rachael richmond Poems

i'm sitting here looking at it, lying there
like an elongated hedgehog too afraid to move.
i should pick it up and drag it through my dirty, tangled hair
but what does that prove?
...

dear death,

you came knocking at my door
saying you were a friend
...

salmon ella was a beauty
with fins so fine and graceful,
a swishy tail to die for
and her scales were really tasteful.
...

i set myself a challenge
to write about the first thing i saw
when i opened my eyes....
...

my glen majestic
quiet, green, fresh, fantastic
naturally mine
...

leg muscles taut as iron,
arms splayed out,
hardly moving...
back rigid
...

plastic love,
that's what you gave me.
it almost looked like the real thing,
and smelled like the cheap perfume
...

i am butter in your hands

you only have to touch me
and i melt
...

there was one
and there was one

and then there were two
...

10.

are you a leg man?

if you are
...

wrappings of silk surround my bleeding heart
as soft as the thorns in the crown
and as white as night.
...

I must eat of the apple
with its plain sweetness.

I have partaken of the juicy mango
...

The Best Poem Of rachael richmond

Forget I Ever Existed

i'm sitting here looking at it, lying there
like an elongated hedgehog too afraid to move.
i should pick it up and drag it through my dirty, tangled hair
but what does that prove?

i want to stay here, statue-like and solid,
made of concrete, my soft inner parts protected by a shell
or burn away into nothingness, like a soul vaporising in hell.

nothing outside my skin is safe,
the very air around me is tainted and foul,
evil beings lurk in every dusty corner of the room
and wait for the cover of darkness, to prowl.

i want to be not here, not there, not anywhere.
my very soul is now destroyed beyond repair.
leave me to rot till the flesh falls from my bones
and leaves them bare.

i am no longer me but a fragmented shadow of my former self.
burn me, take my stinking ashes and store them on a shelf.

then forget i ever existed.
