Chasity Dorsey Poems

try and build me a crystal stair
with smooth and shiny surfaces
in need of no repairs
steps to guide me up and with a balance that I never kept before
...

Oh the beauty of forgotten love,
TO mesmerize
to capitalize
to make it a government,
...

Let them wonder where my hope is kept,
how I have chased long, open seas
and came back with nothing.
...

Stories have wept inside of me, like currents,
like small waves of swollen guilt.

I am a Child, again.
...

There is a click
a moment of truth and terror
faith has brought me here
And
...

U lost me one time, over the bridge
I hung clinging over a threatening cliff
and u drapped me over your back,
clinging as well,
...

Tender love has fallen
bright and light,
in the eyes of a conquerer.
Desperate, late at night
...

He embraced me,
beating my heart in his hands like a drum.
Fitting me into his life.
Trying to make me safe.
...

Oh, she's so pretty,
Look at how perfect her face is
Like chisled sand.
Magnificent,
...

I have found my genius.
But I tell you it had found
and laid upon me.
My journey has kept this brilliance in me
...
