had to convince her
he looked into her eyes, deep
he lied truthfully
trust me, my love is for keeps
then he rolled and fell asleep
Hippopotamus expectations
hippopotamus
expectations from her were
conceived right after
the whale of time he spent in
her company at the zoo
Letting it go
as she walked to
the end of the wooden boards,
the stars spoke to her
don’t follow your father’s steps
he regrets walking out on you
Memories
she dressed, then wept as
the music faded away
it was painful to
remember the night he left
her at the altar
The thirst
he drank the last drop
then plummeted into the sea
he was still thirsty
some thirsts are like that only
the more you get more you want
In the stars
it’s all in the stars
holding her gaze briefly from
across the room, he
knew – she was the one he had
been waiting for all his life
Dark desires
heavenly creatures
featured boldly in her dreams
demons stayed hidden
how she wished for a dark knight
to rescue her dark desires
Dilemmas
A blanket, soft and
warm, with the faintest hint of
her perfume; torn me –
the warmth makes me want to sleep
fragrance says not without her
A mirror image
a mirror image
of who he once was looks back
occasionally
he curses under his breath
what an emotional fool
