Jessy Liz Poems

Monstrosities wade knee-deep through the filth that floods my mind.

I entertain them for a moment, then open up my eyes.
...

Our minds are ever-changing
Temptation grips these hands
Weapons of destruction
Making harsh demands
...

I flick the ashes and watch every worry float to the ground.

They whisper softly as they fall.. each bit of dimming ember and grey dust sputter a story.
...

What if I were the blood in your veins?

..Walking through you, pace by pace..
...

When at once what we have lost, is to say, but a prayer..
Then we must know what we have touched is in a way quite rare.
At which point we'd surely know that what we see is just.
And in an instant it is so- so carry on, we must.
...

Seduction style and sultry eyes
A fire masked her heart like ice
Perfume kisses and raven locks
She'd hunt her prey down like a fox
...

'You changed your look.'

'You changed your mind.'
...

Pins and needles, broken eggshells
Walking on the truths we can't tell
Small and fragile, biting points
Leave feet to bleed and break the joints
...

Laying in bed, it's four a.m.
Smoking cigarettes
And listening to that song I do when no one else's around to hear it
...

Lips break their grip but nothing comes out
And I don't want to see what's in front of me now.
So I sidestep the elephant in a mannerly fashion
And pretend not to have seen what I pray never happened.
...
