Poems
May 2015
dear you, and your flowers
You are lightning bolt.
(electric shock to my skin)
You taste like
hot
floridian
summer
Sound like
thunder storm
falling
on dry asphalt
And I want to tell you
you felt like homecoming
(even though you were always leaving,
and i was never staying)
I saw the flowers in your mouth
and I wanted to taste them
wanted to take them for my own
but I wasn't ready
to be
selfish
with you
yet.
Perhaps we'll meet
again in a city
much larger
than ours
And I'll fall in love with your flowers
again
*(and perhaps this time,
I'll let them grow)
