Far Bridge Dream

Steam
Lifts lemon drops
Drifting demon
Developing whispers
Clean goal
Wild path
Dirty stepping stones

Dream
Wayfaring whispers
Calming shudders
Culminating kisses
Fair play
Unbiased action
Ruthlessly in love

Impasse
Passive glimpse
Of impassive impossibilities
A far bridge dream
That rises and falls
Blinks and fades
Loves and hates

  • This is a collection of poetry all written by me (Florence), and posted here for the purpose of storing everything someplace easily accesible. I know there are lots of poems that might seem to you to be gloomy or brackish, and you might wonder why I would post these for other people to read. I am posting those because, taken in context, they are a part of me and where I come from, and I want to store them here. I guess I see them as the way by which I have come to where I am, and I owe my current happiness to every weird and essential stage I went through. I don't necessarily advise that you get into them, or that, God forbid, you should be inspired to write emo poetry of your own, but I didn't post any SUPER bad ones. And they're all mostly...humorous, almost, if you realize how old I was. Very normal, normal stuff. I haven't written any poetry in a long time, and so even though the most recent stuff is all angsty and teenagerish-ly emotional, I am no longer stuck in that place of murky thoughts, and I have gone on into the realm where life is simple and happy. Yay! End of long disclaimer!!
