A few of my poems

[selkies]

These were all written a while ago, I will probably write some more when I get the chance

a muse me,
tire me till
I just sleep
to wake
with you I’m
someone
not anyone
save her

--------------

One last
Flight for fancy
How I dare!
Before the cords
I should cut
open to let
new and shine
make the light
my way

--------------

A little dancing and I’m back in my seat
The song had me on edge and I couldn’t sleep
secretly, my darling sets me free
fills me with her energy
and I can pretend for a moment
that we can share what she sees
and our passion is never spent
just that vision of who I’d be

Let me go where I don’t belong
let fantasy touch the mind
let my face lie to our eyes
or don’t and I’ll sail
far away, in circles
right beside, in a dance

--------------------

With silence
they still dance
but all is lost
and I fall off
land in past
allow it grip
around my wrists
sink in No-Thing
sense can’t find
the middle me
It holds me still
who’ll never spill
drips of release
just my final red

-----------------

I can’t give you up yet, my cigarette
I’m immersed, breath you in
Your taste, my smell, our touch
every breath spent together
drink you down, all away
ends taste bitter
but you're all inside of me
I can’t hold you
I exhale

I like the third one, And the forth one I like except it read kind of choppy to me...But that is just my opinion. hope not to offend. I really like your thrid one on their though

Yeah the third one is the only one of that style that I still have a copy of.

Each of them have been for someone I was in love with.
One of them won a small college society competition and they put it up on their website, but since then they've changed their website and it's gone.

One of them went up on a poetry site but again disappeared since then.

It saddens me to think that they are somewhere not being appreciated, at least by me.
