Cavemen knew better
Than to take stars for granted
They danced for their light
Zoe Mae Sep 2021
You're a wistful song
A melodious medallion
You have a willful soul
no one is allowed in

Your words, how they dance
My silver-tongue strays
Lulled into a trance
which could last for days

Because I know this song
You composed it for me
It's not where I belong
but it's where I want to be

The arithmetic of murky waters
Is not so clear

Neither are my chances of survival

Here is me
Face down in urgent sea

My wave
My grave
My gateway, perhaps

Whatever the consequence
Suffering is the new salvation

It all adds up
Sum how?
Sum way?

And if I was your ship
Destined to flounder
In the wide open drink

You'd re-enter the equation
And find a way to pull me through

Just so we could once more
Make the hurting count

My Dear Poet
A poem half made
is like bread still dough
like a bed unmade
like half a mo
A poem half done
is like a shade of day
with half the sun
A kiss, an inch away
A poem undone
Is a four moon phase
a count to one
a ‘mil’ out of place
A poem half finished
is like a tin of spinach
still unopened
and an expired usage
A poem not a
Now that that’s out of my system…
Zoe Mae Sep 2021
I don't want to be one writer
I want to be 10
I don't want to be a genie
locked in a pen
I want to be you
I want to be me
Most of all
I want to be free
Zoe Mae Sep 2021
A promise made
A promise kept
A leap of faith
You could regret
But with starry eyes
You blindly step
Into murky waters
You may have wept
Zoe Mae Sep 2021
She aimed for the stars
But was seduced by Saturn
No one's seen her since
