Hazel
Margrett Gold Apr 2012
Sometimes it’s summer in your eyes.
Trees swaying in the green of the breeze
There, the sun shines.

And flowers bloom in Spring,
Cool yellow green, where moist
Mossy earth is alive.

And deep evergreen inhibits darkness,
The warmth of daylight fading fast
Freezing pools of frosted blue.

Gold and brown shadowed by sunset,
an amber autumn shines
In the evening of your eyes.

Treat Me
Margrett Gold Apr 2012
Rock candy
that’s what you are,
Hard in my mouth,
I let your sugar melt
and coat my tongue.
*******
Liquid syrup
Slurp and swallow,
Twirling the stick
twist and lick
Let your tip
pass through my lips
I’ll taste the kiss,
and your juices sit
In the smoothness
of my cheek.
Slowly
you grow soggy-soft in my smile;

Mmm, satisfied.

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"

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

Speak Easy
Margrett Gold Oct 2012
My words are clumsy
and heavy as rocks thudding
on top of moist earth.
They're disruptive,
uncomfortable.
The noise of my voice like brass
clattering down a flight of stairs,
injured and dented.
Though underground, the sound
is silky and sleek.
My words falling like tiny pearls,
tap dancing daintily,
spilling smooth across marble,
rolling easily,
steady like pattering rain.

Raspberry melody;
strikes rock and air
What I would do for mermaid hair
Saucy sweet
You must breathe gold
as you speak in crimson tones
And we’re all a little insecure,
but you’re eclectic mixed with willow,
in all I’ve seen from over there.

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
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 :)

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.

Your skin against My skin
Is coarse
Scratchy
Bark,
and it peels as you crunch
against my freshness.
Your unnatural flesh
Flaking off in chunks.

Your heaviness
splitting me
Grinding into my spirit
(while I resist)


I want to spit.

Before we dream
Margrett Gold Sep 2012
Sticky sheets
gooey in between.
Shivering through shouts,
nights last loud.
tickling me with your eyes,
hands moistening thighs,
pale gasps,
crinkled crys,
and waves that rolled then calmed us
close, too close.
Naked, nestled real
in silver hands.
Sweaty smooth,
and gritty
sand.
Fresh faces hot against backs
and kissing
to find pillow lips
plump
and flowing with neon lights,
crakling life.
sweet, following sleep
to the rocks of electicity,
creating soothing simplicity in me.

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.

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.

Temporary Captivity
Margrett Gold Apr 2012
In college we are taught to be animals
like "monkey see, monkey do".
Paying in pennies
to live in this petting zoo
Uncaged
Untamed
Some of us broken
Most of us maimed.
Escaping,
freedom without a clue.

My life
for an instant,
wafting in and out of reality,
a breath taking verisimilitude
interchanged with my surroundings.

naked,

This poem unraveled itself, some live oblivious and helpless, like fish in a tank.

Dandelion Life
Margrett Gold May 2012
Take me to the river
Or the lake
On the water,
Where we can watch old men fish
And make wishes,
Sending them off
into the sun.
Take me to
where I can see the trees
on a hill
from where I lay
in a little red boat,
where frogs belt out a
Curious call,
And bare feet splash
in muddy marshes.
Where clouds shaped like sea horses
Become whales
And turtles before our eyes,
Floating on and on and on and
Ongoing if we would
only stop measuring time.
And the depths
To where my slippery sword
Slashes the ripples,
reaching beneath the surface;
Where I’ll keep my hands apart,
arms out.
So that we’ll glide and collide,
we’ll follow and lead;
our little boat dance
would go on forever,
like the reflection that earth paints for the sky.
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.
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

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.

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.

Margrett Gold Jul 2014
The well lit room
glows warm,
the fan, cool against my shoulder.

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.

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

making the most delicious

Attentive only to sorrow.

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.

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.

Beauty and the Beast

Dragon breath,
Silk skin stirring
Slurring snakelike. flowing

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

Not your Central Park,
a new cobweb,

and expectations of Peter Parker.

As Stickiness slips
the struggle
of gummy hands glued

While open Ended Ice Cream drips

one,
two,
three Purple Pin Stripes at a time,

and I still catch your Lips

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.

You sought me out, ignore the rest;
Sharing unwrapped and unmarked gifts

Loving only to survive,
Until I fell in love.

Sleeping Beauty
Margrett Gold Jan 2012
Once upon a time…
In a large room
With a tiny window
And mirror mirrors on the wall,

He’ll call her Sleeping Beauty,
and kiss her a while;
she waits for the prince.

In a land far far away...
They’ll be face to face.
Or they’ll be chin to forehead.
They’ll be locked away

Up in the highest tower...
He'll charge into her,
Horses pounding at her heart.
                                    
He doesn’t know how to dream
And he hates it when she sings
So she just screams.

He’ll only come a little while.
And then she’ll fall back into sleep
so beautifully. It’ll seem

they all lived happily ever after...

The End.

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.

No room to be bashful,

Connections
Margrett Gold Mar 2012
Not wanting to become lost around the edges,
Eyes kept wide
I chew on metallic memory

Crossing the tops of my "L's" like "T's"
crossing my legs
and feet,
digging deep into the groves of a hardwood floor,

Now I'm seeing you from beneath

And there are your eyes, all dewy and earth.
That dark. And rich round.

Fluttering.
Filtering out the echo,
that sounds around your face
static along the edges.

Sipping on warm green tea reminds me of the sea

Foam at the bottom of the cup

and be consumed?

Murky olive green

Your hands are slow;
soft as they stroke
and they tug.

Noses rub
so we laugh a couple.
A chuckle and tickle,
even a pickle.

While your mouth on my skin
is just right like a creamy dessert.
Cool
and light.

That I may take flight in delight
underneath you.
Tying our legs
like we tie our shoes.

Squeezing loose the juice

Feeling it ooze as it drips
from your lips
in this morning's kiss,
and the taste on our tongues,

The tingles persist.
