Your love warms me
like a Christmas sweater
Quilted, textured, enveloping
Every inch of my chest
You feel vintage, something distant yet familiar
Your arms heat me up
like spearmint tea
Steamy and tight
Around the lump in my throat
I have cried before you
The cold has overtaken me before
But your warmth reminds me
That winter is not forever
Your power to change my Weather
Reassures my shivering bones
That perception is power
And love can last.

next in line I guess
I know I tried my best
But the radio silence
Rose above the rest

Men like to lay their heads on my thighs and pray
They like to hear the rhythm of my heart throughout the day
My body feels like a cloud, pulling them away
From reality, they stare at me, as if I am a piece
Of art in a museum, but it's one they cannot lease
It is owned by the gallery and sometimes you can ask
If you can borrow all of it to complete your little task
And sometimes, if you're lucky, you will get to touch
All of the marble curves it has, it's thighs, it's lips, and such

I still keep your voicemails
To travel back in time.
You used to speak to me
With kindness in your words
And hope on your breath
And resistance in your goodbyes.
What I would give
To listen to your words
Intertwine with laughter
And echo down my spine.

If they leave
Silently
They leave
Without you in mind.
If they leave
Loudly
They leave
And continue to whine.
If they leave
Resentfully
They leave
Feeling outshined.
If you leave
Peacefully
You leave
Hurt behind.

Rain reminds me of you because it is reminiscent of the receptive and raw eros that engrossed my brain;
every interaction provided a drop of ransom to my heart,
which you held priso(ner-vous) hands and pituitary glands slam into the back of cabs
with such frazzled force that
they will brand their passion into passengers
who will jam their own uncontrollable acid into the same canvassed seat,
and they will rub it off on everyone they meet,
and rain will continue to fall
and I will continue to call
and every drop reminds me of you,
what you've done and what you've put me through

I just got exciting news!
.
And all I wanted to do was tell you
I wanted to burst out and yell, to
Laugh and then quiet down
Let you know about my breakthrough
Yet I know you don't reach for me anymore ..like you do the stars
When I'm not within arms reach
It's almost if I'm on mars
And you're on earth, looking up
With a telescope, magnified
Looking out in awe for a second
Then throwing me aside

Winter spring summer and
fallbackwards in time
I go
A pattern of leave(s)
Falling away
As if summer never touched them
And spring didn't water their roots.
Winter was just a phase
You knew that those rainy May days
Were my version of love.
It is never the right time for me
So I will always see fall
At the end of it all
I go through withdrawal
And still in the stall
As the archer-man calls
With an arrow and bow
Flaming, he throws.
Fire created
Spring desecrated
Summer repudiated
Winter reinstated
Fall and backwards, amalgamated.

Valencia Oranges
A yellow coated dream
Mustard-colored-tiles-are-much-colder-than-they-seem
Swimming in a sweatshirt
Watery-eyed and rosy cheeked
Music playing faintly
Curiosity is peaked
I imagine waking up
To humidity and cream
In my coffee, jingle my loft key
As I walk my way upstream
Sunglasses tint
All the oranges red
Valencia enters my veins
Rouged and widespread

Mercurial in my moods,
I switch up, off and on
Mercury rules me
Disputations nailed upon
My churches doors
Gemini explores
Sagittarius saged
and Cancer galore
You cannot buy indulgences
And use them on me
The only swaying I do
Is when the wind blows the trees
On a cool summer evening
When the Moon is nigh
And Orion looks down
From his hunt in the sky
