Picnics,
Historical mountains,
Sunsets by the sea.
Hours away from the city.

The sheets.
Oh the sheets.
How tightly I clasp
on to them.

Conversations 'til the
break of day.
Our bodies are giving up
but still so much to say.

Nothing is scarier
than realizing you're
starting to like someone
so much.

Time has its own way
of telling you...
You're about to lose
yourself again

I vowed, this time,
it's passion or nothing.
Something deeper than skin.
Who knew it will have me quaking.

Call me paranoid
but tell me.
This can't be that perfect...

What's the story?

Show me what's behind
all these rainbows and
butterflies...

I'm ready

No assurance
No clear vision
For 15 hours, we
were far from fixture.

Donned in a coat
smart shoes and black,
We stood out in a sea of
superheroes and Jacks.

Pingpong *****
Baguettes.
Fake stories to people we just met.
Each time we caught
each other's gaze,
we always fell
into a hysterical maze.

Can you feel that?
It's called connection.
I do believe in sparks
and all that notion.

Black skies
dry eyes
coffee and you,
we continued to talk
and laugh
until the morning dew.

15 hours
but only stopped for 2.

The world was spinning
but your lips kept
me grounded.
Living in the moment,
I didn't worry where it
was headed.

Exceeded my expectations,
you proved yourself to be different.
Curbed what was naturally felt and needed.

So this is how it feels
to be alive again.
To genuinely feel something
deeper than skin.

Penetrated intellectually.
Tickled emotionally.
For 15 hours,
I was held the tightest
Conversed the deepest

Now you have my attention.

'Til we bridge the gap again!
Remember Koala,
my darling dearest.
Proabably the first and last time I'm gonna try to rhyme.
("No rhyming poems in Henry Chinaski's house")
Probably the most personal / the most genuine / the most non-fictional (and the cheesiest) work I've written.

You claim to be a journalist.
But you've got apostrophes
where it's not needed.

Like your opinion.

You might be driving a McLaren,
But if you're fully bearded
And your name is Mohammed,
Darling it ain't gon' happen
Every time flashy cars slow down to talk to you when you're innocently walking down the road. Typical Dubai. HA! HA!

"Those lips"
He said
"You must be proud of them"

Sat in silence
Lost in his gaze
I ashed my cigarette
and moved closer
"They always get me in trouble"
