i pick an orange for my love
rough exterior hiding softer insides
the gentle curve, the sweet scent, the bright color
i peel an orange for my love
the rind falls to the floor like––
i hold it in my hands like i hold her heart
i eat an orange for my love
each segment curved like her sunshine smile
the juice dripping like––
my love is like an orange blossom
she blooms only for me

in:
my hand in yours
sweet nothings in my ear
kiss me softly
im falling

out:
moody
tearstained

in:
flowers on the table
watching the sunset
never again

out:
broken glass
always my fault
not again

in:
please be gentle
small smile

out:
eggshell carpet
wine stained skin
…
im falling
