a loss

when it is
for the greater good
when it is
the right thing and
the best solution
there is no place
for an objection

there is nothing for him here;
i've watched this place
weigh him down
i've watched each day
dissolve him

so he will go
and gain something more

but for me
it is a loss

HE IS MINE

i want nothing but to be
pure
(just like you want me)
radiating virtue and nobility
without a single mistake
on my record

but the reality is
i am no saint
i am human

and for that i apologize

nothing i can do about that
08/20/2008 01:55 p.m.
i'll write about how i love you
and you write about how i've fucked up
while you admire all the beautiful things
that others say
because apparently my words
just don't do it for you

[nothing i can do about that]

listen closely
this may come as a shock to you
but you
are gorgeous:
an unbelievable fusion of
artfully crafted
features that unite
harmoniously

and you
are brilliant:
eloquent, astute, insightful
and passionate:
sensual, sexy, seductive

and although you don't
acknowledge these things
you're not stopping the others
from noticing
[i can see those women,
the hunger in their eyes;
i can see how much they'd just love
a closer look]

this may be news to you
but you are gorgeous, brilliant, passionate
and the truth is
i'm just not willing to share

close enough
08/18/2008 01:05 a.m.
lying next to you it's hard
to contain how much i want
to experience you
with each sense
see.hear.taste.touch.smell
your every inch,
breathe you deep
into my lungs
i want to crawl inside your skin
and sleep behind your eyes
it's that feeling when you just
can't get close enough

unravel
08/11/2008 10:10 p.m.
post-thunderstorm
the clouds exit single file
as the steam from the pavement
lingers

downtown the smell of
laundry and
hot garbage
kisses the wet august air

the men stand on the corners
of the streets
their mouths silent but
their eyes deafening
as i pass

[men are stupid, they have no idea]

in my solitude i try to silence
my inner monologue
but you know things are bad
when you can't listen to
the sound of a dog barking
without feeling yourself unravel

the more i do
08/11/2008 03:10 a.m.
why is it that
the more i do
the more i continue
to think i'm not doing enough


[i just want to make peace
with myself]

poem collection
08/06/2008 02:09 a.m.
because lately, my own words have failed
i have decided to make a
poem collection
for you
every poem that i read that
makes me think of you
for one reason or another

i'll keep them on little pieces of paper
small, insignificant
but enough to remind you that
i love you
even though
i'm running out of ways to say it
