 JUST A LOT OF WORDS IN MY HEAD ~~ new poetry by Rochelle Carr

“Just a lot of words in my head

Place them on the shelf, she said,

Then, I’ll go to bed.”

 

“Just a lot of letters in my head

I’d like to write them down in red, she said.

Just a lot of words in my head

Place them on the shelf,

Then, I’ll go to bed.”

 

“Just a lot of worries in my head

My eyes were streaming years of dread, she said.

Just a lot of letters in my head

I’d like to write them down in red.

Just a lot of words in my head

Place them on the shelf,

Then, I’ll go to bed.”

 

“Just a lot of love in my head,

That’s why I paint hearts, she said.

Just a lot of worries in my head,

My eyes were streaming years of dread.

Just a lot of letters in my head

I’d like to write them down in red.

Just a lot of words in my head

Place them on the shelf,

Then, I’ll go to bed.”

 

“Just a lot of children in my head,

Many a night they cuddled in my bed.

Just a lot of love in my head,

That’s why I paint hearts, she said.

Just a lot of worries in my head

My eyes were streaming years of dread.

Just a lot of letters in my head

I’d like to write them down in red.

Just a lot of words in my head

Place them on the shelf,

Then, I’ll go to bed.”

 

Just a lot of dreaming in my head,

I’d like to string them on golden thread

With lights and stars around my bed.

Just a lot of children in my head,

Many a night they cuddled in my bed.

Just a lot of love in my head,

That’s why I paint hearts, she said.

Just a lot of worries in my head

My eyes were streaming years of dread.

Just a lot of letters in my head

I’d like to write them down in red.

Just a lot of words in my head

Place them on the shelf,

Then, I’ll go to bed.”

 

“Just a lot of life in my head

Place it gently on the shelf, she said,

Then, I’ll go to bed.”
