I try you on in the store
the way I would try on
an expensive leather coat or
a pair of high heeled boots,
mulling over the decision
in front of a mirror
and the sales lady,
wondering . . . more

We've come to the end
of a beautiful relationship;
right now, I just want you to know
the fact that it is ending
takes nothing away from its beauty
and its very special meaning to me.
I've loved . . . more

She needed damaged dreams
to be repaired, so crane prayers
lifted metal spirits higher
until the storm slammed
into downtown events
as below, on Thirteenth Avenue,
due to rush hour traffic,

If you were here right now,
standing right in front of me,
I would kiss you.
I would plant one on you
that would steal your breath
as it burned into your memory.
Lip to lip, and hip to hip,
my arms would . . . more

Tears falling
in an ocean of blue ink.
I'm drowning in my head.
Arms flailing,
splashing words on these pages,
but nothing I have said.
Pulled under,
submerged in my confusion.
I'm breathing . . . more

Heaven rests in your eyes,
while grace is in your touch.
You love every inch of them,
and covet just as much.
To be loyal and submissive
is to love you,
every kiss laced with a promise,
every gesture . . . more

He likes to read me
run his fingers
across the lines
of my remains...feminine
curve of delicate
thought
he likes to think
he's trapped breath
in stalled stanzas—
unfinished as dreams— . . . more

Your words run up my back like ice,
tearing, ripping, slicing my flesh.
My soul slides out the gaping wounds,
shattering into a billion pieces on the floor.
The blood oozes as I kneel down,
covering the . . . more

You say my eyes are pools that you can get lost in,
deep as an ocean with windows directly to my soul.
You could stare into them forever, or so you claim,
with your clichéd advances that seem to . . . more

What if I were to say:
I'll never be complete without you;
would you contest or
believe my words to be true?
What if I were to say:
I couldn't survive if we were not together;
would you . . . more

Walk with me on the path of life,
exploring every bend of the road.
Enjoy with me the beauty of life
along its wonderful course.
Find comfort in my open arms
when grief crosses our path,
as I will find . . . more

Skeletons and lost love,
it's all just a part of the day.
The tears won't dry up,
they never choose to fade.
I freeze in front of the mirror.
My face looks older day by day.
My reflection . . . more

I thought to write you a song
confessing my desires,
unwrapping my corpse to reveal what lay beneath,
what hallows and corners could hide.
But when I thought to write these lyrics,
I thought to make . . . more

Sharp as knives,
sanguine tears

from hidden caves
of my soul,
clattering in
a dark shallow grave
where childish dreams have
become fine particles
of pretty fairy dust shifting
aimlessly . . . more

I forgot how to write in color
so I turned to black and white with
an ink splattered mess on my fingers
from trying to finger paint portraits
on a wrinkled canvas.
I tried to immortalize the sparkle of . . . more

I saved the dried, colorful petals
from the roses that you sent me.
My last request is to have them
crushed and mixed into the
ashes of my cremated body:
Mix the ashes with the petal
crumbs, and sprinkle . . . more

It's an ugly landscape-
gazing out across acres of mildewed romances
and the dried-out craters
of all the stars that fell out of the sky
whenever lovers uttered sobbings of farewells.

Bring me down from the shelf.
Place me next to your heart,
in your shirt pocket
for safekeeping.
Take me out when you need me-
time for a break.
Relieve some stress...
draw me to your . . . more

I wrote poems across the silver of your headstone,
knowing your bones were beneath my knees.
I was trying to concentrate on happy memories,
but all I could see was the "R.I.P."

Broken words seem to fill in places
like the unexpressed meanings
on the tip of my sinful tongue.
Chapstick smears on the mirror
like the torn rose petals on the ground,
telling the tale . . . more
