Ana Burnhep

A happy girl
And a happy man
She so happy to be with him
...

How sad it is to be
Someone who refuses to care for me

How barren is your heart
...

...

Divine
Tangled Arms
A wind that carries them on
Approaching secrets
...

Not just another victim of statistic
This is not where it goes

Thought he should know
...

Was that wholesome feeling squandered without proper departure?
To realize that these feelings will amply grow,
only to know,
That the grievance of what slipped through,
...

She braided her hair

Then laid upon the bed
...

There was something so awakening

At that moment
...

So desperately she tried to make him understand
That if he sketched her heart
He would draw nothing but a shape
...

The sun came without hope
Oil ran into the streets
Formed a mirage of faces that laughed at me
...

This untrusting city
Bleeds in Oil
On the concrete
...

Why is this heart permitted
to create such a compass in my life?

Why do I sit and suffer
...

Long French Braided hair
Deep brown eyes that stare
From directly across the room
...

Pillow sobbed wet
She void of breath
Shake!
Awake!
...

Dark Almond eyes do penetrate you
Leaving you naked and vulnerable
to her
They unfold and expose
...

Clear blue eyes
Muddy as glass
Not like the sea
Take a cut into me
...

My head throbbed
Then I slapped my Cheek
As the tears fell onto my lap
Reflection muddled by grey burning glass
...

Sitting
Waves rolled
Crashed with contempt
Never washing the dirt
...

Only a broken heart can know
How lonely it can be at night
The wrestling of the sheets
So starched an uncomforming
...

...
