"loverboy" poems
I had my first dream last night that you weren't in.
not even a minor character,
your ****** name wasn't even in the credits,
let alone plastered across the sky in flashing lights
like you want it to be.
my first reality that you didn't belong in,
and it was the most blissful peace that I can remember since we bathed in pools of cloud.
I heard the first song that didn't make me think of you yesterday.
the lyrics, for once, were just lyrics,
not an embodiment of you and the things you do.
guess what?
it was coldplay.
you always hated coldplay.
this morning, I basked in the sun and didn't picture you coated in gold light beside me.
I didn't look at the leaves adorning the trees and picture your face laughing beneath it.
I didn't trace the plate lines of my palm and imagine the earthquake we used to create when yours collided with mine.
I didn't eat new food that I wanted you to try and I didn't want to share the smallest details of my day with you.
you may have won this poem, loverboy,
but don't be too triumphant.
your victory won't last long.
it's the era of my new beginnings without you and I'm going to be just fine.

a loverboy that didn’t last
an agreement
maybe it wasn’t supposed to
i can add him to the list
i’ve got going in my head
‘ones who left’
never wrote it down because
i think it might change
a loverboy who held my head
the 30th time he found me
spinning in circles
chasing neon with whiskey
held it until the morning after
brought me water in a mug
‘you’re a cool girl, can i see you tonight’
and then never called
i can write about him
until i find someone new
loverboy who i wasn’t ready to lose
just yet
he asked ‘yet’?
and i corrected
‘ever’
loverboy who left me little crumbs
to eat
after he took me home for dinner
he says he’s ‘not in the right place
for loving a girl like you’
and i roll my eyes, toss my socks into the corner
‘yet?’ i ask
‘ever’

Sickening,
He found it sickening,
How everyone around him seemed to be in love.
Someone,
They all had someone.
They all had the thing he was dreaming of.
Loverboy was surrounded by love,
He found it excruciating.
Loverboy wished for an angel to come down from above,
To end his misery.
How Loverboy loved,
To hear about everyone’s,
Relationships while he was alone.
Loverboy all on his own.
He went through the motions,
Dancing solo.
Solitude had left him destitute,
Crawling to a new low.
Loverboy watched as,
Lovers and friends,
Intertwined hands.
He envied,
His friend,
And hoped her relationship,
Wouldn’t meet a bitter end.
Circling,
Circling thoughts.
Was Loverboy good enough?
Was it something he lacked?
Loverboy pondered as he turned his back.
He closed himself off from the world,
Too afraid to watch his heart unfurl.
How he loved to listen to,
The gossip of the hearts broken in two.
Some relationships were meant to lose,
Fate demands his dues.
How could he be so unlucky?
Surely, this was the work of irony.
Or, perhaps, was he,
Just unlovable from the beginning?
Loverboy learned not to care,
When his friend spoke about her affairs.
After all, he was alone,
With no opinion to offer besides his own.
His friend was clueless,
Clueless about Loverboy’s mind.
He accepted his fate,
That one day he’d be left behind.
Loverboy’s lack of love,
Led to lies of liable fun.
Just smile and listen to the stories they tell,
His tears overflowed inside his well.
Don’t crack,
Don’t break,
Loverboy can’t afford to make a mistake.
After all, it’s not about you,
It never was,
Loverboy knew this to be true.
Loverboy loved to listen to others’ loves.
A lie to keep him up at night.
Loverboy wished an angel would fall from above,
To show him some love,
Some of that fated love.

Allow yourself my darling,
To take my hand gleefully,
As we dance while skating,
Watch each other lovingly,
Immersed in love we gaze,
Never forgetting to breathe,
Skates piercing through ice,
Oh the heart shaped carving,
It becomes more pronounced,
And we know it will fade away.
But this love we'll feel together,
Always, forever & forevermore,
You just long for my embrace,
Trust me dear because so do I,
I am you & even you are me,
Staying rigidly in each other,
Because it is but of course we,
Both these worlds are warned,
We are not going to stay apart,
We break all the societal walls.

serenade me with silence
...
I look for your affections between the lines...
on napkin corners...
in notebooks, worn with age
...
unclothe me to the metronome of your latest rabbit trail
I won't mind if it is meant for someone else
...
love, I'm asking for nothing more than to share your bed
...
play muse, for a night
or two
...
darling, I think I could be poetic for you.

Look at you boy, you're a trend!
Kiss me, **** me
I love it when
Bam bam
As good as you can gets better every time
"I wish I wasn't such a loverboy"
What was that?
Tell me again

For so long I have been without
convinced passion bit the dust
and then one day you came along
and somehow lit the lust.
Your words were sheer poetry
emotion did not hide
perhaps that was the spark
that lit the fire inside.
Now I remember how it feels
my passions I will trust
Get your *** here loverboy
to be with you I must.

