Greg Allum Poems

There it goes
and here it comes.
Say goodbye to the past and
welcome the future with a wide-eyed smile.
...

Folded away
in a
coffin of creases
the dormant words of love
...

Undeniable structures
have led me to this place
to the softness of her neck
Lasting marks are burnt on my skin
...

The undulating rhythm
of a call to prayer
floating
serenading
...

I am haunted by the space within
The gaps between our serenade
A ghost of you
empty and desolate walks
...

My quiet
weakened voice calls out.
Screams
in the darkness
...

My skin peels
like petals
slowly
away
...

Without her,
my heart has no place.
She is an embankment
that confines my aorta.
...

My lips are scented rose petals
delivering the gentlest of touches.
These kisses
cascade and cover your body
...
