Natasha Ashwe Poems

I trust the night
I trust the stars that shine
I trust the moon
I know its love’s divine
...

It’s a rock song and I won’t let you in it
Step away from my maelstrom
Bits of torn metal shred me to bits to submit
My soul to the earsplitting blast of drums
...

I know of a beautiful flower
With a sense beguiling fragrance
Where nectar like honey flows
With a sting
...

He sucks out my brain when he speaks
And I'd like to cup his in a glass
Watch it monkey dance like mine
My fellow gemini
...

I love to watch you
My eyes become moths drawn by a flame
And you flicker in directions
That are fingers and thumbs on a guitar that’s playing
...

To soar up to the mountains of the heaven's shimmering storm foils
Our minds like weightless carriages tear through light, lift us beyond
Where the mirrors part and shadow and fire twist in and out of voids
And chasms lay open wide the secrets of those once distant apparitions
...

Do you do darkness?

Do you close your eyes to breath in the substance of
...

[musing on life and existence when Kitty died]

Parallel lines,
Each of us,
...

I watched a moon show last night
Somehow it made everything al'right
The sky was emptying down universe in its amazing way
An expanding concave surface breaching billions of galaxies far away
...

His jaw
Was clean and lean
And colors reflected twice as sharply
Amongst the flickering glints
...
