Under the Poles

[ Last set ] [ Next set ]


All poetry by Kat Angus. About bouncing 'between the poles': between extreme high, extreme low.. about making a fool of myself, seeing things in different lights and love.

-Pitfall-

Lying here
empty bottle at my side

whispers
floating over my head

"my problem.. only mine.."
"..what did she do that for?"
"..think she'll be okay?"
"i think she's insane.."
"wish i could.. reach her.."
"..is she breathing or what?"

cut it out already.
i'm not dead.
just cold
drunk
and scared.

I'm sorry
i let you down,
slipped down the ravine
running from you
running from it all.

yes, i know.
i should wear better shoes.


-911-

Dust clearing
black, blue and yellow
among the rubble
debris scattered
life shattered
as the twins fell.

Helpless crying
solemn faces, eyes closed
prayers for all
thousands mourning
a dawning
as the great cities burn.

Wishing i could change the channel
wishing this horror "movie" would end
can we escape this nightmare?
the greatest power
wounded
by hatred.


-Sin Kit-

nothing torn.
just bent.
inside, the deaths
born from cold blood

tears of ice
nail my sin
upon the wall

whisper your troubles
cryptic and cracked

dark echo
hidden grief
moved me here to you

black forest
white soul.


-Inner child-

rhythm
wild girl
feeling magic
body sugar

dark blues
free muse

loose hair
golden light
speak love
break the beat

hand jive
rock
juice

then holding him
loving him,
she sleeps.


-Alarm-

full heart
open soul
silver light

i kiss
his silent face
lost in dream
heated breath
gaze
whisper
wait

then as
he wakes
embrace him
with reckless fire
cradling
his
chin
in my palms

skin to skin
two hearts
two halves.


-The Grove-

morning moon
wind ripple
as if
after a storm
sound drops
rain drifts
scattered branches

light gleams
like
fire
among a
field
lighting
small clouds
over the sea

the open surface,
my blank canvas,
the covering
night.


-The search-

You know what?
I loved you.
So much.
i felt my heart
would burst
if it was
allowed
to meet
you.

I still love you,
but it springs
from elsewhere;
a different side
district
room
of my heart.

Taking you
in your short doses
admiring you
seeing in you
what i knew only i
would ever see.

i loved you
more
than you ever knew.

But hey.
My wish did come true.
I did find love.

Just not yours.
And that's okay.
