You and me
Should always
Be written correctly: youandme
We’re just one word
No space between
You and me
Should always
Be written correctly: youandme
We’re just one word
No space between
I would have
Like Medea
Cut my brother into pieces and
Scattered his remains
I would have
Like Cronus
Eaten my own
Children
I would have
Like Icarus
Flown toward the sun
With waxed wings
I would have
Like Sisyphus
Pushed the boulder
Up the hill forever
I would have
Like Prometheus
Stolen the gods’
Fire
I would have
Like Ajax
Fallen upon
My own sword
I would have
If only you had
Crossed a puddle
For me.
I find nirvana
Looking into your eyes
Over easy
Voluminous skies
Each time
Revisiting
A place
Beyond here, beyond me
In your gaze
You dismantle time
Always a new day begins; always I’m home
I always thought
I needed to see
The Eiffel Tower and
The Great Wall of China and
The pyramids in Egypt and
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Or at least the pearly gates of Heaven
But that was before
I uncovered your existence
All Seven Wonders of the World
In one five-foot blessing
And now I’m done
I have no urge to travel
Any measurable distance from you
I think
I’m choking
On holy water;
Floundering in
The Fountain of Youth;
Struggling with
This noose
Around my heart;
Found an empty
Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow …
Maybe love
Is a five letter word:
Death
I hold you too close
In my heart
Pressed firm
Against the walls
But these chambers weren’t
Meant to hold this much love
To pump this much you
I’m afraid I’ll turn
Blue if you ever go
Afraid I no longer know
How to take a breath on my own
In hopes to forget
What might come
I took a shot of novocaine
To numb the future pain
But I still feel you too much
In my heart
Pressed firm
Against the walls
I’m afraid I no longer know
How to take a breath on my own
Afraid I’ll turn
Blue if you ever go
You remind me of nowhere that exists
A masterpiece no painter could ever paint
An opus no composer could ever create
A dream that could never be dreamt
A planet in a galaxy far, far away
Never to be discovered by a mortal
Bring your heart and
soul. Leave your clothes
at the door. We’re in position
to make Kama blush at our Love Sutra.
My only job
Should be
Loving you
I’m in love
I’m in love
With this girl
I cannot love
She’s the one
She’s the one
She’s my one
And only sun
When she comes
When she comes
It’s like re-falling in love
I’m so done
I’m so dumb
I can’t walk or stand or run
I’m in love
I’m in love
With this girl
I cannot love
She’s the sound
She’s the sound
If there’s none
She’s not around
I’m in love
I’m in love
With this girl
I cannot love
She’s the sound
She’s my sound
I swear she’s
The sound of love
I think she’s
The sound of love
I know she’s
The sound of love
