Poems | By Me

Pulse

She thinks on her own

expanding constricting

dull in sound

skips a beat

then she doubles

Follows no rhythm

Or maybe it's a bit off

She turns violent

Strangles the flow

Disrupts the song

Shh. . .

Listen to her speak

The story maker

Story keeper

She yells

In a silent panic

Then she calms

Vibrates within

Pulsing slowly

Now

She's hard to find

Knot Untied

When you closed your eyes, did you see the knot as it untied?

I stared at closed doors with restraint,

while listening to the ticking of faceless watches telling the time.

When I heard your voice, a small part of me died.

I don't know if it was my place to explain,

but close your eyes, did you notice the knot as it untied?

The knot was our love, its demise, we're dying

Forgotten was the strength, the partnership we tried to gain.

In a daze, I listened to the ticking of faceless watches telling me the time.

Failure after failure and all you did was stand by,

watching, waiting yet again.

I close my eyes; the knot is close to being untied.

Lies, misery, and deceit lived in your eyes.

I got rid of you, the frustration and unnecessary pain.

When I closed my eyes, the knot was fully untied.

Listening to the ticking comfort of faceless watches telling me the time.

*these are 2 of the 3 poems I read in class today. Everyone had their own interpretations of them, which were cool and all but no where near what I had in mind when I wrote them. It's all goodie tho.
