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.
...

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
...
