Probably not as funny as I think I am

your hair takes too long to dry, he’d say. it did. but i liked his damp touch.
By Chloë J.3 years ago in Poets
electricity sets fires, in carelessness, so put those eyes away.
I’ll show my tattoos if you show me your scars; let our eyes set fires.
one look from you, and the freezing coals within me, swiftly rekindled.
fatigue burns in that slow way, drags you into an underwater life.
burning and churning, the words inside me, fight for poetic release.
stick a hand into the well of my mind, pluck yet another haiku.
tongue-tied, deep fried in the center of the pure flame. i set it myself.
too much too close too me; fiery chaos, makes a desolate wasteland.
my anger, flaming tsunami, floods without sign; burning, drowning wrath.
feet so fast sparks flew, shoes left earth, caught wind, helped me flee to ocean skies.
bones in the earth, tell me all your stories- I will try to weave them right.
