No Questions, Just For Tonight
Twice, I died
holding you in my bare arms
feeling weight of
unspoken words
unfinished dreams
cradling unshed tears
gasping at unfamiliarity
of tranquility
the vast space of our lovebed
the divide;
listening to shards of songs
jarring through velvet scars.
Come,
lay on my lap
I'll tell you a tale
of Starry Starry Night
emblazoned with sapphire stars
burning hearts, churning desires
coy smiles lured with daisy hearts
making love on carpet'd dandelions
watching the sun chase the moon
and the moon chase the sun
eclipsed by three words
engraved in memory.
Fold,
your fragile trust
Inside my womb
like a crescent moon
cover yourself with
ashen regrets
then blow them against
mournful winds
swooned with lullaby
I'll cherish your wounds
with sacrilegious tears.
No questions
just for tonight.
Come,
lay on my lap
For dying once was not enough
I would gladly die with you, twice.

The First Time I Saw Her
The first time I saw her,
I had to conceal my eyes,
It was just that thing about her,
I didn’t know what to do or say,
Besides, I was being shy,
The only thing I could think of,
Was hiding.
And when she looked at me,
I felt some kind of wave,
That still to this day I can’t explain,
But it rushed through me,
It soared and surged in me,
A flow of constant inspiration,
It lingered from then on,
With no sign of fading away.

for your eyes only
this face of mine
when the duct tape
gives way and it leaks
like a broken faucet,
remnants of depressed
folly - lacerations, burns,
and hidden calluses,
the way i look into
the dark beyond when
i'm down in a rabbit hole,
a fire burning tall
and wide, overtaking
the world's storms,
mountains,
my stretched-out grin,
and better yet:
a nervous twitch at
the corner of my lips,
a hope, a feverish hunger
as strong as goliath
and resourceful as david,
my dancing in the dark;
the cracks in my frame
which i've lined with gold,
a box full of tattered journals,
broken marbles/ a void
as pure as snow, smoke,
whispered secrets,
my sub rosa shade of pink,
a soon-to-be tattoo,
and a song that usually
never sees the light of day.
