Cleaning out the memories
Mopping every tear
Vacuuming up the doubts
Wiping away the unsaid
Erasing phone records
With a little brush and
A hint of bleach.
Throwing away my anger
And a night of heat and sweat.
Stepping out the door
Putting the key in the hole
Jingling the ****
Turning around  
And walking away.

I always wondered
who taught you how to love
was it the fierce full moon
while it lighted you through a blackout night?
or the night owl
who sweetly sang you lullabies?


it wasn't until I had you
At the darkest hour of the night
Howling under the moon
And saw your hazel eyes
So vulnerable, yet fearless
That I knew
it was the wild wolves
who gently taught you how to love

Here’s another cigarette
I light in your name.

“What’s his name?”
I hear them say

I don’t even know,
But I know how you taste.

You taste like summer
With a hint of sweet red grapes.

Never fall in love with a poet.
They will break you apart
like stanzas.
You are a metaphor,
a simile, an oxy-
*****.
Never fall in love with a poet.
They will tear you apart
like a rough draft,
burn you, and then
call it art.

I write to you
in the darkest spot
of the room that holds me
far away from you.

I write to you
despite the heavy chains
that tie my thirsty hands
and heart and veins.

I write to you,
my long lost love,
with the candlelight
from a thousand miles away.

And with every word I write,
and through tears and cries,

I wish
          I hope
                     I pray.

If I could call you
anything other than your name,
sweeter than honey and blame,
I'd call you safety.

If I could taste you,
even while you're away,
you'd taste like home
on rainy days.

Come here,
get closer.

Now touch me,
now feel me.

Am I too tight?
Am I too strong?
Am I too wet?
Am I too dry?
Am I too cold?
Am I too hot?



Tell me, love, am I too much?
