ask me who I was
I dare you
I scare you
put me behind broken walls
almost obsessive, always regal
draw my wings on your mouth
craving a butterfly kiss
pull me under maybe I’ll take you for a ride
when it feels like the end
I swear I... [read more] |
tallsquirrelgirl posted a new Poem titled Rock & Roll 20 weeks ago
I want to get lost in
the rock & roll of you
the slip & slide
motion like a drainpipe in your storm
crush me these shells will
find a new hope
take me away
this is more than just a vacation this is
fire magic sunrise driftwood
riding... [read more] |
tallsquirrelgirl posted a new Poem titled Rise 20 weeks ago
if you haven’t noticed love
tide is out
meaning we can find all our homes
all our not-quite-sentient selves
in the shadows of today
rocks befriended by furry green fingers
all their sons peppering my toes in the sand
in the orange-burnt chill... [read more] |
tallsquirrelgirl posted a new Poem titled Ruin 20 weeks ago
I only want a little bit of ruin
some marshmallow ash to keep the captive inside
you can play me
hard like a piano
soft like honeysuckle between the teeth
don’t let death chase me
just a fffflicker of it like
oh- oh- there
cutting bringing the tops... [read more] |
tallsquirrelgirl posted a new Poem titled Tide 20 weeks ago
you see
sometimes I do want genies & wishes
& a swelling tide as I take off.
sometimes I just want a clawfoot tub
and friends who call me honey.
there is nowhere in between. [read more] |

in another country
I may tell you other lies
echo this loud again
make a heartbeat out of height
skyscrapers I can only love underground-
world
make it make sense
smile at me, hole in the sky
dance earthquakes around me
lullaby my only... [read more] |
randyjohnson posted a new Poem titled The Late Patricia Routledge 20 weeks ago
When she starred in 'Keeping Up Appearances', she did a great job.
She starred as Hyacinth Bucket and Hyacinth was a snob.
Patricia was a British actress and she was a Dame.
Now that she's gone, England won't be the same.
When she starred as... [read more] |

I am grateful for this little bit of wisdom
I learned from a life filled with love…
not from any books upon the shelves:
The moments in between our milestones

We were talking with a friend over dinner the other night…
(as friends have a tendency to do)…
when we started sharing memories from a more distant point of view.
Birthdays, weddings, funerals, vacations, people we’ve met

elliot_jordan2003 posted a new Poem titled Echos In My Head 20 weeks ago
(Verse 1)
I’m staring at the ceiling, silence feels so loud
Every word they’ve thrown at me still circles like a cloud
The mirror shows a stranger, someone I don’t know
Every smile I fake just hides the ache below
(Pre-Chorus)
The walls are... [read more] |
redbrick posted a new Poem titled if God could die... 20 weeks ago
If “God” could die, then He was never more than an idol— a brittle construct of priestly decadence, a shadow cast by the herd’s fear of freedom.
The true God, if such a one were, would not collapse beneath the laughter of the... [read more] |
redbrick posted a new Poem titled lights turned inward 20 weeks ago
I was taught to polish mirrors
that never showed me back—
a child bent into reflection,
a servant of glass.
Their voices were lanterns
turned inward, hoarding flame.
I learned to speak in refraction,
to wear masks that smiled
without... [read more] |

Stand in Your Own Light
Stand in your own light— even when the lamps go out.
Carry your silence like a lantern, not as a burden, but as a map.
The world will tell you to wait for rescue, to lean on borrowed fire.... [read more] |

Following an afternoon of croquet, he
is ready for Love. He has tossed off his mesh
tee, baggy jeans, and thong. From his feet, propped on
your shoulders as you thrust into him, you taste
fresh chlorophyl stains.
