miraculous
Nora May 2020
Was it a fluke, or something more?
The answer remains to be seen, but
That expression in your eyes
Makes me want to believe

bacio d'aria
Nora Jan 2020
Le nuvole mi abbracciano,
E potrei morire nel uno momento così
Dove la sola cosa che possa trovare
è la bella tocca di tranquillità

il mare
Nora Jan 2020
Voglio essere una con il mare
Trovare tranquillità nel sfumature di blu
Mio cuore piange per la sua libertà
Ma ancora rimasta nel il stesso posto
Pieno di voglia, che sono incapace di
Mostrare, anche se affogassi nelle onde

cheese
Nora May 2020
Soft and gooey, or
Hard and **** --
This delicacy owns my heart
one word prompt: cheese

mettle
Nora May 2020
The fly on the wall that got too comfortable,
Now sitting in the way --
I’d chase you with a swatter
But I’d be giving into bait

Unspoken
Nora May 2021
I would never want to write your narrative
Even if you should pay me no mind
I sit here, tortured
At the very thought that you’re not mine

I would do anything for love
To feel whole once more
But my darling
I wonder if you’ll ever open the door

You tell me I’m pretty
I laugh with ease —
But my mind, it falters
Will I ever find peace?

bejeweled
Nora May 2020
What’s your prized possession?
How do you measure your worth?
Diamonds dripping from your fingers,
Or perhaps a crown of gilded spoons --
Do you adorn yourself with petals
Or proudly dress in thorns?
one word promot challenge: bejeweled

picking the pen back up:
Nora Jan 2020
Tired, uninspired
Whatever happened
To the way i used to be wired?
resuming poetry after a long pause is so incredibly HARD.

plodding onward
Nora Jan 2020
I dug myself out of
The trenches only to find
Myself inundated, the
Thick mud tugging at my
Ankles like quicksand --
But isn’t it fortunate
That it’s malleable,
That I will mold it
To my own liking and carry on?

ravenous appetite
Nora Jan 2020
My ***** is hungry but
My heart hungrier --
I ache for love over touch
Time over a singular burst
A lady to call my own over a
Transient lover,
An angel’s caress --
A sensation like none other

Heart Hunter
Nora May 2021
Delicate wisp of a flower
How hard it is not to pluck you
And call you mine
I gaze upon you like a lovestruck fool
Every inch, a consummate canvas
Adorned with adoring ink,
Tied together with bright blue eyes
I watch like an incapacitated panther
Wanting to launch myself into you but
Something stopped me deep inside
I could never mar something so fragile
So beautiful and wholesome
So ethereal it makes me want to die

— The End —
