My Thoughts

Ambigously brown, ambigously presenting, ambigous at best

[clumsycontessa]

No, I said

It was foolish

"keep the dog buried"

But I couldn't

The visions of life

Of laughter

Of love.

I followed Dr. Frankenstein

And tried to bring you to life

And Damn,

I should have finished reading her story

[clumsycontessa]

Sweet and Careless

A starved bee

lapping at sweet nectar

created without intent or care.

But to the bee,

it was everything

[clumsycontessa]

Don’t Seek

Happiness takes practice

     play with fire

     sing with birds

     chase the ripples on the water

     delve into the secrets underground

You still stalk my dreams

Reminding me how little you cared.

Taunting me with memories -

Your lips, on mine

Glistening in the moonlight,

Arms and legs,

Tangled.

Oh, How my soul raced across the night sky!

Chasing a brilliant sun -

Forgetting that I was the moon,

And now, the earth blocks my view

[clumsycontessa]

What say you?

     said the trickster to the fool,

Was the journey worth the price?

    said she, with avarice in her eyes.

I don’t know,

     replied the fool, her knapsack full.

I still walk this road,

journeying to places unknown.

The trickster grinned,

     joy twinkling in her eyes.

“Good”

Courtship

Longing eyes

Secret smiles

.

gasping breaths

scraping nails

.

gripping hands

waterfall eyes

.

regretful sighs

fading smoke

[clumsycontessa]

The New

Immobile legs

entrenched in mud;

until I danced upon water.

scraps of longing

hidden in my body,

waiting for the spring breeze

     and blaze

nostalgic memories

     discarded

to make room

    for the new -

for you.

Miscommunication

It wasn’t all darkness and stormy weather,

I just thought it was temporary.

I’m a shit weather forecaster.

[princesst-poetry]

I can't be with someone who is unsure about me. I need to know that I am not walking down this path alone. I need to know that you will stick around no matter what

[clumsycontessa]

How could i build a foundation on quicksand?

[clumsycontessa]

Ownership

I control how I feel

     until I can’t

I control how I react

     and it hurts

I control what I say

    but my throat seizes 

I control what I do

    but I can’t reach

I gave my heart

    and it fell on broken glass

[clumsycontessa]

This Land

I live in a land rebuilt by monsters,

Children of narcissistic men who couldn't hold a title

So they took it from the hides if others

I live in a land rebuilt by monsters,

Where the water ran clear, nourishing life

So they turned it to poison and kept the source

I live in a land rebuilt by monsters,

Here the greenery wove in our food, music, and soul

So they took the color and and they took it’s magic

I live in a land rebuilt by monsters,

In a time of change, kept asleep with tranquilizers

But we awake

[clumsycontessa]

Visions

What Do You See?

magic and love sit in our hands

- seeking to be held -

I see your fear

squandering this magic.

I learn from your sight

and I embrace the visions

A Song of Alchemy

I long for my mother's arms

For the comfort I could find

On the chest that never fed me.

The words of wisdom

I never heard her speak

For the arms that once held me

- a touch I don't remember.

She lashes with words

Finding our unbreakable chords

That she uses to crack my soul

- revealing the shadows beneath.

I use the secrets of alchemy,

And the wisdom of the stars,

To calm the tune that she perfectly strikes,

Hoping that our leaden song

Will sparkle in the light
