The Triangle.
you smile at me
thats when i can sing
but you dont stop
i am not your destination
even though i use to be
there she is
standing, waiting
to hold the hand that use to hold mine
its so unfair
i know you better
when did best friends become separate from
lovers?
i feel like this could be sooooo much better. and go in a different direction, but its what i got. now tell me what it needs.
A Cliche Kind of Love
those ruby red lips speak to me
but then,
you call me "buddy"
my heart breaks
into one million pieces
at this simple word
you are my cliche
girl loves best friend
best friend loves other girl
love hurts
me no likey.
Wordless
Your sweet breath on mine,
the taste I kept,
breathing in the words you wouldn’t say
saying the things I didn’t want to hear;
our goodbye.
your arms secured my body
pulling me close;
I wasn’t letting go.
your hands were mocking mine,
making a memory of each curve,
consuming your heat through
the gray cotton,
pushing on every muscle
to remember what strength felt like.
your eyes fell intensely into mine,
I’m sure you felt my heart clap,
our bodies were pressed
so close.
your hands, tracing up my spine,
tingling my senses
till they cradled my face in between.
you held me there so I would listen.
you smiled at my reaction
and at the sound the crickets made
while quickening their pace from the
heat we radiated,
before bending low to speak;
“goodbye’’
your lips spoke to mine.
“goodbye”
mine spoke back.
Our language we kept in sync,
singing in harmony
for our last brief moment.
Then, you pulled away with
one last look.
Your head lights were smugged
by the combination of salt and water,
but I kept watching
as my world changed.
that is my poem so far.

i am a failure.
you will have to be patient.
my immune system is weak,
and too busy fighting off the bad to allow creative cells to breed.
so please take this time, and read somewhere else.
