#movement poems on Hello Poetry

Renaldoe Apr 2018

Fill me up with all the smiles that you stole
Pour me a full cup even though I'm not whole
Make me remember all the stories of what used to be
Give me blurry visions of the things I want to see
Show me the memories of loves' past flash by
Wait for me as I once again ask why
Straighten the road that still remains broken
Fuel the light that once was ever so golden
Remind me that loving you was never my completion
Trust that it was just a plus to my destination
Walk with me as I seek the path through whatever weather
Know that even though we passed, you'll be with me forever

Windchime

Glass renders it silent,
its movements make sweet music.
Its song remains unshared
until someone, the window, opens.

13/30 growth

small logging towns aren’t a place for acorns
the clay soil can only hold pine
acorns get lost here
covered under mud
stepped over and on by steel toed boots
watered by only the rain
no nurturing hand to help
not a place for an acorn at all

escape is a crow
snatching the nut in its beak
flying over mountains and rivers
eventually dropping the nut
descending down to a city park

here the soil is just right
mulch and compost
water comes once a day
like clockwork
feet step around
a good place to take root

in this nurturing place
a few years down the road
branches grew sturdy
bark is thick
leaves block out the sun
birds make nest here
children climb
picnics take place below

to the acorns delight
they've grown into a place
where others can thrive

music

The night was long.
the air was cool
i had my earbuds in and i drift away
i start to sway with the breeze
the music just takes me away
My movements swift
as i move to the song whispering in my ears
It pulses and moves
Alive, the beat of the song its heart
The rhythm its movements twisting and turning
My body transported i am part of this creature
It move with my dance steps the tempo increasing
I am wild as a tiger
I am as docile as a mouse
I am elegant as a princess
I have grown a pair of wings
I sigh as the song starts to fade
Its beautiful song ends bringing me back to
reality.

Dance

As i move gracefully through the flow
I forget everything, I let myself go
To the music, feeling the beat
The magic is here, enchanting my feet

I whirl slowly around the room
My pointe shoes hurt but I focus on the tune
Practicing hard for the show
Moving my body high and low

When you feel sad, dance they say
Me, I should dance every day
A soul expression, it's from the heart
Dance through the darkness, this is my art

Secret dancer at times, yes, maybe
Hiding myself so others can't see
Terrified at times of outside perception
After many years of harsh introspection

But the show must go on, wind, rain or shine
And If I keep on dancing, I'll be just fine

to

you move my soul along

Hole

There is a - hollowness - inside of me
A gap I can’t seem to fully locate
A hole - a cave - somewhere inside of my chest
It sinks - it fills up
With an emotion I do not think exists
It feels like tidal waves, I feel it shaking inside of me
The first time I felt this hole
Was when the boy with messy brown hair and a heart even bigger than his smile
Lost the battle between him and his demons
And they swallowed him whole
The second time I felt this gap
Was when the kid with a loud laugh and cheesy dimples
Lost control of his mind
And now he floats in the sky
The third - and last - time I felt this hole
Was when I heard the screams - of children
Who knew they were about to die
Their shrieks and sobs
Radiated miles and miles from their tiny district
Into my heart, into my lungs, and made their way into the hole in my chest.
And now I’m just curious
What horrible thing is going to happen
That will make this feeling
Happen yet again?

we need more love.