You are my soda bubbles
And, I love you
So sweet, you fizzle down
My tongue, my throat, around
Say goodbye to loverboy
He is okay
You are okay
Yay

The first time i saw you
I witnessed the clouds part.
You were simply walking
I thought to myself, **holy ****
Because
I'd never seen
Someone as cute as you in my life
cliche right
No.
Because see you looked at me too.
And i must ask
what were you thinking?
If...
Anything at all.
I found myself thinking of you all day
Nothing lustful,
No
Just innocent thoughts.
I thought about how clear your eyes are
And how much i would like to talk to you.
Im a loverboy.
God i know.
And i fall easy.
But trust me,
I want you
You are different.
Just like me.
And i value that.
I value you
I know these words are words.
But i am trying to be brave.
See
i dont like to be brave
But you are worth humility
Worth slander
Worth anything.
You took my heart that day.
And if its okay with you,
Id like to implement a no returns policy
Im a simple guy
But my feelings for you are joyfully complicated.
I looked in the mirror that day.
**i took a **** good look at myself**
And i came to the conclusion that i couldnt win a girls heart like yours.
But i know.
i know
That you dont love for the appearence.
Every time we meet
You greet me with a warm smile,
tight hug
And i hope
You see something in me that you like
Right?
God i hope so.
I can never find the words to tell you
But
Here it is.
I like you.
(As i fall over in ******* relief)

"You know that there is no other girl, right?"
You **** right I don't know
there is always that other girl
the one you said you always adore
pffftt adore
you adore everyone with a *****
I am crunching the ginger biscuit
as if I'm chewing that ***** face
oops, my bad, it's never her fault
but, come on! her?
she looks so........ stupid
I bet she swallows all your lies
like I did
correction, like WE did
well, you know what?
I hope you marry her
cause we both know that if you don't,
you probably just gonna end up alone
and you're just one pathetic loverboy
because you failed, again, with another girl
come to think about it
I might as well establish a group
for your victims with some other girls
I already say hi to just to laugh at you
so, better not fail this time
XO,
your-just-another-epic-ex!

in my eyes there was a hope, lit and far away,
a dream, waiting, for when things would end.
but as it comes closer, and as days go by,
my vision gets blurry, and my perspective gets lost.
no more am i merry to meet my foe,
nor do those thoughts keep me company.
a wicked ending, lurking on me,
a dead end and the black void are waiting on me.
it's hard to imagine and even harder to say,
the fear i feel deep in the night,
when not even the stars are awake.
but, come the morning and i rise,
the thoughts are gone, i'm fine again.
the loverboy sun spreads his smile
across the sky, it's on the roofs, i think it hits my soul too.
no more am i odd, no more do i cry,
but when the sky falls down, i collapse again.
i wish i could stay as brave as when i'm with the sun,
yet the nightmare never seems to end,
because it only has
one possible end.

I bit my lip
It bled.
The blood trickled down
I desire your touch.
I desire you.
I wish you could see
Im like a loverboy with a sign
Making my love for you so obvious.
Im not average.
I wanna show you
What i can be.
Its just...
Im sorry
I love you

Never again
Will my body
Be caressed
Or cared for
Nor shall it
Be seen again
My body will rot
And die
Thinking
Of the lover
Who took me
Fiercely
And often
Who i shared
Passion with
Who i experimented with
Who i let teach me
And who i moaned for
Whose name i whimpered for
The lover who is one of a kind
Who i let try things that hurt
And things that felt amazing
No matter how nervous
The lover who
I said those three words to
That lover
Who i will never
Get to make love to again
That lover who no longer exists.

Sad boy with the hurricane eyes
I know you're out there lookin at the sky
It's all an illusion
Slow down, what are you doin?
Loverboy with the tired smile
I know you're up now like you are every night
Oh what a ******
Oh what a summer

there is no love
except between the sheets
at least that’s what you said
right before you left
as you crawled out from the messy bed
fully naked, fully honest
you left faster than you came

i tell her the truth
je suis en amour
her reaction is uncouth
she points me to the door
she says we are but youth
“of this i want no more,
get out and stay out
garçon en amour!”

I choke on the decomposition,
the rotten, vegetal smell of her
home.
I’m in there every three months.
She, with her withered legs and
her ******** bewildered smile,
tells me that everything’s groovy.
But, I know better.
It ain’t.
She ****** herself on the regular.
She tells me that her man is all
sorts of lovey-dovey.
He ain’t.
He’s a ************
in sheep’s clothing.
There’s nothing to report though.
If she won’t say it,
neither can I.
I walk out the door,
that the caregiver holds open.
Ol’ Loverboy has his dentures
in his hand, wiping them down.
The desire to put them back in his
mouth for him is huge.
I imagine him choking,
like I am.
Not on that rotten, dead plant stench,
but on a fistful of incisors.

