I’ll shatter another wishbone
If it means you’ll answer the phone
I’ll scour for pennies on this deserted street
If I’ll be lucky enough for us to meet

I’ll stay up all night gazing for a shooting star
If I can rest my feet on the dash of your car
I’ll pluck every eyelash from my eyes
If it means I can wish away all the lies

But the dandelions won’t work
You’re throat is sealed with a cork
I’ll still wish for one more kiss
Don’t you see? It’s you I miss.

A shadow of a man ******* up space
Pressed suits & cufflinks without a face
No emotion just a ghost of a man
Hovering closer to an empty plan

A wife at home with a hot dinner
Ignorant she is feeding a sinner
She ignores the smell of perfume
For fidelity is what she’d rather assume

Stuck in this vacuum space
Tangled in work and ***** lace
He never looks up from his plate
So consumed in cold hate

A shadow of a man- what a pity
Washed down the gutter in the city
The only one who will miss
Is the daughter he forgot to kiss

Racing through blood
Man made substances flood
Of expanded pupils, raised hairs
High heels tripping up the stairs

Burnt black fingertips
Love bitten, swollen lips
Cigarette littered floor
Empty morals learn to soar

Smoke hazed sight
An internal fight
To stand up straight
It’s all sealed by fate

Tick Tock
Trapped in a
Dead Lock
With inevitable ticking of
A Clock
Staring at me
It'll mock
my waste of time
Knock, Knock**
It's death

Wring me out
I’m sick of
All the doubt
That love
Brings
Tallulah Oct 2012
I don’t cry anymore
I listen to the rain instead
& Count the syllables of words unsaid
Listening to your carefree snore

I don’t feel anymore
I just stare at the ceiling
Your body in front of me kneeling
Falling into myself once more

I don’t care anymore
Since I looked into your eyes
& Listened to all of your crooked lies
I’m not me anymore

Oh,
Sugar
Tendencies
To kiss those lips
Those hard candy hips
Delicately hot wrists
Floating chocolate freckles
& your bones like vanilla cream
I gulp up your every last sickly drop
Syrupy voice that still sticks in my mind
Conversations like a sweet nectar
A taffy tongue that twists & turns
I sip at your words like wine
But it can never be
Baby don’t you see?
I’m completely
Enamored
With a
*Girl
My first try with a syllabic poem- an etheree.
