My heart pounding in tantrum
Bursting off my chest
The moment that you kissed me
Jacked up my heart rate.

That fitbit’s good for nothing
That gag around my wrist
It has been rendered useless
The day after we kissed.

My senses went haywire
Emotions off the chart
The beauty of a loving
Cannot fit on a graph.

It couldn’t feel vibrations
Nor my churning inside
The chemistry between us
Is tough to quantify.

Don’t ever kiss me impromptu
I’ll get a heart attack
Because you drive me crazy
You stir me inside out.
The moment the person you hold so dear kisses you for the first time, your heart will beat so fast and so hard that it'll break your fitbit band

Pounding on the rib cage
Of this long lifeless love
No defibrillator
Can bring its spark back home

Dying by the minute
Point of no return
Long ago we killed it
By jealousy and scorn

Poisoned by corruption
Tortured by mistrust
Consented to death sentence
Inside our comfort zone

Trapped into this bedroom
The sheets turned icy cold
The levels of desire
Reminisce the North Pole

We lingered within four walls
Just not to be alone
Reminding us each hour
Where did it all go wrong?

The hostile winds are howling
This ship cannot be steered
Let’s sink it to the bottom
For once let’s be sincere

If we cut wide and open
The corpse of this dead love
We may not find a thing
That was worth fighting for

You’d like to do postmortem
Why don’t just let it go?
You might not like the causes
That killed this long dead love.

I want to:

Fall in love with you

Hold your hand

Kiss you

Put my arms around you

Run my fingers through your hair

Lean your head against my shoulder

Snuggle you on cold nights

Hold you close, hold you tight

Smell the scent of your body

Wake up next to you

And whisper in your ear: *
I love you
Oh, the beauty of new life and new love...and the innocence of a child-like love

We’re back together.
You left your other guy
The one you left me for
He didn’t measure up (you say)

You tried new things
Left you unfulfilled
Brings you back to me
Can it ever be? (the same)

I’m the rebound of
your rebound after me
Am I the least worse?
You can’t be on your own (you feign)

Am I even that special?
Do you want me after all,
or just any
that will take you?

Will you be the same, or worse?
Do you think I am the one?
Or  just going for a ride?
Yet another time.

Your hair is like rays of sun
Dazzling into my eyes.
Looking in your eyes is as though
Staring inside diamonds.

Your long thin fingers
Were sculpted after goddesses.
Beautiful you are,
Oh so Beautiful you are.

A kiss from your lips
Are the keys to the kingdom.
Your smile....
One way ticket to paradise.

I daydream of your voice
Whispering in my ear
Before we fall asleep
After making love...again

The thunderous rumbling of a busted exhaust pipe disturbs another Gamecube binge on a rainy autumn night.
Is she ever gonna get that fixed? Makes that Altima sound like a 1930’s car.
I  know too well by now the tapping of the steps coming up the stairs. Rushed and soft, just like her knocking on my door.
11:00 pm. “Just got off work” –says she. Like any other night in which she  came to only 'chat', we end up naked on the carpet, I’m on top of her, my hands laying siege on hers, holding tightly, thrusting wildly.
We wear each other out like teenagers in heat; I want another round.
Stamina depletion: complete.  
I ask her to stay the night. I wanna sleep by her side, her body next to mine. I wanna hear the little sounds of her breathing, feel that she is mine.  Like any other night in which she  came to only 'chat', she replies: "Someone is waiting for me”.

I need to take giant's steps in healing.
You've become a snake's bite on my arm, killing me as the venom burns me inside.
I'm going to cut the wound wide open, and **** the venom out.
It hurts to the bones, as I cut you out of my life.
But one day this wound will heal, and I'll be alright.
