safe distance

i'd like to
sit across the table
from you
a safe distance between us
watching you
watch me
over the rim of your glasses

i won't chase you

but your doubts

your fear, your worries

they will

hungry
01/02/2010 04:12 a.m.
i am trying to figure out why i want
so much
this abstract title
this fantastical union
that our culture has glorified
and that i have been brainwashed
to see as necessity
as the only way to truly
devote yourself
to someone

why do i yearn so much
for something that would not
change a thing
about me or him
or how we love each other

our love stands on its own
no rings or ceremonies or white dress
so i demand to know
who has taken over my mind and made me so
hungry for a marriage

as attractive
as his smile
and yours, darling
is electric

cannot write a poem
10/25/2009 12:40 p.m.
i am so full of emotion that i
simply cannot write a poem.
i have no clear thought to express,
no emotions that i can codify
into a little filing folder labeled
"anger," "frustration,"
"jealousy," "regret,"
or "sadness."
perhaps all of the above.
i don't like to make to mistakes,
but i suppose it is inevitable that i am
punished for keeping a lid on
the hurt that simmered within me.
every day i felt its steam
filling my lungs, but i,
because i am so strong and so wise,
trapped it in there until
i choked.

verbalize

to verbalize
is to make something
that was once safe
in the mind
a reality

this can be a good
or very bad
thing

forgive him
09/10/2009 10:14 p.m.
i will never forgive him
for leaving

because during his departure
i was too young
and too accepting
of whatever reality
was happening at the moment

but now i can see
just what exactly
he did to us
and as much as i love him
i will never forgive him
