this is another love poem.

this is another love poem you probably stumbled at midnight,

waiting and praying that this poem would leave you with

the lighting shaking under your pores and after shakes of 

beautiful, euphoric thoughts to be reborn again and again

at the course of midnight to four am. 

not at all.

this is a poem about how badly you want what you can't have.

you kissed the corners of my lips and made my knees the

stage for each of your finger's dance of ballet and do countable

pirouettes. 

i told you that i would bake you cookies for your trip to

montana but you knew damn well knew i didn't know how

to crack a single egg but i made you oatmeal cookies anyway

and you accepted it and tried it like they weren't made of hard

concrete and burnt. good acting skills, baby.

beneath the yellow light and the old crumpled sheets of poems

i call my children, there was your handwriting, your goddamn handwriting

that makes me want to cry. it said, "please don't hurt yourself."

fragments of my heart are scattered all over my redwood floor

where we laid down while you smile at me and make me feel so

needed that i've forgotten for a second that i was too cynical. 

you make me feel very special and i hate it.

You don't even give the reader a chance to escape from the grasp of your words in this piece. They reach out and grab you & seep into your very being until you are feeling exactly what you are describing. Wanting without even the possibility of quenching loves thirst, just wanting the numbness to take all the feelings of cynicism & insignificance away. I couldn't have worded better how I feel more days than not. This is excellent. You are descriptive, articulate, & possess a pure, raw talent for writing that is envious to say the least. Never stop writing.

Thank you, I would like to have writing as my professional career someday and you're words bring me great value and reason.

This is an awesome write. Cleverly put together and really speaks of your inner essence as a person. Your personality shows through your writing which makes it so real. Great job.
