Is this magic carpet big enough for two?
You and I, chameleon
Ghosts of faithful wounds haunt under the sun
Kisses of an enemy linger above stars
Thief/drunk/liar/shameless/coward
Their words cross my heart and cross your fingers
Tired of defending you, I retreat
In the face of truth, you told lies
The deed is done but the memory lingers
Is Richard Dawkins going to save you now?
Holiness is overrated but a god is a god
Ignore me at your own risk
I am singularly unignorable
(Put that in your dictionary)
Six million friends couldn’t save you
Even if they wanted to
Nurse the poison as affection
Until it masters your resistance
Were you always so wicked?
A canvas cracks its gorgeous mask
The spy behind with hideous eyes appears
Repulsion knows no boundaries
Swimming in oil kills you
Whispering tales trumps silence
Take a whiff of the hookah, Jasmine
Did I make her bow?
Off fires the first rocket!
Crash.

You are wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and great photo.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your sad feelings, honey. I wish I could jump on a plane and take you out for the day to cheer you up. xxx
awww.
ReplyDeletethe vogue photos i feel are just poorly executed. none of the clothes can be seen properly, but at least it's artistic and is trying to get a point across...

Ah nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that with us. I love the photo and poem.
ReplyDeleteI thought that fashion spread was really powerful. Beautifully written poem, hope you cheer up soon!
ReplyDeleteIt'll pass,
ReplyDeletei'm sure everything gonna be alright.
please cheer up :)
Wow, that's incredibly deep, This part really got to me "Were you always so wicked?
ReplyDeleteA canvas cracks its gorgeous mask
The spy behind with hideous eyes appears"
The image haunts me now.
I actually like depressing poems better than optimistic poems, so I want to read more of these. I hope though, you'll be in a better mood soon.
Cheer up
I don't feel bombarded by your emo poems; in fact, I kind of adore them! You are extremely talented, Jennifer!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat picture is both terrifying and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote this poem? Good job! But...I certainly hope you feel better soon.

amazing pic
ReplyDeleteI can see the depth in the poem. It is said that a true poetry is born when one's heart is in pain and this might be a proof. Whatever it is that is depressing you, I wish and pray that you feel better dear. I'm going through a very rough phase myself and it's only my friends and family who are holding me tight. We're there for you too.
ReplyDeleteplease get out of your depressed funk. i love your poetry, but i don't like that you have to be depressed to write it. :)

Your poems rock. For some reason I feel that sad poems are the best because they show raw emotion. I love it.
