Help the Saved

I wish I should be dead as I awake,
For my or your sake.
Just have me supper fed,
And that I arise dead.
In my chest a stake or blade
I should surely fade.
Tears mean nothing much
Yet they come as though to rush.

the hush of midnight
fearsome shadows uncoil from high ceilings
whispering secrets through trembling flames
that dance on the walls,
and this interrupted silence
the occasional thunders
the slivers of starlight
awaiting the dawn
beyond this abyss

©️ for much deliberation, May 2026

Angel eyes

Where are the eyes that looked so fine.
And in the dark morn shine
Those that look upon all with glee
And in the face of anger do not flee.

The face that looks upon me
As though gold I should be.
Upon me fair your gaze.
But to seduce you, such a maze.

Running from the sea

I want to cry an ocean.
And be a martyr of a war I had never faced.
I wanna drink a satisfying potion.
That took me afar that I chased.

Waterfall of tears
Spouts a rushing pool,
Which collects and entraps my fears.
Imperfections banished.... I am nought a fool.

Maybe I just need to cry.
Maybe I need a hug
I do sigh.
But only grunt and shrug.

Dirt hits the coffin
Obliterating flowers
That bloomed yesterday

I have written 20 #poems in total on my Wattpad!

I'm gonna start a new book and and add new ones to that.

Link is here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/359024579-tessiah-elise%27s-collection-of-miscellaneous-poem

Here is one:

Grain of sand,
In my hand,
Where'd you come?
You're no bigger than a crumb.
Were you of creature or land?

I carried you from days forgot,
I perhaps spent with friends that have rot.
From beach, brought by tide,
You've been for quite a ride,
Now off you trot.
