Brushing Poems - Poems about Brushing


Brushing
Circling and scraping. Bristly and comforting. When I brush my teeth. It’s never that bad. But getting out of bed is the hard part. I find myself wishing someone would bring me my toothbrush. I could brush my teeth in my sleep. Instead, I’m lonely. I’m late so I spring out of bed, suddenly. Circling the room, anxiously. The carpet scraping my feet. Fearful that...

Our voices only reach so far Our ears and eyes fail As do our...

Brushing Past
I can’t touch that part of you That wall can not be breached You won’t let down your defenses That separate you from me Stuck in a chain of moments That were not meant to last Telling it to my memories When I relive the past Face down in this recollection From the time that you were here Moving in your own direction Brushing past when...
