and fizzle I was in a delusion seeing an illusion. I thought, because we spent Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas day, I would be your valentine. Your oil, I’m water Party is your middle name You kiss me like my name is casual You hug me goodbye doing a 360 with your eyes This is my hood too. I do not walk in back doors I walk on red carpet I thought because you spent time with me You cared. Then I remembered you don’t have a house key Sizzle and fizzle Lola Shalom February 26,2007

a poem

Lola — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 19:39:47 GMT

In The Valley of the Shadow.. I know at times I am not a day at the beach I have traveled through loops of sun and fog with you thirsty Ending up in a dry “life-less” desert Looking at a mirage written on my birthday december 28..... by Lola Shalom

clean sheets

Lola — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 06:13:58 GMT

CleanSheets I washed the sheets we made love on today... pausing Inhaling the smell of your come and my wetness Slowly pouring detergent as if I was anointing a spirit I am still dripping you from me You’re easy on my eyes Hours fly by with sweet simplicity Your body moves like a fish in water You love me hard, you love me soft I return to my bed of soft feathers, missing the warmth of your body your brown skin shimmers against the full moon your hair smelling of shey butter and herbs, brings me close into your hips My legs wrapped around you like a perfectly made bow No destination only now To pleasure my self-dreaming of you... By Lola shalom Thanksgiving 2006

CENSORED POEM in tribe ELyseum Sexy and Sublime

Lola — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 03:24:38 GMT

Symmetry In Repose 1994 I would love to have Your “CENSORED "in my mouth seeing that you have symmetry My weakness is BALANCE and your “CENSORED “ is perfect in every dimension I rest you on my cerebral scale The weight is too great upon my shoulders Your a memory of my past I have not forgotten you Nor Do I want to relive One night stands Smoke filled rooms empty eyes Too high to see my reality Only wanting love Lola Shalom

X-RATED

Lola — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 20:54:58 GMT

X Rated Once again I am misunderstood.... Tribe is feeling like the pope runs the show Are we going backward in time? How can that be? Tribe trashed my x rated poem I guess we now have a grade system like a movie.... I can't believe this I am now rated as a poet I wish Larry Flint would get his teeth into this.... Where is the A.C.L.U? I had a poem posted on this tribe I mentioned the word C... In my mouth I think they must have a C...scanner I really like to be raw in my work not held back I was so proud to post a poem for the first time on line I have shocked and even offended people with my work Not that I give a Damm This is really being kicked to the curb with my poem in my hand I must say I have seen photos on Tribe that have made me go damm I never new shit like that went down but I was curious does that make me X-rated also because I looked, I peeped like a tomcat I believe like they say in the Program "Take What You Want and Leave the Rest Behind".......... And on that note tribe Can kiss my sweet Ass...
