#nin poems on Hello Poetry

Rhiannon Clayton May 14

I am an artist, try as I might, I will never fully live in this world.
A part of me will always live in the songbird's pocket,
and fly, to land on the windowsill of Romeo and Juliet,
to flutter to the doorstep of Anais Nin,
to hear the poetic masterpieces of her mind.
No, with this artist's heart and a poet's soul,
a part of me exists only in a dream.

-Rhia Clay

when i do not have you

i am thinking of you, until when.

when. not seeing you.

i stretch out my hands (like a blind man)
stepping on sounds -
pieces of glass underfoot

keeping you pierced in my heels. until

when. i can't hear you.

i soften your steps with my lips

when. i don't touch you.

i don't touch yourtouch.

until

i cry

How do I say

"I want to feel you from the inside,"
while the best I can do is:
my love boat on your love boat.

I smell you like a flower.
I eat you like one too.

Listen to "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails

Risk**

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.
