Seminal Tears

Jul30

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

Others

Jul17

I hope they come in reckless swarms
Blow in like the worst storms ever seen
Breaking windows and tearing off doors
Flooding my inbox with inappropriate messages
Even rushing toward me with lusty hands
Wearing mouthwatering lingerie
Or nothing but flirty smiles
And in numbers too large to count
In fact, I hope they come
Nonstop, every day
Just so I can show you how
I’d turn them all away in favor of you

Tuned Out

Jul15

Ever since those eight letters
left your mouth … I haven’t heard
a single word anyone else has said.

Compared to your “I love you”
everything else sounds like
blahs and babble.

Under Different Skies

Jul13

Your goodbye
Is the clouds moving in
The sun eclipsed
The stars never out
The moon packed up
When you leave it mysteriously feels
Like we’re living under different skies

Done Traveling

Jul9

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

Love Is A Five Letter Word

Jul8

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

Numb

Jul6

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

I Quit

Jun29

My only job
Should be
Loving you

If You Ever Read This

Jun28

WILL

YOU

MARRY ME?
