poetry – The Gap

Haiku for Spring

Yes, I cried today

The sun hasn’t felt this warm since

I was last in love

The “hands off” sign has made you more exotic and my

loneliness has only sparked my

craving to be touched

And I’ve just been blind all along

Fatally distracted and chased by boys sparkling with

effervescent toxicity

like poison to an open wound or a sirens call

You are an ocean

Recklessly crashing into rocky coasts

wild waves keeping me on my toes

powerful currents inevitably pulling me

out to you

If love were always fine and clear,

I’d give it all to have you near

For every flower, twirl and kiss,

I’d have your there upon my lips

For every body you’ve caressed,

My love for you I would confess

If loving you were not so free,

I’d give you all to be with me.

You’ve been sleeping in my head

Taking up a corner of my brain

Always there, lingering

Pulling at my thoughts

Occasionally you wander into my

Dreams and we float

Together, falling

I wake up believing

It were real, still falling

That with hope a fragment

Of me sits in a corner of

Your brain,

Taking up space and pulling at your thoughts
