I find myself
adding a lot of commas
in my poetry
Could it be
I need more
breathing space?
Maria Etre Dec 2019
When happens when
(insert emotional event)

is exactly

when it should

happen
Maria Etre Dec 2019
The musky smell of cigarette smoke
your cologne
my hair
yesterday

*The ingredients of my morning's perfume.

Kafka Joint
Don't look into the eyes of the monster,
You won't like your reflection in them.
Maria Etre Dec 2019
Looking through the window
at floating clouds
sun beams melting away
in their fluff
a bird flies by

A slight shiver awakens my spine
your warmth slowly slithers
around me
a strong embrace

The sun shows up again
the clouds have passed
blue skies, calm me

you land a kiss on my shoulder

you go back to bed

and sign off with a light caress down my spine

sign language for

"come back to bed
the sun understands"
The beauty of poetry is imagination
Maria Etre Dec 2019
Here's to the poems that never made it
I will forever smile in your memory
clandestine
Maria Etre Nov 2019
Adrenaline ignites me
Poetry serenades me
Routine murders me
Romance sedates me
Rain waltz's me
Music hypnotizes me
Chaos romances me
Instability intrigues me
Art melts me
Reality scares me
Society humors me
Classics make me
Time molds me
Lessons create me
Family guides me
Summer strips me
Friends hold me
Colors birth me
Laughter tears me  

&

You, my sweet
are all the above
