Flower | Flame

flower or flame
blossom or burn

life and light
baby

both are you

Breeze

is that the breeze that blows

or the whiff of fragrance
from your hair

when you turned
and leff

Teardrop

i give you not my heart
a teardrop
saturated with heartache,
distrust, and
salt

if you should dry it
with the warmth of your love -
if it should evaporate -

there will be left behind
a single grain of salt

the singular crystal
of my love

Because

(to No-Name Doggie)

You are beautiful
You are adorable
I think I love you -
That’s why you have to go

You don’t belong to me
You belong to someone else
That’s why you have to go -
Before I fall more in love with you

When I let you go
You mustn’t ever come back
Before I fall more in love with you -
Why do you keep coming back?

If things were different
I will never let you go
Why do you keep coming back –
I don’t want to get more attached

I think I love you -
That’s why you have to go
Before I fall more in love with you -
Why do you keep coming back?
I don’t want to get more attached
