Elsa Bear Poems

sticky skin
smells sweetly of the night before.
a sultry summer night,
spent in a garden,
...

you see the world through cynical eyes,
because you always have.
maybe you'll never have
that happy ending,
...

A soulmate's for life.
so why did we throw ours away?
we live life,
day in, day out,
...

a hot summer night,
jazz rides the sticky air
and climbs in through my window.
the music of my memories,
...

every year
for 27 years
on the day he died,
her heart skips a beat,
...

i find you on the balcony,
staring into the sky,
lost amongst the stars.
you're far away,
...

weekends fly by,
without a word, nor a whisper
from long forgotten friends.
weekdays are drawn out
...

it's 5am and i'm still awake.
you're in my head again,
invading my thoughts and stealing my peace of mind.
i'm trying to sleep but i can hear you,
...

photos line her walls
posters, pictures, postcards
torn, ripped, cut, stuck.
finally it feels like home.
...

intoxication,
obsession,
passion,
lust,
...
