POEM STARTER

Awakening

Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.

Awakening

You open my eyes

And I finally see

The beast is awakening

And it’s coming for me


I know that I could run

And that I really should

But despite all the warnings

I walk into the woods


I opened her eyes

And now she can see

The beast is awakening

And it’s coming for she


I thought this would help

And she’d know to run far

But she’s looking at the beast

Like it’s her guiding star


I open my eyes

And b...

Heedful I observe

Dust flying within sunbeams


My limbs stretch out and around

like the arches Of the sun

Sprawled out on material cloud


wide eyed

I rise upon it.


But do I truly get rest from it?


I lay in a puddle of hot hues of orange

Slowly sinking into it so deep

I wish to plunge into its depths


I welcome it.


Everytime I welcome it


It loops like every breath taking

Right before I aw...

Exhaust

The day begins

With aches

Of mind

Of body

Of heart

Long gone

Have days passed

Where joy filled

The wakening

Now it feels

Like space biding

Time until rest...

Nature

Husband (noun): cruelty unmatched by nature,


I am a body pulled from death,

Curled on a land of moss,

Soft ants pick at my skin

The drapery of the room, a cacophony of trees

They watch me,

Hair like leaves hide there faces: ashamed,

had they watch him kill me?

Wolf approaches to comfort me

I go to sleep


Sun beats down on bruised skin

Tall grass hides my frame

Fretting over me

A hyena howls,

T...

Start my mornings…

Coffee beans and

it is bright.


I shine

my soul is shiny.

I’m content

every awakening

again and again....

Consent

He placed his hand on my shoulder,

and asked, ā€œis this okay?ā€

I smiled a moment,

and almost looked away,


But when he looked at me I was pleasantly surprised,

instead of tracing my body his face met my eyes,


his smile was sweet, safe, soft and kind,

and I stared right back at him and I wondered why,


ā€œwhy would you ask me? That’s not required.ā€

And down by his lips with his sweet, safe, so...

Awakening

Sun ray peaks in through the shutter

Fun idea - what a little tease!

Pulls Bob’s nose hair all aflutter

Wakes him up with a morning sneeze

Žarek skozi roleto pokuka

Prevzame ga nagajivi navdih

Jureta za dlako v nosu pocuka

Zbudi ga v jutranji kih...

Soulmates

Ask me out

You bring flowers

Soulmates


You are nice

My friends are wrong

Soulmates


You love me

Head over heels

Soulmates


Just three months

Will you marry me

Soulmates


We’re married

Love like poison

Soulmates


Can’t get out

You keep me here

Soulmates


Years go by

Pain replaces love

Soulmates


Friends were right

You keep me trapped

Soulmates?...

Awakened Anew

My eyes are opened, but not to see

My heart is quickened, but not for life

A door is opened, but not to go through

My thoughts are renewed, but not for thinking


The day has dawned, but not for morning

The sun shines bright, but not for warmth

The birds sing a chorus, but not for the ears

I'm ready, I've been awakened,

for now and for many years...

Love By My Side

When I wake up in the morning- I cuddle my girlfriend. She is always there by my side. She is always there in the same spot, in the same side, with the same face. She always has the same smell, she always gravitates towards my warmth, she always pushes me to the edge, it’s a queen size bed but with her it feels like a full, I wouldn’t trade it for a thing, the consistency of waking up with someone...
