Lingering Shadow (poem #316)

October 1, 2018April 2, 2022 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Boxed up, put away

out of your line of vision

easily forgetting what was

hidden from view and why,

a lingering shadow waits for

the moment to come alive.

Pulsating, vivid lines licked up lips

like hearts beating to implosion,

watched you in the gloom, drinking

and dancing your life away.

Found you among the pines

looking for forgiveness, a betrayed

heart, a plagued conscious that

can never be cleansed.

Eyes lifted upward

gazing heavenly thoughts into

desires to be enlightened, a load

lifted off shoulders to live fully

on the earth.

Intoxicate Me [poem #312]

September 27, 2018April 24, 2022 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
alcoholic drinks and cigarettes on a wooden table

Drifting away into the darkness of the night,

words repeated over and over, can’t get out

of this head filled with mixed liquors and smoke

lost in the darkness, intoxicate me.
