Timmy Tubbs Poems

Love and its Savages

So I cried
And hate flooded the body intravenously
...

Ripples To Sea

Everything just happened so fast
That’s all
...

I’m pressing my hand against your window
To measure your cold
Trying to find were the warmth is escaping
And how you’re still seeping though my window mold
...

My eyes are shut, sewn with pity
Only able to see my stars
Un-sew them for me
And I will show you yours
...

A monster at his best
He’ll throw you through a wall and beat on his chest
Red trickles from your head
And every breath is a knife to your lungs
...

It is you and I
Our surrounding is blurry
Beside us, my father sweet-talks a fourteen-year-old girl
I tell you I am to leave
...

Last night, two turned into three
At this rate, I’m bound to get an STD
Toss me away. I’m a used mitt
Rest of my life, afraid to commit
...

She smiles and her cheek squints her eye
She places a blade of grass between her gaze and the sun
She lines it up perfectly
And lowers one brow in wondrousness
...

We take our star and dance to it
It glitters like your eyes as it hangs with our names
Circling smiles shimmer; we are stared at
Counting the times I step on your feet
...

Some lies we tell only help us with our tasks
If you don’t ever tell me, I had never asked
One day, I will tell you my story, but I think that was in the past
I’m walking toe to heel with your empty flask
...
