she likes big words

poetry written by women for all who wish to read

gone

hazy daydreams drift through my head 

cicada songs like symphonies

don’t miss me when im gone

Story continues below advertisement

i’ll be gone too long

 

she knows

melodies flow in the wind

to the nearby hearts of listeners

and she cries when she sings

it’s heartbreaking

to know that something so beautiful 

could come from such sadness

 

adrenaline addict 

it’s impossible to know

when the time is right,

or wrong.

the adrenaline is addictive.

regret later,

but never beg for forgiveness.

 

please

my skull opens to expose my brain

the ravens peer inside

and pluck out the little idiosyncrasies 

that make me feel small

and as they do

i sleep and dream of the differences 

in my life

if this daydream were true

 

softly

inhale

deep

two, three, four

exhale

hold

two, three, four 

close your eyes

and softly, 

so softly

expose your soul

to the peculiarity

of the world

 

drift away

try not to think of how odd

and unusual 

you feel

breathe deep, slow

and breathe it away

acceleration 

of blood pumping

thoughts fade

and you will go numb

hopefully not too

but just enough
