Noemi Lee Poems

31 days ago,
a promise was made-
Write one poem a day
for 31 days.
...

You know, when I am around you, I am starkly aware that I don’t understand all of my feelings.
[or how to express my fearful thoughts]
I do not know how to explain this to you.
[and I am afraid that if I do, you will laugh at me- or worse- ignore me.]
...

My heart skips a beat
...

My eyes are closing
And my neck cant hold my head up
I glance over at the clock
11: 23
...

You know one person,
or you've known one person
who was jealous of you.
...

So you wonder-
what exactly does the
'pink'
do?
...

It tickles me
when you seem so
oblivious-
wondering exactly
...

The love you speak of
is mesmerizing.
You speak of acacias
and of the happy childhood
...

Apples, Oranges, Pears
Mangoes, Pina, Papaya
My kitchen is bounty full
of healthy eats.
...

You do not remember me.
And I realize it.
I do not know how it makes me feel.
...
