New Perfume, Same Promises
That ring was a symbol
unity on my finger
All the times you said you loved me
words of undying truth
Quiet moments in the mornings
holding me in your arms
laughing by the fire
gazing at the sun turning amber
then a mellowed purple
Did you mean it when you slid
it on my finger
called me yours
promised me forever?
I thought we fit
like jigsaw grooves
but in your bed is another
and I can’t stand their perfume
I despise you.
What’s worse than false promises
the I love you’s
and blood diamonds
Are the promises you make
to that woman with her perfume

Last Goodbye
She was evening nights sprinkled with fireflies. She was bouquets of every shade. She was long farewells, dandelion wishes, and key lime pie. Her heart beating atop my chest settled my breath into a steady patter every Sunday morning when the birds were chirping and her hands would hold mine, delicate and powerful, carrying me into the day with jittery excitement and beaming optimism and just when the world felt like it would fall into pieces I watched her wave with a smile plastered on her beautiful face knowing I was hers and she was mine from now until the end. She was warm embraces beneath a woven blanked. She was long road trips below a bright sun. She was mine and I was hers until our last goodbye.

Love in June
Why does attraction bear shame
when authenticity should be bliss
beyond imagination?
What of love and a kiss?
A photo makes me worry and wonder
am I doing right by Him?
If my mind were clouded in filth, what more should I discover
as I clamber inward?
Skin-crawling and heavy-minded
I lay awake in twilight, tortured by what could be.
Is there a point in it
or will it all come crashing?
Is there pride to be found in the monochrome,
saturated only by the few with conviction?
Could there be more besides loathing?
It has a grasp on me.
