kath otoole Poems

Fell asleep
Fell apart
in the life I was living.
...

All those deeds gone undone,
all those words left unspoken.
We are blown like a leaf
on the breeze of today.
...

You promised me forever
but you only gave me yesterday.

You threw me to the dogs
...

He slipped into her life like angels sighing.
She crashed into his life like shrapnel flying.

He always knew their worlds were just too far apart,
...

Come to me tonight.
Insinuate yourself between my thighs.
Take me.
Give me sweet delight.
...

You sought to take my feet
and run my life for me.
To bind my eyes
and lead me by the hand.
...

Pitch-painted night.
You put the overshadowed day to flight.
Devouring all, you leave no lingering light.
And all the walls are breached,
...

I used to be a Top Bird.
With the brightest feathers
and the sharpest word.
...
