How much do I love you?

I love you more today

than all the days before

but far less than those

that have yet to dawn...

till last breaths are drawn

When I think of you

My heart takes flight and

I wait for the crash

I know how gravity works

Yet somehow, it's still flying

That Moment

I was never a bard

But I swear my dear!

Since the moment I set

My eyes just for you,

I turned into a poet.

Lovely

There is something so beautiful

about how you love life.

The way you never let

anything get under your skin

or break you beyond repair.

6 am

Six in the morning and,

my hands catch in your

dark, velvety tresses that splay

across the white sheets. Do

you want to stay forever?

My Leia

Dream wakes my silent hand

To trace where I began;

Though darkness takes its toll,

When the cup is full

Your face I see again.

My favourite Dinosaur

My favourite dinosaur, the Brachiosaurus

No one asks, when old

I still think of him

I think he knows, too

A monster gentle as I.

Souvenirs South of the Border

My friend packed for Tijuana

Tag along? No don't wanna

Senioritas and cervezas on ice

Tequilla amnesia? Maybe think twice

Sombrero souvenir? Contracted gonorrhea instead

hold

I keep secrets for everyone

I hold them like gifts

valuable, valueless pieces of soul

secrets; my dragon treasure trove

lock and key, my control

this morning in the city,

the late april sun lollygags

behind a carbon dioxide curtain.

my cappuccino has gone cold;

i just shiver and wait.
