PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’d love to write one

of those half open stories

Sour, salty, bittersweet,

spilling out memories

I’d love to be one

of those unbroken girls

Sunshine could hold me

with the weight of the world

But I love half as long

and I love twice as loud,

messy like a lonely voice

screaming for a crowd

I love like a fear of heights,

scattered punchlines in the air

I love like an explosion

until the oxygen’s not there

I’m an empty castle, you can

break the drawbridge down

I can dance to escape with you

until our feet touch the ground

I call back and hear your echo

like sugar on my tongue

Breathing in your temporary

into raw and silent lungs

But I love half as long

and I love twice as loud,

messy like a lonely voice

screaming for a crowd

I love like a question mark,

ink and unknown memories

I love like a cage of freedom

bringing you to your knees

I’m on a cliff, I can

jump or you can push me

My eyes sealed shut

with what I can never be

But like rain in the morning

I’ll coat your skin for today

Pick up the brush, paint

my arms with what you say

But I love half as long

and I love twice as loud,

messy like a lonely voice

screaming for a crowd

I love like a stolen conscience

in flickering blue light

Like a wolf but sweeter, gentler,

turn my sighs into your sight

I could love now like a

piercing flashlight beam

I’ll unravel my fingers

so I speak what you mean

Darling, if this crumbles

just take it from me

I’ll never be set in stone,

I’m not a guarantee

But I love half as long

and I love twice as loud,

messy like a lonely voice

screaming for a crowd

I love like a bareback rider,

wild horses, waterfalls

I love like a tornado

and you can have it all
