missy harris Poems

Unravel me like a rose
pick me apart one by one
and utter your meaningless phrases
Tell me what I want to hear
...

bleed it through
let it spill through my pores and down my skin
let it snarl at the composed
and tear at the throats of the reserved
...

futuristically transfixed with the throw of a stone
I am a deep pool of water
cold to the touch
and you can never reach me
...

The Best Poem Of missy harris

The Rose

Unravel me like a rose
pick me apart one by one
and utter your meaningless phrases
Tell me what I want to hear
Whisper it in my ear
So it is barely audible
And makes my spine quake

Run your fingers down my body
Grasp at my loose ends and promise to tie them up
With fingertips as soft as comfort
And words utilized to throw into disarray
Promise me you’ll be gentle
Make me crave your solution

Your eyes should devour my soul
They should capture me and hold me in my place
Your Fingernails will graze my skin
Your hands will constantly be searching for a place to rest
Find their resting spot
And with great agility plunge into my core

Find my question
With a disparity in my voice I will ask you to answer it
Fill me with your knowledge and tell me my purpose
make sense of my life
give me a reason to live
just answer me before you pluck my essence away

I really like the style you write in and the juxtoposition you use. your imagery is thought provoking and emotive, and captures a sense of human spirit that many can relate to. From scanning this site over the past few months, your poetry has stood out the most. i look forward to more. Graham
