Poem: Jane Austen's Life Hack

Gray one poem, Black one poem or all one poem, madness in the mixing

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, how cliche, to yearn and pine                                (Oh, how cliche)

To linger awkwardly, toe the line,                                (to moan and whine)

When words, breath and thoughts combine                (to bury deep)

I am swooning, clutching chest                                   (this truth I find)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Oh, what the fool I seem to be                                       (Oh taste of muse)

To duck and dodge, to turn and flee                             (and smells of pine)

yet still I sigh impatiently,                                             (Like fingertips inside my mind)             

 

{waiting for auras to collide}                                {Ensnares thoughts unknowingly}

                                                                                        

Though I admit I to wish to kiss                                     (Hesitate, struggle, resist)

Delicate brows and dewy lips                                         (It buds at the root of play and jest)

Better to take to pen than to transgress                       (Feigning false indifference)?

and rush like wind to folly                                               (Shows how deeply one is ruled)

                                                                                       

                                                                                          





Poem:Lunacy (or how to lose composure)

 




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like laces

    Tied and tumbling
    
                              Mute
 

Like laces tied and tumbling

Stagger, fits and starts

Like laces tied I am stumbling 

               Frozen.

Caress the sky with gaze                                                                                                                                             The earth pulled out from under me                                                                                                                                 I don't know what to say
