Jade Deakins Poems

You constructed me to walk on water
But taught me only to drown
To you I once looked up
Now my eyes desire the ground
...

Ink carries no meaning
It's anchored within the words you write
Like a four letter word merely fallen from your seductive tongue to summon the night
Is by no means meaningful inside
...

Let me bare your bones beneath my skin
I want to feel what you feel
I itch to unfasten the wounds you bind with safety pins
Your unbearable sorrows, the cuts so deep delaying time of its heal
...
