Mary Bennet: Favorites

Sometimes I wish happiness was enough,
enough to remind me what life really was.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to bleed,
maybe I'm not alive, just learning to breathe.

Sometimes I wish I would truly know
my pain, my joy, the parts I never show.

Sometimes I wish I could understand
why all the good things always seem to end

Code Name 🦒

There’s someone I call by something else,
not their name,
just a word that only I
seem to understand.

They move like they don’t know
they’ve been noticed.
They speak,
and the air changes.

It’s silly.
The nickname,
the feelings,
the way I look up a little too long.

But some things feel safer
when they stay unsaid.

Truthfully

Truthfully

I am enshrouded
In Eternal
Darkness
And
I never asked
For there to be
A light.

Perpetual
Night-
With nothing
But the
Enveloping
Dusk.

I shall go down to the dump today
to pick up a random thought
and translate it into
a first language

Riddles

Like a hat,
That never had a head,
I lay upon a double bed.

A melancholy feeling of loss,
We are the riddles
That we came across.

Child Of The Sea

Child Of The Sea

I was a
poet
you
were a sailor
Waves
came in couplets
words
in the brine

I was
reborn
with the ocean
in rhythm
Released
in its wonder
forever
— in rhyme
