I like words, dancing, movies, things that make me laugh, and other stuff. I love food though.

Recycled A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

Wrote this back in January, finally read it out into the world so here's a post :) #love #poetry #grateful #art #space #womensupportingwomen #positivity

Would one astronomical unitIn our tiny galaxyHave been the distance between our hearts,Desire to the powerof momentum over timeOr was it temperature over distance.Would every flux have rechargedor drained away at our compositionsLeaving no space for expansion.What could we have beento the scale of 93 million milesto the years we were bornor the last time civilization died.If energy is massThen…

Delayed: a heartsore outpour

It has been sitting with me,these reports from across the border,they feel so closeI feel it on my skin.To see the effectiveness of hatemongerspropagating false fears to incite violence,manifested into death upon deathlike an everyday normality,this is not a dream.The guns do not need to be,this belief of theirs has left me in disbelief,I will bow to your superiorityif you will let me live,is…

dear ocean (vuong)

The closest thing I've written to a letter recently, to ocean vuong #poet #love #poetry #letter #oceanvuong

Dear Ocean,I can’t tell if your wordsare wasted on me,(or if they were a waste of my time,as our elders would have said,sans pity for you, denial for me.)In and out, pieces of peace,not quite the truth the world sees,undeniably pretty, but I am tiredof romanticizing tragedy.Are you trying to sweepaway, the intimacy of memory,of fluid monstrosities, migrateddeath of domains, and robbed mother…

Bones: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

Bones: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

I mourn in solitude, againfor our elderly and children.This weight is not a reaction,the grief runs in our blood.We can only love and be gracefulbut there is no reconciliationmassacre after massacrecorpses found where new death falls. Guilt must be felt now,not merely performed,reasonable for every empathetic person,more than the rushed burialswith no ceremony.Time may heal just enough for…

an old love poem: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

an old love poem: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

Love is in the harming in those best intentions still left with palmed scars blamed on youth and bad timing but it is also in your fingers weaving light through my hair combing out every distraction moving smooth like water turning into tea a slow steep color of peace a passing flavor on my tongue an old flame one two same out with the smoke that is my love. © Angie Sea 2021

When: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

When: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

When I read “A Long Way Gone” by Ishmael Beah

and was shown worlds beyond my own,

When I read Langston Hughes’ “Daybreak in Alabama”

as a child and started to cry, 

not knowing the weight of race before,

When I read Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech of a dream

and I saw all his comrades march, teaching peace to protest, 

showing the dignity of civil disobedience,

When I read…

Reforming: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

Eggshells scattered in a compostable cenotaph, like things we don’t remember, written in flour. Sugar coated bruises that will develop, as a friendship does, as pictures do. Dehydrated childhood flashbacks evening up the mixture, intoxicated by a repetition while stroking subtle textures. Coated in pleasure carelessly sprinkled on the table, then beaten into paste molded to be molded. The sheets…

Curtain: A POEM BY ANGIE SEA

First piece of 2017 -

Have you trapped yourself trying to articulate gray Alors Beckett I don’t always comprehend but my eyes weep all the same you bicker banter circling squares so much nonsensical purpose so so naturally I’m scared to ponder for too long it’s been too much of too little (Pause.) Are we all beggars of stories blind to all but bind to time seeking sunshine Are we but a topple away from the beginning or…

Infinitely

How does one bear so much love for a stranger in ways, It’s almost like you’re fictional but you’ve made so many days.

Priceless correspondences with endless encouragements, you’re this selflessly deep pool of courage and inspiration.

Faraway muse, your beauty breaks through all the painful silences my relentless savior.

I’m evermore thankful for you and your love, how you bring me music when I…

My Heart's Open: A poem by Angie Sea

My Heart’s Open: A poem by Angie Sea

My heart’s open All of me’s hoping I know there’s more out here And I’m ready to live again Gone are the doubts, the fear. Take it slow take me slow I don’t want to miss a moment of how this could all go I’ve made the mistake of going too fast before, I won’t rush However long it takes for you to make your move First date, first kiss It’ll be worth the wait. © Angie Sea 2016 Thank you for…
