Poems by N J Thornton

Sort by : 
  • Silence envelops the moths inside,
    flying into my gut wall...

  • How I wish my purse heavy with paper
    rather than heavy with copper...

  • Remember us; forget- me- not,
    my lips now, liked severed petals...

  • Portrayals of an inspired mind.
    Made not by one anima...

  • In a visionary second,
    bloody eyes at pin- point pose...

  • Those who argue with sheep
    are shammyclad in basic black...

  • A tipped bottle on the windowsill
    next to the wine cascade...

  • A pearl sneers
    over vanilla stones...

  • Ashen shoes with
    buttercup laces; untied...

  • Trees of Oak and Chestnut,
    at opposing sides of my kitchen...

  • Eyelashes caress my cheek,
    -- your lips, do the same, on mine...

  • My breast pounds in woe
    and my molars butcher the cherry flesh...
