Origami Bird

I’m about to fall again
Gabriel come, blow your horn!
don’t be a baby girl,
grow up already!
you’ve danced this dance
10,001 times before,
did you forget your Lover’s face?
was he too conniving for you?
did you cower under his
magic shield?
there is nothing here
but your own puppet strings
never was,
get off your knees
rag doll!
stand up, stand tall
and fall,
perhaps this time
time will tell no one
you have yet to learn
how to fly right,

Madonna of the paper moon,

they’ve cut off your paper wings
and you’re bleeding
rosewater ink again,
you can’t even write this
damned poem down,
you’re only as poor as your
fullest begging bowl

you’re only a paper teardrop away
from drowning in the paper night,
perfect creature of a paper flight.

ok, this work,

is difficult, quite profound themes with pop imagery. It has a lot of meaning roiling and toiling within. Not for a lazy reader. I am embarrassed but it requires higher cognitive values than I have right now, will come back to it. cheers, Jess

Your Beautiful

You trully are so what more can I say,your soul is a light that exposes the true Anna and I see a beautiful intoxicating invigorating illuminating (pause) had to take a breathe.I just used too many B.I.G.words,Hilarious ain't it I'm not from Brooklyn; but your words just Hypnotize Me.Your so addictive but let me stop right there, I'm getting scary ; I'm not a stalker.I'm a lover of great poetry and Anna your poetry is so beautiful that this single 27 year old aspiring rap artist has found his self wingless.A young sparrow who fell from the nest in front of a sexy female cougar,which at this time he makes a request. Hey if you want to eat me can you at least be swift My life is in your hands if you must devour Can you be it Quick? Peace and Love Rolwright P.S. Check this video out if you get the chance Notorious B.I.G. Hypnotize [email protected] I hope somebody didn't make that a website already

Nah, rolwright… I

Nah, rolwright... I wouldn't do THAT... although once in a while I have been known to smile like the canary that ate the cat...;-) I can't get on the sight... it takes me to GMail... and I don't have it. Love. Peace. Light. ~Anna
