Flower Dance

“flowers. Dancing. moonlight”


The night thickens and I feel dance.
Outside there is a tingling movement,
a bursting triumph painting the air in tumbles.

 

Night jazz crawls up the flower’s stems,
I see dandelions dip and dive like dolphins
for the skittering drops of moonlight.

 

Petals floating; confetti upwards in joy.
They feast on unreasonable passion,
exhaling all sense with beauty
until the edge of dawn comes again.

This poem is for sale on a beautiful background in the form of a canvas print, framed print, art print, acrylic print, metal print, and greeting card.

Mists of Maleficent

“a poem about maleficent”


From mists to mists, the maleficent
black like scraps
of night cast down, she swoops.
 
She sleeps in sharp brambles,
soaking in a darker nature
waiting for her peace to pierce.
 
Whistles of fresh death flush
on the song of the black bird,
claws digging into her shroud.
 
She listens like snow under the sun,
soaking in her darker nature;
waiting for her beauty to die.

When We Were We

“ill never let you down shane,im here till the end of this nightmare. loving and missing my boyfriend shane lots,  cant wait till this nightmares over and were back together”


 Once loving arms,
when We were We.
Now shrunken shadows.
With passion cold,
Only shells left to hold.
 
We were We,
And now we are each
living like days are nights,
and nights are nightmares
that feel like cold cellars
and vacant streets.
 
Once, we could kiss the storms away-
When We were We.
But now we are gone,
With knots undone.
Like kites lost in tangled branches
Yet, the strings still feel attached.
 
My breathing may turn to tears,
but, I am still filled
with this heartbeat of yours.
Because we need to live
Like when We were We
when the days were easier to swallow.
 
I can’t shrivel my feelings.
because they can’t be lost
when I see you in my dreams.
Which is why I wait,
And why I won’t let you down
when We are We again.

Theatre of Life

“I would love a poem about theatricality in daily life. I’ve been thinking
about this topic for a while, I would love to hear a poetic take on it :D.”


The rehearsals of childhood,
repeated, practiced, restructured,
and engraved onto our blank brains.

 

Our roles are like ropes
which we pull for guidance
and wiggle for fun.

 

We mold our meat
for our roles,
for what we ought to be.

 

And the more we act,
the more we see the truths.
Rapturous nature, calming deaths, frivolous passions.

 

When the moon glows hot during showtime
and our eyes strain to see
what is real or upstaged reality,
we see the real stage.

 

The podium of stars and trees-
ever changing to fit the actors
who change costumes to fit the weather,
like delicate dreams that shift at night.

 

It’s these days of overturned acting
that make the moon grow anxious
and the sun takes us backstage again
to find our moldy scripts.
