Poetry Dump

14 February 2013
Posted by soulconstance  
[i]Did you forget what I gave you?
My shattered wings frozen to your lips,
fluttered in my mind as you sleep -
little doilies resting on the coffee table she says
they make the world a little more worth
throwing your sadness into a little jar
so that you can tuck it away into the darkness
where it can grow into a friend
that gnaws as your...

A Pile of Poetry

18 October 2010
Posted by soulconstance   in Multiple Poems
[i]In the light
hindsight explodes
or implodes or dances or screams
the reality of
logic.
I forgot to relive
memories that spin
'like the exorcist on speed'.

Through the sour waves
to the sandy shore
of believing
that smiles mean everything
to everyone.
I forgot to speak
and to listen
that cobras...

It's You...

09 September 2010
Posted by soulconstance  
[i]I can't believe it's you
hiding behind the bushes
late at night with sunglasses on.
Because the reality is
that it's truly you
in my room at night,
sneaking through the window,
the stranger in the dark
with a ski-mask on. You're:
the people who ran the daycare
I went to as a young child,
the father of my best friend growing...

Thank You Snake

07 September 2010
Posted by soulconstance   in Multiple Poems
[i]Thank you from my head to my toes
for putting me between a rock and
a rail of spikes that is by you
juxtaposed to my swollen, beating face.
Wrapping, wrapping a shoe lace
around my throat, to be a hanging puppet
to forget the future or my hippocampus -
cut by your eyes, waxed by your hand
and waning inside by the sun and moon.

Thank you from...

Monster & Mouse

17 August 2010
Posted by soulconstance   in Multiple Poems
[i]You're a monster with red hair,
and red blood, and red skin with
thick smoke shooting from your red ears,
and fake fire bursting from your red mane.
You're a monster that makes the red rain,
black with my blood and my blue pain,
purple with anger that I turn on myself.
You're a red monster with red hate...
and your red rubs off on...

Genderless

13 August 2010
Posted by soulconstance   in Single Poems
[i]I want to escape this gender cage.
Let me know what it feels to be real.
I don't want to feel like a liar,
I don't want to feel like a cheat.
I want to feel this soul concrete.
Wrap me up in your arms, lift me higher.
I know that I do not have to conceal,
to be this royal and regal sage.

I want to dance in this freedom.
Let me look...

The Devil

23 July 2010
Posted by soulconstance   in Single Poems
[i]I know what it means to have sympathy for the devil.
I walked beside him, holding his hand.
I kissed his lips, smiled as I looked into his eyes.
I laid next to him night after night,
and held him as he confessed his sins.

Once upon a time, I loved the devil.
I gave to him pieces of me
that I had never given to anyone.
I spoke freely of my...

10 2009-2010 Poems

Circumstances

In between the circumstances
of you and me are the curtains that
leave us to bleed on your sofa,
but you decree that it has to be
you and me
between the unpleasant trees.

Posted by soulconstance   in Multiple Poems
I'd Rather Float

[i]Jump headfirst into this dismal light,
a swimming pool filled by plight.
Take your shadows with you!
Those angels cursed with flight
will show you down the rabbit hole
one more time, everything is wrong.
I'm not real, you were right.
Safe for now by hurricanes bellow you
I'll drink in all of these...

The Fox Howl

The day squeezed through
the nights, tainted into.
Foxes howled?
Since when or where?

"She cried and it
sounded there."
Let me explain.

Trigger Warning

Warning: Some of my poetry and prose may be triggering. I write just about as much about survivor issues as I do about love.
Please keep yourself safe.
