Dana Korneisel Poems

She lay in the thoughts of that dark chocolate day
of the bitter, delectable sort of a way
He had of making her see him and say
I want you,
...

I can practically see you lying there
I can practically feel your voice weave round a name
The way your chest is moving
as you breath in deep
...

Be I wolf or be I leopard
I am neither sheep nor shepherd
And I know fate don't pick favorites
From the darkness of the day
...

I miss you, love,
please come to me,
those hours between dusk and dawn.
...

The sanguine macabre
The bitter sweet salt
Of blackstrap molasses on blood
...

I know she needs you, needs you more
Than I, just for to live
I know she makes you smile and laugh
And that you'd gladly give
...

Safety in numbers,
a world with less anger
tolerate.
everyone.
...

8.

It'll crumble
that old refuge
give it a few days,
it'll be gone,
...

40 days till paradise
40 days, make it clean
40 nights till you'll arrive
40 nights? ripping seams,
...

Staring at you
Across that granite slab
Seeing in your eyes
Those words that you said
...

The misty purple sky says it's morning.
A dreary eyed, shivering morning

What happened to that old dreamed of morning
...

Kőnnen wir ganz zeit zusammen sein
Kőnntest du mein Hand in dein fűhlen
Kőnnte ich dein warme Kuss haben
...

Ever-weather
Friendly seizing
Roughly smooth and glassy
Flowing solid
...

Strawberry White, Strawberry White,
strawberry white painted lips
Somewhere inside, somewhere inside,
somewhere inside t'dark wood ship
...

A veinèd fan,
A painted world
And needles of stark light.
...

The rain throws mist up to the trees
It's raining diamonds, love.

A white frost emblazons the edges of gold leaves
...

"Then I'd hold it, that moment, until I couldn't take it any longer"

***
...

Like amber and honey
Like the bright tones of your eyes
On their lightest days
...

Here we are again
Saying goodbye.

Find the tears are missing from my eyes
...

Dana Korneisel Biography

I grew up in Western Michigan. I have not left the Midwest but moved for high school and am now in college. I started writing seriously my senior year of High School, in 2010, the first semester. During this time I stuck to prose with only a few jumps into poetry. Two summers ago I really started writing poems. I found them a way to organize and analyze my thoughts and feelings. I found in words a connection to the world and meditation.)

The Best Poem Of Dana Korneisel

Dark Chocolate Days

She lay in the thoughts of that dark chocolate day
of the bitter, delectable sort of a way
He had of making her see him and say
I want you,
I love you,
I need you to stay.

She lay on that dreame, wrapped in thin silver vines
All warped and distorted, turned rust green by time
With thorns of her Old Ways lashed in her side
and thoughts of the old days, of rhythm and rhyme.

She lay by him lonely, just her and her mind
She watched the black clock gears warp as they whined
Called him back from the days where there was so much time
I love you,
I miss you,
To know that you're mine.
