Michelle Hanes Poems

I'm thinking yet my
brain empty of a though
I need the answer to my
question that makes my brain hurt
...

I sat there forever
waiting for you
cursed to wait
for a member of
...

Click, click, tap, tap
Better watch your back
With no privacy around
The littlest thing can give you a bad rap
...

See my wings?
They aren't white

Like those fancy angels
...

I follow it through the thicket
That little ignis fatuus
As I step on a cricket,
For silence is needed right now.
...

What happened to that old tradition?
Sadly forced into harsh submission.
I miss the days where it was all so clear,
Instead of so far, always so near
...

What do you wish of me?
I ask that you hear my plee
I cannot simply do it
Because I have an ounce of wit
...

As she leers at me, all I can see,
Is two piercing brown eyes.
That look at me and spew nothing but lies.
As I soak it all in.
...

Why can't I talk a word or speak a sentence?
With you, my voice is a loud mute that's ignored eternally.
I feel as light as an iron feather, as bright as dusk.
Like a dawn in the North Pole, that never comes.
...

The haunting silence of the cold night
Draws me in deeper as I take a step
Another day, another night in
My Endless Slumber
...
