lips in laughter

lips in laughter

A Poem by semisomna

tonight seems to be embracing my heavy boots
telling me i'm hardly even the stale fragment of a shadow
a watered down version of some probable supporting character
and i need more words to take up space to make this entry valid
blah blah blah blah
i'll reply "i don't know" to most questions
just to refrain from thinking
or moving my lips in an unfamiliar manner
i've more spit on my face than i've kisses
when should i start pushing up those daisies as you may have suggested
it's been considered, i've contemplated
often, i might add
i wish i could say it's your vessels that will save me
or your dilating pupils
or your fingertips
or your irregular heartbeat
or your cold ears
or the lovely crookedness of your lips in laughter

I like your poem, it has sprit. The words move me as I read and ponder there meaning.

You've created some really great imagery in this poem. The whole piece is hanging under a shadow; dark and mysterious but beautiful.
