you said you loved me,
a single lilac among others.
prettier, you said.
sweeter, softer.
you loved my delicacy,
sense of solitude,
my endearing growth.
however,
sprouts whither,
and I find
myself asking
why must you
always turn back
to smell
the roses.

Cheesy, Wonderful Love.

for your thoughts
for your wishes
for our distance
for your kisses
for clichés
for the comfort
for 365 days
for many more
for silly honesty
for seasons slipping by
a dozen, bright red roses
for a love that keeps us
high

With my father
I would watch dawn

Plastic Beauty

B cup
C cup
but D cup, the better.

A nip,
a tuck—
reverse the clock.

For beauty’s the past,
and beauty’s the young.

Thus,
reupholster the fruit of the womb
and iron the sags low.
Recapture the past glow,
for after all,
the future is wherever you don’t exist yet.

Floatation Device

In the event of a water landing
during the course of your life
your light-heartedness may be used as a floatation device.

The trick is to try to remain light-hearted.. indeed it is hard to do.

The Distance

Silver Dreams

The Distance

Snow trickles down all around me.
Slowly, riding down my skin,
after it lands.
I raise my hand
to catch a snow flake.
Knowing how fragile it is,
I look from a distance.
It's all around me like you are.
But, yet, I feel the need
to keep a distance
just to keep you
but yet just touching you
is hurting you.
I want to touch you
to see you
the closer I bring you to me
the more we both hurt
trying to protect this thing that we have
that we hold sacredly to ourselves.

— The End —
