Poem: Jane Austen's Life Hack

Gray one poem, Black one poem or all one poem, madness in the mixing

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, how cliche, to yearn and pine                                (Oh, how cliche)

To linger awkwardly, toe the line,                                (to moan and whine)

When words, breath and thoughts combine                (to bury deep)

I am swooning, clutching chest                                   (this truth I find)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Oh, what the fool I seem to be                                       (Oh taste of muse)

To duck and dodge, to turn and flee                             (and smells of pine)

yet still I sigh impatiently,                                             (Like fingertips inside my mind)             

 

{waiting for auras to collide}                                {Ensnares thoughts unknowingly}

                                                                                        

Though I admit I to wish to kiss                                     (Hesitate, struggle, resist)

Delicate brows and dewy lips                                         (It buds at the root of play and jest)

Better to take to pen than to transgress                       (Feigning false indifference)?

and rush like wind to folly                                               (Shows how deeply one is ruled)

Poem: Welcome 2021

Dread has this heavy feeling Rock in my tummy And this city leaves ash in my eyes So I take to the woods Moss cushioned steps and words I can't take back But I would not If I could? I would string them like pine cones Like pearls around my neck Red and blue?  That shit's for you  Smoke it by yourself

Poem:Lunacy (or how to lose composure)

                Like laces     Tied and tumbling                                    Mute   Like laces tied and tumbling Stagger, fits and starts Like laces tied I am stumbling                    Frozen. Caress the sky with gaze                                                                                                                                                                                The earth pulled out from under me                                                                                                                                                                  I don't know what to say

Poem: Music of the Blood (full poem)

It is what it is To cut open your belly and bleed out on stage To open one's eyes and be caught by surprise  that other's stare back through the haze Oh, what it is To take all one's pain Give birth to a dirge as you mourn on the page
