REMINDING ME

tearing the skin around the nail
a satisfying bit of pain
lingers there from that
and reminds me of the reasons
behind my anxious feelings
the drop of blood that stains and drips
from finger to the floor
another blatant sign
of the way i feel tonight
the sting of water and soap
and the gentle scrubbing i give
the bandaid placed around the wound itself
represents
the string around the finger
never able to clear the tremors
from my shaky mind
because of a nibble taken from the nail
and the pain that lingers still
with every movement of my hand

POETRY
POETIC HUMMING


Words fall
               just
                  Out
                       Of
Reach

Random plucking of the heart strings
Strumming up uncoordinated ramblings
Perpetually
               Stretching
                               Attempting
                                               To pen
Harmonious melodies

LIPS UNHEARD

What if my breath
were a string of pearls
to your ears
gliding smoothly as a
rivers babble across
soft curried stones
would the door behind
which you reside
unlatch
crack and open wide
letting me in
would you then
hear me speak
or will you remain deaf
hearing silence
watching
these lips moving
