Flawed Silence: Five Poems

November 22, 2016 Sunni Hutton

 

Flawed Silence

Written she lapsed my eyelids curse
Never subjugated to her thoughts worse
Dreaming of twinkled themes her subconscious works
Works night and day because her lips she tamed
Her words released could leave bodies slain
Quiet in spite of riveting details
Still her mouth only inhales
Their thoughts she thunk perhaps prematurely
Yet values is retained, despite a lack in alluring
Ergo he answers she knows, her with untold
Insights take heights outside minds control
Hence, her lips she preps, bites skin, then licks
What wonder, I wonder, awaits such bliss

unkwown 1

the universe balances back and FORTH, – searching for what is good.

unknown 2

when engrossing meets supplication

The worries of a tortured kind
               seem to wither away

unknown 3

Botched noses for treats
Butchered knees for pleas
Flippin mansions for egos
Flippin burgers for pesos

His – story she told
Cotton-eared and unknown

Green apple

I, grace your skin shamelessly
Not grieving over patience se(a)
Salt be the taste my tongue doth need
And,
You embrace kiss faithfully
Praising amazing gracefully
Forevermore your deity
Clocks lock this moment in memory
Don’t stop we’ll top innumerably
In,
Dreams depicted perfectly
Lie, get high talk galaxies
And then comprehend our meant to be
Taking in our sin, re-freshingly
Yourr,
Playful-ly abating me
Toxicity became a beautiful thing
I’m leading on fragility – held captive
by insecurity
Reverse these hurt inversely
Unknowing my hurts these verses bleed

As well as motivate populations to action such as graduates of InspireSTL, Magdalene St. Louis' employees, St. Louis Public Radio's We Live Here, Green Party Rally, and Socialist Alternative's Mass March.
