Gone Tomorrow
An exciting toy is handed down
With the joy of connection, not a scowl
A toy to tinker through the bordem
To call and text through the doldrums
Time stands still in the classroom
Not learning or thinking as you'd assume
But waiting for that buzz
The vibrate of a 'like' to discuss
Parents reaching out because they can
Speaking fluently through this tin-can
Kn...

Black hole
Moon eyed she goes
She is one of the stars
Lonesome she is
In the presence of Mars
Soon her reflection renews
She is a planetary part apart
Memories become brand-new
She is solo in this system
And as the lights dim
He becomes hers
She sucks us in
Until everything’s hers

she's so pretty
I watch you with her,
I’m stupid for caring,
I watch you with her,
Gosh she’s so pretty,
It’s not fair,
Her hair,
Her eyes, her smile,
She drowned you,
She pulled you in,
I’m scared you’re stuck in her trap,
But gosh she’s so pretty,
On the outside and within,
I see why you fell for her,
It would be so easy,
I wish you would fall for me,
I understand th...

stranger in the mirror
sure I have a "pretty" face,
my clothes are new,
friends make it great,
my mind is a blur,
thoughts running through my head,
every time I blink I see a new list,
of why they hate me,
how I'll never fit in,
or all the reasons they pretend,
I sit here at night trying not to cry,
staring in the mirror til I believe it's all right.

unachievable dreams
didn't wake up with the intention of being bad
I don't know why there's a pit in my stomach when no one is dead
run around my house and verbally beat up my dad
the screams sound bloodshed
he says, "there's so much you wanna do"
and i obvert my eyes
wait around for a mental break-through
and make unachievable plans doing the highs
i wanna be a savior
and get th...

Vital
The haunting of a broken tap: drip, drop
The thirst after the sun: drink, gulp
She never said a lot, gargling girl
Sliding in and out of my body
Helping me breathe, walk, talk
That was why I swam
It was water
Brought me alive floating out to No Man’s
Diving down to skim the sand
It was water
Wanted it, always had it, but could never catch it.
It was water
Insipi...

girl like me
a girl like me will meet a boy she loves and instead of loving them,
she will think only of the words she will use to describe them,
when she writes a poem that night.
i am not ashamed of my soul that i bear whenever i open it.
a girl like me will write about every person she encounters,
and hope that for some reason they stumble upon it,
and spend the rest of their life wonderi...

In Bloom.
The past reverberates through me in the present
stains my clothes pungent.
At fifteen, a boy stole the solace of the dark from me
in his bed
with his hands.
Now when he touches me,
he must keep the lights on.
In sleep the past has me,
travels upwards, claws at my throat
and I cry out
for the dark to let me in.
At twenty, the boy who stole the solace of my...

The Girl I Sold My Horse For
rambling wide was what I did
saloons and bars near and far,
winds alive behind my back
horizons lit by a guiding star
I never thought much different
till she caught my horse's rein,
she taught me to settle down,
didn't need my horse's mane
she's sassy and bright and clever
I grew to love the kegs she wore,
she's the mother of my kid now
she's the girl I s...

What Became Of That Poor Girl?
Nothing could stop what we did
Alchemy dictates its conclusion,
Tangled in an urgent chemistry
Physically desperate for fusion
What became of that poor girl?
Hiding those scars on her wrist
Bruises like plates on her back
Her lips in pain when we kissed
A freshers' conference is wild
Or used to be in olden times
Before masks and distancing
And other anti-...

Barefoot Girl
We obey society's conventions
For fear there's much to lose
One of the unwritten rules
Is to at least try to wear shoes
You went barefoot like a peasant
A throwback to the days of old
I wondered about your welfare
I feared you might catch cold
You risked those feet on grass and stone
Burned one after dropping the kettle
The other was left hopping mad
Afte...

Hailstone Girl
Hailstones pounded the sidewalk
And bounced off your pretty hat
I watched from a nearby doorway
I could'nt do any better than that
Hailstone girl you made me smile
The way you fought through fire
Afraid you looked but beautiful
Your courage filled me with desire
You dashed across the intersection
Automobiles flashed by roaring
Wipers raging, mad horns b...

h e r
this world is a universe
for she is a world
in herself
at every turn beautiful;
a billion flowers
in any garden of gloom
would bloom to her smile;
her existence is life
her instance pride
with sadness shied away
the swooned heart
travels miles in a beat;
every sweet smell
reminds me of her
the earthy perfume
rain sends forth
the flavored whiff

pity flower
sometimes
I forget
what you are:
just a flower
swaying to
the directions
of foul winds;
rooted,
yet can’t stand
your ground;
looted off
your perfections
for reasons lewd
you pursued
colors faded
and gone
gone into a world
a life where
pretty flowers
don't belong

The Last Rose
On a snowy day,
In a dimly lit street,
An ailing girl, utterly dismayed
Perches under the canopy of an enormous tree.
Looking heavenward,
Her eyes well up a little.
Perhaps she’s waiting for a special someone,
But all that comes to her are snowflakes, frosty and brittle.
She tears the icy veneer of the earth
With her gloved fingers.
And buries a white rose b...

Simply Says
Simple Girl, frankly, says:
“Life is simple without lies”.
Lies are always complicated,
And TRUTH, surely, will rise.
Simple Girl's heart is warm,
And brain is normally calm.
Thinks for her shiny future,
Happily, without windy storm.
Simple Girl believes in God.
Says always a faithful word,
And purely behaves in life,
As human does always good.

Strangers
Blank eyes,
Gazing skies,
Saw your skin,
Full of lies,
Touched your hands,
Saw Wrinkled lines,
No family,
Few Broken ties,
Casual traveler,
Finding life,
Two strangers ,
Such A cold night,
Sipping wine,
Dim sunshine,
A girl I met,
By riverside,
Beauty as if,
Shining moonlight,
Felt like I know her,
From some other life,
I think she was Running away ,
Just Like me,
Drinking aw...

