A Language Affair
Do you write
pretty words
with a message
unchanged
Does intent
leave you vacant
the darkness
sustained
Do you ponder
and flirt
in a language
affair
Do you kiss
and then tell
without promise
or care
Do you vow
to do better
with love
on reprieve
Does your heart
leave you jilted
next breath
— to deceive
(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)
