rain land
Margrett Gold Oct 2015
all the pretty pages
etched white and gray
landscapes of my heart on your hands
cool and damp
wash away your smudges,
bundled huddles in the lamp light.

Warped
Margrett Gold Jul 2015
am i a little bit nutty
just a wee *** of crazy
warped, maybe.

But no sugar, please
this cafe full of clowns,
drones, on an awning of sounds
i yawn when I'm sick
till my stomach sits
nausea won't close my eyes
I'll stare at the nothing,
an eternal sky
feel myself break into atoms
one by one
neglected by realness
lost in my own particles until I am all prickles
evaporated and dry.

Components quietly speak you and I
we breathe sound
down the road,
you and I

and ***
runs us down.

Birds & Bees
Margrett Gold Jul 2015
"I do wanna get to know you better but..."
there wasn't hardly a thought
I knew well

bumble bee
you stung well
mouth swollen
read well,
the sleepy prickly discomfort

of go with the flow
Honey
it was all yours,
well
extract more.

Sweetie
sweetly
turned muddy.
and “I like messy,"
strictly Stopped

but I want you.

Prickly muddy tongue,
I want you

delight in honey floods
rough trees where I've perched upon
still glisten

listen, I WANT YOU

but you,

for you

well,

it's nearly done

Fancy a cup
Margrett Gold Jul 2015
Sipping on warm green tea reminds me of the sea

Foam at the bottom of the cup
the fizz of liquid, like salt,
that's been boiled up.

Stirring its depths with a sliver spoon
Who knew the sea could soothe
and be consumed?

Murky olive green
and brown slides down
without a sound

"Summery" of a new World
Margrett Gold May 2015
Not your Central Park,
a new cobweb,

and expectations of Peter Parker.

Find me

As Stickiness slips
the struggle
of gummy hands glued

While open Ended Ice Cream drips
a maze of mosaics,
one,
two,
three Purple Pin Stripes at a time,

and I still catch your Lips

Margrett Gold May 2015
Stone,
You don't break me
or push me into place.

The wind and I will watch you,
Run right over you.

My streams will flow from your faucet face.
I can't drown a stone,
but you'll wither away,
dry sharp sediment
coarse little grains
and the winds
will throw you, dust,
into decay.

I wish you'd lick it off.
I want to live in your eyes.

but your phones gone dead.

Bad Parents?
Margrett Gold May 2015
Yet Truth and Honesty,
not always clear to me,

they're their own entity.

Uncraddling.
They've allow Me to submerge myself
into what has always been known.

And not at all similar to comfort,
nor a sense of peace.

indirect, passive,
...neglectful

Truth and Honesty,
Mother and Father.
A second version of "Real Parents"

Real Parents
Margrett Gold May 2015
I remember when truth and honesty were a serene entity
that I could wrap myself in the comfort of

I would breath lightly in pure knowing.

and know love and peace.

and dream in shades of satisfaction,
no matter the state of damage that this knowing had caused.

because for me, ignorance was torture, not bliss.

Sick with Memory
Margrett Gold May 2015
laying in bed remembering sensations
conversations,
places.
These moments brush my cheek
then smother me like i'm an illness,
but they can't get away.
These memories hide from my glances.

April Showers

A shower of rainbow beads

warm mist quietly descends,
whispering secrets from the Heavens,

Love always Welcome
Margrett Gold Feb 2015
The echo from my bedroom
ricochets against your door across the hall

welcome

and soundless feet force a halt
before awakening the breath within

silence, muffled in a clouded cup

guides
creakless nights

soft, in the echo of your welcome.

Rise and fall
Margrett Gold Nov 2014
through thin and sharp
my hand reaches out to slap me
and I rise and fall against visions
of what could have been.

I wish you sleepless nights.
to the answers that will never come to mind

I was there, fresh as air for those tiny moments
when you couldn't even breathe
and when you dreamed
that you were having dreams,
reliving past and present grief.

Resolution's Conflict
Margrett Gold Nov 2014
right, into the arms of wrong
begin their very first dance
and Resolution watches from the sidelines,
fearful of nature's maladies,
a kiss creates lightning
uncovering, unraveling, rewinds
prays for hands to part them,
yet endures the crippling of electricity
as silence hushes the unknown.

Fish Tank
Margrett Gold Aug 2014
My life
for an instant,
wafting in and out of reality,
a breath taking verisimilitude
interchanged with my surroundings.
enclosed,
naked,
numb,
lying belly up in your palms.
This poem unraveled itself, some live oblivious and helpless, like fish in a tank.

Peace making
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
The well lit room
glows warm,
the fan, cool against my shoulder.
i've talked to you,
coffee infused lips
creamy crisp
milky flavors dance
to the fizz of my brain.
The ice, all shrunk,
slips down my tongue

with a yawn,

a warm glow
in my arms.

photo Us
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
echos enclosed in glass,
we're framed in gold
looking up into the eyes
of our future selves,
of those whom we have yet to know,
and of those whom have known us since the beginning.
To my nephew. I take a glance at the old photo on my nightstand each day. And I think about how far each of us has come since that moment.

