Killing Auguste

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Killing Auguste You want me to be the gloves Of a trapeze artist with severed hands How could I ever let you down? You play with matches Trying to light my mind See the circus in flames See Auguste on the bridge Dancing among the flashing lights Blood on his gloves Turning white through a spark Leaving Tara Station

Hard To Be Me

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Hard To Be Me I used to have a heart You used to have a home A crime on the bridge A tramp with a blindfold Throw the sword into the balance Release the wolf All the rage in my second brain The colour of our wings Doesn't affect the way we fly Darkness rises above the waves I want to scream it's hard to be me When I'm you Leaving Tara Station

That Primal Desire

#PoemsAbout #Desire #Poetry #Writing #writingcommunity
That Primal Desire My disembowelled body lies beside you I found you in an oil spill Your heart begging for crutches Driven by that primal desire To live, even without wings I’m a sailor without a sea Driven by that primal desire A soulless excuse to dance Amidst the chaos of the world Leaving Tara Station

Breathing Holes

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Breathing Holes Take a seat and stay focused At the deepest point of your office Throw a seat and stay quiet At the deepest point of the ocean And when you need to Run to the breathing holes Stumble and crawl Pay to be paid Keep the sun in your pocket Save your seeds on your shoulders And when you need to Run to the breathing holes Leaving Tara Station

Some Devoted Nurse

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Some Devoted Nurse Like a worm in a cup of honey I can't make a move Some devoted nurse Is looking for a sleeping pill for me When all I need is a raincoat To heal the disease of life With a Martha Jane tattoo on a rib I wish I could feel the bees Leaving Tara Station

Bunker

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Bunker The shorter the days The longer the bunker I'm nowhere to be seen When darkness falls I finally find the comfort that the sun won't give me Night, keep me safe. I wish I was your only son -Leaving Tara Station

Indian Ceremony

Indian Ceremony Wings on a hospital bed Pisces surgery An indian ceremony on a premium channel How have we lost our substance What have we done to music ? My wireless love, my sold-out world Drive to the moon Chords save, ropes kill Come on rain Wash my modern soul Leaving Tara Station

On Melting Tar

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
On Melting Tar And suddenly I’m feeling so old There are shores I'll never reach A great weariness melts the tar The hours seem louder as they pile up I try to soothe the waves To rock you again As it was, as it was, as it was When innocence didn't capsize Leaving Tara Station

Above the Abyss

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Above the Abyss Balancing on the blade Don't be afraid — we all fall eventually Bless the blood that flows It makes you feel lighter As you slide down the blade Your life fades away painlessly Raise your arms above the abyss Leaving Tara Station

Shadowless

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Shadowless I’m a tramp in the gallery Leaving empty frames in my wake I run through the corridors Over scattered glass But I don't hurt myself I wait for dawn, I wait for you You're always punctual Among the first in line Preceded only by your impatience I call out to you, I scream The scattered glass flows down my throat Lacerating my vocal cords But when I run through the corridors I never hurt myself Leaving Tara Station

When This World Takes You by the Throat

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
When This World Takes You by the Throat This wilted rose in your vein seeking life in your red river as the beats fade away I remove the thorns with tweezers Delicate in your aorta Let me be a simple shiver on your gaping wounds When this world takes you by the throat Let me be a fleeting shiver… Leaving Tara Station

Funky Beat, Stinky Meat

Funky Beat, Stinky Meat Funky beat, stinky meat Swinging on a rope bridge Kiss me less, kill me more Put me in a movie, they'll pay You'll never find anything More addictive in this world Drink hearts, stay sober Popcorn in court Broadcast on all channels Soulless but popular You can blame me, you’ll never tame me Kill me less, kiss me more Leaving Tara Station

Like a Salmon
#WildWalkPrompt

#prompt #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #nature #5amwritersclub
Like a Salmon I used to collect angel wings In the dirty freezers of my soul I bump into people hanging from the ceiling Legends are with me tonight But I'm stuck to the ground I used to hide between the rocks Is it too late to turn the tide? I carry a river in my backpack Lost in the departure hall Like a salmon waiting for its flight Leaving Tara Station

Born to Sink

#BlueSkyWriting #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #LeavingTaraStation #poetry #poetrysky #blueskypoets
Born to Sink A lovely house with an open fire It could be so classy if only you weren't so empty You don’t read, you just drink You scroll and compare Hoping you’re not the worst Sometimes you faint, often you fake it You try another match to forget You chase pleasures you don't need Scroll and lose your time again Eat, sleep, repeat Fueling useless rumours Lost in a tank of champagne You're just another little bubble among thousands Born to sink, yet never reaching the bottom Leaving Tara Station

A Teddy Bear with Sunglasses

#Emoetry prompt for 10/28/2025 is #Battered
#writingcommunity #poetry
A Teddy Bear with Sunglasses In the summer, Molly wore long sleeves She gritted her teeth when they laughed One night, after swallowing enough dust, she moved into a boxing ring In the red corner, she placed a towel stained with her blood, that no one would ever throw away, And a teddy bear wearing her sunglasses When the men asked her to bow down again, she challenged the millions of little things One by one, one by one Her own fists now silencing the laughter Until the day she battered the world champion Leaving Tara Station

In the Depths of your Evening
#WildWalkPrompt #Evening

#prompt #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #nature #5amwritersclub
In the Depths of your Evening Thrown onto the stage at the first light of dawn The amateur actor stumbles like a newborn lamb There’s never enough time to learn how to wear wool They want me to turn into a wolf They want me to be violent, I want to stay fragile As I endure the day's burdens, I glimpse the promise of evening I come home Show me L.O.V.E. in violent, show me L.I.F.E. in fragile Let them call me weak and let me learn my name In the depths of your evening Leaving Tara Station

Proud Nettle Standing Before the Jury
#WildWalkPrompt #resilience

#prompt #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #nature #5amwritersclub
Proud Nettle Standing Before the Jury Lift up the collar of your jacket And everything will be fine In your pretty tiny house Under control You’re free as long as you don’t look outside Spiders weave their webs all around You’ve always been part of the cocoon Sleep in a little sea of comfort Up to your chin Rocked by waves of resilience My eyes are red in every picture Like a proud nettle standing before the jury Leaving Tara Station

The Baby That Never Bloomed
The Baby That Never Bloomed Like a wreck in your sea I defile your golden waves It’s hard to communicate In a diving suit I’m sorry to be sad again Tar me, feather me and tar me again You lift up the seven dolls In your pursuit of happiness And you only find me The baby that never bloomed I pull the sheets to my side I’m the cold on your skin Cover my ugly face Until I forget my favourite song So I come before you naked Forever imperfect Being your instant lover is a never-ending trap I won’t beg anymore This is my last attempt to say ‘I love you’ - Leaving Tara Station #PoemsAbout #ImperfectMe
