See Me

Look at me
and see all my flaws
my dark spots and wrinkles
moles and skin tags

Look at me
and notice my character 
my fear of flying
my inability to speak up
tip toeing around
trying not to confront

Look at me
and still say 
you love me.

Taboo

Taboo

I can't keep my eyes off
Your rosy peach complexion
Just hanging in the warm 
Haitian breeze...
So close but firmly shut.

Guarded by your spiky skin
As if to say wait for you to ripen 
under the hot August sun.

To see you smile with 
black pearls exposed,
To see you smile
Open and ready 
to be plucked...

I want you if only to die
by your poisonous embrace.
Just to taste the nutty flavor
on my tongue. Oh, eight weeks 
will be too long.
