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.
Margrett Gold Jan 2012
Make me into a balloon,
******* up.
And stretch me out.
Make me shine.

Tie me up,
Watch me close.

Let me go
Let me fly.
Lose me in the sky.

Be happy for me
When I’m there,
up high.

It wont be long
before I come back down,
I’ll Pop.

Then you’ll find me,
Here
on the side.

licorice licks
longing thick,
sticky slowly sweet,
savory deep
darkly chewy,
lingering treat.

A shower of rainbow beads
ricochet from my fingertips,
warm mist quietly descends,
whispering secrets from the Heavens,
a trap door for sunlight.

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"

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.
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.

"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

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.
Margrett Gold Jan 2014
Growling.
Beautifully buzzed,
unraveling marvelous
and opening cabinets, untouched.
Contents spilling
you and I use every ingredient,
making the most delicious
messy delicate dishes.
mmm growling
beautifully buzzed
ravishing impatient,
negligent.
Attentive only to sorrow.
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
In your sleep
your quivers quake
ears nose
whiskers shake.

breaths to the beat of a
dream
soundly slumber

stretched like gum
legs sprawled under

running
twitching
furs all a flutter

falls off the bed....

"crazy cat", I mutter.

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 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.
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.

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.

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
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.
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.

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.
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 Feb 2012
You sought me out, ignore the rest;
Sharing unwrapped and unmarked gifts
whenever you needed to be touched.
Creating moments so beautiful
So cunningly.
So impersonal, yet needy like a pup.
Loving only to survive,
Until I fell in love.
Margrett Gold Apr 2012
I like what you do to me,
does it count,
****** me poetically?
this fantasy,
it pleases me.
You grabbing me
from inside and
forcing me,
until I’m ashamed.
Though I’m to blame.
No room to be bashful,
I just had a mouthful,

-Your well written slave.
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.
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. :)
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 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).

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.
Margrett Gold Jun 2012
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.
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 :)
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.
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
Margrett Gold Jul 2015
Components quietly speak you and I
we breathe sound
down the road,
you and I
wind 'round the wind
and ***
runs us down.
Just like that, its written itself about something else entirely
LOL
Margrett Gold Feb 2012
LOL
Random bursts of laughter.

"And I can’t wait until

We’re older…

And laughing".

How bizarre

And strange we sound

To those…

Speaking the silly.

A different

language

In a way…

Some may know

other familiar dialects,

And we must ask,

Where are you from?

You sound like us

But a little

different.
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.

buoyant, bounding toward the sun
holding clouds,

Ocean sounds,

savory buttered golden,
on sweet potato bread

drips
make a figure eight on my thigh
I wish you'd lick it off.
I want to live in your eyes.


skirt pulled up to my chest
but your phones gone dead.
Right at the most exciting part...
Margrett Gold Feb 2012
All the night is,
Is a thin layer of blackness
And color takes over
In the backs of your eyes,
Glittering through the
Orange and blue
translucent white.
Galaxy spills from the bottle.
Your fingertips
catch the light.
Margrett Gold Mar 2013
White eyes
like day clouds, reflected on a mirror wall
blink back nighlight emitted
from my own waking.
Reflected dreams
sweep me cold through a breeze
the chill shakes me to sleep.
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
I am kind of pretty,
not his kind of pretty.

still, I feel ******
...this ram-shackle city

While he in his shiny town,
hold no pity.
Really, not that pity is something to aim for.
Margrett Gold Feb 2012
No purer than this
In the middle of the mulch and sand,
We stand.
We swing, and we sway through the dark
or the fog,
exhaling the day.
Memories captured,
laughter greets the night.
While these small moments,
These beautiful movements,
We'll keep in our minds.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

...incomplete

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
Margrett Gold Jul 2014
when the giggles have gone,
all you've got are the *****
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.
