woundA Poem by Clare Ashburysitting in front of the televisions, i wrote three poems in 15 minutes.......this was the first.
Wounds of regret Sleepy nights of watchful eyes Privacy of panic Thoughts of time and when it’s up Sounds of silence Fear overpowered Black and white dreams Bracelets that hide scars as well as long sleeves Beautiful within images Erotic sensation, pain, all to make me feel alive..Even for a moment Direct intensity through life Lay a pronouncement against me Situations within my unstable environment Sessions of insanity Pawn me off, break my heart Unanswered questions Want me first, smile of easy love Then let me warm up, and abandon me Love poems, love notes, love deeply from the heart Numb to the core, no feeling anymore So many backs turned Hurt me again Trying to dig at the truth Truth be told of my faults, how to finally love One more pill to take off the edge Normalness for a couple of hours Stop looking at me I’m hiding, not realistic I’m dying just like everyone else Desert me Wound me. © 2008 Clare Ashbury |
