Just Another Day in the Coffee Shop
it’s not always that you catch the eye
but there are times
where you simply can’t deny
the connection that the 'eye' implies
remember the eye. it never lies
it happens to be a sunny day
a young man seats solo at a cafe
with a coffee in hand
in and out he breathes air
he is observant per usual
allowing it all to simply pass
a beautiful women he spies

And why?
And why are you still in my head?
In my chest,
In my soul?
Engulfed by disdain, disgust and love.
And I am so lone.
In the middle of Oxford Street crowds
I want your advice that never helped
I want your forehead kisses that I rejected.
Longing for you on dark silent nights.
To debate: am I ever truly alone?
Or does your phantomlike presence ignite and guide...

Red Granite
Red Granite
Listen closely and hear
To know what the dawn needs
Tired eyes and a drifting thought
You must be astronaut sat upon God’s knees
Closer to hear
What the colors of dawn needs
Poppyseed fields at the foot of a valley
The crimson of God’s teeth

Content
I am content to love you,
Knowing I will never be loved in return,
For it is better to give than to receive,
And loving is better than being loved.
The happiness the thought of you brings me
Is enough.
If I cant hold you in my arms,
Then I will hold you in my thoughts
And be satisfied,
Knowing that you live in my mind
And can never leave me.

Roadside Wildflowers
I hope the stars
Always twinkle for you.
I hope the flowers
Always bloom for you.
I hope the sun
Always shines for you.
I hope the moons
Always bright for you.
I hope the sunset
Is always your favorite color.
I hope your ocean’s
waves are always calm.
I hope your river
Always runs true.
I hope the rain
Never lasts too long.

Criminals
The red light
And its stunning sight
Remind me of
Our lips when they fight
The blue blaze
As the siren plays
Reminds me of
Your eyes and their gaze
I didn’t care that I
Was being arrested
I don’t even fear to die
If my love gets contested
Because my love is real
Even if it is a crime
Being guilty isn’t a deal
To love is, this time
In a...

Up Close
Who is he?
This man I only know up close?
Does he know me? And if so,
who is this woman, this me he knows?
We have an odd situation, he and I, like a fantasy played out on a stage,
a performance, a curtain call and
then done.
I know the up-close, the heat, the physical
yet when I see him from a cool distance,
I don't know him.
He becomes someone else with someone el...

My last night, in the flat we almost shared
You've already left.
537 miles North of me, of us.
I'll ruffle up to join you in four (agonising) weeks
but to my unconcerned shame,
I'm too sad to sleep in that bed without you, too ungoverned.
Nostalgia, even the warm kind, is too much feeling for me.
Something about it has always made my lipids curdle
and an unpleasant tickle cloud in my brain.
The street ou...

No Need to Talk of Love
No need to talk of love
Some things are better left unsaid
I didn’t tell you then
And I can hardly tell you now
Although some days I find the thought hanging on my lips
Deep inside I’ll say the words
I can see them like hot breath on a cold night
Though I can’t say them out loud
Better to wait for darker days
For eulogies perhaps,
For talking about the ...

Nothing More
I think of you, chastise myself,
And press your name away
Ignoring, stubbornly, the fact,
You’re present every day
I don’t ask why I cannot help
But seek your commentary
On every task, or smile of mine-
A wish I cannot bury
I say, embarrassed at myself,
That this affair ends now.
This fantasy, this made-up game,
I cannot keep allowing
After...

Poetry Prompt: 'Forever is composed of nows'
Just the right amount of squeeze
at my hip
of a lemon
on the pasta we craft for each other
of the sponge he knows I don’t like to touch when wet.
A tongue, a croissant, a bottom smack,
exactly when we wanted one
A well-timed tease, balletically treading that tightrope line
from this now, to the next, to the next to the next please
Moments studded above our ...

5 things I remember from the beginning
Giggles and winks at romantic excess
The mountains seem like overkill yes
I’d said with a grin that shone my delight
And fastened my thighs steel clam-snap tight,
The still of his stare, blue-blazing and prised
By billows of sun emulsified
In bright, surf-swept skies and slick seas of cloud,
Long salted kisses, wet noses bowed,
Collateral pass...
