My Midnight – (Poe-Estory) 30 days of Poetry excerpts #12

The restaurant was nice and yes full of talk

I got up and excused myself with my oh so sexy walk

The men they eyed and said dame who is she

My midknight turned around and said.

“Oh she’s with me”

Remember in the beginning when I was tempted to say no

Well it’s been 55 years and I’m glad he made me go

Imagine 55 years with just one man

I’m proud to say he still loves me and I’m still his biggest fan

Come sail away with me to a place where pain

Will be no more

Widow – 30 days of Poetry excerpts

I am childlike from these moans

My pen and paper have turned stones

From the weight of this wind

And death has become my companion

Featured Poet Kwame Dawes – Of Me and Men -Poetry excerpt #8

He won’t know
How easily we arrived here
Playing beats in the half light
Won’t know that I have washed these sheets today
And I will again tonight

If I could sculpt myself a tear

I’d make it audible

Allowing even the deaf to hear

Drowning – 30 days of Poetry excerpts #6

I’ve been drowning in a smile

Lie so false pedestrians can see it for miles 

And my heart refuses to sail a ship

Slanted smile across my lips

Tears grew branches
And wrapped themselves
Into open wounds
And breathing

Became difficult

Nauseous – 30 days of poetry excerpts #4

Nauseous from all the sour men I’ve eaten

Understanding my belly more because of them it’s deepened

Watching others cope by cutting while I watch the blood seeping

Tired from this nod spend all my time sleeping

I’ve been confused, panicked and afflicted

Poor me another so I become estranged and addicted
