Ashleigh Wiggins Poems

Do you taste the scent of gasoline
My darling?
Can you feel the colors against your mind?
Hear the vibrant green of birdsong,
...

Is it my soul that shines too brightly?
Or my mind, that refuses to succumb to mortality?
Am I the Icarus, who may never behold the sun?
...

Oh Indy,
Did you expect me to falter,
Beg for you to share your wisdom?
Perhaps,
...

Glowing globes of golden light,
Shimmering in rows of filed actions.
Slowly, they age,
Until dim orbs replace,
...

Blindly I stay, wrapped in silk;
Restrained by ties of honeyed words,
Tightened by claws of silver birds.
...

Blocking bad thoughts with bubbles;
I keep sipping on my flute,
Drowning in my future.
...

Embroider your ambitions upon my skin;
Bind your whims against, the stem of my brain,
Stitch your dreams within my goals.
And affix your life atop my own.
...

The snuffing of candles, quietus of flame.
Imperceptible smoke, forgotten by fume.
Desolate, discouraged discompose.
Aided along by ardent embrace,
...
