it seems as if
true affection refuses to show itself
they come in & come out
oh, how they love to use me
but at night while a stranger lays in my bed asleep
i lay hugging myself
so with this lust we added the ingredient of drugs
it started with alcohol
you'd be surprised how much I can pour down my tiny throat
& I know he said he loved me
before he took my panties off
then came coke
the combination of razor blades
& white substances was hard to resist
plus i hear it makes you skinny
maybe somebody would love me then
if i fit the hollywood mold
i bought some blonde hairdye
and some make-up
maybe when i hide my face
i'll be good enough to be loved
& won't have to hug my knees at night.
sovereign
heir
loom
truest
sense
corners and dance
flying
tense to the past
the present
the future
and his mask rings
the flask
if his hands fling
quarters
thirds
seconds
and firsts
you,
sun
burst
the rheumatic clasp
in the form of
a clearing
riddle
hawk
syllabic
chalk
and token task
the first
wilts
last
dimension
origin
aptitude
the peon
taught
the
prince
kindle and
contrive
force
focalize
strive
the salamander print
and i found this next to stone
near to home
advisor
you wonder
why connections trail
behind
the
earthen
the gentle
the seemingly
frail
hammering
i bring down the
temporary
my shelter
body shocks
and even though
i pivot
i am at
home
ghost street
from here its the clear cut
the power
the lines
then the ripples and their pulsating
language
you know
you knew
your protectors as monoliths
heavy with the weight of their age
how sage
now
can we overturn
them
two
at
once

Hi, I'm Erin and new here. I don't write a lot of poetry, or a lot of poetry worth inflicting upon others, however I write non-poetry now and then. I joined because:
1. Your community sounds intriguing, and
2. I am very, very annoyed with everything.
the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.
