Take me somewhere
where soft-dropped pins
make the loudest sounds
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
see the people rivers
    look how they flow         
             from place to place                          
            do you think they know            
                             the winding path they follow  
                                      like water in a brook
                    passing over every bend
every rock and every hook    
     do they know the traveled path                              
more than any babbling creek              
                          or are they like the grains of sand          
                                               flowing in the river weak  
                               are people in the people river         
                                       like little drops of rain                                       
                       or are they like the river                                        
every one the same

beat goes my heart
in my caged chest
pounding
reaching

closer
please

beatbeat goes my heart
sparks become inferno
my tongue aflame
calls your name

answer
please

beatbeatbeat goes my heart
pink roses on your cheeks
a scarlet tulip below your nose
silky soft and sweet

stay
please

beatbeatbeatbeat goes my heart
my unlocked passion roaring
as my cheeks I feel are growing
red upon my face

love me
please
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
My head is filled with black-striped bees
Bizzing and buzzing as they please
The world's a thund'ring 'fall
Roaring its loud call
Life's a tornado
Then I see
Silence
You

Perdue Poems Apr 2019
Simple Silence of the night
How in you I delight
When life has ceased and nature lay
Awaiting news of morning day
I sit and wait in absent light
Wanting you, most marv’lous sight

For when dawn arrives
To awake our lives
We rise and shatter silence
Oft not with words but acts of violence
Yet in this quiet, no crime is wrought
And the world is calm, deep in thought

I sit in silence, like a glassy sea
Upon the waves of tranquility
In this moment, all alone
I am present, I am home
But then I start and stir with fright
A blissful face now doused in white

Simple Silence of the night
How in you I delight
Yet in your presence I forgot
Of all my loved ones dear to heart
So simple silence of the night
To you I bid goodnight
