Shelby Barker Poems

Watch out
Watch as
your friends start to dissolve
cotton candy on your tongue
...

They say writing is therapy;
Making words out of your feelings
is supposed to make it better
But how ‘bout people like me
...

apathy comes and apathy goes but don’t make me say it
apathy comes when I’m alone, don’t make me
home remedies don’t make me
...

I love you too much
...

It is the purest droplet in the ocean;
a sweet, unparalleled sound it makes
as it falls from the sky and remains uncontaminated.
Through the sifting of the waves
...

What one can see into -
the future? they claim…
the past? oh, Seraph insists…
Lovers see cascades in the light of each other
...

Tell me the difference between
not hurting
and being numb.
How do you know whether to
...

Let’s say we tango
to the jazz of our life expectancies
Straight-faced but mockingly
Or we could always salsa
...

take thy bread, thy wine to your parched lips;
breathe me in, with the most shallow sips
into an abyss
holding more meaning than the last Kiss we Kissed;
...

Motive is the former in "cause and effect": it is why,
and it is how,
Like gravity making our tides
and our rain,
...

A thought that I know should not
be said, having consequences
imagined and my mind aware,
is spoken with my point
...

I'll bring you lodges of blankets, you're afraid of the weather bringing cold feet and shivers up your spine and out your mouth you can't control, even though you're warm

I'll bathe in liquid ribbon for you, for when you question your ability to untangle from me, so that you can stretch away and return to my caresses unafraid
...

Warm breezes bring tickling
grasses to our bare toes as I
glance up to you -
Your hypethral eyes are the perfect reflection
...

I spoke to myself in the mirror tonight
because I am the daughter of the
few things seen in the hue of my lit candles.
I spoke to myself and tried
...

Thoughts of you take me
and I am at the sea
Standing and gazing at the
indistinguishable blue horizon and it
...

There is a sweet song hummed
by sweet blue icicle breath to vibrate fuzzy
melancholic bones, a song warm with a tick
tock softness, a song
...

I remember the day you
left me. You had to
unslip from me like a glove.
Still, I clung to you
...

20.

Five elements make
Ten thousand things, and you are
My ten-thousand-five.
...
