Crush

Tidal ebb

And flow like

My pen and

Paint in winter.

Writing poems

Painting pictures

For and about

You to

Never see

Or know

No Pictures Please

Photo encaged

I grip the sides

To better bite

Your head off

Gasp

The last thing I felt was

Your hand in my hair

As I was pulled

Into edless night

And the last thing you

Saw me do was

Gasp

Cage

I'm so

Thirsty for

Escaping it

Drips down the

Bars to torture

Me but

If I said I

Hated this

Cage I'd be

Lying

The alcohol

Holds me hostage

It has a

Beautiful face

Not to be ignored

Full-Face

Forced full-

Face value

Smile for

A laughing crowd

Gabrielle Hamberger Aug 2010

Rage

When the waves break

They roar like me

They rush forward in

A violent push

Then slink in

Retreat to sneak

Upon you

Surround you and

Consume your feet as

You watch in horror

Realizing you

Are wet

Cover

I will
Forever cover
The wells of my
Feelings so
You don't fall in
And drown.
