You see him at a bar
And suddenly your hair
falls on your face.
You see him at a bar,
With another girl
And your heart starts to race.
You wonder how he replaced you
Like a red balloon
that escaped his fingers,
And floated over the buildings
And disappeared into the blue.

             *You wonder if he actually ever loved you.
I find this pretty odd
lol sorry
Let me love you
From afar
From way back here
In this dark
In this cold
I won't hold
On to you
I'll let you go
I'll stay right back here

I                                Up
  still
        have                  
                some
                        tricks        
                                        my
                                              sleeve
                                                         that
                                                                could
                                                                                     you
                                                                                            off
                                                                                                 your
                                                                                                         feet.

Sometimes
the places we didn't go,
are just as important
as the ones we chose.

Snow melting slowly,
Blossoms approaching new life,
Spring takes its first breath
Accidents,
Disasters,
Wars,
Death...

Why blame it all on God?

Your kiss
stirred
my dull
         roots,
brought a
   a sheen
all over my
  being;
see it clearly
in my eyes
that borrowed
two stars
from some
  love struck 
               galaxy
I'll be known
                widely
as your
"haloed lover"
hereafter.

      *
           *
your saliva
tasted like
fine wine,
fermented
moonbeams
added with
rainbow
just enough for fizz
'patented
just for one'
I heard the whisper
of your eyes.
I'll tightly wrap
my arms around you
to keep
the formula a secret,
strictly between us.

I am still
in intoxication
after all these
cycles of lives
when my pride becomes    unbearable
I coalesce into                       nothing.
I rush to You in                     love,
with courage to be                vulnerable.
asking for                               help,
so I can                                     live.
First line inspired by comment by r that pride was unbearable in response to first version of this poem.  Thanks r.  A whole new poem rose out of reworking the first line.
