I spoke to my boyfriend
and three of my exes….
I broke through the wasteland
of various sexes…
Left message for fourth
with no one inside me…
Saddled and spurred
with no one to ride me.

Ex-cised Ex-citement
Allowances
I want to kiss him
and taste of his lover.
I must abstain
if I want the other.
All taste the same;
the lie that I tell.
I know desire
will send me to Hell.
I want to read
and weep through the diction.
Allow me to breathe
and keep to the fiction.
Allow me to feel
all the lies that we tell.
Allow me to heal
and despise what we sell.
Allowances given.
Allowances taken.
From what is allowed
we may not awaken.
What is allowed
may infest us inside.
What is allowed
would best be denied.

That Moment in the Reeds
A part of each other
that makes us both sad…
It’s hard to get over
what we never had…
Our love was requited
but we were a mess…
Inside recited
what made us obsessed:
The tint in those skies.
The feel of the wind.
The glint in your eyes.
The scent of your skin.
The kiss that meant nothing
until we were gone.
The kiss that meant something
because we were wrong.
The kiss was abandoned
unknown in the splendor…
The kiss never happened
although we remember.
