audra king Poems

There were maps on your wall
Like Jefferson had -
A tack on the dreams
You had with me.
...

Cinder walls
And cold steel bars.
Gray
Upon black
...

Tears without motives
Watch them
Watch them fall.
Ha.
...

My face is flooded
With light
And tears.
...

Let's try putting pen to paper to convey
How we envision each other.
I'll be the unsolved poet, you be
My unswerving lover,
...

Please

Don't.
Don't remind me
...

I fell for you
But it was into
A deep dark pit that I fell.
You bent over the opening,
...

She - with the most perfect, porcelain skin I've ever seen
She - with her hair jet black and her eyes jade green.
She - with the mouth of a pouting child.
She - with her imagination crazy and wild.
...

Here I sit, systematically
And think to myself how
I’ve winded up with such consistency.
...

As unhealthy as it is,
I need a bigger bottle.

Mine is growing way to short
...
