Faustina Marie Poems

Lovely, lovely, lovely;
They say that you are lovely

I see the sparkling in your eyes
...

A mother's love
Wraps around you like the wind,
Invisible, incomprehensible, and inescapable-
Not that you would want to escape
...

I once went to a recital
For Spoken Word Poetry

A young man and woman
...

Second doesn't sound nearly as special
As first

But you're a world more important to me.
There are scars on my hands
...

I stand untouched
by flames and clubs
But the horror rakes my throat,
The fires are far away
...

Fast, fast, faster
What harm could there be?
I know this road
Like the back of my hand
...

Pulsing
Pulsing to move
Pulsing to eat, to breathe
Pulsing to live
...

I am sorry for the readers
and the writers with much to say
On sorrow,
For it seems sorrow
...

As the storms subsided
I recognized your plight,
The tide pushed and pulled us closer
Until my land was out of sight
...

Love.
So abused, so warped
Tossed around in the back seats of cars
And on dark nights when it's too cold to be alone,
...
