deeply

did i fall
maybe i
let go
maybe i
let you slip
away

leave me
to my own being

lovesick poems I swear.

songbird

I screamed my name to the wrong kinds
until
you rolled my echo in your palm.
Vocal chords bled but in you
they dare to open,
hum a tune.

Now they sing each morning.

Though I doubt myself, I am glad to be with you.

sit and stay awhile

There was a time
when time was not time—-
For me,
For you.
The water it collects and tarries
Carries itself.

you whisper
“stay”
my thoughts linger to go

gilded

dear i wonder is it you
that i love, treasure
is it the love you give me?

I am gilded. You deserve wonders beyond gold.

feeling porcelain blue

I often wonder
if I am but a teacup
to your boils.
Without me
Where would you set
your pinkie
Where would you pour
your cream
Where else to discuss
the “new mortality”
but about my heated air?
