#say poems on Hello Poetry

Telia Aug 2014

Say hello to my version of goodbye
Maybe it will make you fly
Maybe it will be unbearable
Maybe it will be pulling-out-hairable
Just drink coffee with me
Add some cinnamon if that's what you want to see
Wear old sweaters
And write sappy love letters
Standing in the rain kisses
And playful disses
Cuddling on the moon
And maybe we could spoon
Just say hello to my version of goodbye

Said Said Said

a cotton-coloured sky sheared with wiping hands

foggy windows

when I'm with you through the windshield until

the frame gives and it follows is to the ground

the crows roared Poe loud and low in metronome flow

and floe that hides more than it shows and grows and grows and grows

until we're too cold to move move move

solid

and I was naive to believe the street strips skin

stretches it thin over drum kits like canvas

and lets the beat sound low and loud

in Canada we put a 'u' in colour don't judge

Fake a Smile

I smile at you
And you think I fake it
You smile at me
And I think you fake it
Because you think I fake it
But I don't fake it
I say, why do you fake it
You say, why do you fake it
I say, I don't fake it
You say, sorry I think you fake it.
So I smile again and fake it
And you smile back and fake it
Again
And all we ever do
Is fake smiles
And barely talk.

F.Z.N

Tell

I know you won't, but don't dare say it.
I can tell.
When you're pushed up
against the small of my
back,
fingers wrapped around my neck,
breathing in my
smell.

Sign it with a kiss

Post a letter to
your memories
Say hi for me
Print it in italics
and go way back
Make the letters dance
like your love did for me
Say it sweet, say it beautiful
Sign it with a kiss

Gold

I know what they say
‘It’s not who you think you are that holds you back,
it’s who you think you’re not’
It holds me back like the fire that lines the tracks

Hiranya, I wish I… could at least be
your friend, the one who is loved
And one who loves in return,
To stay true and will hold each other up above
…

You are beautiful as the sun
The moon, and the stars all together
I hope that you know.
And you bring me into the clouds of ether
…

She strummed a chord on my heartstrings
Without her even knowing
What if she would happen to know?
Would it also pluck on her heartstrings?

snippets of poems I added into my short story 'Cliffs, oceans, and poetry' in the voice of a character called Ishaan
