Tiffny Rhodius Poems

Love me today
Love me as if I am going away
Never to return again.
...

Like a junkie after a fix I am back here again.
Longings so intense my body trembles with wanting.
The need so great I can hardly stand straight.
Why do I torture myself this way?
...

In anger and pain
I banished from my mind
The name and shape of you.
I snuffed out all hope
...

Bless this night dear Lord I pray
Bless it so that we can see another day.
This world is malicious
Only you can make it safe for us.
...

One, two three,
I sip on this black label whiskey.
Four, five, six,
I begin to shake my hips.
...

I struggled to get out of bed today.
I struggled to remember my name.
This mania is driving me insane.
...

I dream of a place beyond,
Beyond the bounds of this crumbling world.
A place where the sound of laughter lightens up the day
And the sound of falling tears lingers no more.
...

Do not tell me how my beauty fails in comparison to the moon,
Or how my smile out shines the brightest stars.

Do not tell me that we will be together forever,
...

Times to remember
Moments to treasure
No matter the storm
We will weather
...

Changes in the times
Has sparked trouble in the mind
Questions arise as cost hit the skies
Who provides now and how?
...
