Tanner Herndon Poems

Rich with insanity,
Thick with hate,
Drunk with love,
Stinking of confusion,
...

Eyelashes stuck in time,
Falling like leaves,
Stuck to our faces, they cling to safety,
Never wanting to let go,
...

I left the door to my heart cracked open,
I lured you in with curiosity,
But what you saw, shocked you to the core,
You must have cried lava, when you saw what was in this heart,
...

I have an inside joke
With Death-
'Knock, Knock, '
Who's there?
...

Come forth to write, leave not a thought,
To rot,
But a common enemy, in my mind,
Is set to stone, as the gargoyle,
...

The silk after taste, of drinking
Your eyes, the texture of dreams,
As you make them arise:
I am far from forbidding elation, with you
...

Love.
And, how can you be in
Something in which you know
Nothing about?
...

I can ask nevermore,
That you seek comfort from these limbs,
I am rooted in a soil far more damning than,
Anything you have ever seen,
...
