get your
hands dirty 
write your poems
nice and flirty 
keep it simple
don’t get wordy
tell her
ya think she’s pertty

heaven is full of
lies with angel
eyes and prayer
beads wrapped
tightly around
your neck 
feel them squeeze
between your sighs

we are
two stars
locked in orbit
held by
gravity’s embrace
magnetic
and enigmatic
reveling in each
stellar space

with each yawn
i fear that soon
my pillow 
will eat me alive

if god has a plan
she left me out of it 
or maybe 
that was the plan
and i’m just
oblivious 

sometimes 
prolific 
occasionally 
poetic 
but always 
enamored 
with you

i’m the willful
hopeless romantic
that breaks promises
and digs holes
that become graves 
for his relationships 

when
the words turn on
they’re spilt out like 
kerosene on wooden floors
soaking deep into the grain 
until it’s dripping through 
to the neighbors flat

the sun 
the moon
the stars
the planets
of the milky way
are all points
of light
on my canvas
realigned 
to say
you’re the
only being 
in the universe 
that makes 
my heart 
swoon and sway
and i’d gladly
shift a
billion more
just to
hold you 
until my 
final day

you are my ocean
i am it’s waves
together we are
stronger than tides
and we move 
their currents
our way
