Split down the center
insides glow
on skin anew
away it all flew
that day
I saw a dove
making me believe
in love.

I smudge the paint
on the wall
your wall
to call out a weak power
by which I love you.
Cower beneath the hedges,
never to be seen,
I can't seem to say what I mean.
As I let go of you,
black and blue,


you drift out to sea
Ann Beaver Dec 2014
Sticky lies
comb the gum out of my hair.
The universe told me
it is unfair.
We will trudge through it
snowy boots
sticky fingers
and all.
We will catch the vase
as it falls.
I will watch my face
as it calls
and combs
the gum out of my hair.

Come closer if you dare.
Through the fear of my dazzling glare,
I see a sunset
and a past
not worth talking about.
Dance with me
and see
a sunrise
with eyes like moons.
We will run off together
like they do in cartoons.
We will cut our tether
like you always wanted,
but I remain forever haunted
by a sunset
and a past
not worth talking about.

Wipe me clean
a chalk board eraser
So close I can taste her
You're the worst I've seen
take it all one-by-one
I asked the sun
if it would heal me
I asked God to be
somehow closer.
Ann Beaver Nov 2014
I walk through
the door marked "you"
A cloud of poison
I have chosen
because I crave nothing
but suffering
please tell me
that my sweet scene lingers
the way your words do
the way your fingers
always have.
