Perdue Poems Apr 2019
I
dove
Into roses
Expecting petals
But found
Razored
Thorns
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
Though plunged in dark
I await the return
With doves and larks
Of the rising sun
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
Two birds in lovely willow lay
In shining spring
with sun do play
Never parted

Two birds in lovely willow lay
In shimmering summer
Though sun does weigh
Never parted

Two birds in lovely willow lay
In amber autumn
A colored display
Never parted

Two birds in lovely willow lay
In whispering winter
A field of white and grey
Never parted
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
Beautiful buds bloom in sunlight
under constant care and comfort
yet
in darkened, deprived depths, do some buds bloom
ever exquisite, ever more lovely
than the surface-level, flimsy flirty flowers
whose roots grown go grazing
but barely below the Earth
True beauty is not skin deep
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
Should all the tears
of all the world
be gathered into one pool
to share equally
I should think
many
would take their own tears
and go
You are not alone in your tears.
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
take me softly as you please
take me roughly as you need
take me break me but when you leave
leave a piece left for me
Perdue Poems Apr 2019
Take me somewhere
where soft-dropped pins
make the loudest sounds
