I am tissy

When he gets home

If you listen
You just might hear
Crazy noises
Nothing to fear
Curious sounds
Bumps and plops
Lots of oohs and
Plenty of awwws
One might wonder
What's going on
Mom's door is locked
A light does creep
Casting a glow
From just beneath
She must be up
I am quite certain
I heard something
Won't you listen
Squeaks and rattles
And groaning moans
Can't mom hear it
It seems so loud
Surely something
Must be broken
Dad will fix it
When he gets home

Filtered

Filtered
Distance
Casting
Masking
This joy
Taken
From me
A word
Or more
To show
My worth
Still you
Are on
Your way
Trailing
Failing
Summons
My dark
Wrapping
Trapping
Failed art
I am
Falling
Apart
My pieces
Scattered
Betwixt
Between
A chasm
Within
We shall
Never
Mend or
Bend or
Yield we
Pretend
Only
Once a
Wish young
In truth
Yearns for
Something
At all
From you
Wrapped in
Stills and
Painted
Light blue
Troubling
Doubling
Holy
Calling
Seeking
To soothe
Help me
She writes
Wistful
Lonely
Broken
In two

Fester

Hey there, unheeded prayer
Let’s hang out for awhile
Fester and blister dear
All I am is who you are
Wishes are pennies and
I have a few, still I
Wish for a life brand new
Testify, give me you
Sweet darling speak your truth
Slam dunk, stay will you please
I ain’t going nowhere
This is me on my knees
Sometimes life brings you down
Shout aloud, let it out
Crazy town, say goodbye
Mediocrity ain’t
No crime, just killing time
Until we meet next time
