Jordan Griffiths Poems

I fell asleep with my jeans still on.
the light shining away.
My tv humming with a soft murmur,
Late night infomercials a static lullaby.
...

With the love of the storm he burns without sound,
And each brush of the lips surges with
Electric currents.
Like clouds heavy and dense,
...

can’t possibly be human.
A broken porcelain doll perhaps,
With a perfect painted face
Always smiling.
...

You told me to turn it up.
Better than any other three word phrase.
So I did.
We shared that bus seat,
...

Just south of the yellow brick road,
Where you’re lulled to sleep in a pale river, and whisked awake by saltwater and screams.
Paper daisies lose their petals, with blooms where
He loves me not.
...

a forgotten voice.
a song i used to know,
a sharpness in the dulcet acoustic rhythms
playing in the background while we’re
...

she stares out the window
fingers touching her lips,
Striving to catch the shadow of that
orange soda kiss.
...

Running through my mind, your shoes streaming in the sunlight.
One step,
two steps,
three.
...
