Dumbbells that were too heavy in the end
Daughter’s note, unopened, still
Decaying tea-cake still on plate
Dickie tie you wore when we first met;
Dress-suit, diamond cufflinks, pens,
die-cast cars, an unknown key, a stick of gum …
Dear God, was there nothing that you threw?
What a great mystery,
please be intrigue,
and open your eyes to see
it's not the hat, dress, suit
it's always what's underneath.
You must wait til, I'm done slaying,
and stop displaying for you I'll come playing.
Sorry, no sneaks or peeks.
It's not the hat, dress, or suit
it's always what's underneath.
dress-suit occasioned, to the eye perception
toasts and canned laughter,in the name of making out
can i buy you a drink, the prologue of octopused slumber
seated on a cold stool, the troubles of joyful singles
till a shadow pinched me to the site of, a spring lit cheongsam dress
our eyes acquainted by virtue of fate, shaking our balls in a bouncy whirl
drifting to a locality fit for two
wishful inspired ross-colored magic, by dint of a love spell
muffling tunes, a language treasured by hearts unified
like poles oozing, drops of distinct formation
falling in love the chines way
Purple dress, suit with a purple-ish tie.
Dinner. Fast car. Awkwardness. Dance?
Yes. Am I supposed to kiss you now? Do
you want to kiss me? Yes. Kiss me. Ehh.
Again? Wow. These words and sentences
describe a night, a night too meaningful to
explain. In that one night I gained. I gained
a dance, a kiss, and a new song. I song I will
remember forever. A song that put me in heaven.
