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.

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.

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.

It was like running very
slowly through
town.

...lazy lights
Under the big tree

You and me,
We caught fires in our hands

And almost always set them free.

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 Feb 2013
The tiniest flicker of tongue tip
grazes soft indentations
mouthing incantations
against a tickling itch,
prolonging the glorious suspense
for an intensifying release

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.

No one’s sitting in that chair,
though soon not even I,
To say that I’ll no longer be,
would be, to say goodbye.

The thought we’ve had to think, we’ve had!
Though neither wants to think.
That we may loose it if we wait,
that you and i may shrink.

Though would we lose ourselves apart
from all there ever was,
to speak, to hear to see no more,
of me, of you, of us.

For space to see some other things,
perhaps will do some good,
Though you’ll stand here
with someone else,
in space where I once stood.

He looked down into the pool
as it turned to fire.
Igniting his reflection,
burning his eyes,
lashes singed,
and I could smell it,
sparking sparkling ripples.
He is lucky he isn’t blind now…
I told him to turn away
from the mysteries.
Though how could the fire
be so cold, he wondered.
Again, with curiosity,
Though he did not dare touch his hand
to the water
in fear of its depths
And secrets.
He once thought the pool had no emotion,
that the smooth movements of the water
were a result of the breeze
but the water breathed
and was disturbed by him.

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.

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 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.

Chained those messy tears
and I let them sink like an anchor
the streams wont weigh me
I've corked up my sockets.

Our lives are a poem,
in which words are not a necessity
for expression.
Those who choose to speak it
might feel different.
They may look different
than those who choose to remain silent.

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.
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.

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

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
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.

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.

— The End —
