Poem #188 (Power of the Mind)

Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

The power of the mind

comes alive in the darkness

of the dreams,

they drift and

destroy the world, fading

into the sun,

into the sky.

Poem #187 (Snags in the Details)

carpet clean, woven polyester

mind torn up, the fabric ripped

at the edge, snagged on toenails

and calloused heels. Different

eyes in the carpet, look cold and

watching upwards for passerbys.

 

I felt like experimenting a little bit with this. Thank you for reading my work! I hope you will return in the future! If you want to read more of my poems please subscribe to the email list for notifications!

Thank you,

Poem #185 (I am the Body of the Night)

Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Eyes that look and dream of

heaven under the body

of the night, I am dreaming

of a sky that bleeds and spins

in the body of the night.

I am the body, I am the night

the mind is bleeding, alive

in the sky.