I do not get it
I do not get it when they say,
We will not make it one day,
I do not get it, when they laugh,
On us and on our scars
I do not get it when they do not believe us,
How crazily can this world suck?
I cannot express the pain in words,
Let’s run because we seem cursed
Let’s run away from the chains of pain,
Let’s run away where we can dance in rain,
Let’s run as ...

The Lost Girl
A lost soul
not so bright
never done wrong
but not always right
Lost in the woods
in her dazzling mood
going against the world
she thought she could
I heard she was sad
maybe she lost her dad
in early age
she got trapped in a cage
Society used to tell her
what she had to be
but she never believed
and went after her dreams
I...

Before She Fades
Before She Fades (On a dream who are you girl?)
I see you you've come back to see me
You all in black trouser suite
With a bit if lipstick not needed
You're slim and medium height with tied back hair
We get on well you tell me how you feel
I say I've done a poem for you
I fumble in my book to find it
So many messy pieces here
Where is it?
I was just working on ...

The flavour of her
After the rain on the damp with the dew
And the scent aromatic like sassafras
Where the girl walked bare foot
the declivity steep
But an effortless jaunt,
pinnacle to shallow in obstinate manor.
The girl in undress
through the plaza she rides
Cheers plentiful,
suitors in abundance
But her eyes fixed hungrily
awaiting her nemesis.
And all this pluvial,
the rain her ...

garnets and emeralds
the pretty girl
puts on some blusher
from her compact case
on it is an image
just like her
a pre-raphaelite print
this girl scans the sky
her eyes always above
she watches the planes
go out and come back
for she counts them all
one by one
is her guy up there?
or is he missing?
she remembers him
and cares for his comrades
the girl who counts the plane...

Tears
Do you still cry for me,
Like I still weep for you,
Those tears blocking everything you see,
Trying to hide the pain when you meet somebody new,
Is your vision as blurred as mine,
Behind your beautiful eyes,
I’ve been trying to move on now, for such a long time,
But I keep questioning if I gave this love enough tries,
I was hurt,
And I was used,
And now I’m...

TEARS
How many tears can one girl cry?
----
it depends on the lie...
---
The world is often not what it seems
Broken hearts
Broken dreams
---
How many tears can one girl cry?

What seems real is often make believe
a part of the truth but not complete
My heart is often not considered
I am real and my heart beats
---
Beauty is skin deep
The heart is deepe...

GIRL OUTSIDE
Have you seen her eyes?
Like searching grass stains
Reaching, reaching up the bark
Of her rough touch, rough hands.
Legs like hay, the hairs like needles,
Could lose thoughts in them, do you understand?
Oh, have you seen her eyes?!
Like dancing lily pads,
I once tried to catch them in the lake.
Silly mistake, oh big mistake
Because she can be a swamp,
Her pull like...

Nettles
I’m pretty sure there were tulips in her eyes,
I shouted “Fire! Fire!”,
She took off her sunglasses,
She saw sunrise.
Now I know it, there was a darling rose in her blush,
A honey dew in her stare
But they told me “beware, beware!”
“Have you not been warned of ‘primrose way’?”
Now I felt it, there were dandelions on her lips…
Make a wish, make a wish!

Listen To Me..
Hey baby, listen to me;
I never thought you'd follow my advice
Though I'm sad, I don't regret,
Seeing the happiness in your eyes.
Hey baby, listen to me;
I know you know me too well,
I wear this façade just for you;
Though I know, I can never tell.
Hey baby, listen to me;
I changed myself just for you,
You know I care about you,
But she's attached to you, like glue.
Hey baby, lis...

Poem for a Barmaid
(Somewhat tongue in cheek but here we go . . .)
You’re not expecting the thunderbolt to hit
Then when it does it hits you like a brick
One minute innocent and unmoved
The next incensed with passion and feeling bemused
Lovely face and beautiful eyes
The curve of your body is no surprise
Your smile affects me so, I’m feeling weak
And like a fool I can h...

That Girl
She’s a kind of a paradox, that girl
Its not that I even like her at all
I just love her, that’s all
She’s a strange one, that girl
I mean, I’m not sure if she even likes me at all
I just love her, that’s all
She’s a young one, that girl
Much younger than me and tall
And I don’t even like girls that tall
I just love her, that’s a...

She walks down the street looking really cool,

SHE HAS THE ANSWERS
SHE HAS THE ANSWERS
It troubled her how it had come to this –
she knew each detail, each action, each thought –
but still it troubled her.
As she fell to her knees, her woollen skirt became sodden
with freshly fallen snow.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she wept
for her lost love, gone forever from this strife-torn world.
Soon she would do the ulti...

The battered fishing boat sets out in the storm.
The crew knows that something is wrong and that someone will die.
As they pass the coast the storm savagely worsens.
Through the rain a small figure is seen atop the cliff.

I notice you in the pub, you with the raven black hair and pierced face,
you look at me, a dark eagle. I guess rightly that you’re as alternative as me.
We talk, we get on, I see no ring on your finger, are you single, should I have asked? You say you sing, I say I write and I’ll show you my poems, you’ll sing me a song. What kind, I ask, emotional you say, but yo...

ABDUCTEE
You’re a girl like no other ’cause of what you are.
It’s not your fault that you got scared,
cry at night or get so lonely in a crowd.
Everyday you ask the same two questions:
Why me? And when will they come for me?
You get flashbacks of blinding pain and flashing strobe lights.
So when the aliens abduct you and you feel it before it happens, you...
