Two Poems
By: Jasmine Griffin

Enchantment

You amaze me,
Bewitch,
Bedazzle,
And enthrall me.

You fairytale thing,
You imaginary wonder,
You skilled sorcerer,
You bejeweled king.

You shine like the moon,
Dance like the twilight,
Sing like the wind,
Roar like the ocean.

You mythical monster,
You legend amongst truth,
You sword baring Prince Charming,
You great white knight.

My alluring beast,
Captivate,
Mesmerize,
And charm me.

You make believe creature,
You whimsical rapture,
You mystical thrill,
You enchant me.

 

Silence

The silence screams,
Howls like a banshee,
An omen,
So loud it blocks the noise,
The noise that is my thoughts,
Swarming.

That’s how it’s been.
Without you.
No thoughts,
No calm,
Just raging quiet.

 

You knew,
I think,
I know you knew,
Or maybe you hoped,
That the silence would kill me.
