"touchup" poems - Hello Poetry

Watching smoke curl in the sky A simmer reflection, a residue of death stealing life The scent of sweet burning arrives Between breaths misting predawn light A womb collects dead children We hear them shrink and shiver Their limbs atrophied, their eyes wide Every kiss is wildfire Every yearning is weathered Like the shedding paint on the boards outside That needed a touchup, a lifetime ago Every touch is parched Every trust is dystopian The flesh departs from neuronal collections Untraceable to the heart inside No daughters, no sons No lovers, no love No affection, connection; truth or simple trust No daughters, no sons No lovers, no love No future No hope

dead children

Watching smoke curl in the sky A simmer reflection, a residue of death stealing life The scent of sweet burning arrives Between breaths misting predawn light A womb collects dead children We hear them shrink and shiver Their limbs atrophied, their eyes wide Every kiss is wildfire Every yearning is weathered Like the shedding paint on the boards outside That needed a touchup, a lifetime ago Every touch is parched Every trust is dystopian The flesh departs from neuronal collections Untraceable to the heart inside No daughters, no sons No lovers, no love No affection, connection; truth or simple trust No daughters, no sons No lovers, no love No future No hope

.. her stained hands clasps ..a dab of makeup felt stainless .. fabulous touchup we must say She: ... believed in alone Distantly from this polluted star Distance from the captivity Distances are farthest away When pain is the experience Plenty of space in her heart for distinctivness where it does the gravity pulls us apart where does the sea stop in a sky warped.. distinct creativity and cultivating luminously as does the creature He comfronts her well-being devotedly to her charisma she sang and wonderfully blessed in a toughness that vowed himself a creature a creative man in a way a bit certainly known to be that simple touch ...certainty ....dismantle the serinity into you .. dismemberment . remember you're honor CREATURE of the Night.. stare at her as if it were impossible with those crystalized steerling chimney smoked eyes whimpering at her witherment; Either way he's a creature she'd think about along .in the ending .. designed for each-other ...part or take from hand to life Start Creature Run but don't be afraid After-all After-hours: if we close the door the night could last forever ~Classy that everything we have is gone and all that we need stands strong and all that we haven't gotten stays simply strange enough to remain a creature After-life; If you close your heart your death could remain a mystery but the creature in your soul makes it up; the creature in your system messed-up .. PM: CLOSED; Clouds are closing in on me like a volture just like a big giant reluctant egale ;Creature! Type of thing that the evilness couldn't find.
