"extentions" poems - Hello Poetry

surrendering carbon to carbon  shedding this shell dna to grass  dust to dust   carbon extentions keep on growing  the world keeps spinning  today it feels so slow   if life is dust, mist, nothing then let me cross that river  don't build me a bridge  give me a millstone and rope    i'll die that death, then carry me to the table bring me to the place where I can gaze on nothing else  Your Crown. Your Eyes. Your Scars. Your Face. Your Love. Your Eternity. nothing less   dying that death feels like life  feels like truth  feels like home  feels like breathing for the first time  -in and out, in and out-  every breath is a second chance  to say I love You  to say I need You  to say I want You  to say I'm Yours  to say nothing at all   -in and -"thank You"   finally evergreen now, pass the milk and honey

finally evergreen

surrendering carbon to carbon  shedding this shell dna to grass  dust to dust   carbon extentions keep on growing  the world keeps spinning  today it feels so slow   if life is dust, mist, nothing then let me cross that river  don't build me a bridge  give me a millstone and rope    i'll die that death, then carry me to the table bring me to the place where I can gaze on nothing else  Your Crown. Your Eyes. Your Scars. Your Face. Your Love. Your Eternity. nothing less   dying that death feels like life  feels like truth  feels like home  feels like breathing for the first time  -in and out, in and out-  every breath is a second chance  to say I love You  to say I need You  to say I want You  to say I'm Yours  to say nothing at all   -in and -"thank You"   finally evergreen now, pass the milk and honey

It is the same thing that we are told over and over In all our classes, all our days For one hundred and eighty days on end. In math we are told about the Pythagorean theorem and Pathetic Fallacy~~ But some of us still do not know the value of "X". It is after parents get called from teachers saying that their child is: hyperactive easily distracted unfocused doesn't do the proper thing And that their child, who is brilliant, cannot be in a Level One class. We all have different abilities and thought processes. Why is it that a class full of individuals is tested by all of the same means? Exams are the way society tells you your worth. But it is the same society that: says abortion is wrong but then looks down on teenage parents promotes natural beauty but has models flushed with makeup, hair extentions, false lashes, and nails shows slender people for their weight loss commercial that look like an hour glass already has pastors that preach charity but own jets and sports cars has Imams who preach against greed but are all fat has parents who want their child to get a good education to get a good paying job but hate how rich the neighbors are is run by governments that preach peace but endorse war Has colleges who want smarter kids but increase the tuition What does it mean to "make the mark?" to the kids who study hard and barely miss the target to the kids that know what it feels like to be worth that D or that A when a teacher hands back a test to the kids who are never good enough in their English teacher's eyes to the kids whose writing is missing key literary techniques or was too informal to be understood What does it mean to "make the mark?" to the math teacher who pesters you about trying harder when you can't tell them "X" but can tell them the date of any war to the science teacher who tells you to know the periodic table and yells in distress of their 'worst student' We're told everything that we learn we'll use the information again but never do when we walk out the door. They try to prepair you for the world, but they don't prepair you for life. always being the second best not getting the scholarship that you needed to go to college not getting the solo on your last concert night. not being able to make the mark What does it mean to "make the mark?"

Corn strands like extentions in your hair worn loose around your naked shoulders, the flowers on your dress bunched up revealing the warmth of sun kissed thighs. I watch your bussom rise and fall as you lean back against the bales your hand stretched out beckoning me to make hay whilst the sun shines.

Making Hay

Corn strands like extentions in your hair worn loose around your naked shoulders, the flowers on your dress bunched up revealing the warmth of sun kissed thighs. I watch your bussom rise and fall as you lean back against the bales your hand stretched out beckoning me to make hay whilst the sun shines.