Cat Naps

In your sleep
your quivers quake

whiskers shake.

soundly slumber

stretched like gum

furs all a flutter

Built on Sticks and Stones
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
I  may have crushed all the delicate
Crap
of my soul

that "ever yearning for you"
that washes up on window panes  

the constant deflation,
cowering
chained-up-into-deep-corners-of-destruction-and-self loathing pain.

I plummet face first into the ground.
scuffed skin splintered with stone, a few broken bones,

and a nervous chuckle
are the first breaths of liberation.
We can take ownership of our own well being. Live, cope, and you'll survive.

If it sounds like love
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
You're that tiny bright bird
the only one  
riding thunderstorms.
I search
from inside of my shell
far into the distance,
and a speck of tumbling ferocity
growing more wild and close.
I open up my window,
and maybe,
you'll rest here,
in my palms.
You'll always be present and like a pleasant flutter, a positive energy through the soul. I'm not sure if you've ever known the impact. :)

Getting to know You
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
we seesawed on sallow vines,
it gripping the crux of me
mid-swing,
pioneering through overcast intuition,
yet seemingly nearer to the light.
There are so many times that I base my reactions only on my own perspective, no matter how smart I think I am  handling" it" and we're creating our own functionality. I'll have epiphanies at times when answers seem simple, and then it changes as if the light is always in my peripheral reach. We learn every day through new experience, but each of us experiences differently and has one's own interpretation, which is why it seems to me, that nothing is solid. Even scientific fact changes as the world moves on. It doesn't wait on others to finally notice, try as we might to keep up.
-just a scattered rant.
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
I've got one golden thumb
that's worthless,
heavy at high fives

and two corkscrew eyes,
that role around like dice
when I lie.

A heart shaped nose
that I use to seal envelopes
instead of a kiss

and cotton ball lips
soaked with sweat
from your fingertips

My ant farm abdomen,
consuming to the beat
of bodies and waste

Legs with feet, feather up
thickly, like smoke
coming in at first place.
Just random and silly images that I needed to imagine and illustrate.

in conclusion,
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
Lesson #1
you set the pace

in a competition of you against
you

and when you don't stand up to adversity
it truly becomes your enemy.

give into pity,
and there's no winning

(I guess that's lesson #2).

To your Heart's desire
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
Hearts, bursting balloons
eyes twinkling in the string of lights.

glitter in every one's smiles.
and we snapped pictures,
cartoon faces

cupcakes frosty fresh
cookies glistening, red in sweet
sugar jewels.

and they,
spinning madly
in love with freedom
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
An orange sun cools,
drifts beneath the lake
as we sway together
an evening song of friendship.

shhh, we whisper in an attempt to create
a reasonable hush.

giggles on dark stones lead us home
milk and cookies lull us to sleep.
Being a camp counselor had its perks

a 4oz Farewell
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
dark rinsed veins
drain to the brain,
a throbbing tiredness
drives me to well up
hide against the wall
refrigerator buzz,
paper towel
covering a runny nose  
in case someone walks in
ignorance, a few feet away.
paunchy eyes; silk streams
glistening onto chewed up finger nails,
a silent sort of death
unnoticeable
serene,
as I clutch my mouth and the kitchen counter top.

Spin of things
Margrett Gold Jun 2014
Pains fuzzy,
say it twice
Never is enough

Disappear swaying, and repeat
tousled eyes
hold a conversation;
Brown tangled sorrow,
Crumply whiskey goo.
Darkness dots,
racing flies without wings.
This is from a different poem that I've written. I shortened it by taking out words and lines from the previous poem. I think its kind of cool.

Farther Back
Margrett Gold Jun 2014
when it pains me to propel,
skin too fuzzy

and your text shows up
an empty box.
nothing to say
and you'll  say it twice,
never is enough

I disappear
a swaying head
a wish
and repeat.
though these tousled eyes can barely cry
long enough to hold a conversation

and if i'd drain my mind there'd be a large
brown thud of you
tangled in tawny fur and sorrow
all covered up in crumply pixelated images
and rubber and whiskey and goo

soul steeped in darkness,
seeps through my pores

and those grainy black dots form and disappear
at the corners of my vision,
racing along the sides of my view like tiny flies without wings.
wow...negativity is like a demon of some sort.

we could've been a Wildfire
Margrett Gold Apr 2014
In our graceful gray
I searched for entity golden.
You summoned me
with a silver smile

and a fervor lit so close,
****** vapors threatened to ignite
the embers which teased my core,

singeing a trail of teeny
hairs.

I inhaled your
exhale;

***
curled around my tongue
like smoke

Eventually
Margrett Gold Apr 2014
I felt your skin,
barbie-like ,
clammy waxy-smooth
plasticy as I imagined
appealingly
shiny in the darkness.

I tasted your scent of earth and ocean
the wood tones creating charmingly,
an appetizing lightness
musk melody
fixated on my neurons,
as I breathed you in.

