Folding(A) Poems | Examples


Fearful Nights

Falling of dark 
Folding a fear in me
Brings rain if it’s 
Increasing by another fold
My fear
Not now
But when I was small

Turn the Page

I pondered
Unanswered
I wondered
What, when and how to do it
I had a book in my hands
Question still unanswered
Turning over a page 
What, when and how to do it
Using a bookmarker
Leaving the book; as new
Or; folding a corner
What, when and how to do it
The book captured me
The end was near
Only three chapters
What, when and how to do it
The clock was ticking
After all; tomorrow 
Was almost today
And I; I left
I left; her

She Use To Drive a Blue Dodge

How can I explain my love for you 
When I’m judging you 
Afraid of every subject 
You bring to my attention 
Things on your vision board 
Gained your intuition 
You’re intuitive I’m a pessimistic 
We both God’s students I’m Muslim
You Christian 
Who gives a 
Chuck Taylor ties like I’m hooping 
But I’m just tired of falling for old games
I seen girls 3 times bad as you like the blue print 
But I’m use to holding in
But this seems like I’m folding a letter with date on it 
Chinese fold
Then it’s a bomb away 
Throwing shots to your direction 
We older it’s a section 
If I die tomorrow let’s make kids our  complexion 
I was one year after 5 during 9/11 
I get nervous and disguise the weather 
And it means nothing but you ask God why are we catching 
So many feelings when we don’t even how long we here 
At the moment bring closer to your ears
I whispered that I love you and the butterflies reappear
I once stopped and got paint brushes from sears

Thy Promise

Keep postponing the inevitable
The price indelible on our psych
May be let it all just burn down
Tumble down in ashes..
Should that we let it all end..

To what gain then shall it be
Your delight still in their sons
Your joy in the sons of men
So is there a price too steep
Should U let it all end..

What hope for the unborn
The ones still in diapers
Unable to fathom the truth
Them darkening waters

The sacred promise
Glory of Zion..
Gateway to the first
Settlement.. 
Banks of river Gihon

Pilgrims shedding tears of Joy
A sight be-folding a city of promise
New Jerusalema.. will it ever be

Should I let it all burn.
Dream turn to ashes..
Gates shutting.. 
Pillars splitting
Fires re lighting
Ushering in Judgement.

Roll Play Action

ROLL PLAY ACTION 

 Her way of folding a laptop
 her way of ignorance of things,which is 
 her way of holding the things  when she smile things like 
 Roll of emotions day by day in a play of Action.

The Pyjamas

The Pyjamas 

And you have your pyjamas on and think is this the way they are 
going to find me tomorrow so you get up change into a clean one
The green one that looks lively like someone about to join a party 
that was delayed by a sudden death.
“Doesn’t he look lovely? Did you know his tan came from a bottle? 
Vain but otherwise he was ok, his habit of folding a sock in his 
crotch to give the impression he was well endowed, ludicrous should 
someone showing an interest. Nevertheless, he always gave me a lift 
when I was going into town, he asked for nothing only that I let him
touch my breasts, he gave me 20 Euros.
I didn’t ask for the money- I’m not a whore- he just liked me.” 
Look at him in his casket my sister used to clean his house once 
a week and take clothes to the laundry, she always doubled the bill
I think he knew but never let on he did.
Then it was morning, I had a hot shower tested the blood sugar 
Normal as usual but I’m bored of eating so much cabbage.

Refolding the Paper Crane

I tried folding a paper crane again the other day
  and  it didn't turn out right

tracing back my folds,
I knew I missed somewhere

unfolding, re-creasing, refolding
just tracing my fingers back

fingers 
    feeling the paper
and beyond

A three-minute fold
times 10 now

Even if I needed to do other things,
I paid no mind, determined to fold that crane

I had to get this right.
I had to.

Almost there...

As it turns out, 
I only missed one step,
--something to do with its wings, I believe...

Amazing how a single step
could be so important.

Stretching its wings now,
the paper crane 
soars proudly on my palm...
So beautiful.

In refolding this paper crane,
I hope I never forget...

Amazing how easily things slip from our minds, 
but more amazing
is when our hearts Do remember.

We remember, 
   and then we Do something...

...I have hundreds of paper cranes yet to fold,
it may be taking me far longer 
than what I had initially planned...

but yes, you are in my thoughts,
   you are in my prayers...

and I shall continue folding these cranes.

...I revel in the thought, for that moment,
when I can send them flying towards the Sun...
