I startled you with my voice,
and you startled me with your eyes.
How is it that you capture
my awe-struck expression
without blinking away
this ridiculous sight?
5/15/12: Engine
There is more to this speed than its faulty engine; its engineer is slow to making adjustments.
5/15/12
We were in motion;
in tune with our thoughts.
We just couldn’t voice them
in the same
direction.
5/14/12
We assemble these pieces
as if we have them all.
5/13/12 Part 3
Each time we lean in
for that hug,
for that kiss,
more and more
of this yarn ball
is unwinding,
unwinding,
unwinding.
Will it all become
one big, tangled mess?
Or will we be able to knit
complementary sweaters
that will keep us warm
through the coming years?
5/13/12 Part 2
I don’t aim to burden
but you happen to be
the target.
You happen to be as large
and wide
as unfathomable spaces.
It hurts me
that I can’t fill you up
with shooting stars
and comets.
But it relieves me
that you
are deep enough
to fully
understand
my motions.
5/13/12: Lending
The way I keep lending you my warmth.
Not just with my hands thawing your hands
or my legs tangled in yours.
But the way you borrow the spare key
and leave me waiting in the cold.
You think I’m enough to keep you well-protected,
but I’m a sickness colder than cold.
5/13/12
You slip off your ring
as I step out
of my favorite
one-piece.
I don’t feel bad for her at all.
‘Cause it could be worse.
It could always
be worse.
5/7/12
I just need some time to sit
and eat some fancy dinner with you,
‘cause I noticed I’ve never
encountered us
in candlelight.
And I’m craving for your
luminous eyes.
5/5/12
She was the needle
And I,
the direction.
And they say
the journey
is more valuable
than
the destination.
