Your words
Drip
Over me
Defying gravity
Coating me
Like silken
Paint on an
Empty canvas
I hunger for
Everything
That is you
#Roomprompts

Her coffee tastes more bitter than all the mugs before
Tainted by memories
And expired expectations.
And so she sits in the tightest corner
Blinds drawn,
Sips small and slow,
Waiting to remember
Who she was before.

She is locking all the doors again
Cutting every tie
Burning all the bridges
And using the ashes to resurrect the
walls that you so clumsily slid by
She’s blowing out the candles
So you can’t find the way
Gathering the breadcrumbs
The forget-me-nots
flung into the sea

A blow so fierce
the poet,
had forgotten how to write.

She runs away
from sunlight and warmth,
never made it
through a summer day
without getting burnt.
Her frozen toes,
shiver safely in the dark.

Sometimes the wolves
disguise themselves
as harmless pups.
Their cunning little teeth grow in fast
and meaner than they should.
They sink their sharpened fangs
deep inside your ventricles and walls,
leave you
near-immortal,
your delicate skin
forever
searing in the sun.

Falling back
receding slow as the lowest tide
climbing back into her cobbled tower
crumbling, aging, rusting…
waiting an eternity
for the only hand
that wouldn’t let go
without a valiant fight.

I’m not the girl that wants expensive dinners
big gifts
or fancy dates
uncomfortable
in eye and form that intimidate.
But bring me out into the wilderness
and I’ll teach you how to
to breathe deep
with tree and stream.

My favorite dress
Flows just right
But its deep pockets
Are still stained
with dancing memories
Of shaken nights.
And I’m too scared to wear it.

#poetry #micropoem #bulletproofgrace

When my hands
begin to burn and chafe
when the rope
begins to stretch and fray
when I know
the only choice
...is letting go before it breaks
...is walk away
...is save some tiny bit of strength
so that I may live
to breathe again some day.

Solitude was a river
flowing softly,
detached from sky and earth,
belonging
only to itself.

#poem #fallingskies

Twig by twig,
she builds her nest
a sanctuary
from sky’s unrest.

With the carefullest haste
you put out every fire
so well it starts to flood
and I
being burned so long
have forgotten how to swim
while being blinded by the sun.

Storms brewing
raging deep inside
a restlessness builds
until darkness
colors every vein,
she runs,
wilderness,
the only place to hide until it fades.
