Felicity Slaughter Poems

I am hungry for you.

I am hungry for your lips.
They're soft,
...

As I sit on the bank
just thinking,
and look into the rippling water,
I listen to nature,
...

A kiss.
Just one.
That's all it took
to make me float on air.
...

I feel as though I am
being punished for not
taking my own life yet.
So now I cry myself to sleep.
...

Happiness fills me,
heart and soul
when he is near.
...

My life is spiraling out of control
Twirling and twisting more violently
than a rampaging tornado.
...

Shaken and tossed, completely ignored.
I am alone and forgotten.
It seems I'm invisible.
...

A woman
Light olive skin
Supple and smooth
Longing to be caressed
...

It wasn't this hard last time
Last time I just walked away
Away from a life I never had
This is the life I never had.
...
