The pain of breaking in new shoes
before they fit like gloves
The exhilarating new love we feel
Make love till it hurts
Rain and blue sky
both beautiful
Pain and pleasure
blurry is the line

Between Them
He still sends her presents
helps her to pay bills
cares about her from a distance
She keeps those gifts
pays her bills with his money
thinks about him sometimes
Giving is a blessing
Receiving validates his existence
Date Night
Let’s go to Luna Park at night
When exhausted children heading home with big smiles
You and I go for rides in empty carts
We warm up with Ferris Wheel slowly climbs into the sky
watching twinkling lights
Bring back teenager romance on the Tango Train
Our breaths and bodies pulled in one by physics
Loosen ourselves on the Boomerang Rollercoaster
Momentarily break off restraint like horizontal yoyos
Before Mr Whippy’s iconic ice cream treat
Catch the thrill of the Hair Raiser
We get temporary hairdos
Mistaken our stomachs for hearts
I had a wonderful night darling
You made me smile and shine
We kissed under the lights
falling once again in each other’s eyes
Unapologetic
Under my tongue
lie unformed words
like a cluster of emotions
unspoken
hidden in the silence
you so despise
Being
me
is not enough
You demand reasons
for the way I am
Apology is not
a peace offering
that pleases you
I offer us peace
by biting my tongue
to set us free
Pas Ce Soir
Friday night
the city becomes alive
She touches up her red lips
just in time for the stranger’s arrival
The conversation between them are smooth
gliding over her Persian blue silk blouse
and his flattering compliment
His fingertips casually strike out thermal waves
with each intentional brush of her arm
It’s getting beyond cosy warm there
and his scent smells late night passion
He moves closer and whispers desire in her ear
Confronted by his tempting invitation
she pinches herself hard
leaving a mark on her inner thigh
where wild nights used to overstay
and never had the courtesy to pay her with respect
She remembers all that devastating aftermath
So she leans over and whispers to him
“Pas Ce Soir”
My Best Is Poisonous
love boils down to ordinary minutes and hours it is hard to escape from the mundane of food, sleep and bathroom trips it makes it harder to please you when my cooking always falls short of your mother's the only thing I manage better is baking cakes which turns out to be a slow murder to the diabetic you
Purple Dream
I remember watching you disappeared into the sea of jacaranda last Spring.
You took the ending chapter of our story with you and left me with the blank pages.
Last night, I dreamed of reading by the jacaranda tree. Purple hearts filled the empty pages overflowing like confetti.
In the morning I reached out for the remnant of you. But the Autumn air was cold enough to frost my purple dream.
Our Eyes Meet Again
I search your hollows
For the remnant of me
There's no trace of any fire ever lit
Did your sorrow rain over our love
Or did I take your soul with me
Rain
I see you are still hung up on him
You shed tears on a flooded ground
He is not going with anyone else
He just can't grow old with you
I hate seeing you both drown
Flowers die in endless rain
Shaky ground ends in landslide
Don't let your broken heart filter out the sun
Let the rain be the romantic past
Safekeep for your fated one
Behind Closed Doors
Say all the words
you need
to keep us tied
Silence is
a pair of
scissors
Tangle me
with your love
to keep
the door
ajar
Hatred is
a knot
blackens
the light
Flicker of Thoughts
