Brandi Parker Poems

another day in my life passes away from me like a dead skin

i have shed part of my life to my past
...

steam seeps through the crack in the doorway
i can hear the sound of the water cutting off
the smell of your bodywash lingers in the air
wrapped only in a towel you come into the room
...

i look back on my life ten years ago
i was a different person then
i had more hope when i was naive
now and then i receive a spark
...

time bends and slows it's breath when you are near

i never held that moment in my hands
...

i've been waiting all of my life
waiting to look into your eyes
waiting to hear your voice
speak my name
...

a rancid taste lingers in my mouth
an acrid smoke coils and curls
a metallic clang deafens
as my fingers slowly unfurl
...

i was once naive
believing in the perfect idea of love
blinded by brilliance
that turned out to be
...

the dream that was once built
on a solid foundation has now
crumbled to dust a fine powder
the wrecking ball creaked wreaked
...

a cavern awaits
for any who enter
the deepest part of me
carnage lies lifeless all around
...

i've hit the highways and byways
shuffling my feet to the tune in my head
searching for my soul, my love, my self
finding that although i am not alone
...
