    Seed Guzzler Part Deux: Ode to An Inebriated Enchantress by Melodie Yvonne

    Gettin’ dressed up for a night on the town
    Makin real sure boobs hang outta her gown
    Slatherin’ makeup on big bright doe eyes
    Remove that concealer you’ll get a surprise

    Hiding her horns with tentacle arms
    that wave with medusa-like seductive charms
    She’s got the look, but talks not her skill
    Personality free, but her mouth pays the bills

    Struttin’ around like slutty the fox
    This girl sure can gurgle a gaggle of cocks
    She’ll clamp right on quick with teeth filled vagina
    and once she tastes blood she’ll always find ya

    One’s not enough she’s got vents and two hands
    Fillin’ her pockets not sharing with friends
    Bendin’ her elbows and not long she’s sober
    She pulls back her beef curtains then she bends over

    Hiding her horns with tentacle arms
    that wave with medusa-like seductive charms
    She’s got the look, but talks not her skill
    Personality free, but her mouth pays the bills

    Selfish she lays like a dead fish while fucking
    You’ll try to pull out once she starts soul sucking
    but if you stay still and real quiet like a mouse
    you’ll hear her soul whisper, “Look my boobs are out!”

    Try not to look or again you’re a goner
    She’ll bat her lashes ‘til you want her longer
    Then you succumb and she’ll always forgive you
    and you’ll bring more flesh for her teeth to sink into

  • Jeffrey’s Pipe Dream

    Jeffrey’s Pipe Dream

    Originally published online Nov 5, 2016 & in the print collection Photographic Memories: The Neverending Sequel — available here

    Jeffrey’s Pipe Dream by Melodie Yvonne

    This is fucking real, and this is fucking happening
    These our lives that matter, and it’s time we stood for something
    Underpaid to fight the good fight, trying to make a difference
    Let go your thoughts, look in my eyes, lay back, and take a listen

    Looking at Dakota’s pipeline
    It’s a pipe dream, but it’s night-time
    Looking at it from a wrong mind
    Sacrilegious dogs feed primetime

    Politics and corporate greed
    quickly get us nowhere free
    Blindly dig themselves up something
    Eat our souls just like The Nothing

    This is fucking real, and this is fucking happening
    These our lives that matter, and it’s time we stood for something
    Underpaid to fight the good fight, trying to make a difference
    Let go your thoughts, look in my eyes, lay back, and take a listen

    Government blind to the natives
    Squawking pigs don’t represent us
    Taking land with brute armed forces
    Tyranny empire enforcers

    Hollywood paid to be faithful
    My words may not be so graceful
    But I’ll make one kind of difference
    With my free speech groove deliverance

    This is fucking real, and this is fucking happening
    These our lives that matter, and it’s time we stood for something
    Underpaid to fight the good fight, trying to make a difference
    Use my grooves to save what’s right, and wipe away the ignorance

  • Blue Dream Eyes

    Blue Dream Eyes

    Originally published online Oct 23, 2016 & in the print collection Photographic Memories: The Neverending Sequel — available here

    Blue Dream Eyes by Melodie Yvonne

    Being tethered to you makes my soul want to vomit
    Sooner punch you than text you if I’m to be honest
    I’m sick of you lookin’ like you got a problem
    That’s a good way to get me to step up and solve it

    I need you more now than I needed you truly
    Without your blue dream eyes I get unruly
    If your eyes will still hold me I’ll still be your friend
    I’ll be lucky or screwed by your draw in my end

    I’ve given you chances that you threw away
    So suck up those eyes ’cause I’m not gonna play
    All that I wanted was being inside you
    but coveting eyeballs got lids that I outgrew

    I need you more now than I needed you truly
    Without your blue dream eyes I get unruly
    If your eyes will still me hold I’ll still be your friend
    I’ll be lucky or screwed by your draw in my end

    Now move it along, you’ve chosen your path
    I hope what you found is a love that’ll last
    ‘Cause I think I’m done as a hopeless romantic
    and all my ridiculous amorous antics

    I need you more now than I needed you truly
    Without your blue dream eyes I get unruly
    If your eyes will still hold me I’ll still be your friend
    I’ll be lucky or screwed by your draw in my end

  • I Don’t Wanna Go

    I Don’t Wanna Go

    Originally published online Oct 16, 2016 & in the print collection Photographic Memories: The Neverending Sequel — available here

    I Don’t Wanna Go by Melodie Yvonne

    I don’t wanna go inside today
    I wanna stay in the sun and play
    I’m done with all these skeevy people
    Using me so they will reap well

    Helping me but only half-assed
    Passive fiends all seem so harmless
    So I’m gonna stay outside
    No one says I go says I

    I don’t wanna go outside today
    I don’t wanna go in the sun’s harsh rays
    Burning through me like a hot knife
    Ending me through my blue eye’s life

    Leaving me out all exposed
    He’s gonna see my ducks unrowed
    I feel like I should run and hide now
    His eyes see inside me somehow

    I don’t wanna live my life today
    My insides toxic, stay away
    I’m done with all these secret glances
    Puking vibes and making messes

    Showing me for who I am
    Just a frightened slaughtered lamb
    Slipping on a fine wolf coat
    ‘Cause right on back inside I go

    I don’t wanna go inside today
    I don’t wanna go outside today
    I don’t wanna live my life today
    I don’t wanna go inside today

