He was
Like that tulip he gave me
Once, for my birthday
Not beautiful, or

You are air.....
I cannot put my arms around you
Rushing wind
Subtle breeze
Breath upon my cheek
You are not there
...
When the last word has been spoken
And the door has firmly shut
There is nothing left to say
You cannot tell the sun
...
Holding my breath
At the bottom of the sea
Where I keep my secrets
In a treasure chest.
...
The sun takes her throne
And for a few precious hours
I am transported
To the distant realm of

The sound of your absence
Echoes through my mind
Like the steps of a ghost
Long gone,
...
Past midnight…my eyes refuse to shut
The night is filled with your ghost
Hungry for my thoughts
Its voice echoes

A month ago – or so
I didn’t know you
From a penny in a jar
Then – I kissed you
...
A distant darting bumble bee
Buzzed about Tio's mango tree
I asked it.....
Is the mango sweet?
