Arielle Howze Poems

I wanted to avert my eyes but....

Charismatic energy radiating off of you compelled me to hold your gaze
...

Your tarred hands tainted me
Dirty scars in plain sight
Monsters do more than bite
They mark territory
...

Beat me
Beat me until my tongue knows what the iron in my blood tastes like
Beat me until my nose drips scarlet
Until my eyes are violet
...

You saw my transparency
A clear juxtaposition from your very opaque nature
Like a bird you were deceived and found that although I am transparent,
I am guarded
...

Your rhythmic breathing lulls me
Lures me
The rise and fall of your chest so steady
The metronome of your drumming heart
...

The sky is electric
Periodically, particles of energy charge the air
Brief moments of illumination
...

Desperately struggling between illusionary and real
Wear the mask
Become the character
A flawless unfaltering facade
...

She stalks me
Quietly shadowing
Creeping stealthily
Past obsessed
...

I watch as you inhale your hourly dose of nicotine
Enjoying the noxious aroma and the small billowing puffs escaping your lips
The way you hold your habit
So nonchalant in your hands
...

11.

When dreams supersede reality
Pillows are lovers
Under covers a freedom world is composed
Unconsciously cautious of mind
...

12.

Odd how the heat rising off your body makes me shiver
Chills
Pupils dilated
Frantic feral feline eyes
...

The Best Poem Of Arielle Howze

Ocular Tango

I wanted to avert my eyes but....

Charismatic energy radiating off of you compelled me to hold your gaze

I matched your intensity with feigned confidence

As you glided past me my false pretense was shattered and I gasped for the breath that your very stare siphoned from me

My heart slowed considerably then raced to overcompensate for its lapse in rhythm

We were moving just as fast as my heart yet time was distorted

The power of hypnosis lied within the portals of your eyes
You could charm a nun if you had the inclination

Chemistry transpired in our silly little staring contest
