A portrait
(2014)
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
