  • Some little things 🍀
    Tis Now – the time to buzz and squirm,With all the chaos teemingJust inches below our calm bright surface;Hordes edging – hedge dwellers daring –To breach our garden’s brims,To claim for their own – the upper Earth –The overground, to infiltrate our homes –And build castles in our crumbs What a quaint revolution to witness,SuchContinue reading “Some little things 🍀”
  • For Tomb and Tome
    They said their words then stood as Stone;Seasons become a day –When Time unveils the PassingBefore a Perfect face Some souls content with silence –Might hope sing Eterne,Once quelled voices – locked in Earth –Rise upon the Dawn Still, my Immortals command I listen –To old and extant echoes:There’s a breath to patina complexions,Epitaphs –Continue reading “For Tomb and Tome”
  • Some Questions for my Mortality
    Does Death long to greet me –Eager to meet – one Day?Or does he take me – regretfully,Sorry – I couldn’t stay – And does Life like to have me,Do I offer her – any Grace?Or will she be glad – once I’m away –Bound – for some other Place! Lillith May ©2022
  • Faux Fleur
    Plastic stems, petals in pastelled tulle;Immortality when I was never alive.I’d hate to be – a pretending thing,With a grace that never fades –And a Grace – that sweetly lies. Lillith May ©2021
  • Modus Operandi
    I trade my blade – for gentle flowers,My spiders – for fine silk,Then kiss the rose – bleed the hour –By my love’s thorns – to bilk And I, the villain, wrote my Truth;Still close – to a sin,I split the word – by gossamer tooth –To let the fabric sing You adore the beautyContinue reading “Modus Operandi”
  • Poe’s Ponderment
    Were I to kiss – the Lute of Olde –Found – in antiquity,The notes would fly – in rosen gold;For Ears – the Grace of Me Yet if Yesterday – filtered every tune,Left fresher lyrics – scarce,Slanted relevance – would halt my bloom,And Tomorrow – would forget. Lillith May ©2022

  • Break Champagne Against This Vessel
    I christen the start with resolutions,The Captain’s quite convincedTo strive toward – ‘fore this journey’s end –Worthy accomplishments – And here, behold – my losses and wins,A bounty found in effort;Gold in triumph, something learned in trying,All shining – hoarded Treasure Even shipwrecks inspire ballads that move,So sailor – I enquire again: In what waysContinue reading “Break Champagne Against This Vessel”
  • Pyromantic
    Does your soul burn –
  • Delinquent Delights
    Hey you! Bright young thing –
  • Exhausted
    Bedraggled, a crumb of a girl
  • There’s a storm in my chest –
    Oh be still! Be still – my heart!
  • Something for Emily Dickinson;
    It appears I’m light-weighted when it comes to the lyrics of you
  • Do you love my art as much as you do me?
    I want so badly – for my words to reach you –
  • My head as a barrel of bees;
    Forget hinges – I don’t even have a door to speak of!
  • Muse
    I want to lose myself with you –
  • Nights were made for adoring souls
    The weeping moon swells
  • My will is nothing to gravity
    The piercing sound of my body failing
  • Leaf
    Delicate linen upon a willowy stem
  • Bath
    Soft thunder fills the porcelain bed
  • Sunflower
    Yellow – beaming –
  • Potentially Me
    I’m drowning in potential –
  • Out Of Sight – Out Of My Mind
    What is it you do all day?
  • Wisdom
    Betwixt pale leaves, a young crone gazes –
