11/4/12A Poem by rhoadesFrom the more violent month.
quickens my breathing
choking, lungs exploding tempest brewing in my chest winds a-blowing in fields of red; poppies-drugs and dreams my blood is burning to splatter on the wall my head let's crack it open sometimes i get aches and i feel like i'm seeing the world through tissue paper. --smash my brains in that's where the real demons are, honey cry an ocean, there's no one to care. flip a switch and smile pick yourself off the cold bathroom floor pull on some clothes; wipe your eyes sink into the bruises the kisses, the wants let's break the bones one by one i'll leave you, then broken, battered, completely spent. heart and mouth agape irises frightful at the sight staring into God itself... No one ever really rescues the princess-- sorry baby, love, Sleeping Beauty; but sadness ain't pretty and these things are eternal. © 2013 rhoades |
