a new poem: “Tears” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

For your tears I listen and I wait.

Do they know your beauty? Your grace?

Do they know of your love? Your hate?

Do they know what was said in that place?

Between two who could not be one,

but instead desired being none.

a new poem: “Ghosts” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

I squeezed myself small

from the ghosts I hoped to hide.

My parents misunderstood why I cried

never seeing the intruders at all.

new poem: “Heartache” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

Paint as many layers over your heart as you desire.

Who is to say it needs to remain as prior.

Except…

A change in color matters very little

to something you believe so brittle.

new poem: “Why now?” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

Why now?

Everywhere I go, a stream of words.

Everything I do, a river of words.

Everything I feel, a flood of words.

Again I ask,

“Why now?”

new poem: “Wedding day” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

On the playground we were wed.

I was waiting for your sister,

but found you instead.

We exchanged vows of self-defeat.

We threw a bouquet no one could eat.

For us, everyday went on repeat.

I still think of that day.

You and I clad in grey,

every raindrop waiting for its day.

And I say:

Was it always destined to float away?
