She Buries Dead Birds

Yep =p

You and I

We have had some adventures

And I’ve walked up and down roads

                Paved the color black

Countless times

With you at my side

 

But it will never cease to amaze me

How your earth colored eyes are so in tune

With

                Nature

 

“It’s not much”

You’d say

“But even pigeons deserve respect”

 

You burry dead birds

With hopes flowers may grow from their skulls

Much like the ones that grow from your

                Very own

 

I wish I had your empathy

                For pigeons

But see

You have a humming bird in your heart

So maybe they’re just another

                                Family

 

But then again

I think your puzzle pieces

                                Suit

The ocean

Your earth and my sky blending seamlessly

Trapped in never ending anti-gravity

Entangled with squids

Allowing diamonds to infuse with our

                                Skin

                                (Yours has been kissed by sunlight)

                -Mine has been bruised by moonlight-

 

 

I’m in love with the spaces in your mind

You spend time filling with surrealistic images

                You put down on paper

While your eyes dance to fractals beneath shade trees

                In March

You’re right

It has been a weird couple of weeks

Since you

                My earth girl

Are finally 18

 

But I’d argue

It’s been one weird a*s year

But earth girl

                You know better than anyone

Weird isn’t all

                                Bad

God...there are so many great lines in this poem. Your style is very much like mine. In your placement and in your careful choice of words and imagery. Maybe that's why I like this poem so much.

This is just one example of the things I liked about this piece. And the part about being in love with the spaces in the other person's mind, "fractals beneath shade trees"...such a great piece of imagery. This is going into my favourites. And you have no idea how happy I am to say that. It's been a while since anything has captured my heart enough to make me want to do that.

It was my pleasure. I've been unable to write poetry for almost a year now, and I just got back on earlier yesterday in an attempt to get back into it. So, seeing work like this is helping. It's reminding me why I write, and exactly what I'm trying to go for.
