Creases Poems


Premium MemberCreases Huitain

Infiltrated each other’s soul,
now we are a complete image;
Neither of us given control,
conduits for this right of passage;
Restless responds to a cajole,
yes we are mosaic pieces;
The vision makes sense as a whole,
seamlessly blended soft creases.

Almost Absent of Character Creases

Sometimes while laughing I wonder tis not
because it's not humor and I ask sought
I don't view it was meant for us to cry
maybe we wouldn't snicker either nigh

Perhaps the models spot something we don't
premature wrinkles isn't the truth tone
I rarely do smile when pictures are made
they are always forced and turned to a fade

Gooseberries and Sharp Creases

GOOSEBERRIES AND SHARP CREASES

The plumpest, juiciest, hairiest gooseberries
My grandfather grew in a circular bed,
Dead centre of the immaculate lawn.
And blackcurrants under netting,
And a Victoria plum tree in the far corner.

Of selfless service nothing could erase.

In one crease I saw myself at age four
Crying out at night for her wearied embrace.
My teen disrespect was there—and more.
Each crease disclosed another disgrace.

Affronts of all kinds were in

In Creases

I could feel my heart folding itself
like one of those kirigami stars
when you spoke so sweetly

My words became frantic, flitting about like fireflies
as they spat wishes upon the blank midnight sky

Perhaps I thought I could steal you from everyone, 
press you like paper
in the creases of my dream

but darling, this exquisite moment
is starting to unfold
