Tamisha Bellamy Poems

Does your heart tremble?
Does your heart skip a beat?
Do you bite your lip?
Imagine that you have this lean rabbit to feast
...

What time is it?
I do not know, nor do I care
Time to travel and settle myself in a private lair
Close my eyes and open my ears to falling springs
...

As dizzy as life can be
As fast as the Earth can spin
The people of the world will realize they could have been steady and alert like you and me
Too late when their fleshly instincts come to their end
...

It was a bittersweet time
O, bittersweet mornings
A bittersweet sparrow would come out before six a.m
Perched herself on my leg, moved up my right shoulder, and sat smoking a cigarette
...

What I believed to be paradise- was a jungle
What I believed to be serious- was a joke
I was lost and believed your heart had found me, but your heart was a fantasy
...

Take this heart and possess it
You can make it work, so don't quit on it
Take this heart now
...

If ever the rain floods your eyes
If ever war planes are in the sky
I don't know if I can catch you, but I do want to try

She is scared of herself and of making choices on the whim
What can come from screaming?
What can come from stripping off her shell?
...

Say you don't get enough candy
and will make the sky pour down with sugar
Never feel dry again and never know hunger
Sweetness

Without any hesitation or thoughts about her reputation, Megan follows Davy to Canada
