blooming
two plants
completely separate origins
10 blossoms
capture the eastern warmth
one plant a directed gift
symbolic of death
the other a random discount store deal
they are nurtured
with my sorrow and love
and give back to me
life and time
stolen
I can feel each and every blade you inserted

sharp
honed
serrated
surgical precision
sloppy
desperate
careless
Easy to be certain about some things
So hard to come home on time
Keep your word
Leave your beloved beverage behind

*so easy to keep being you
I know
I know

                   occasionally

I need a reminder

           You too?
you say I saved you
brought you back to life
you, my awakening
I would like to appear flirtatious without meaning any disrespect....I am so very envious of your wife. Happy life.
The aroma of curry
The taste of Thai
those lingering feasts of shrimp pad as you tasted me with your eyes
Perhaps a clove
Black as night
******* you could always do it right
Any song with a driving beat
your rhythms never failed to turn up the heat
The hot hot sun
Splashing cool water following a dive in your lake
my nails on your  back leaving marks as I rake
Green eyes (like emeralds) that twinkle and shine
and a vigorous........laugh
after your breathless plea...be mine
Face time phone time
Endless texting away
keeping me posted every single day
The distinct  scent of pine
Wafting up from my gin
that so-very-determined set of your chin
Gum chewing-oh that can take me so far
Always a pack of spearmint in the car
never stopped you from tasting me so deep and so hard

Seems as though I stay on the yellow brick road
Aching for Oz
But I've lost my way, my map, my carpet that flies
Still taking my trips
Behind the lids of my eyes
Travel is limitless without the confines of reality
take a breath
and jump right in

over and over

            it never ends

give and give
then give some more
                                             nothing left
except the door
