Melissa L. Pelletier Poems

Crystals cast a fickle
spell over the
afternoon landscape
...

I travel this path
of pine and earth
a new chapter
about to unfold
...

A small child
no more than five
a blue dress
and crooked knees
...

Velvet rivers of aroma
luscious and heavy
bloom in waves
of frantic shimmering climax
...

Shadows through
a breathless veil
clinging like cobwebs
to the righteous mind
...

Emerging from the darkness
into the realm of conscious thought
navigating through the rain
soaring in the sky
...

Black fragrant soil is my blood
minerals course through my veins
to nourish my body
rich green grass feeds my greedy flesh
...

It is the way the color of the day
melts into night
Thoughts turn dark
with a halo on the horizon
...

What do you ache for...
the words that can never quench
the piercing noise
the heart beats that flow into a cauldren
...

Liquid luscious aqua green-blue
silkily silently gliding on through
wallowing faintly in her deception
...
