Pantoum for the Introvert

The things I do not say out loud
The secrets and the absurdities
My silence speaks volumes
Yet you fill the space with nonsense

The secrets and the absurdities
Rattle and shake like twisted snakes
Yet you fill rooms with nonsense
Loud...

Split open

The longer version:

Split open, show your core
Sink down in padded moss
Ancient whispers, echoing in the wind
Hear the sorrows and joys
Before old rites vanish into fog
Spirited away to oceans
Forgotten by humans
Heard only by fishes

I am the Inbetween

I am not the mother or the crone
I am another creature entirely
I am in between worlds
Spiritual realms and realness intertwined

Barriers of my own making
Tricked me into solitude
Damned by the expectations of others
The doctrines of polite...

Pantoum to Sadness

Sadness is a stealthy seductress
She whispers alluring words
Offering the comfort of familiarity
On well-worn paths into the darkness

She whispers alluring words
Begging me to come to her once again
On well-worn paths into the darkness

Silver Lining

Every cloud has a silver lining
Every devil a silver tongue
Which silver is better
Or worse
Lovers paint words gold
Hoping to seduce
Alchemize
Hypnotize
Drunk on your lies
I rationalize
Synthesize
Forming a solution
that is no longer me...

"
Why the f*ck did I engage this retro-feminine douche gnome?" Haha, I could have stopped at this gem and been satisfied for life and laughed for the rest of the week. I love it!

ok, I'm a mom and have worked in a hospital, I can deal with blood, poop, you name it but I draw the line at mucous and nose picking. I'm gagging just thinking about it. If only everyone was as self aware as I am. However, that is exactly the problem, I am too self aware. My therapist said, "the good news is you don't have a personality disorder, no one this self aware has a personality disorder" bwhahaha

so glad you liked this better than the last one :) I know from experience if someone questions being an unhealed a$$hole they usually are not one. If they are in complete denial then yep they might be the a$$hole. You are mentioned in this one. Who do you think is doing the "incognito jazz hands." That's all you my friend, lol

I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the feedback. I read somewhere that highly socially intelligent introverts tend to attract low socially intelligent extroverts and we get trapped because we are too polite to walk away lol

the class was all about using constraints to write poetry. We picked a picture of a place and wrote about it then we were instructed to pair it down to 30 syllables then 15. I think the point was to end up with a haiku but I really liked the middle version. If you are perplexed then maybe I get it because I know the original story but the rest of the world is like “huh”. If it stinks of fishes I can delete it :)

I love this poem. Such a beautiful tribute to someone we love but aren’t meant to be with forever. I’m totally into tarot too.
