The Post Poetry

The Post Poetry is a space where you can find beautifully handwritten & designed poems from poets and artists alike. The idea behind this space is to create a meaningful and intimate connection between the poems and the readers, since often such connection is lost when presented as typed text. Poets can submit collage, poems written on postcards, letters, scanned from notebooks, designed, drawn on a canvas, or even hand stitched on quilt! Anyone can submit to the Post Poetry. Submissions are very open, so get creative. Submit your poem to the blog by clicking submit poetry, or email your submissions to [email protected]. You can also find the guidelines for submissions there as well.

Love letters written in invisible ink; messages in bottles that didn’t float. May my most sincere words never be discovered…

3 A.M. Musing

I never knew why people got drunk to forget

Until you fell out of love with me.

My mom told me we are not the reflection

Of those who don’t know how to love us.

But your fucking face is still burned on to

The insides of my eyelids

And I promise you no amount of cold showers

Will help you wash off the sleep

From your tired soul.

I’m the type of tired that sleep can’t fix

And I can feel you’re not whole;

I’m rubbing off on you.

It could have been any one of us

Who hasn’t done stupid shit

at night? during the day?

sober? drunk? else?

It’s not about us.

The pain of watching parents shoveling soil

on the grave of the kid.

That shouldn’t happen. That’s not normal.

You left. And they are left with with a scar in the lungs

that will remind of itself with every inhale,

with every exhale

Never has day or night, despite all tears,

Withheld the solemn beauty of a dream;

Yet the sorrows of what is lost, and ghastly fears,

Remain, forever it seems, to violently scream.

The fear of times to come prevails at dawn.

Uncertainty claims the dusk with pride, and casts

A veil of wonder to torment the heart.

With Stomachs crying for food, and Mouths too tired to eat

and Minds too full to any longer indulge,

The wisps of cigar smoke carried on its wing their confessions to God. 

Their sins danced around them, on repeat,

shadows lingering, twirling, cast by the fire of their hearts.

Their drinks, a chalice of memories

Exasperated by ignorance and exhausted by intelligence 

engrossed by rebellion and enticed by a silence,

One of the men then yelled,

then hushed, he whisper

                                  “oh God, my God, dear God…

                                                                                      …how i miss her.”

Troubled Men

every surface has become so slippery,

riding on a track of trouble shaped as infinity,

another animals skin on his skin,

trying to keep all the bothered thoughts in,

another animals skin on his skin,

trying to keep all the sultriness in.

Willing to pass through once more, hurt the night before I was near the wall that was a door and I could see my own shape, or,

so far as I knew, the casket foretold to the bones I felt them move about and this I know: If it matters to the living  take your muse a little beyond where touch is ready for the light. Love as though the Spirit is not asking permission then feel stronger instantly… Stronger.

Go and then effect punctuation. Heal us. Is he on the case? Don’t you see the letters?
