high tides

Sep 2018 Robin Lemmen

witchy woman

even with oceans between us,

       I’ll swim against the tide
            to lie
               against
                 your heartbeat

once again.

Tearstains

Tearstains

There are scars on my
Body that I will never
Know where they came from.

There are tearstains on
My pillow I don’t even
Notice anymore.

I’m told I need help
But I don’t even realize
That I am broken.

Don't worry, this is not about me. Just a thought to all those who are struggling.

Time is often ignorant

grumpy thumb

Time is often ignorant

Dainty hours
spent with her petal soft smile
lush exchanges
how her mouth makes words warm
delicate moments
when our eyes held each other
little desolate
when hands separated
and time disconnected us
as it blindly does
without so much as an apology

Dream of Me

Dream of Me

Dream of me
I am real...
I am where smiles are made
and tears fade away
Where hope springs forth
Away from the darkness
of the earth

I am the glow of the moon
and all the stars in the sky
those who seek the light
shall have me as their guide

I am the red bird or butterfly you see
Just keep your eyes open... to find me
I am where tomorrow is coming
and hope always holds on
My darling
I am never truly gone....❤

I have been dreaming of my mother lately and do not want to wake up because it feels so real and I miss her so. I wrote this from her perspective writing to me

fell/fall in love

I fell out of love
with the thought of
falling in love.

I think there's a phase in life where you'll stop fantasizing about love and focus more on what's really revolving around you

Time

Time

Teary eyes, heavy chest.

Burning anxiety, trouble breathing.

Hours feel like days, days feel like years.

He's close, yet so far..

His eyes, so hard to ignore.

My cries to be understood, failing.

Am I asking too much?

A moment alone, and I wonder..

Summer's on it's end, are we too?

dripping words from bottles

Bee

dripping words from bottles

she asked him
'why is it
that i have yet to know a poet
who doesn't hold a bottle
the same way he holds his pen'

he replied simply
'darling
a poet's hands are weary
so he must find some way
to ease the weight of his words'

Exhausted

I feel as though
my life
is just
one long poem

that nobody
is reading
