Tamisha Bellamy Poems

There is no place like a home away from home
The safety net from darkness is stars
A trillion stars up there plus two extra stars down here
Waves crash in and out makes more company to count
...

I want to share your sorrows
I want to share your dread
When reality is more than you can stand/ rest awhile on your bed/ while I do something that has never been done before.

Help me
Help me, I see her everyday walking through the hallways as she passes my way.
Hair so short, skin so pale-when I look at her I know I am going to hell.
Not hell as in burning for eternity, but the kind of hell as in not knowing anything in this moment- in this time.
...

Baby squirrel, make it easier for yourself
There is no need to climb or leap too fast
Steady.......
Steady.......
...

No one would dare to deny a baby milk
No one would steal China's silk
Life would fold, wrinkle, and tangle
I could be worse if I am denied an angel as a confidant
...

Irish maidens, go tell the Irish children there will be no frosties to be sold today
So the Irish maidens did what they were told, but be patient, for they were old
Let's hope their message did not arrive to late
Ireland run
...

You think that I belong to you- in your polluted and diluted world
When you speak I feel goosebumps, which send chills down my spine
Why must you say these things?
Do you have no compassion for this boundry line?
...

Solid matters tread onward and forward, up and down the halls
A hand full of bodies in the kitchen
A few bodies have their own office
Every now and then other bodies are found coming in and out of stalls.
...

I tried to be the fabulous little girl you dreamed for me to be
Let you throw makeup on my dirty face and dress me
Put on a happy face while you showed me off to the glamourmen and glamouretttes at your parties
O, Mother I tried
...

Yasmine
Your eyes
Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?
So mystic
