Poetry
Living Without A Dream is a collection of poems about what should happen, what shouldn't happen, and allowing myself to dream about things that probably will never happen. It's an exploration of my deepest desires, and of waiting for a life to begin when my life has already begun. It's about love, hope, and faith in oneself.
We all deserve to dream, even if we've forgotten how.
The collection itself is of an 107-poem length spanning different ideas, troubles, issues, and excerpts exploring whether or not dreams deserve to happen, and a life that has been filled with loss.
This collection is available in an ePub and PDF on Armida Warrior and Etsy as a zip file, containing both versions. Available to read on all eReaders, including computer reading apps, smartphones, and tablets.
Plastic Glass
crippled straw
bend on over
drink a spear through
plastic glass
throat is sore
sorry is recognition
throat gets more
spears of coal
and phishing line
Plastic Eyes
tiredness rolls tired eyes
round a skull heavy to die
dice in fingerprints and sand
waterbed ready for jumping instead
nineteen-nineties period water
blood upon a shelf
tired eyes rolling upon a doll
it moved each time i caught a breath
chasing shadows into bed
blood disappeared with a plastic head
Red Run
a dot of red jelly, jam
under a thumb, a thumbprint
of cookies giving a bigger crumb
footprint in concrete, tell us
where to place our feet
before the thumbjam
teaches us to run
WolfBottle
fists fractured
from throwing punches
thumbs cracked under
pressure of fists
knees ruptured
under carrying
weights
larger than sharks
and bigger than wolves
carry me the way
only a fist can, an
empty beer bottle
in your hand
