point a
My stomach is full
Full of things to say, still
Tongues are useless
Not worth the burn
A dance for two, fire and fire
Its sweet allure
Leaves a bitter taste
Crushing my fingers, one by one
Bound by dread
Why build a sandcastle
Why use bones

Love is many things but it is also an agreement where both parties state their needs, their expectations, their limits. Both must be honest with each other and themselves, and go in with eyes wide open. Things must be talked out loud, and not assumed. Hurts must not be allowed to fester and anything that bothers or upsets you must be brought out to the light even if it is difficult. Communication must always remain open and vibrant for change is inevitable and these conversations must be had constantly. If there comes a time you cannot come to an understanding then please part before bitterness and hurt take over and obliterate every good memory from both of your hearts. Love is an agreement, a pact, a promise, something that must be held in reverence and honored by those involved.

Take me home, will you,
for I've been out here lost,
more than I wanted,
longer than I anticipated,
and lonelier than I imagined.

take a breath
this is a safe place
to slow down
relax
take things easy
one by one
so you can order everything
arrange your thoughts chronologically
imagine a time
before the internet
when the default was to disconnect
and boredom wasn’t a bad word
when
you didn’t have to have an opinion
you didn’t have to be home by a time
you just had to know the position of the sun in the sky
let the street lights come on
in your mind
it’s time
to come home
arrange your thoughts
like your family at the dinner table
take a breath
and have a conversation

I’m nothing if not your problem
———
If you didn’t want to be worshipped
You shouldn’t have come when I prayed
You shouldn’t have appeared to me
In pink back light
Your face reflected like an omen
Like a sigh
Like a sign of better days to come
In a puddle of leaking dishwasher water
In the nightclub
If you didn’t want to see me on my knees
You should have chosen a form
Less appealing
To my every waking dream
Your hair shouldn’t curl my toes like that
Try to smile less like the sunlight on a spring morning
If it’s too much to bear
If I see too much in you
You probably should not have
Gone and existed like that
What a thing to do

TWILIGHT
Twilight casting its long shadows
Gangling twigs of dangling fingers
Craggy hairs scratching at windows
Scraggy spider weaving the lingers
Announcing the approach of darkness
The end of day parading its bleakness
Leggy tall stilts take a dusky walk
All are quiet, handcuffed in the gloom
Gawky branches in a windless balk
Twilight flickers to an impending doom

midwinter acacias drown inside
me you say please bury yourself
in the snow
as poets salivate after [your] beauty
on a leash with lines from gimmicky
postcolonial love poems
oblivious
to their firmaments
within:
delete my words all you [want] but
you won't be able to decimate that
stinging temptation
that makes you pull
the strings of your dreamhouse abyss:
you recoil because you crave control
absolute control
if someone comes
close
you retreat to your lavish hut: in your
abode aching to be held by someone
telling yourself:
we all hide behind screens and touch
ourselves when [we] push others away
lonely mirrors
after all
like stale gunpowder
passion is dour when you can't fathom
your inside: rattles like the last sip from
salt water yearning:
i finish pages
but no one
bothers to read them: least of all you
why do i recall your [gaze] at midnight
when the ceiling pastes
your voice onto
everything literally
everything

And...
I realized that he was not for me
And i let him go
I don't miss or want him anymore
And i don't have any more words for him
A cold change of heart
And become numb

whispering
The white butterflies, those
Heart-shaped sweets
And my daughter - the one my body
betrayed - her precious hands
The moment's creatures, all
Strands in my braid
I do remember dreams
My hair does sometimes
Cover my face, and yet
Space can only follow time
One way, not another
So who am I to
Keep looking behind

There are moments of intense vulnerability, moments when the missing you is so intense it takes my breath away, moments when only being wrapped in your arms will make it ok.

Missing you hits me at odd times,
when I least expect it to,
when my mind wanders away,
over the horizons in distance;
with no means of control,
I give in, to those feelings of emptiness,
and let myself transcend continents,
to be where you might be,
perhaps sooner rather than later.

softness incarnate
——
Your thighs are a deep sigh of relief
Your hips reverberate through me
Like an orchestra
In a canyon
Like honey slick marble
Like quivering cliches
Your body is a loving home
At long last a triumphant slow dance
In the warm ocean
You make every hair on my body arch toward you
Like a flower to the sunlight
On your eyelashes
Like a desperate prayer
You will never see your eyes like I do
And what a gift
Like a crystal stream
In some mossy nowhere
Like your belly a bouquet of fresh cream
The peaks of a gasp
Like you don’t even know
How perfect
Your hands are
Folding like silk napkins
Your neck makes my teeth sink
Into thick velvet book covers
Old ones made of wedding cake icing
When you are pillowed feathers
Gently proving on the windowsill
Dripping from the heavens
And I can’t believe you’re there