My best friends name is Lindsay
We like to go and dance
I specialize in the drunken techno prance
Dancing to la la la la la/ la la la la la/ la de da da da
A random guys says and I quote, "Shake what you mamma give ya!"
That's so funny ****
And makes you want to do anything but sit!
We got to go in VIP- up above
DJ Caffeine was up there and the captain of love
He lives to say "make some noise motha fucka's" A LOT
He can't think of anything else to say when put on the spot
Loverboy is a very ugly guy
When you look at him it makes you want to cry!
The girls in the thong contest were *****
but they bared all on stage, which took some guts
The place was surrounded with Russians and Hicks,
But I did learn some new glow stick tricks!
Lindsay had three...and was almost gone...
Like a switch it turned dance mode on!
The drink of choice was *** On The Beach
But that ugly guy was such a leech
That guy was such a bisnatch
That was all up in my motha f'n bis-nass
We owned the stage for half the show
surrounded by objects that glow
"Mind distortion was the name of the thing,
And when we left Lindsay got asked to be a model for a magazine!
She said all she wants to do is sleep
Cuz the guy kinda looked like a creep
So we went back to Jamie's apartment and slept on the floor
up eight hours later and out the door
We decided to go shopping,
But once we started we felt like dropping
Me,Merri Lindsay and Jimb went to a party when we got home
I got really drunk, and really ******
I got to talk to a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while;
I was so happy all I did was SMILE
Lindsay was sad, so I hugged her a lot
It seemed like the right thing to do at that stroke of the clock!
Jesse's dad came out in his whity tighties and said "f'n leave!"
That was the funniest moment of the night, I do believe!
Tim had a party too, but nobody went
By the time we left Lowell, we were all spent
So our weekend turned out to be really fun
And now I think this poem is done!

the focal point of integrating into
english society
is learning how to have comic
value via sarcasm...
bananas are gay!
what?!
they're bent!
show me a straight banana...
i don't mind abnomartalities
in other fruits or veg...
sure, cucumbers are straight,
and gherkins are bent,
sickle, communist, islamic,
crescent moon...
wait, wait wait a minute,
i thought you asked me to incorporate
into your culture?
don't get the joke all of a sudden?
can't be english then, even
if you're english...
oh right, not enough *** / whiskey
running in your bloodstream...
go into the toilet and puke some kebab bits
out... i'm going to have another
shot with this cossack friend of time...
shore ahoy! "tipsy" sailor!
in the gutter of a ****** or kissing
the ropes with a ****** loverboy...
**** the planks float, shit's fine with me,
just don't you try to get it in my face,
i'm cool with it coming near my shoes...
but that's the limit, matey.
once again,
show me a straight banana,
and i'll show you pear curvatures in
an apple,
and a mohican on a pineapple's tip
that's frizzy-afro hedgehog punk.
******* bonkers ********
you'd get more febreeze cool
shouting: torro! torro!
at nothing more than your own shadow
impressed against a brick wall.
- yo! brin'g'ah m'eh a'h boo'ket 'oath a'h
tick-tack-toes!
- huh?
- t'oh-m'ah-twos!
- tomatoes.
- y'ah tum-tums.
- yeah, because a bunch of tomatoe throwing
spanish freaks will **** that bull,
when the toredor's blades didn't.
- mon!
- wha'?
- shee won' b' e noo'veil...
- **** me, i wasn't into hemingway anyway,
the guy fish merlins off the coast
of cuba, for all i care;
i'd too take to a death in the afternoon,
his finest "book",
a shot of absinthe in a flute of champagne;
i swear i almost mentioned veal.

loverboy,
I cannot remember the last time I looked into your eyes without imagining a
blue-sky Sunday coffee type of day.
The type of day where I sit by my window and yearn for an exit outside of the hole I’ve fallen into.
I’m sure you didn’t mean to do it.
It was I who dug a hole and covered it with leaves thinking you’d fall into it just as I had.
I remember how you didn’t even turn around to face me as I tumbled down and under.
You didn’t even hear me fall.
Don’t worry, I don’t blame you.
I used to play with a fire too hot to hold. I still do.
I let it burn right through me with hopes that you’d see.
Apparently I was so bright that I blinded you.
You couldn’t see
Why couldn’t you just see me?
It’s not that hard, dear lover boy. I didn’t just rip out my heart,
I carved it out from my unwilling body
because it beat only for you.
It was useless in my own self. Why didn’t you just take it?
Offered right here on a silver plate
It beat for you.
It’s all right.
It’s all my fault
Covered in autumn leaves, the gaping hole inside me wasn’t big enough for you to fall through and return the very ***** I entrusted to you.
I don’t blame you.
I’m sorry.

loverboy.
“please kiss me until i can’t breathe!”
i beg
“show me the afterlife
show me the forbidden fruits that eve tasted
show me the eagerness and the aching pain that you feel in your chest
hold me for eternity throughout this lifetime
we can forget about heartbeats
because they’re so painful to feel
we’re just taking breaths to stay
we can count stars instead
you can taste the stardust on my tongue if you’d like
we can go to mars and slow dance until our feet are nothing but ash
can we be in love until there’s nothing left?
let’s lose everything there is to have!”
i roared
“please kiss me until there’s only an us.”
