Curled Up Poems | Examples


Curled Up With a Ghost

The natural C of the human body forms 
Grazing the white, tender sheets of a stained life 
We curl up to mimic the form of a ghost and lively heart
The texture of calloused fingertips grace the indents of my hips 

Curled up with a ghost who doesn’t know how to love 
What an awful way to die

Curled Up Not Dying

Curled up and sighing
Longing to be free
Curled up not dying 
And nowhere else to be

Curled up stop prying
He is not ready
Curled up and sighing 
He’ll not surrendered be 

Curled up and fighting 
With all the strength he has
Curled up but striving 
From rest and moments had

Curled Up

Her skin white, drained
Her expression dark, pained
Eyes staring out, completely blank
Hair lifeless, dank
Her fingers curled, still
In her mouth, a cyanide pill

Curled Up

peaceful dreams in its warm lair
hibernating unaware
scent of hunter in the air…. 
fuzzy little bear

Lashes Curled Up

Masculine female
with little splats of femme 
I like the boy in you 
It's what got my attention
but your heart beats 
purely feminine 
your so unique
I I think I need a vitamin
to handle a dose of you and me
such intensity rarely exists 
in the heterosexual world
I'll be your girl if you'll be 
my girl. 
you have little distinct features 
that makes you irresistible
Cap on backwards 
but your lashes are curled up
It's like the best of both worlds
and I am a sucker 
she let you go
so now it's me you
should pucker up for.

Curled Up With Shakespeare

I was curled up 
with Shakespeare 
on frayed pages 
with dog ears

marveling
at the depth of words 
nuances read 
between lines 

knowing that 
many hands 
had turned 
the same pages 


reaching 
different conclusions 
and evoking 
myriads of emotion 

my fingers 
touched the spine 
shivering 
with history 
connected 
through thought 
and with imagination 
running wild 

and I mourned 
for the children 
in todays world 
who's Shakespeare visits 
on flashing lights
and computer bites 

lost is
the old world charm 
such as Elizabeth wrote 
and Robert devoured 
ferociously

my tears fell
upon parched pages 
leaving 

an indelible stain 
that would be seen 
and felt by others 
who reached and touched 
the words 


I realized that
tears on a screen 
would only be 
wiped away 
without memory 
of the emotion 
that was elicited 

 

leaving nothing at all  
for history 

to record...
