Topographically Poems | Examples


My Poetess

By Parizo Van Thulare

Your lines so powerful 
Deeper and deeper i'm falling 
From planet earth to mars i became a believer 

You are a horsepower in ferarri 
Your stanzas run wild as those wheels of Bugatti 
Snoaring and roaring as the angine of Maserrati 
At a speed of Lambhoghini 
They toast my soul toppingly 
They roast my emotions topographically 


Mend me more with those rhyming lines 
Keep on inverting those inspiring words

Fatal Moments

our heroes are conflicted
hanging cross-wise
riddled with choices

pock-marks on their skin
topographically hardened by
the spirit of humanity

from the instinctual urge to merge
with all its urgent need, the feast of senses, 
those vital moments in the grace of salt-sweat

the sticky sand in her bathing suit
fingered open by an eager bull-dog marine
on her beach of girlish dreams, he'd

leave her there to shiver in anguish
bloody with catholic guilt 
while the child she was, lay dying 

she sacrificed herself 
probing her wounds over 'n over
for some strength in the sore points

she couldn't avoid the larger mission
by going into caves of martyrdom
to float away on some dark ship of no return

she didn't understand social expectations
so became wrought by burden
and a loss for words

she'd refrain from back-room surgery
not knowing the cold-cut of stainless steel
nor redemption from her mothers religion

her blood retreated in shame
the lock was on the door
so she bore me in the secret fear she couldn't bear anymore
