These are poetry drafts. I consider all my poetry in a constant state of drafting, some with revision ongoing, others merely gathering dust. Some have been published but will still be considered drafts.

N.B. When these posts were imported I noticed some of my reblogs also got pulled in. It should be ovious from the contents that they are reblogs from other writers. I am in the process of removing those posts.

Mute

I have a voice
though its purpose
is unclear
If no one hears
my words
are they
words or
mere thoughts
in my head
If no one reads
my words
are they
wasted thoughts
and
the
time
better
spent
asleep
dreaming
of a voice that
can make a
difference

BE

Be be be, be my queen bee
I’ll be whatever you want me to be, be your bee, forever be your bee
Be your jelly in your cell, feed on me, your bee
Don’t be silly, tie me down and let me be your jelly, be free, just be my queen bee
Be be be, be my queen bee
My queen bee
B

NO HYSTERESIS

What hope remains
for those among us
where years go past
before courage exceeds
the threshold of fear
to finally open
their hearts?

BLACK+WHITE=?

Still I am, so still, so quiet

So unknowing, rarely showing – my wicked sides

So different, you won’t get me by mere sight – sniff me out or take a bite

Be you a doctor of Body, of Mind or Soul

Try to understand you fool, you believer in black and white

It wont get you any closer to the truth

Good luck to you

I will prevail in the everlasting shades of gray

I MAY HOLD THE KEY

If it was up to me I’d
lock you up – briefly
Be cared for by those
in the know – safely
Shielded from the net
and self-diagnostics
Refocusing thoughts
ending worries – truly
If it was up to me I’d
lock you up – already
It is not up to me
but I may hold the
key to your
freedom
