Finally, after so many years of dreaming… You know, the kind where you lay in bed just imagining, making up worlds and places, I can now say that I do have a poetry book.
The poems tell a story in 20 of them, separated into ACT I and ACT II.
I use the help of AI for punctuation (I do change some things) and the help of Grammarly to do my own edits, while they don’t replace editors I do have to make do with free-to-use tools currently.
Poetry Book no. I ACT II
In the Beginning
In the dim flickering light
Of the oil lamp on my bedside table
I am Drunken on wine,
Thoughts about him,
Which intoxicates me more,
I cannot tell.
But I grip onto a quill,
As if
Writing poetry about him…
Was my only saviour.
a Fire Was Lit in Her Heart
And I wish
That my poetry was a flammable fluid,
With words spilling from my fingertips,
The smell of petroleum,
The light of a match,
Set his world
On fire.
and She Feared Him Fading
So,
Today,
I wrote a poem,
Crippled by my fear
That he will fade
Into the cruel passing of time,
Forgotten,
Lost,
Like my admiration,
Rotting,
Ten feet under.
So She Wrote a Poem
So, can you see now…
That I have lost my mind?
The sea of emotion has swallowed me whole,
And oh sweet mother of mine,
Can you tell?
Your daughter,
Doesn’t want to emerge.
Mother, Look at Her
His eyes.
If that was not poetry,
Written in two words…
I
Don’t
Do
POETRY.
With a Prayer on Her Lips
Here I lay,
In the darkness of my room,
Praying to all the Gods that I know,
That someday,
Somewhere,
Someway,
We can meet each other,
And have conversations,
Drunken on wine.
Her Lust Arose
And maybe,
We could…
Share a kiss,
Or two.
Let our worlds
Align.
Dearest Mother, She Is Going To See Him
Dearest mother,
Today I did my face,
Subtly,
And garishly.
My cheeks the colour of peonies,
And my face pale from fear.
My eyes swollen from the arsenic…
I haven’t slept in days.
Petrified, Avoiding His Eyes
So,
I stood there…
My garments drenched,
Just like when I was a child
Standing barefoot in our garden,
With rain falling down my skin.
Waiting,
Deluged by poetry untold,
Choking on words,
I could not make rhyme.
With Belladonna in Hers
Like a maiden in love,
With my eyes glistening
In the lights above my head,
As if he was the belladonna to my pupils
I was a deer caught in headlights…
And he was
The definition
Of poetry.
