Best Cate Poems

You reminded me again, not to be late.
That I shouldn't let you hate.
What we have because it's delicate.
That you are fed up, trying to put me upright.
Talking about how much money I waste.
On things that ain't important.
Some that I buy off the internet.
Not to mention,...

Recollections waft
across my mind like
wisps of soft white spores - 
the vague remnants of
my memory’s threads.

Spring’s sun-gold heads
I now can‘t hold!
But glimpsing them,
I can recall. . ..

a young girl
blowing fluff
and wishing

time would
quickly 

pass.

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING 

Hear Ye, Hear Ye,
Oh Daughters of the King.
From creation’s crown, to our glorious gown,
Let Heaven and nature sing!

Awake, Align, Acclimate,
Bring it on, Beautify.
Cutie-fy, Culminate, 
Culinary Captivate. 

Duty bound, Dedicate,
Delish the Dish, Decorate,
Dare to Dance, Demonstrate,
Dance before the King! 

Embark upon, Easy...

There once was a cool guy named Jack
Jack o’ lanterns attacked his back 
	Witch Cate blew straight through
	Umbrella askew
She saved the famed wizard Jack Black

   C-section. Crabby, she
      couldn’t control her moods.

I battle with English
They often ask as me where I'm from
I reply, "not from the English"
I live with in the west with my mom

No siblings no pet just books to read
I read grandfathers books, in my language
In English I know the little I need
I always...

She gives you her number, you remember
She is brown to the sun
Her figure is one well bottomed
She is well bosomed
Her lips so glossy
And her hips bouncy
You remember,
You felt the thirst and felt the lust
You did not surrender.

Gave her a call at night
Told her she looks...

Let’s hear three cheers for the decade of disinfectant!
Clean out your insides with cheap vodka!
Blow your brains out with Nirvana!
Your breath reeking of teen spirits,

Does weed count as a vegetable?

You’re getting your five a day,
Candyman on the corner
Selling sweets for afters,

Don’t forget the medicine cabinet...

“Deep, deep, deep. Listen and hear our faint gait.
Sanitation, fluorescent lights, and a PC pillow for smother.
Agree! Agree! Atone! Suck it in and suff-o-cate.
White-ness. Black. Ev’ry creed, faith, and color. Listen to Nanny State and call her your mother.”

A wilting flower and grass that’s mowed
Are...

Here Comes The Rain
by Cate Rock

Here comes the rain again.
It washes down like a flood,
Here comes the hope again,
Watch out for the slippery mud,

Let me run again,
Run far away,
Let my wings fly open,
I pray...

Let my broken wings take flight.
Fly out on the lake around midnight.
Let...

Frozen frame melted.
by Cate Rock

A seen frozen in time.
A tape i can not rewind.
I cant pull out the movie and replace it with a happier one.
I cant write the book and make this better.

I cant erase you from my mind.
...Why wont this tape rewind?

I look...

A Dying Love.
by Cate Rock

An exposed neck.
Fangs hidden under heavy kisses.
A desire to become one with this vampire.
A dress on the floor,one more kiss,
Just one more.
I reach out for the door... He's gone to far.
I'm dead in the fire.
Draining of blood, SO much desire.
Becoming, becoming,...

Can't Sleep
by Cate Rock

Dying dying.
She lays out 
Cold,
Weak,
& crying.

A perfect love is what she had.
One who was always smiling 
...never ever mad.

Her broken heart told a story indeed.
One of what she wanted...
...but not what she'd need.

A hollow kind of happy,
a twisted kind of hope,
a weak...

My Wait For Grand.
by Cate Rock

I walk to my shelter as the earth trembles beneath my feet. 
I walk into happiness with the world on my shoulders...
I step lightly past graves and tombs,
I walk past even you...
I find my light right where i lost it...
I...

The Fallen Angel.
by Cate Rock

Rain falls rapidly upon a pale white face,
hair dripping, soaked in rain, and her ominous pain.

A small shapeless girl, with an upturned face,
a faithless little angel who's fallen from grace.

Her weight shifted from the one side to another,
no force in the...
