Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Circles

Circles by lolamouse
Spinning thoughts
on an exhausting journey
going nowhere
Stuck
on an obsessive mind carousel
Mad horses racing
to a nonexistent finish line
while the music plays on
and on
and on

Surrender

image source

Come to me, she beckons
dark curves seducing me back
to this place of ambivalence
Desire, destruction hopscotch across her body
She smiles
keys cracked and black stained
rotten teeth
meth mouth
gaping hole waiting to be filled
with my words
she mocks my impotence
I wave the white flag
