About me - Brandy Alexanderr

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dark poems: 66 of 1148

Sparrow Traverse the ruins of fairy tales From way back and Once upon a time, To see footprints filled in By the sand while Idealizing saccharine dreams. Sailing through the sublime, Time is a contortionist And illusion is his strength. Burning the candle in the hour glass And sweeping the scythe of death As he dangles a chi...

Twenty Candles This is my quiet time, Here in the edgy solitude Of my darkened living room, Twenty candles dimly Burning after midnight. My husband has long since Delved into peaceful slumber, And my future children returned To the shadows of my shyest dreams. This is where I level with myself, One on one to face my lies and...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: In a rut: 3 of 23

Emotionless Motionlessness The calm after the storm Blank pages in my book Cause no alarm And make no sense All nonsense The salty seaside air Should readily sting But instead causes a Sleepy restlessness like A parasol on the breeze Taking flight on Lacy wings of discontent.
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Passion: 54 of 392

Backseat Lovers Two occupy backseat In the daylight Shrouded by the trees casting Gray shadows on the lake. Rolling glory Thrusting quickly Fiercely take their moment And run away with it, They feel they can't be seen. A hiking mother turns her head, A jogging father grins a little grin. So impetuous are the young and moved,...

Goliath Lessons I was sitting in my yard this morning, bundled up in three tee shirts under the USMC sweatshirt my husband Chuck brought back from Iraq because it's chilly outside, when I had the most ridiculous type of enlightenment possible. Bestowed upon me from the divine realms it would seem, a most bewildering sense of...

Bar Fly Baby Little piece of patience How your eyes howl On your beaten bar stool. A sweet, smoky renaissance Where politics and love, Sex and abandon Tickle the cilia in your ear. Jovial laughter and escapism Hang pungently in the air, But your eyes give all Of your intentions away. You aren't here to be the joker, You aren...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I long for you: 80 of 328

You say you cannot fly As I watch you levitate Winged hearts in your palms The trait you love to hate By some wicked power Of the earth or of your own You do what others can't What others don't condone And while they are condemning You for what they do not understand I am drawn to your angelic light A sleeping heart placed i...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Soldiers: 72 of 203

Army Wife Army wife With no social life, My hope hangs by a thread. Unused Christmas decorations Are dangling in my head. I never had the chance to Kiss my husband quite enough Before he involuntarily fled. Army widow With an empty pillow, Poses vacancy for a head. Unused Christmas decorations Have been quietly laid to rest....

For My Memories I'm staring out that picture window darling I'll be staring with an aching heart Until they tell me you can come home My half of our heart continues fervently beating Telling me that I must go on For after tonight there will come dawn Despite this haunting loneliness If I look into the window long enough Bare...

Lament Someday I shall die. Someday soon I hope. For Life, the grand journey, Is not so wonderful. It's the end which really Counts. If it be Hell I should Be damned to, Then I should suffer no More than I do now. If it be Heaven I am Gifted with, Thank God my walk is Done. Death, please be inclined To marry me. I've been en...
