Suspension poem by Caroline Tiss

 Suspension 

It never was the sort of thing that caused the bough to break,

As I bleed she watches me with her pure heart,

Here I am, the weighted end of the scale of justice,

Staring at my virtuous sun,

Her gaze pities me,

What good is pity if my river is red with blood from my heart,

Sympathy will not save you,

So it is not a virtue,

Do not patronize me with your ivory,

I do not regret a thing.

The Sun Journal Entry - Caroline Tiss 7/30/2022

The Sun - Caroline Tiss   A child, a lover, a girl. Seventeen yet so surreal. I want to rise with this day dawning. The morning arises with the cracking whip of dawn, like lightning, like the fading of summer into an autumn chill, announcing the presence of her magnificence, Look upon the sun, Ask him what's his name? How long has it been since he has faced the terror of his past. Woman at his side, walking on glass. Years pass, she's torn between her lover and all she wants and more. Can we simply stop? Let us find what makes us satisfied. We are only as balanced as we become, and even then anything can change. So Swiftly, you would hear everything Cry and Bleed. So please, Look at yourself and all of the mess that we've become. You are not lost. But all is at stake. So love it or leave it, Drink it or beat it, Hate me or call me a Heathen. I do not give a damn. But look at what you have created. Please don't deny it. Just observe, think please. Don't listen to any...

Deceit poem by Caroline Tiss

  Deceit  To claim that you "cannot deny" is false. People can deny anything they want, and they continue to. You could deny yourself into an absolute and utter lie, You deny yourself into deceit and I will not be there to catch you if you fall, A wolf in sheep's clothing is much worse than no wolf at all. 

She Calls by Caroline Tiss

 She Calls  by Caroline Tiss "You cannot see me" she calls to the wind.  "You do not hear me." she mutters.  She does not wish to be seen and judged upon like an auctioned piece of furniture.  This is because she is her own mother, father, and son.  She protects herself as though she were a family in a war zone.  Who hear her is up to the lots cast and the people in her path, like how the stars align for those who whisper to love like a child gilded with pearls and emeralds green.  Where is your courage man of valor, it is draped in ivory linen with the eye of your mother.
