jennifer killian Poems

This is not a poem for you
It is a poem to erase you
...

She moves with the kind of beauty
That only an inner stillness brings
A knowledge;
A certainty
...

The trees are bare now
only a few stubborn leaves hang on
There is no color, the sky has betrayed me
The wind is cold, a lonely, sad wind
...

I think I may be dying
(really)
My mind is numb
The numbness is spreading
...

You brought the rain
And then left the room
My red sin is gone, swirling down the drain
I am indebted to you
...

A million poems about you
Just blow around and around
In the dusty, cool air
There is no anchor,
...

Tomorrow was good, then.
Now the ticking of my watch
Listens to your slow breathing as you sleep
Counting the hours until…
...

My heart is in pieces this Valentine’s day
I’ll give anyone a piece,
Come, take one
it never belonged to me anyway
...

That damn passenger seat
It drives me crazy
You always tilted it back so far
It echoes and I miss you
...

I saw him coming
On horseback,
The animal flickering back and forth
As the shadows fell and rose over his beautiful black mane
...

11.

If it happened to you
They would be porcelain
And kept behind glass
...

12.

I am lost
But noone knows where to find me
I am alone
I can feel the warm ocean all around me,
...

Do you realize that just saying your name aloud to myself
Stops all thought
My eyes close, unbidden
And I am still, except for the beating of my heart
...

I feel you, you know, though we never touch
I feel much pain from you
I want to take your pain
And go to the beach together, late at night, just this once
...

15.

If it is true that we can create something truly remarkable
From scratch;
That a person can forge themselves
From sheer force of will and persistence;
...

Back and forth, back and forth
The madness is creeping in,
Through the seams
twisting, coursing through me
...

17.

I saw a bird yesterday,
It’s wings outstretched,
fying away from me
“a good sign” I thought
...

You have stolen my soul this winter night
Quietly; amidst the raging storm
Frozen, this blood of mine
My soul no longer wants, it has stopped
...

There are stories that only you know
And you keep them hidden deep inside your injured heart;
coals that burn you, red hot, when you touch them
You wish you could rid yourself of them
...

The Best Poem Of jennifer killian

A Poem Not For You

This is not a poem for you
It is a poem to erase you
stoke after stroke
you're almost nowhere now, almost
but something lingers
something permanent, I'm afraid,
something profound
Feel that, that pain?
That pain is not for you
It’s for me
This is not a prayer for you
It’s not my wish for you
It’s not anything
But a far-away break,
A tree falling,
That nobody notices except me
A poem not for you,
No, not for you
A poem for me
A poem to forget
A poem to die by
