Jackie Burge Poems

If I am not stronge,
then what am I?
If I am not jealous,
then what am I?
...

From the thorns on the trees,
cutting through my eyes at one glance,
Travels down,
Cutting scars under my skin,
...

The lies that you have made will be your undoing
The secrets you have kept will arise
The enemies you have met will come for you
and I will watch as they destroy you from the inside
...

As the birds sing in the quiet winds of the trees,
I dance around the skies
as though nothing matters.
The waters of the oceans as blue as the sunny sky,
...

Ashes of the lost,
trapped in the darkness of a cave,
you will not suffer, you will be saved.
Your cremation, the cleansing of souls,
...

In the night, when i sleep,
Trolls come from the tweens,
They call at midnight to evil unseen,
Attack in and out of dreams.
...

I think we are all afraid of something, or everything,
We have that small fear in the back or our minds,
that escalates into paranoia if not proven wrong,
I think the most terrifying thing out there is love,
...

To love is a curse and a gift,
To hate is a curse of love,
To hate love is to have loved then lost,
To love hate is to have never loved,
...

Thoughts puzzled, mind jumbled, no time, not time,
never time, tick tock, tick tock,
drip drop, drip drop,
falling, falling rain, pretty,
...

Beneath the burning stars,
beneath the waning moon,
when day has burned the scars,
of the flaming noon
...
