Kristy Artmann Poems

Of this I am thankful…
For a loving mother that raised me right even though I caused her much strife….
For loving brothers who protected me from harm and offered a helping hand….
For loving family members who offer support, understanding, and unconditional love….

Twice as Nice-Two Big Blue Eyes, Two Soft Lil' Ears, A Button Nose;
...

Eccentric arrival seeping inside my soul,
Numinous feelings I do implore.
Existence of the indigent, soulless beings,
Allure me to the pits of despondency.
...

Rancid civility, thoughtless existence,
Politely excrete my mind's sight.
...

Like a grasshopper captured in a jar,
Gasping for air I struggle to live to amuse you, the capturer by par.
It’s grueling to see me slowly die but enthralling to observe.
Knowing you’re the reason for my exodus is your reward-the thrill of the slow death is so easy for you to conserve.
...

He sees me broken,
He rejoices that I once was his token,
But it’s my fault since I left my heart wide-open.
...

I just thought you should know,
I’m ready to let you go.
Ready to forget the pain,
Before I truly went insane.
...

There I was saddened and distraught with no hope for tomorrow,
Being this happy seems it’s been too long ago.
Here you are lacking sheep’s cloak,
Giving me optimism I’ll never again be heartbroken.
...

His lies wounded me tremendously.
His actions pierced my soul with superfluous vigor.
Why did he do this to me?
Why did I allow him the pleasure?
...

Pricks my soul
Angers me with intensity
Equally gladdens my disposition
Sadness disappears and returns periodically
...
