Poppy Hymn
As the sun dips low behind the towers
And shadows stretch long with the hours
I watch your fingers as they unfurl
And pluck the tune that drives your world
The pushers do not hear your beat
Their souls have tired with their feet
The users only sound in sighs
Briefly sated with their highs
Mothers hide behind the walls
And fear the day their child will fall
Children watch with eyes too old
Knowing what their future holds
Lovers sway to hide the pain
Believing it won’t be the same
But even they can’t fight the call
That spreads decay among the sprawl
Poison hid in crimson flowers
Pleasure hides your deathly power
They all dance to your melody
That fogs the mind so it won’t see
That they’ve succumbed to the hymn
Of Lovely Lady Heroin

Falling
It was so easy to fall
So easy to leave it all
To set adrift my fears
And live within your thrall
I knew what it would mean
Saw the tarnish through the gleam
Behind the curtain of your lies
To the truths that lay between
And when you’d stripped me bare
Bereft before your stare
I knew you’d pick me up
You wouldn’t leave me there
Beneath the haunted dreams
Your diversions and schemes
I could see your spirit
Longing to be redeemed
Beyond your crumbling walls
In the shadows of your halls
Our naked tune healed the wound
It was so easy to fall
**Man I'm like a writing machine today**

Omg, omg, omg. It looks like my siren song series (possibly up to five poems) will be published at the end of May / early June. My husband kept saying I'll never get published if I don't try so I just said "fuck it" and started submitting things but this is just too much good news for one week. I'm going to explode!

Hide and Seek: A Message From a Hopeful Agnostic
I’ve looked for you in passing faces
Beneath bright and wrinkled eyes
I’ve searched open and crowded spaces
And in contented sighs
I’ve looked in raw and weathered hands
For signs that you were there
In your castles painted grand
But found them strangely bare
I’ve relished the verdant rise of spring
Thinking perhaps you’d show
When peepers peep and robins sing
Of fast retreating snow
I watched as loved ones passed away
And heard them cry to you
If you answered when they prayed
Your voice did not come through
In moments quiet and moments loud
In a lover’s smile
In times weak and in times proud
In the soft touch of a child
In all these places I searched about
But still I could not see
So it’s time that you came out
Olly, olly oxen free
I promise not to take a peek
This I guarantee
Now it’s your turn to seek
I hope you can find me

This one doesn't rhyme which is pretty strange for me. That's just the way this one came out.
Space
Peering through the depths of space
With lenses magnified
Claiming reflection as reality
A wobble as evidence
Of something greater
We stretch our vision outward and upward
Losing sight of our
feet

Holy crap! Congrats! ;D The publishing world is interesting and very often mean. Well done on cracking the nut! I'm still chipping away at it (in spits and spats). Where's it getting published? We'll have another published author at AWR! |

Lol I'm imagining an actual duel where we just say pretty things to one another.

Meditation
I close my eyes
to look inward
Quiet my mind
to listen
Looking for clarity
in the darkness
A flicker
in the black
Seeking knowledge
of movement
in stillness
Concentration broken
by a warm tongue
