Poems from Sharleen.igh
I am a short girl who compensates for her lack of height in the amount of things I have to say, when saying them out loud isn't enough, I write.
I sit in a broken glass table
Try to take my mind off all my troubles
These words spill out so easy
I can’t believe it.
Another book,...
You call at me like destiny
And fly out of my grasp with the wind
You tempt me with your grandeur
Only to take it all away with your greed...
It was there,
Always there.
In the long studio,
In the one room apartment,
In the new house,
In the green living room.
It was always...
I am five and I sit across my mother’s lap
Praying for a human toy to assuage
The eternal boredom that is my loneliness.
I am six and I...
I think the way the trees kiss the same wind
that knocks them off their roots is
as fascinating as
the woman who says goodbye to her lover...
