Poems
May 2018
honey
My mouth turns dry as I watch you move
I wonder what it will be like to kiss you
Your blossom-soft lips sweet on mine
Glistening with madness and uncertainty and lovesick desire
Everything is smooth and drip drip dripping
I lick the essence of you from my fingers and it tastes like honey
We are reckless and beautiful
We cut off our hair and call it a lesson in letting go
There is a cigarette slipped between your lips
And I take it out tenderly with rosebud fingertips
You look at me with tear-stained cheeks and my heart breaks a little
I can't help but think that it's too late and you've lost your way
This is why I hate the ocean
Things are always ***** and disappearing
Nothing is soft like you think it is
Nothing is safe like you wished it would be
