LL - Hello Poetry

LL Mar 26

if I have to kneel before your body
to get what I want — and
hear songs of quick shallow breaths —
soft praises — from your mouth agape
— no wonder they call it

a TEMPLE

Stopped | Haiku

know that if I leave
I didn't stop choosing you —
I stopped choosing me

A lone | Haiku

always a lone chair
at every table — am I
meant to be alone?

Stuck | Tanka

right at that moment
when the sun disappeared, I
should've broke orbit
instead I stayed in place — stuck
exactly where you left me

Got off | Haiku

this feels like a long
ride where everyone got off —
and then it's just me

— | Haiku

for eight hours a day
I die at my office desk —
and then I drive home

Raging | Haiku

a raging river
of thoughts, a stream of words — the
rest flows out as tears
