The bitter winter
is creeping into my soul.
Veins that lead to my heart
slowly crystalizing.
My insides are as frigid
as the season.
Nothing I can do
but await the thaw.
The summer that lies
in your hands
your lips
your breath
the only remedy
capable of melting
the ice.
I’ll mark my calendar
with x’s
as I count down the days
for summer’s arrival
wishing for the warmth of you to melt all the pain away.
I took a stroll
down childhood streets
put my face to the asphalt
listening to the extinct sounds
of frivolous possibility.
I turned corners
threading fingers
in wire-link fences
a feeble attempt
to touch times past.
I watched as
my old bedroom window
sat, alone in the dark.
Not remembering
the growing pains
I stumbled through.
Instead, I think
I laid there with her
the last conversation
with her
before she died.
A light from inside
warms the sidewalk
a yellow is born
in shadows.
I depart
this unfamiliar place
hands buried deep
in empty, lint-lined pockets.
Someone’s home.
Not my home
because it’s not her home
anymore.

The words may rise from my throat
a silent echo
sprout from my fingers
violent, yet delicate tendrils
grow legs, long and wiry
across my page.
But, to say them
to speak them, freely
is something entirely other.

I AM fraught
with thought.
This I know
to this I’ll freely admit.
But, crazy, my dear—-
I am not.

-freesoul asked: your welcome, i love your poetry<3
:) I love your poetry as well. There’s always something in each of your poems that I can connect to.
recycledpages-deactivated201102 asked: I just wanted to stop in and say HI :)
How sweet! Hello to you, too. I hope everything is well with you. :) I have to read up on your posts, these technical difficulties that Tumblr has had has made me miss out on quite a bit. :/
I’ve been there
where you are
at the top.
Nice, isn’t it?
Lucky was not a word
that crossed my mind.
(Stupid me.)
It just was.
Now, I’m looking for some help
(I won’t say it out loud, though.
Too proud.)
do you mind
giving me a lift back up?
Once I get to the top again
I’ll thank you
and my lucky stars as well.
Let me know, no rush.
Just a little wish
from the girl
at the bottom.
roxsoxx asked: how long have you been writing for?
and i like your about me section... :)
Since I could form coherent thoughts with them. Writing, as much as I’ve tried to ignore it (bury it, forget it), is as much a part of me as my eyes, my smile, my bones.
Thanks, I’m glad you like it! :)
And, now, a question for you! Why wasn’t I following you already? I just browsed your page, you have beautiful things to say. Well, I’ve remedied that problem. Look forward to reading your posts. :)
