She is speaking to us
Warning us
Advising us
Comforting us
Helping us
We just have to listen
We are all her children

She’s been telling us about the planet
Warning what will come
Showing us
With storms
Droughts
Fires
Extreme heat
We just have to listen
We must listen

She’s been crying for us
For all the creatures that live here
For the forests
Plants
She’s been begging us
To change
To stop
To respect what’s here
The planet
The boundaries between us
And them
All we have to do is listen
Then change our ways
Mother knows best

My Dear Poet
Because you’re upside down
in my mind
You may as well change the light
Or keep us blind
As we sit here in my head
all night

My Dear Poet
My laces are loose
and although it’s comfortable for my toes
It’s been breaking my back

My Dear Poet
If I can do with words
what your lips do with kisses
The pen will be a weapon
the poem becomes your weakness
So wean these words willingly
the way I hold to your lips
and savour the “ I Love You”
and kiss me, like this

I slept through mountains
I slept through seas
I slept through rivers
And forests of trees

I slept through my childhood
I slept through the night
If I sleep through the darkness
Will I sleep through the light?
Psych ward poetry.
Set 3, poem 12.
I am but
one star
in the
universe
that you
deserve.
I am but
a rain's
puddle
when
it is
the ocean
that you
need to
swim in.
Wish
upon me.
Dance
and jump
within me.
I long
to be
enough
for thee.

You covered me
with a carpet of flowers
clean and bright
pink and white
fragrance light
on the summer air
fine words were said
many tears were shed
but you keep your guns
and I’m still dead

The irony of my life:

I don't want to socialize,  
yet I want to be recognized!
My life's irony ...

What's yours?
