My hands trace your skin,
miles last only seconds.
Bursting from each pore,
Intoxicating aromatics beckon.
A reckoning,
a realization.

Longing for completion,
I’m a traveler on the estuaries of your canvas
Each stroke an adhesion
With every breath,
a confession
Time ceases, you—
my obsession.

Our bodies sealed eternally,
An enthralling finale.
Inspired by a beautiful woman.

Did you sense my emergence, good beak,
A gloopy shell dragging egg slime and sand
to the waiting sea.
With clammy innards, I lumbered
under a morose sun while you
pecked my eyes to nourish
your blood disease.
Adieu, good beak, it was mine to
be momentary.

Instead of door slamming,
Listen to heavy metal music,
And engage in headbanging.

Instead of giving into violence,
Listen to the sounds of violins,
And practise non-violence.
My HP Poem #2041

Trapped in this
Continuum
The time it takes
To come undone
To disassemble
Incremental
Steps
To make it all connect
Trajectory
Made linear
More easily
To redirect
The wayward
Stream of conscious
Wanders
From
What it
So blithely squanders

While the withered page sets down its weary head,
and the children have all been tucked in bed,
The heart of the writer sings fair & true,
Its melody sweet & pure & new.

It's as if it started snowing rainbows
Down fifth avenue,
Or flooding yarn *****
with cats just out of view.

Zoom out of the scene with the kid at the zoo,
Who's seen a lion for the first time and a flamingo too,
To the lovers just a synapse away from saying
Those words people always imagine lovers saying...
But is that the beginning of the story, or the end?

Finding the beginning of the chapter is easy,
Who knows when they end?
Are we the authors?
The painters to fill in history with color?

Raise a glass to our hotel sushi picnic,
Ugly gingham curtains and squeaky old chairs,
To the look in your eye when I first held your stare.
I held my breath, you know.
Maybe you didn't.
You do now.

Even if it was snowing rainbows,
Even if it was raining from the sidewalk,
Even if it was blowing ***** of yarn down the road,
I couldn't take my eyes off of you.

Let's defy time
and space
and physics
and just be together.
It's been a long time since I've put something in writing here. It's about time I start back up. This is inspired by a new love in my life that is growing exponentially at a rate I could never anticipate and I'm so so grateful for them and all of the positive things they bring out in me.

Captivated by the spell I was under,
And you were that sorcerer with the evil laughter.
But believe me, it was never my intention,
To fall under this illusion.

My friends been telling me to quit,
But I can't cause your acts are way so sweet.
Like an addict who can't resist,
The drug that shortens her life to exist.

It's been two years since I knew you by name,
And since then, I can't get you out of my brain.
It started off with a tease,
But I don't want to end it like this.

I love it boy when you are clingy,
I hate it when you're busy.
And you literally love it when I'm mad,
Every time you've done something bad.

I hate it at times when you ignore me, like hey!
Was it too selfish of me to ask for just a day?
And I miss those butterflies inside my little tummy,
Every time you're around with me, my dummy.

I guess, I still got tons of words left to say,
And to thank you in every other way,
But I'm afraid you cannot,
Read this piece of nut.

Because you see, it's 2:59
But you're still not mine.
All those years I've wonder,
What am I even to you? Oh brother!

I know this poem is so lousy,
Written by a girl, whose thoughts are so messy.
It's obvious, I'm no Edgar Allan Poe,
To write you a nice poem with words found under a toe.

But give me some time and light,
To gather all the courage and might.
And someday when our future is bright,
I might give this poem to you as a sweet delight.
〰 circa 2017 〰

my first long *** poem. it's too chessy and cringe but i pulled an all nighter for this one and submitted it as school paper the very next day and got exempted for the finals lol
not my fave but it has its charms

and after years of no contact, this was supposed to be a gift for your birthday this year since things last time were a little serious and the future somehow seemed brighter or so we thought.
heck! we didn't even make it through last year's holiday season smh funny how we made plans to spend your vacation together. only to ghost each other and be back as strangers. without any words, you left me hanging again. it's too cruel.
and the history did repeat itself, right? it was all a vicious cycle. a never ending loop of hearbreaks. i told you so.

HBD!
may you find your happiness, your peace, your solace, your love.
may we never meet again 𔓘
