If there comes a time
that you might lose me
Find me in my poetry

Let's swim about, Peter
Mimic my sound

Speak my language
You precious bottle-nose

The trouble you have
With the letter M
Sure makes funny bubbles
Beneath the surface

What then should we talk of
This morning?
Miss Kelly, perhaps

Every room
Is an island, my child

Never isolate your love

Let it run to the sea
It's where I will always be
Thomas W. Case's Historical Figure Poetry Challenge, Margaret Howe Lovatt. In the 1960s, she took part in a NASA-funded research project in which she attempted to teach a dolphin named Peter to understand and mimic human speech. This while living in a half-submerged dwelling to have continuous contact with him.

tranquil
they buried a poet
sprinkled his words over coffin
tossed a book into dirt alongside
and waited few decades
to have a leaf sprout
for winds to carry his lines
far
to one with open ears
another circle in a world of squares
have phrases strain down the cheeks
into ink smeared on paper


buried in a trashcan
in a diary
in a library
in dirt
everywhere really...
circles
Silence…
often the loudest voice of all

Maybe Dracula

was a phlebotomist.

In which case,

he was only doing his job,

and pretty well, at that!

untold riches
sold by the pound

you tucked them within
your shirt sleeve
& I never made
a sound

it's just too cold for a
heart so bold
& all these missed
advances
make me feel all the
more this old


wait


wait for me
by the crossroads
wearing only your bare
brazen skin

& I'll help you to
remember
all the hell that we

lived in.

If eyes are the window to the soul
It's no wonder why mine are blue

It's slowly driving me mad
Listening to the playlists you made
Of other people singing
What you never had the courage to say

On my windowsill,
of that indigo night
you took me,
and I haven't
been the same since.

Something about you
makes me want to
be a better man.
I've grown wings,
so I take to the sky.

Dear Valentines,
Oh you're so far away
In a country, I would love to be at and stay
Our stars aligned
Yet our paths never crossed
Our paths crossed as we were angels, innocent souls
Giving out cards and candies that says "Be Mine"
But are you?
Your aura gives me joy and comfort
But it makes me hesitate breaking our flow of the spell
Your words make me smile
My face stretches without me realizing
My smile hugs my face
and my cheeks are sore

Dear Valentine,
We connect so well
Yet complete opposites
Distance has stopped us to go where we would go
But, you have your own valentine
And all I can do is listen to your happiness

Dear Valentine,
You almost got me there
But I need to share
my lack of interest in pain
And to keep me sane
I look past
and exchange words with no emotions
to protect me and only me
If you could see
the care I give to you
and joy you bring to me
I would fly to you with no hesitation
But its best I stay
stationed
Because at this time
It's valentines
