Filled with emptiness like me

Tell me why he sings
In melody so solemn
When he’s so gorgeous

This made me smile. So short, but so much to consider. Well chosen words!

I find ease in the constant change
New buildings around each corner
A crane lifting a piece of scaffolding
Like Jenga with higher stakes
My favorite building was torn down yesterday
I had […]

Brilliant and evocative! Love it.

Great imagery!

Why do we all fight
Over who is wrong and who is right
?
Why do we find something to pick apart
Are we dooming ourselves from the very start
?
Was life ever normal
Or were we just a […]

Dip a finger in the melted wax
Cool on your finger, hardening
Fire is dancing
A cigarette lit from flame
He once told me that smoking is the most
Intimate you can get with fire
Swirling in […]

gorgeous imagery. I have a phobia of fire, so it’s nice to see it imagined in a different way like this!

Your ability to paint a scene with words is admirable. The smoking description and the candle in the old wine bottle were really poignant for me.

Do you think ocean animals commit murder?
Do they s(t)eal?
So much unknown
And yet we walk around so confident
So unafraid
The mysteries that lie beneath the surface
Is there a justice […]

Interesting poem. The ending is particularly effective. I love the imagery of becoming fish food, and “we never asked the right question” is a fabulous – almost haunting – accusation. Great job!

My family was not religious as I grew up
Nor are they now
But we always celebrated Easter
Kites flying above
Eggs filled with trinkets
Baskets hidden in the dryer, we always […]

Click
Clack
No distractions
Paper, a ding
Return it back
When I was eight I was given a typewriter
Told it was Santa Claus’s
That I was chosen
I typed every word I kn […]

You are home
The easiness I find in each kiss
We find a middle ground
An urge to understand each other
You hold me tighter
I can see the glimmer in your eye
Before the words leave y […]

Recycled air dances through my respiratory system
Stranger’s shoulders brush against mine
I keep my head forward
Every bump is a sure sign of death
Every announcement is my last
I ask the […]

“It’s just a stupid plant”
Nustled in moist dirt
Sitting in my hands
Reaching for the sunlight
Whispering oxygen into my nose
A sapling
She will outlive us
Her growth quiet and […]

The buzz from my electric toothbrush mocks me
Ten years without the dentist
Seeing the world through yellow-tinted teeth
Peering through the gap between my two front chompers
The chip I created when I […]

Amongst her sea of long black hair
A tiny white gleam stares me down
With eyes of wild green, she stares with such intensity
For a few minutes, our hearts beat in sync
Then hers starts to growing […]

Respect
A place where people are valued
No matter what
No hurt
Open communication
Easy breathing
Trees everywhere you look
Looming gardens
Vines wrapping around each o […]

Amazing how a song can feel like a hug
A manufactured memory that brings you sweet tears
Warm fuzzies and a cup of tea
Just the way you like it
Haunting how you can hear it in someone else’s […]

Cottage doors slam behind
A firefly lit treeline illuminates the cobblestones
My bottle of whiskey transported to my belly
Warm, a strange warm
Absent flames give off no heat
I can still taste […]

this is so beautifully written and an amazing take on how lack of communication can sink a relationship that could be beautiful

Growls fill the air
Booming, a sign of doom
My blood runs cold
The ghost of simpler times haunts my bones
Waving me off, my final goodbye
Where is it coming from?
A family of trees all […]
