A List.
The Gist of which
U Missed.
On a Tryst.
While we Kissed
You fled Bliss
And for This
I am ******.
Hiss.

Blowing the seeds
to the wind
scattering time
the seeds of time
The hands of the
grandmother clock chime
just like the watch of mine
draped around my wrist
The seeds kissed
my face not the clocks
as the pendulum rocks
to and fro
been nowhere but has
somwhere to go.
Not too fast but nice and slow.
The seeds blow
over and under
through hail and thunder
rain and shine
Time is all mine
I have it in the palm of my hand
Like little streams of falling sand
which measures time.

Look at you,
 Jul 2014 Kelsey Bohn

your scent lingering on
these cold sheets,
is all I have to remind myself
that you were here before

how can you be so cold
sometimes I wished you could
possibly tell me what you are thinking
but look at you,
your lips in a tight line
your eyes strained as if
to bring yourself out of here
I hold my knees to my chest
quietly, I sit here,
giving you enough space
maybe you would stay with me a little longer
hold my hands enough for me to feel warm again

if only you could tell me how you feel
I admit, I am of no help to you
I am trying, I promise
I will not ask you to make a decision
or start a conversation that I know you cannot answer
I will sit here quietly,
rocking in this chair in deafening silence
waiting for you to choose me,
choose me,
choose me,
for you to choose me.

] do  hope that I have not offended anyone after reading my poem called childhood.  If you have been offended then I sincerely apologise.
It was not my intention to embarrass or offend anyone.  Thank you

Bisexuality

it took me years
for me to face my fears
to realize that it is okay
to be bisexual

it took you a second
to spit out words of blame
now all I hear is,
the ringing of "wrong"
and the beat of "stupid"
a string of sharp knives
come right at my heart

I'm starting to cry
and ask myself why
is it so wrong to be me?

I am beginning to love
The things I hate about you
Because they are the things
I hate about you
I am afraid
Because I don't think I can grow
To love to hate anyone else

Equality

I dream of a painting of her
occupying one third of the canvas
painting of her on the left
leaving the rest of it blank and empty

although you may think this isn't right, and you are entitled to your own opinion.
I personally think it is something we are born with, we are not any less real than the rest.
They bleed and hurt the same as everyone else.
all I ask for is for equality.
(we shall not pray, it's not a miracle im asking and hoping for.)
This is about equality towards the same love. It came about when I thought of a painting I really wanted to paint and this would be my caption.

My heart never broke
It never stopped
It was never shattered

My heart kept beating
But it meant nothing
Because the rest of me was dead
I wrote this in a minute, sitting drunk on my bedroom floor.

There is something special
Precious, vulnerable, loving
So innocent.
We all go through it,
it is childhood.
A beautiful young life
curious, wonderful and special.
So intelligent
absorbing information
left, right and centre.
Good information
stored on th shelves of a brain.
Funny moments, exciting moments.
These little people, so beautiful,
watched by a caring mother.
Protected, loved and cared for.
So why oh why are there people
on this planet that want to spoil it.
Wreck memories, invade their space,
abuse and frighten children.
Let them be children, let them play.
Children are our future.
Children are special.  They deserve to grow up in a safe environment.  To learn to play to love.
