Words Mean Things

Sticks and Stones

A knife through the heart

On a warm day

Will your blood bleed warm?

Ā 

A pain in your chest

On a cold day

Will your heart freeze over?

Ā 

The words hang like rocks

On a chain mail

Will they pull you under?

Ā 

If the words are pushed

Through a knife in the heart

Past your chain mail

through your icy chest

Will you survive?

Ā 

Will you stop breathing?

Thank you. Lol. Wasn't expecting anyone to read it. Almost a decade since I wrote poetry last.

Set my heart on your little finger

Does it spin upright

Held up by its own breaking

Ā 

Does it call to your empty spaces

Does sing to your broken dreams

Does it plead to your better nature

Ā 

Does it call

Does it call

Does it call for your mercy

Where your mercy no longer lives

Ā 

Does it sing

Does it sing

Does it sing to you to spare it

When your sparing hears no more songs

Ā 

Does it plead

Does it plead

Does it plead for your heartā€™s mending

Where mending means salvation

Ā 

Set my heart on my little finger

Watch it spin upright

Held up by its own mending

Help Me Forget (unfinished)

Silky soft skin

Warm to the touch

Brown languid limbs

Stretching as I watch

Ā 

A black spot, a perfect blemish

Lips that smile when you sleep

And laugh when youā€™re shy

Lips that part

Ā 

Eyes that blink once

When youā€™re surprised

Twice when youā€™re aroused

Ā 

Breasts that sway

When you dance

Hips that sway

When you dance

Ā 

I want to make you dance.
