If I was born 60 years before,
when people spoke to faces,
I would have looked in your eyes
and faced all of the scrutiny?
Is it true that doves only really cry
what does that leave for humanity,
when the tide always leaves the shore
upon blessing of your skin pores?

i have deleted your number from my phone
over a dozen times (only to add it again)
for the sake of knowing that you are still existing (without me)
i lie on my bed for hours (and hours awake)

feeling the burn of the sun on my closed eyes

and it is SO PEACEFUL like nothing can hurt me there
until all i can think about are your kisses
