A Few Short Poems

Terrorist

You came from nowhere
with a bomb strapped to your heart
hoping to explode.

I write

I write because
sometimes it hurts
and I need love
beyond a person's touch.

Observe My Hue

Observe my hue
fading to a grey
and then chalk white;
written on a sidewalk
in the rain.

  4. Interesting...this needing love beyond a person's touch. When we try on words, we expand our wardrobe, while at the same time inviting others into our closet. Ah...there, I've said it. The closet. So much hides in there. To love it, is to love me.

    1. Thanks, Jae. I'm usually pretty crazy over how to order things. Glad it worked out :)

  7. Good stuff! I connected most with "I write." I feel similarly.
