My Nights Go On Forever
by Susan K. de Vegter → (All Poetry by Susan K. de Vegter)

Save


My eyes are blurred from senseless dreaming My mind a constant waste My nights are longer than forever My needs are met in haste. The nights grow infinitely darker The shadows are my Muse The days are journeyed nothings In misery I feel abused. My hopes and fears run parallel They beat within my heart My shine is rusted saline tears They come and go...then start. Busted open ribbon wrapped Token kisses all now trapped For memories all displaced and gone Chills run tremors to my bones. Knees tucked high beneath my chin Long-lipped lines where smiles have been Sparks of azure turned to grays Gone the nights with misted days. Happenstance of a ghost Forayed rape of the coast Stagnate heart in packaged... wrapped Meets and greets a heart...entraps. Silly, stupid woman-child Get thee up and walk that mile Leave to fester rotting dreams Garaged up with trash and things. Timelines teach a lesson well Foolish Damsel in your Hell Pick your head up from your knees Try a smile and don't you bleed. Learn from this and beckon those Who only stand upon tiptoes To kiss the nose of one this blue Must reach a doilied cloud or two. copyrighted 2002

Excellent poetry.
