at 
every 
tree 
we 
walked 
very 
slowly

she's
a
witch
from
an
ancient
line
of
gypsies
she
doesn't
walk

all
the
songs

your
kisses

through
the
night
it's
true
they
do

that
skipped
beat
they
talk
about
is
his
hand
suddenly
around
my
heart

Sunday, May 22, 2016

I
watched
my
life
like
a
palm
tree
my
heart
film
noir
lit
by
desert
lamplight

I
would
build
a
small
house
in
the
tall
grass
and
hide
away
from
the
wind

she
wrote
stories
with
raindrops
she
wrote
songs
with
the
wind
she
was
the
light

she
started
walking
and
thought
if
she
wasn't
careful
she
may
not
stop

darkness
fell
but
only
for
a
moment
before
I
knew
it
it
was
light

Sunday, May 15, 2016

suddenly
I
was
home
in
my
bed
like
it
had
all
been
just
a
dream

Saturday, May 14, 2016

I
stood
amongst
the
tumbleweed
like
their
mother
his
lips
begged
to
be
kissed

bones
made
from
troubled
earth
I
have
my
mother's
hips
and
my
father's
nose
just
because
something
falls
apart
in
your
hands
doesn't
mean
you
broke
it

I
go
and
spoil
it
all
by
saying
something
stupid
like
I
love
you

-frank & nancy sinatra
take
me
back
to
the
jungle
to
the
sea
take
me
where
I've
never
been

let's
pretend
our
bed
is
a
snow
cave
or
a
treehouse
or
a
makeshift
raft

down
by

seems
to
me

he's
a
father
he
tucks
them
in
and
kisses
their
heads
so
they'll
remember

he'd
handed
to
me
the
gift
of
him
the
sex
in
his
voice
his
breath

she
asked
me
when
we
were
going
to
die
I
felt
so
close
to
her
then

yourself
at

left
that
feel
with
her
it
wasn't
my
feel
to
feel
anymore

the
poems
saved
me
when
I
thought
I
couldn't
go
on
they
pulled
me
back
in
