with hands so solid
make something of me

Sea of Poppies
seductive syrupy sea
embraces heavily
crimson encircles the body slowly
how sweet
to dream
indefinitely

The Body
onyx fingers curl
and stretch
through stone and steal
through blood and death
heaven glows in all of her
the sky below
the sea above
coming slowly
like the daylight
orange, red, and yellow flow
all is brilliant
like the morning
worn but strong in clouds of silk
“The Body” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
Jealous Sea
the sherbet sky burns over the bruised mountains below
while the jealous sea thrashes about frantically
with watchful swollen eyes
and tired blood that no longer has strength to flood
legs stand
flacid arms fall
faint memories of when we
we were once able
to embrace it all

Transition
floating through autumn,
he tastes something sweet
in orange and burgundy
leaves
as they fall
snow on the back
of the heat
as it travels
to spring
in the lands that are far
far away

Nature Love
symphony of pink and gold
disguises discord
in my past

Love’s Sting
Climb a mountain
with the thorns
of singing roses
on your lips
kiss me slowly
true and quiet
so I’ll learn
the pain of love

Only Pain will Please the Queen
With
hands of Bronze and golden voice
she strikes a fear into your bones
a crown of velvet
red and mean
burns shadows
on both
sand and sea
a storm of vicious hell and fire
splits through all she deems unclean
goodbye, goodbye
to joy
to love
for only pain will please the queen
