Poem: Photo Album

Flipping through a photo album,

I watch myself flying through ages

As I flick through its glossy pages.

Sometimes your face passes me by,

Only to stay behind as a buried memory

On that wobbly paper, beside an old me.

This new me turns away from the glint

As lamp light catches your photographed eye.

My hand closes the book, as if to say goodbye.

Poem: Chime

The chime above the door sings

As you come gliding through,

Bringing along the velvet breeze

Of the autumn winds outside.

Your hands cradle your cheeks

As your arms rest on the counter,

And your coffee breath wafts

To me like a whispered secret.

The chime above the door sings

As you float away through it,

My heartbeat carried on the wind

To you like a whispered secret.

Poem: Quiet

A Haiku

The ceiling fan sings

As if it means to shield you

From your own silence

Poem: Pink Lemonade

You poured out your pink lemonade

and placed the glass inside the sink,

where the faucet rained down on it

and washed the memory away

of puckered lips and the sour kiss

between you and that cold bottle.

Poem: Solo

She danced around the room,

looking people in the eyes

as she twirled past them,

never meeting the same gaze

twice. In the flashing lights,

spinning late into the night,

she was untouchable,

her tears dripping like sweat,

catching light like diamonds,

slipping, unseen, to the ground

as she kept gliding forward,

spinning late into the night.
