Ease Me Now

Fri, 05/14/2010 - 00:56 — Shari Inniss-Grant

The leaves drift and blow away

As the November wind moves and calms my soul

Wiping my tears from my face

Drying them, leaving only a very faint trace

My heart is broken in two

He's six feey under, but he was only five years young

And I stand here, delivering this poem to you

Saving Me

Tue, 05/11/2010 - 01:08 — Shari Inniss-Grant

One wrong move could shatter me
But God, I wish you would break me
I just want to live beyond myself
Beyond these limitations I've found, or founded
I wish you would take me in your arms
Or maybe I'm thinking of the prince of last night's romance novel
I wish you would ruin me, thoroughly
Because if you broke me God would have to remake me
And for a while I'd be free
I wish could escape you
And the air I breathe
And the body I wear
And the face I have

The End

The End

She stood atop the lighthouse, wind wiping through her hair, the brutal rain soaking her and mixing with her tears. She looked and watched the waves crash against the jagged rocks below. Looking up at the sky, she screamed out.

"God! Why would you let this happen to me! I did nothing wrong?"

Love At First In-sight

Fri, 05/16/2008 - 01:00 — Lee-Anne Browne

Love At First In-sight

It wasn’t love at first physical sight
I was love at first in-sight
When you showed me who you are inside
When you brought me into your world
And accepted mine,
That’s when I fell in love with you
It wasn’t the sexy lips
Nice smile or any physical trait
Although they are a sight to behold
It was me, getting to know you
And you getting to know me
And finding that compatibility
Which created a sure bond
That’s what made me fall in love with you
It was your kind words
Your acceptance of me
Your release of your mask

Opportunity Knocks

Opportunity Knocks

In the midst of asses full of cellulite, dimple-splattered thighs and bikini tops stretched to maximum capacity to support saggy breasts, she stood tall. Water glistened and trickled down smooth suntan-lotioned legs, yet her steps were so delicate that they barely left a footprint in the sodden sand. Her strong, muscled thighs clenched and contracted as she fought with the strong current and when the waves crashed, so did my heart. I knew I had found my queen.

Saving Grace

Saving Grace

When Grace first saw the woman sitting on the bench by the creek, she made her skin crawl.

is this our life now?
computers,
impersonal
communication,
everything
watered down
to binary

Language
dying,
true intimacy
dwindling,
literature
reduced
to txt spk

TV drones
iPhone zombies
society
sliding
to idiocy

crumbling pyramids
fiddling
while Rome burns
txting our way

Closure

Sun, 05/31/2009 - 23:14 — Narkissos

Closure
Clear as night:
Openly obscure, her
No means yes;
Timid whore;
Red strapless dress
Offers her, an escape from
Life.


A game of dress-up
On the stage
Of life
She stages coups,
He leaves his wife
To be her slave;
Vagina-Mage,
Casts her spell.


"Abracadabra!"

Page As Refuge

Tue, 03/18/2008 - 01:00 — Lee-Anne Browne

Page As Refuge

Uninspired yet again,

But somehow drawn to write

To inscribe upon this page my inner thoughts

Shall I converse with page?

The ever silent recipient of words, meanings, thoughts

Never once offering solace in words

But provides sanctuary in the act of receiving

In the lack of ridicule and scorn

It offers peace of mind and serenity

It is never torn down by the weight of thoughts

If ever it feels the burden of my pain

Silently it echoes reassurance of strength
