Permission to Marry

“He keeps leaving his dirty boxers on the floor,” Samira complained. “I’m at my wit’s end. I know you raised him better than this. I’m not his mother.” Hillie stopped the recording and pursed her lips. “I told her my Joseph needed a Proverbs 31 woman,” she said. “Does she sound like a wife who does not eat the bread of idleness?” “I love her,” Joseph said flatly. “But does she work with eager hands?” Hillie asked with venom. “She’s a renowned surgeon—” “But does she work as eagerly at home?” Joseph sighed. “No, mother.” Hillie grinned. “Leave her.”

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

I Keep Hiting the same Red Lights

light-blue stars, in a green-colored grass christmas is coming late floors that reflect the ceilings ceilings that reflect the infinite holding hands, gripped in to the wall running through the halls it's a still image while mine is stopping, I felt my soul leave to set a beach net between two pillars of a comercial building for she to rest until i decide to live again until i decide to ramble my roots in the cement ground like a miracolous tree that burns out of the disks scamble tightly along the digitalized sky, colours vivid voices like the mermaids that breath toxic seas and at the top stand the mannequins, showing their transexual freed

Believe in a Thing Called Love

Finding someone who you truly love is finding the hidden parts of your own entity while they help you extract it from the depths of your own self-doubt. The thought of wonders of another soul that matched your beating hearts’ pulses seemed so far-fetched that you reminded yourself every chance you got that love was for other people, and that you would never find it. That you were beyond the care of a single person in this world. Because you believed that the real grandiose being that is yourself was too dull and too different for love to ever find it’s way into your narrow path of self-loathing. People would tell you all the ti

Conversations

From time to time, you haunt me without announcing, unexpectedly. You cling to me, smother me to make me stay with you, shielded from the world. I sit with you and listen, 'cause you might want to tell me what I neglected. If I don't force you, you will ecentually retrieve until you return for the next chapter.

Zephyrus

You coax, slowly. Said it's like a bear in hibernation: When my love lies buried under 15 feet of ice. You take the form of spring, And gently warm my frozen limbs. I melt in his arms, crying— "You deserve more summers than this." "But all I want is you," he says. And then my seasons shift.

Homebody

I let you in: Smiled as you smashed windows; Broke open doors; tore down walls. The echo through the corridors Grew scared, and flew away— But I stayed. And I chose to paint the facing white.

after the party.

He's drunk in the backseat. "Anna. Anna. Anna," he moans, as if my name is a broken record his throat can't stop scratching; his voice is nettles and thorns, every natural prick and annoyance. My knuckles go white on the wheel. Ryan's riding shotgun and he won't look at me. "If you need me to drive him home, I can do it," he offers sheepishly. I don't answer, just press my foot to the gas and let the engine's rusty roar engulf John's voice. I peek in the rearview mirror. John's laying across the seat like a dead trout, and I can tell Ryan hasn't even bothered to buckle his seat belt. There's a photo album in John's arms that he clings to w

Exit, Stage Left

"You're lonely," he said. Thelma jumped, startled. She might not have even heard his voice over the thumping dance music, but it was just at that moment where there was a temporary lull between songs. He stood nearby, his head slightly tilted. Thelma glanced behind her, his words ricocheting in her mind - she wasn't sure what was more surprising, what he'd said or that he'd noticed and bothered to relay this observation to her at all. He was good-looking, tall and thin with artfully spiky hair, but something about him struck her as unsettling. Perhaps it was the way he spoke, or that his eyes were oddly piercing, but either way she felt hers

Rose and Iris

They loved their garden; Mother and Daughter would spend Hours in the sun. Behind their house was Green dotted with red, yellow, Pink and countless more. Mother loved roses; Daughter preferred irises. They planted with care. They watched the sun rise While blowing dandelions, And mimicked at dusk. Their birdbaths brought in Winged visitors who were Greeted with bird seed. All meals were eaten On a polka-dot blanket; Nothing but home-cooked. Catching butterflies, Looking for funny-shaped clouds, Climbing the oak tree. They ran, danced and sang, Never tiring of their Love for each other. Daughter did not think That her

and so we sleep

the furnace speaks to keep the almost silence and I am running my pale claws along the stretch of your clavicle watching you drift wanting to stay wakeful but there is such comfort in this closeness pressed flesh and shared memory your slow sleepy smile as you say "same" about the ways we've intertwined and when you finally start to dream and place your well-loved hand in mine I am lost thoughts stretch like taffy I join you in the warm dark grateful and happy

not with a bang...

the past is a pit I pulled myself out of cast off all aspersions left the molehills for the mountains use them skeletons as stepping stones the snakes become the ladders sure the closet remains cluttered but it doesn't really matter I'm a haphazard collection a jigsaw given sentience this after- life's gone unrequited but the dam(n/m-ed) still bursts with sentiments found the love of lines but lost my interest in the circles this heart bared the book left open I don't pave my path with hurdles I still hunger for the stars and I've got a few million spare forevers I could be light I could be heat I could b

This one's for you, love.
