Three Short Poems: Not Another Fat Poem, Unplugged, and Auria of Memory by Teresita Blanco

Not Another Fat Poem 

by Teresita Blanco

For how long,

I know not,

Did I hunger

For food?

For how many tears

I wished to eat?

Now my food

Has been denied,

Why?

Is it to satisfy

Your lustful pride?

No, to help me?

Bah! I need no help.

So why annoy me!

I haven’t a moment of peace.

Let me fatten the sacrifice, in peace.

Unplugged

by Teresita Blanco

For seven years

I mourned your loss,

Like a dog,

They ended your misery.

That ill fated day

Was the start of my agony.

For how long must I live

With that memory?

Auria of Memory

by Teresita Blanco

Take a clear prism,

Make light its prison.

Give me the primary hues.

Let’s taint the sky

With a velvet plume.

So deep and blue,

Paint these icy tears,

That descend your

Ashen face.

Why do you fear

The green moon?

She wants you

But she won’t have you.

Eternity beckons,

Oblivion is my Nemesis.
