If you’re ever interested
In hearing the sound
Of a broken heart
Just spend one moment
Around me without her

Seminal Tears
It’s been 7 years and 4 days since my eyes last watered my cheeks
There’s a very simple reason why I’m suddenly bringing this up
Warm Chills (Song Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
I get so cold
When you don’t leave on the light, babe
I get so cold
When you do not say good night, babe
You’re only right
Cause you can’t admit you’re wrong, babe
We only fight
Cause of sexual frustration
[Pre-Chorus]
Warm me up, warm me up
Warm me up right now
I’ll warm you up, I’ll warm you up
I’ll warm you up somehow
[Chorus]
Don’t need these cold chills
Every day that you are away
Don’t need these cold chills
But I felt them hard yesterday
I want some warm chills
Heat me, pour me in your rain
I want some warm chills
Lay me down and walk over me, babe
I need those warm chills
Right now and every single day
I need those warms chills
You’re the only one who gives them, babe
[Verse 2]
I get so cold
When you do not show your face, babe
I get so cold
When you tell me that you’re sleeping
I get so cold, I get so cold
When I’m alone, when I’m alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Warm me up, warm me up
Warm me up right now
I’ll warm you up, I’ll warm you up
I’ll warm you up somehow
[Chorus]
Don’t need these cold chills
Every day that you are away
Don’t need these cold chills
But I felt them hard yesterday
I want some warm chills
Heat me, pour me in your rain
I want some warm chills
Lay me down and walk over me, babe
I need those warm chills
Right now and every single day
I need those warms chills
You’re the only one who gives them, babe
[Ad Lib]
You’re the only one who gives them, babe
The only one who gives that way
The only one …
The only one that makes me stay
A Reflection On Apologies
Why do you run before
my apologies have a chance
to bloom?
Is my sorry
not the color of a rose?
Does it not smell of
regret, sorrow, remorse?
Would a different word,
a softer word,
thaw the forgiveness in your eyes?
Je t’aime
Te amo
Ich liebe dich
Я люблю тебя
میں تم سے پیار کرتا ہوں
Imagine
Can you imagine
holding the world
in your hands?
Can you really?
Then imagine it now
the world in the palm of your hands
spinning on its axis.
I want you to imagine it.
Close your eyes.
Think on it.
Block out everything else.
Focus. Focus. Focus.
Don’t read on until
You found it—feel it.
Now that you’re there:
You know how
I feel every time
I hold her.
Bridges (A Semi-Visual Poem)
I would cross
Each one of these
Without fear
To reach you:
Tell me you’d
Do the same
Even if you were
Pregnant with fear.
The Universe Wants An Us
It’s not you or me, really
It’s the stars, the poles
of magnets, the hands
of the gods, the three Sisters of Fate
Well, sometimes it’s only you
And, sometimes it’s only me
But also, the tides of love, the gravitational
pull of celestial spheres, chemistry and chemicals,
hormones and synapses, butterflies and that winged boy with arrows,
pen and paper, tea leaves and tarot cards, and
social influencers, bloggers, rebels, dreamers, lovers
See, really, it’s not up to you or me
Because if the universe wants an us
Who are we to go against the universe?
2 To 1
If I cut
The head and feet
From h i m
All that remains: I
Our Commandment
Written on two hearts
We spoke; God watched
“Love our love.”
Marry Me? (Song Lyrics)
[Chorus]
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Please, don’t marry him!
[Verse 1]
I want to please you in every way
I want to have you for every day
There’s just so much I wanna say
But you keep looking the other way
I’ve been looking for all my life
And I still don’t have Mrs. Right
Yet here you are in front of me
And now you’re staring right back at me
[Pre-Chorus]
If I got down on my knees
If I huffed and puffed and screamed
Would you change your mind?
Would you marry … will you marry me?
Gonna get down on my knees
Huff and puff and scream
Please, change your mind
Will you marry … will you marry me?
[Chorus]
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Please, don’t marry him, no!
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Please, don’t marry him!
[Verse 2]
I can love you in un-forbidden ways
Just like you thought of it yesterday
There’s not too much more I can say
If you’re still planning another way
I’ve asked others to be my wife
But never asked one to be my life
What a difference a letter makes
I’ve fully realized my mistake
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now I’ve been down on my knees
I have huffed and puffed and screamed
Please, change your mind
Marry me … just marry me!
Don’t keep me on my knees
With no voice left to scream
Just marry me
Tell the world that you’ll marry me!
[Bridge]
I’ve got no shame when it comes this
You’re like my country
So I pledge my allegiance to you
To you, to you—only to you
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I’ve stayed down on my knees
A million times I’ve screamed:
Marry me
Please, don’t marry him
[Chorus]
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Please, don’t marry him, no!
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
Boohoo, marry me!
(Or) Just don’t marry him!
