I saw a girl made of nothing
in the reflection of the sea.
No form but her dark eyes,
staring back at me wide with curiosity.

The sky was her canvas,
the stars were her freckles.
Her blood ran in the sunset,
Rain fell like her tears.

Though she was a beauty,
she had no story to tell.
Because God is a silent gift,
subject to the tortures of being heaven far too close to hell.

My pen exists
Between heaven and hell
And feels the pull of both.
Swinging like an undecided compass,
I never know what mood
Will govern it.
Which polar end will win today?
It taps the page like a metronome
And I wait with bated breath.

Their poetry imperceptibly
slipped
into the first person.

Neither of them noticed
when
'he and she'
became
'you and me'

Let's analyse that, shall we?

You spoon fed me
delighted at my gurgle

I soon outgrew
your simple wonder

And to acknowledge me fully
as a sentient being

Would be the real test
of your love

'you have to go to spirit', he said,
'spirit cannot come to you'

Out The Ditch

I pulled a man out the ditch
not because it was a Sunday
everyday is holy
I pulled him out because
he didn't belong there

I breathe in the dire warning
and breathe out sister
and brother
the constant pressure
to conform

There is a strange
Disturbing power
That he has over my heart
For within a day
He takes it
Breaks it
And then pieces it back together
So that I may be
Once more hypnotized
Into some twisted
Form of Love
Unquestioning and
For the moment
Unbreakable
With love, kelsey