  • Meticulous Ridiculous

    Meticulous Ridiculous

    Originally published online Oct 8, 2016 & in the print collection Photographic Memories: The Neverending Sequel — available here

    Meticulous Ridiculous by Melodie Yvonne

    I know I’m quite ridiculous
    but really I’m meticulous
    ‘bout all the little things I do to please you

    And once upon a little while
    I do my most to make you smile
    ‘cause seeing your sweet face makes me inclined to

    I wish someday I would get real
    and stop this crazy shit I feel
    these molehills into mountains I must hike through

    Bipolar happy mediums
    are still my only closest friends
    and all I am is what I am designed to

    So now I must erase your face
    and put me back into my place
    rebuild these concrete walls that you can’t cut through

    I’ll galvanize this little heart
    and make you stop before you start
    and hide my stealthy heart from you in plain view

  • The Early Bird

    The Early Bird

    Originally published online Oct 6, 2016 & in the print collection Photographic Memories: The Neverending Sequel — available here

    The Early Bird by Melodie Yvonne

    I’m perpetually looking
    For someone in life
    Who won’t think it’s too early for me

    I’m constantly searching
    For someone who thinks
    It’s ok for me to be me

    Maybe not romance
    Even just friendship
    From someone that sees inside me

    One that won’t use me
    Or be way too boozy
    Or flee when it’s time to help me

    I know I’m real weird
    And sometimes I’m feared
    But it’s just my wild heart that runs free

    Just give me a minute
    To calm all these nerve tics
    And show you the greatness in me

    I swear I am worth it
    I’m all that you heard and
    A little bit more underneath

    But time keeps on spinnin’
    And still I’m not winnin’
    That early bird worm that I seek

    My last hope is gone now
    Move on I will somehow
    So used to my lonely I’ll be

    And maybe stop lookin’
    For chemistry cookin’
    When matches light fires just as easy

    Watch Melodie’s Full Poetry Practice Reading!

    In the lead-up to my live performance this Sunday with Premium Blend at the Clear Vibes Concerts, I went live on TikTok and recorded a full poetry reading — over an hour of words, rhythms, and raw energy.

    If you want a taste of what’s coming (or just want to hang out with my work in a longer form), you can watch the full session here:

    This Sunday, September 7, I’ll be stepping onto the stage to share my words live.
    The performance begins at 4PM, woven between the brilliance of Premium Blend as part of the Clear Vibes Concerts ft Premium Blend!

    It means a lot to bring my poetry into this kind of space — surrounded by music, energy, and community. If you’ve been curious to experience my work beyond the page, this is a perfect moment to join me.

    I can’t wait to see some familiar faces (and new ones too) in the crowd, and to share this afternoon of sound and spirit together.

    ✨ Space is limited, so please RSVP now at clearvibesconcerts.com

  • My Bipolar Heart

    My Bipolar Heart

    Originally published online Sept 7, 2016 & in the print collection Photographic Memories: The Neverending Sequel — available here

    My Bipolar Heart by Melodie Yvonne

    The cuts on me might be deeper than you
    Rape, murder, poverty’s things you get through
    He tore me apart with a cannibal’s tooth
    I bleed from my heart, and I’m on the move

    My soul’s on my sleeve, my brain is a-hidin’
    It’s too late for me, veins are weak and I’m dried up
    All I got left are these lips that are tied up
    ‘Cause this flabby skin’s got nothin’ inside it

    Is there someone out there that feels this way too?
    My bipolar heart is done bein’ abused

    Shame on me now ‘cause there’s no shame on you
    Fuck right on off I got nothin’ to prove
    I never cared anyway, it was a ruse
    I let you use me ‘cause I like gettin’ used

    I’m takin’ my heart and I’m walkin’ away
    The cards can piss off, I don’t wanna play
    Hear me right now these last words that I’ll say
    Welcome to my world, your ass better pray

    Is there someone out there that feels this way too?
    My bipolar heart is done bein’ used

  • Muse Blues

    Muse Blues

    Originally published online Sept 3, 2016 & in the print collection Photographic Memories: The Neverending Sequel — available here

    Muse Blues by Melodie Yvonne

    Please allow me a moment to bend your ear
    My sick situation will soon be too clear
    And all of these moments I keep to myself
    I’d not wish on enemies how I have felt

    Depression sets in and I don’t let it phase me
    It keeps creepin’ in until I’m weak and hazy
    Thought I was something but knowin’ I’m not
    I wish I could change but I’m all that I got

    ‘Cause I am still me and you are still you
    I got all this sadness so what should I do
    This frowny disease won’t let me near you
    but I’m going to wither without my muse blues

    Knowin’ my soul is completely irrelevant
    and now my heart has completely gone celibate
    Flying towards hope that might soon revive me
    but blues just taint greens with more blues as it binds me

    And even on days when the sun shines so bright
    I sit and I long for a sliver of night
    For there I might find where my happiness lingers
    and snatch back my smile with my discount five fingers

    ‘Cause I am still me and you are still you
    I got all this sadness so what should I do
    This frowny disease won’t let me near you
    but I’m going to wither without my muse blues

    I guess in the end these digits were greasy
    and so are the arms that held me so briefly
    now back in my mind cage still ever so lonely
    I remember my place and know I’m a phony

    ‘Cause I am still me and you are still you
    I got all this sadness so what should I do
    This frowny disease won’t let me near you
    but I’m going to wither without my muse blues
