Leather Walls
ᗺᗷ Mar 2016
Heartbeat muffled by walls of leather
And combination straps of a suitcase
You let me use for a one-way trip.
“Give me a call when you’ve landed,” you said.

I never called you back.
I never really landed.

I can’t remember your face anymore
Or the combination to my baggage
But if I ever do,
Do you think I’d still find something inside?

Sloss
ᗺᗷ Mar 2016
You loathe your last name like a throat full of pain.
When I speak out the letters, a cringe you constrain,
And tighten the wrinkles on top of your brain,
But apologizes naught, from my throat they will stay.
The beauty you hold and forever remain,
Is given back ten-fold and never contained.
The sound of your brand you needn't abstain.
It does not define you, your beauty remains.
Like Helen of Troy or Aphrodite aflame,
Off the tip of my tongue you are one and the same.
Have faith in my soul and the words I proclaim,
Your name on my heart is forever engraved.
