Wren: Poems

Wren Mar 2018

I was considering the forests
How everything gets darker as you go deeper

Darker
Larger
Stronger
More Threatening
And More Beautiful

(So long as you don’t mind the blood)

And then I thought
This happens in oceans

And I suppose
It happens
In you

For A Girl

Wren Mar 2018

For A Girl

There is little worse
Than liking a girl
Who is

Prettier
Funnier
Smarter
Better than you could ever be

The sun and all the stars
To your awestruck moon

There is a knife in my heart
I have called it
Incompatibility

For A Girlfriend

Wren Apr 2018

For A Girlfriend

There is nothing better
Than being liked by a girl
Who is

Prettier
Funnier
Smarter
Better than you could ever be

She is your sun and stars
But the moon can be beautiful too

She is holding my heart
I call it
A Miracle

Yes, this is a response poem to For A Girl. It turns out, it wasn’t that dramatic or tragic after all.

Safety

Wren Mar 2018

Safety

Let your hair fall
Let your heart lighten
Let you burdens lessen

We are hidden
We are safe

We are without responsibility
And a touch irresponsible

I am here
I am safe
You have me
I am not leaving you

So listen
Watch

The sun is setting
(You’re calling me golden)
The wind is whispering
The trees respond

And it’s begun to rain

Things To Do

Wren Apr 2018

Things To Do

Come across the ocean
Just to see me
Find me with the bluebells
When they bloom in late April

Kiss me up against the trees
Hold me in the rain
Let me put flowers behind your ears
Let me show you everything

— The End —
