Paperweight Poetry

I wonder if our spirits are as wild as the wind Or if we are torn petals the earth cannot mend?  I hope that it is as untamed as the stars in the sky A dance in the breeze you cannot bottle or define.  -anna sluder

A hello to you origami moon  Punched out paper hole Milky white papyrus soul  And a goodbye to you too soon.  -anna sludsr

Dear Stranger,  I may not know who you are But I love you more than the night loves the stars I would swim through a black hole Just to find out if your heart is full Dear person I don't know If only you knew the way your smile glows If only you could see yourself from my eyes You wouldn't ever look in the mirror and wish it was a lie  Because god your soul is like gold Even you don't know what it holds  So keep your head up its not over and done Because baby you are outshining the sun.  -anna sluder

He turned to me and whispered "this sunset is tailor made for you "  and in that moment I knew  I could never love him as fiercely as I did then.  -anna sluder

I want to stay here With my head pressed warm  Up against your chest  Where I suddenly cannot fear For with your pulsing heartbeat Fluttering like wings in my ears  I know I am not alone More than a single light flickering to life in the street So I know I want to stay here In this night darkening to a velvet blue But what I don't know  Is do you want to stay here with me too?  -anna sluder

I am a ghost  Traveling between the walls of lives  I want to live and of lives I am scared to live And that's why I cannot surrender into death Or surrender into life Instead haunting souls, my museums of regrets Because the fact that you cannot hide Is that whether dead or alive We are all terrified.  -anna sluder
