She Writes
Your love is like spilled ink
My heart is like paper
The more I try to wipe you away
The more you spread
Infecting every inch of me
I try to erase you
Only to tear myself in the process
The harder I try
The more I fall apart
Until there is nothing left
But tattered pieces
Of ink and useless paper

She Writes
I know you are too good for me
But that won’t stop me from trying
To be good enough for you

She Writes
She writes so for one brief moment
Someone somewhere understands
And in that moment
Neither the reader or the poet
Are alone and misunderstood

Amelia of Ames
Forget houses or apartments
I call three cities home.
Drop me in one of these
Disparate points on a map
And I know I belong.

Just as I can’t commit to one life project
Too in love with everything I do
You can’t receive a straight answer
When you ask me to choose.
Where do you call home?

Why not call everything on this planet home?
Why not call my loved ones my home?
Why not call the slivers of neighborhoods
Forests, mountains, deserts familar to me home?
Why not call it a state of mind, not of place.

Though the three cities are thousands of miles apart,
They form one map for me
My home.
It’s sad to leave home again. At the same time, it’s good to be back home again.

Magic poet
Lighting lights the night sky.
Dread felling you insides.
Thunder rumbles, crashes , rolls across the night.

A drop plops! Then another soon
A rythem begins against the concert.
You watch with shock as the blood drips.
Felling your mind with images of stain skin.

The mixture of rain and blood,
Swirls, circling the drain
Flowing away from the sin that was committed.

Lighting flashes! Lighting up the frozen horror.
Rain rolls down following the trail of old tears.
Washing away the last emotion shead.

The final screams gone with the wind.
The cascading rain fades,
The thunder dies down
Leaving in the wake
Dead silence.
This is not much. Haven't written in years nut for some reason it pop up in my mind.

She Writes
The ones I try
so desperately to please
Are the same ones
That have disappointed me

Why am I still seeking
Approval and love
In places where
I will never be enough

She Writes
You were her muse
Every time she picked up her pen
Undoubtedly she knew
Her clumsy heart fell again
