31/F/Florida Hi I am an visual artist and never considered myself a poet until recently. My works come from the notes app on my iPhone often written in times of distance. / Check out my art: instagram @tamara_walkerarts
Now I see, How I'm falling Joining all ya'll lovesick fools Battling tears from, Memories held captive To all my desires and rules Like a fight with an enemy Claw of a lion cutting deep Love that's always unseen Only to be forgotten Under the ginkgo trees Like the wind stirring leaves This love I hold for thee Causing discourse and sickening sweet Smooth going as honey tea You're a tragic lyric in my head Silly and forever on repeat An unknown book never read

Falling for You
People I know Sing under trees They follow the aroma Of sweet honey bees Gathering on graves Forgotten black figures With painful hums and hymns Haunting sinful flowers Creating sweet nectar For tea sipping ******** Plantations engulfed in guilt Wood and rope up in flames Smelling of whiskey and *** From the 1850's to 2020's Still upright remains The sentiments they built Till present children dance's Internet post gaining fame For some to laugh at Others show to shame New historic beginnings On the flame licked horizon Feeding knowledge Soils deep under feet Promising seedlings growing Encouraging brown and black faces For a Garden's uprising   At last a brighter Future song to sing

Nottoway's Ashes
When all eyes turn to nature When all hearts brush the trees Whisper into the leaves When all feet steps the grass When all hands grasps the seeds Speak into the trees When all lips breathe the wind When all bodies swamp the waves Shout into the sea

Try living in paradise Still recovering from trauma Thinking about the ones left behind Feeling sun on brown skin While buildings burn down Today was like any other Enjoying cool ocean waters While salt washes festering wounds Fresh flesh like grapefruit is pink Looking to the distant stars Trampling on growing daisies Only to lay in a field of them Howling loud at worship While fearing the whites of saved eyes Lift every voice and sing To dance and to be joyful While quakes lulls sleeping babies When the dust settles what remains

30 now
Am I an empty cup Are my contents used up Or are you still filling Only to be over spilling I’m about to topple over From the stress around my corners So hurry lift me up And please drink up

Your Empty Cup
Burning incenses in my room Scents engulfing my brain In hand one drink or two My way to stay sane Just wanna drink alone Without company I’m fine Others think otherwise I know what it looks like Choosing loneliness for comfort To me it’s a complete feeling But my cup is never empty It keeps me good company
