Oh melatonin
I cannot sleep without you
whisk me off to dream

The place where thoughts halt
my head has not stopped racing
for twenty-one years
and I doubt it ever will
A beautiful view
is best when it is shared with
a beautiful you
All the elements
mastered by the greats of art:
lines, color, space, shape

Neither Van Gogh nor
Da Vinci could ever forge
art in the form of

You
A tree sways at the affection of the wind.

Kissed by the ever-changing breeze, it submits itself entirely; bending to the winds every whim hopelessly hoping that that gust will blow its way once more, once more, once more.

Alas, the tree stands still. The wind keeps moving.
I am the tree. you are the breeze.

Please, blow my way.
Five centimeters
per second is the size my
heart grew together

with you. Five centi-
meters per second is the
speed of our passion.
Counting down the days
until I see her again,
however many.

All I want is to
see her in the light of day,
bask under her sun.
I could read all the
stories in all the books but
all I need is yours
If I could live life
over again, I would be
by your side each time
From the ends of the
Earth, to the sea's bottomless
depths, I'd search for you
Why can't you see
it's not your fault?
I'd drink the sea
if you were salt
Inside my head there
are worlds colliding, new worlds
taking shape. I  just

wish I could let them
out and show this world what I
am capable of.
To live a life with-
out reflection is to ne-
ver see your true self
The mathematics be-
tween you and I will never
be divisible
my math minor is showing
When you're in the kitchen
drinking tea
Burn your tongue
and think of me
The gravity of your eyes
when you look at me
will never cease
to keep my heart
in your orbit
First non-haiku.
