Natasha Ashwe Poems

I trust the night
I trust the stars that shine
I trust the moon
I know its love’s divine
...

It’s a rock song and I won’t let you in it
Step away from my maelstrom
Bits of torn metal shred me to bits to submit
My soul to the earsplitting blast of drums
...

I know of a beautiful flower
With a sense beguiling fragrance
Where nectar like honey flows
With a sting
...

He sucks out my brain when he speaks
And I'd like to cup his in a glass
Watch it monkey dance like mine
My fellow gemini
...

I love to watch you
My eyes become moths drawn by a flame
And you flicker in directions
That are fingers and thumbs on a guitar that’s playing
...

To soar up to the mountains of the heaven's shimmering storm foils
Our minds like weightless carriages tear through light, lift us beyond
Where the mirrors part and shadow and fire twist in and out of voids
And chasms lay open wide the secrets of those once distant apparitions
...

Do you do darkness?

Do you close your eyes to breath in the substance of
...

[musing on life and existence when Kitty died]

Parallel lines,
Each of us,
...

I watched a moon show last night
Somehow it made everything al'right
The sky was emptying down universe in its amazing way
An expanding concave surface breaching billions of galaxies far away
...

His jaw
Was clean and lean
And colors reflected twice as sharply
Amongst the flickering glints
...

Was winding back on the coil
Again
So I stopped
Now I’m reaching out to the void to feel … yes …good …
...

Let's say a prayer for him

Celebrate tears not the death of a dream
...

Those knuckles,
On that steering wheel,
In that car,
Across the street,
...

Lost in the days’ powers
I devour nameless hours
Though somewhere inside me the substance of your absence keep thoughts of you awake
Now I know what it means to wander
...

Open the folds; reveal
A love no one can steal
The fire of my soul
The man that makes me whole,
...

Where are my footsteps
leading me?
I watch them from a
world above me
...

[dreaming with paper planes and ribbons of his thoughts]

You are here,
In the soul parking space that had been strictly mine,
...

[For pet lovers everywhere. Simple words for smiley thoughts]

Day and night, near and far:
They ponder how wonderfully amazing we are
...

You give me kisses
To wear like diamonds;
'Forever...'
You take my breath
...

[A burst of inspiration, and perhaps borderline channeling - from a near or far galaxy existing simultaneous to earth time - for me.
Each verse is a picture book/ emotive trigger/ delicious sentence to write/read.
At the end I decided upon the enchantress Unii Fal'Enai - a character in my fantasy novel, as a likely speaker of them for past/future.
Yet the voice is bizzarely, entirely mine *big grin*]

Natasha Ashwe Biography

I am a poet, a writer, and an artist, and I believe in beauty, creativity and perfection. I love life, the world, and existence, thoroughly enjoying all of my various roles in the three. I believe every moment on earth is a gift; my advice for anyone would be to ensure that days are conscientiously and properly seized and nights spent in the profitable dreaming of dreams that come true. The Gemini star sign captures my personality satisfactorily; I enjoy the duality and restlessness declared as significant components of my nature. I get occasionally erratic. This is usually when new ideas start spinning round in my head. I absolutely thrive on these moments I define as my moments of clarity; quickening my pace to catch up, hastening to a keyboard to punch away into the middle of the night or doing whatever it is that is must be done immediately at all costs or else. I also like people; I savor and swallow whole the good parts of them. The other parts I refrain from as one would do from fatty foods and cigarettes; they can be just as addictive. In my relationships and encounters with all sorts of different characters I often find myself fascinated, going through ‘diet fads’, occasionally on a ‘binge’, doing a ‘detox’ in seclusion afterwards, et cetera. The diversity of human experience and emotion adds spice to life and so I constantly exercise and explore my right to be inspired. It is a right. I have recently learnt how to cry.i.e. let it out. Quite spooky! I still wrestle with the belief that crying will bring on a nervous breakdown and drive me insane but I’m working on it. I was greatly influenced by Walt Disney and Michael Jackson when growing up, and was fascinated by vampires. Now I adore Madonna, enjoy good conversation, and like the way most cities look at night. I believe that it is important to follow gut instinct in whatever you are engaged in as you go through your life for this has been extremely important for me. I close my eyes and see what only I can see. I trust it and walk forward with my eyes wide shut. I call it ‘Doing Darkness’. I am Natasha Ashwe. This is my work and my talent. It is my desire to express it, expressing myself in however way I can, and I aspire for success in this endeavor, trusting that everything will work out the way it was designed to do. Thank you, world, for I appreciate your existence.)

The Best Poem Of Natasha Ashwe

Saves Me

I trust the night
I trust the stars that shine
I trust the moon
I know its love’s divine
I trust the wind
I trust its winding ways
I trust the sky
I know its separate days
I trust the dawn
I trust its rising light
I trust the sun
I know its blinding sight
I trust the clouds
I trust the crimson waves
I trust the things I love
I know that this trust saves
Me.

Natashe Ashwe says in her biography, 'I am an artist and poet...I think.' I've just read several of her poems, and I would say, 'I KNOW! ' Natasha writes powerfully about both the beauty and the beguiling lures lurking in life. She writes, for example, of 'pickpocket loves' who have left her heart empty. She is an original, powerful voice.
