Jennifer Umansky Poems

nothing makes me feel more alive
than when i'm gliding through soft snow

zooming down the cold, icy mountain
...

escape
we're all just trying to escape

milky smoke entering our lungs
...

i sit in my room and wonder
how will everything change when i leave?
i know how things will happen for me.
my soul will condense and my heart will bleed.
...

throw my ego in a paper shredder
stick pins through my eardrums
you goblet of terror
take a bite out of my heart
...

a familiar being
that i must have met before
one that my heart flutters for
the light that emits from inside
...

there are no words that can even begin to explain
the love i feel for you
its like a hurricane
strong winds that lift my body into the air
...

Lift
Lift another weight up on your shoulder girl
Sink
Sink down deeper into the ocean girl
...

life that changes,
lovers that push you to grow and take the darkness out and shake it
clicking fires and smiling faces
tell me you love me under the warm welcoming stars
...

oh, we all know
nothing is easy
but
your ability to lift up the corners of my lips sure is,
...

if i had a melody
it would have a tone that pulls you close
playful piano keys
bright green grass and dandelions
...
