Grace Petry Poems

Meet me on the Mountain
at the moment our souls first met
Our spot in time
woven in vine
...

To my heart, I apologize once more,
for I have failed at love.
Fly away
as the sparrows soar above.
...

Lock up the heart
to unlock the mind
scrape my weathered shoes
on the Unwelcome mat
...

In that moment
the night was alive

She breathed in the abyss
...

In her corpse he saw
a martyr whose death was not
in vain. She mattered.
...

Chemical commands
on dendritic hands reached out
pleading instruction
...

The hair on my neck
reached for the heavens in your
mahogany eyes
...

In every timeline, I will always find you.
You may appear too early for me,
or I may be too late for you.
Just know that I will always wait.
...

My bird my bird
I want to gaze as you soar with the wings of an eagle even if it is not through my blue skies that you fly
Although I want nothing more than to be your serene cyan paradise
I will be just as elated being the nothing that cheers you on camouflaged behind tears of invisibility
...

You dined upon fine china
with fractures healed by gold.
The finest of spices and herbs
whispered secrets still untold.
...
