Maya Hanson Poems

All that falls from my mouth
spills from my pen
are lonely, disappointed murmurs
and echoes of broken love
...

At sunrise I watched you leaning
against the west side of the hill
Just as lost as I am
...

Through the blinding light
through the illuminating darkness
I'm shattered through your sun
...

A twist of torture,
a song to believe
A rhythm of memories
all drenched in you
...

If I asked you a question
would you answer honestly
Would you catch the truth
sitting right in front of me
...

The light, elusive rhythm
of a long time coming
dancing through every word
a million pieces with no name
...

Maybe if we could
stretch to the stars
the sky would rest
at our fingertips,
...

She pulls flashing flames of color
into her fingertips,
tries to tame the universe
with ghosts that dance in the raindrops
...

I cannot speak
my voice has fled
but my fingers
tapping on the tabletop
...

Let me
go,
keep me
close
...
