A couple short poems dedicated to childhood |
*~*Dolls*~* I'm sorry About the dirt on your dress And the tangled curls I can't take care of you You're broken Like the tea pot But your cold skin Is still beautiful I know you're crying But I can't see your tears You're turning to dust *~*Pipecleaner Dreams*~* Burnt Sienna trees Reaching to a robin's egg blue sky Macaroni and cheese colored sunsets With Juicy juice purple stains And clouds made of cotton balls That fade Into a giltter velvet Licorice scented black There are castles Made of popcicle sticks Surrounded by forests of pom poms and felt Where the wild things are *~*Eve*~* A dead smile Lifeless eyes staring back at me Black Like a burnt candle wick No sign of movement Or thought Hair plastered everywhere Covered in dirt and dust And promises of forever Aching to be held once more I pick you up And hold you for the final time Searching for some sign Of the world we once lived in together We walked hand in hand to places I can never go back Not without the parts of me That I left with you I push some of your stuffing back in And run my finger along your fraying seams I let you go To where ever my imagination went |
