#tight poems on Hello Poetry

Otis Apr 2018

A dull doll faced mug
Glinted by unknown light
Dried a drip of ancient drink
Dripped down quite

Hands clasped tight around
A mug of occult confession
Eyes teared as such
A sorrowful expression

Dappled light through glass
Chair scrapped along floor
Spotted plastic tablecloth
Shut tight wooden door

Homemade woollen tea cosy
Lumps of bricked sugar
Kettle whistling dolefully
Clicking stained cooker

Futile arms waving
Closed taught eyes
Sigh of calming thoughts
"Please, no more lies"

Moment

Looking into your hazel eyes I found a new world
I learned what it was like to find someone
Who wants every part of you for themselves
I know even now sitting here telling myself
That my heart can't afford to face darkness again
That surely there is going to be a moment
Where you'll look into my eyes
Grab my hands and wrap your fingers between mine
Hold me tight through the night
Wake up in the morning and look at me generously
As your body sinks into mine
And I will fall completely for you
And I will forget what it is like to be alone.

Part of my "Infinite Parts" series, dedicated to you.

Public transportation

Rumbling seats, walls and sounds.
Gleams of light
Hold me tight

Please..

Hold Me Tight or Don't

Holá, "I never really feel a thing, I'm just kinda too frozen"
Only you, "you were the only one that ever came close."
Loving you is the best... "And another
Day goes by, So hold

Me tight or don't. Oh no, this isn't how our story
Ends." "I

Took too many hits off this memory,
I* need to come down."
Gonna love you forever and
Hold you
Tight no matter what!

"Oh na na na na na na na...."
"Realized I can't not be with you Or be just your friend."

Down to be with you and
Only you! You're the love of my life
"Na na na na,*" I'm never coming down from
This love!

Hold Me

Dont forget to hear my plea
Hold me tight when I am dangling free
When the ground below is not willing to hold my feet
and the sky above has refused to envelope my being in its deceit....

Sleepless

Heavy heartbeats
                         Exhausted body. Everything hurts...
          Muscles cramping, tightening, dying
                 Headache pounding. Empty thoughts

Haven’t slept much lately..it hurts

Regrets

There was that changing moment
When every second was fleeting

When your hand dropped for the last time
And when my heart took a stop

In that white-colored room with bare sunlight to catch
Machines all over you and chords on your hand

That moment when you gave out your last smile
Closed your eyes never to open

I awoke with a terrible nightmare
And I held you tightly so you wouldn’t leave

You wondered why I was acting so weird
It’s just that I keep forgetting

We regret the things we couldn’t hold onto
Because when it’s gone there’s no way for it to come back to you.

I recently woke up to a terrible nightmare.

Clutch

fingers grasp around you
the ribs of my embrace
slicing solitude in ribbons
wrapping new flesh
with shy promises
filling up the body
of a possibility
its youthful iridescent eyes
now blossoming
giving out near-future sparks
to the world-pyre