Your doughy hands
baby touch,
enlightened the panic in my face,
dissolved the numbness.
Tingles
surreal, whether I opened my eyes
or held them closed.  

What ever came next

Your lips stiff and sweet
as an apple's core,
I felt
rising against my back
like a lump in your throat.
Arms thunderous
logs bundled in blankets
clumsily avoiding skin contact.

Each exhale of saucy yearning,
summoned me a little further
to where I felt the insides of your desires.
With each exhale, I grew more restraint

I felt wonder trickle down my spine
and fade
with your breathing.

Feeling T[his] goodbye
Margrett Gold Mar 2014
I try to mimic the touches that you've made,
here when I’m alone
but I can’t seem to trace the slow
slow
trails,
the ripples
the shivers,
the heat
that you've garnished over my skin,
the feel of your finger tips
sliding along the seams of my sweater,
riding along the ridges of my spine
down and round the valleys of my senses.

I try to mimic the touches that you've made
alas, when I’m alone
my timing is always
slightly off,
your touches feel like a stranger's,
never quite right.
And those carefully carved moments
the order of movements
of walking through the door
to familiar ground,
and laughter
with a twist of lime,
a kiss
and release,
timing that sigh of relief
settling down into the confines of our choices
starting a scene that always seems
to end in a dream sequence in my mind
realizing that it abruptly begins,
and painfully ends in time.
(I feel you still, and delicate, when I pull off clothing and climb into bed). I suppose this is a feeling that I just must let go of.

Whispering to tequila
Margrett Gold Mar 2014
I drink, unto you,
fury shakes my heart,

my mind,

I feel it squeeze
with a sickness unruly,
tight.

And sleeplessness stored,
discomfort cocooned
in worry,

the coolness in your sheets
again...

Selfish
when we are apart,
and together,

never cohesive.
It's a loneliness that I crave
it's what we perfect.
Margrett Gold Mar 2014
Choke on the shavings of my heart
that melt in your mouth
that stain your teeth and gums
like thick jagged crayon that smears across your smile.
The waxy dribbles a trail down your pastel colored
your collared shirt
In blues and yellow green and red and brown and grey
I tried creating peace and pride and color to your life
You added me to your own empty pallet
and you colored-
Wildly
You let the shades of me melt right into your hands
and I grazed over the lines in your palms
I was smooth
Now my labels been ripped, down to crumbles, oily grit underneath your fingernails -  
I hear that you're not much into art anymore

Beauty and the Beast
Margrett Gold Jan 2014
I felt the heat of the thing.
Dragon breath,
Silk skin stirring
Slurring snakelike. flowing
mouth muscles maneuvering me like a map.
meaty fleshy heavy
strongly, musky, dewy bodied, dense demanding maladjusted dragon
of-a-thing.

But truthfully,

Growling.
Beautifully buzzed,
unraveling marvelous
and opening cabinets, untouched.

making the most delicious
messy delicate dishes.
mmm growling
beautifully buzzed
ravishing impatient,
negligent.
Attentive only to sorrow.

Cee Log
Margrett Gold Mar 2013
Sail cool curves
calm,
a glistening sea
dipping deep into the pool,
a pole waiting for the pull.
Warm waves wrenching at the hook,
rushing ferocity
caught you in the undertow,
and the wild wet wriggling
you hold firmly by the throat.
mouth gaping
spastic,
the slick white belly,
oily eyes,
shine in your mind.
Margrett Gold Mar 2013
I miss our short lived tuesday nights
because that was the life, we had to be right
-locking ourselves up like clams on a rampage
classy-unclassy; sipping trash and champagne,
and fumble galloping into circus lights
or hot into a lions mouth.
Trapiezing through city crowds of clowns,
trusting each others shaky hands.
To a few good friends :)

Whisps of Weekend
Margrett Gold Feb 2013
Home grown boy heart in city leaps.
Starry eyed goldie locks,
Girl swing so pretty, sleeps
poetic
shares the world with a fuzed up smile
You’d probably get it, took time
to talk a while
opportunist’s Whit in hand
and hesitation’s fresh
beneath froth.
Cool carbonation sensations
on flesh
exchanges conversation to burst
back
to the farthest room girl
roams to imagined nights with you
rather, to the midnight moon shone across the floor
Rhythms seem to change suddenly, not sure if it's all over the place or how i feel about it.

Raspberry melody;
strikes rock and air
What I would do for mermaid hair
Saucy sweet

but you’re eclectic mixed with willow,

Last night's Lasagna
Margrett Gold Jan 2013
By morning we've got cold amphibious tongues
coated in blubs

Still slimy throats
up-gurgle newts and muck.
Moss sprouts from our mouths
and brown coated gums.
Flies quivering between teeth.
Lips dry as salted meat.

Weepy Head
Margrett Gold Dec 2012
The flutter of uncertainty
makes me weep.
I feel like squiggly lines run through my legs and feet
and up toward my chest,
In my head
that I might break
piece by piece.
when I'm exuberant
I feel it too.
It hits me strange
in the mind,
trickles through the chest,
i'm out of breath,
and I weep
