Tajma Hall Poems

the leaves
remarkable how they never stay
abort their promise for a breeze
the leaves are bound to spend the night
...

a sunshine flower needs to exist
many roads traveled
the hardness of rock
shaped differently
...

all much about you
she folds in
flannel sheets blanket
she folds all much
...

The guitar and cigarette burn melodically
I sit in the lounge hoping to train myself
No sitting in the lounge before the show starts
under my breath a few sad whispers
...

my chair from my chair
i write to you
me leaving for seconds
you my picture
...

My dry fist
faced with full expression
along this ties fisted chain
lock this grip
...

you row in an escape
in a sense resent me
gasping I left with no clothing
you watch me nakedly
...

night time breath in
sunshine breath out
heartbeat aim your light
some start with a call
...

Heaven will let us
will not chance it
how winter turns everything cold
yet we all know
...

I have come to the night
perhaps less fitting for the occasion
than if I came in the light
more prepared in clothing
...
