drunk on you

your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you
if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

things she doesn’t ask...

are they things,
she doesn’t know to ask,
or
are they things
to which,
she does not want to know
the answers.

my not knowing the answer to this puzzle,
drives me to distraction, her Mona Lisa smile,
accompanied by her noncommittal “whatever,”
hiding the answer, nearly leads me over a blurting edge,
but for my inevitable retreat, for the true question,
has a  truer answer, that comes as well, 
in question form.  

Why do I,


or do I,

want to know?

Spring Mnemosyne
She plucked hibiscus flower
And put it on her ear,
She laugh boisterously and
Even dance with the raindrops.

But dear, have you seen the sadness tucked in her eyes?

𝒄𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔.

In the deep of night,
You'll see the brightest star
—her teary eyes,
Wounded by her subtle battle.

I took a pen and paper
to write my feelings
                                     but
  ended up wetting the paper
   and breaking the pen

         I became consumed by
           the hatred I felt.
            
                Waves of rage came
      crashing against my heart.


All I could do was bleed
through my eyes as
I realized

                    It was all a lie.

Another guy

Your cold fingers are
Gripping my thigh
I can’t lie
I’m picturing
You
As another guy
As our fingers intertwine
He’s stuck In my mind
Manifesting what is left
Maybe I’m obsessed .

Once when I was drunk
I held my hand to a flame
And it didn’t hurt

Meeting you was an accident,
And
You are the scar
I never want to heal from.

And then I met you…
A happiness like I have never known…
My knees went weak when we first touched…
My heart shouted out when I held your hand…
The smile in your eyes brought warmth into my heart…
I am complete now…
Since I met you…
