Love

grape gum

Love is sharing your last piece of grape gum
Giving it away,
Watching as it pops behind their lips.
Lovely lips,
Soft as sand dunes
And doubly precious,
Their feeling full, friendly, and familiar.
Even with the grapey smell
Breathtakingly beautiful
And altogether all you want
And need.
Who needs gum?
Well…

a traditional Chinese wedding vow

I want to be your love for ever and ever,
Without break or decay.
When the hills are all flat,
The rivers are all dry.
When it thunders in winter,
When it snows in summer
When heaven and earth mingle,
Not till then will I part from you.

i am a jerk sometimes

I feel this anger inside of me.

Anger I can’t hide

Don’t want

Can’t even try

To pretend I’m not.

wildfire love.

Before I’m off for good
and gone,
there’s more I’d like to say
of you
and how you laugh
with your entire body
face afire
with joy I recognize 
as if all else were pitch.
