POEMS FOR YOU AFTER YOU LEFT AND BEFORE

SICK SOUL

The sound of her footstep fill the room
as my joy of her presence

Seems too good to be true
And as she falls to the ground
Exhausted from hustling
I see nothing but her beauty
And when she slowly rises
And finds me there
We once again make love

to the music

God, it’s great to be back, how I have missed you, you would never know
those days when you were gone were hell And I ask you to answer me
True

Will you stay for good this time
And never let that darkness
descend.

You say yes.

My humming bird of prey
We make the sky
We fill the earth
Our story
A place in Heaven

CAMERA

She

&

Her

Naked in bed

HE bending over her, again and again, in time, the camera makes

sharp rains of flash

hitting her every time

She

smiling, twists in her bed

Naked for him

And

I can see them

From my window

You ask, I say they are far away

But I can just see them

From my apartment

There

where they love

FOR SOMEONE ELSE

Once again an empty space

Is not filled

It is left alone

I do not count my own presence

I do not force myself upon this place

But in fact

If you really had to know

I could not leave if I wanted to

But

I do not want to leave

At all

(if it mattered)

(Does it?)

Today

Do you want to leave

To her(e)?

But just stay

And wait

Where are you?
I give up.

I investigate your face

W/ my tongue

Trapping(?) it around you (the tongue)

Like a lasso

And just like little girls

You say

I lóve you

The only r/season I lived

On that day I was born
Someones child
Like you
I love you
