Hyde


I woke up to the
heavy moans
to the lights red
as wine.

she took a deep breath
under my ear
guided my hands
to the price
and told me with her hazel eyes
Love, let me make you alright.

sure as hell
she wasn’t lying
she became the moment
and the moment was mine.

“Say my name”
and all I could say was a smile
dammit, I forgot it again
let’s just call you Hyde
for this little while.

How we do with our eyes closed


the familiar jazz
of lips, and hands
held tight. we sway
through this theme as
the stolen light
of this night.

falling apart like
sky, do not apologize
for change, you are
nature without
curtains.

in the face of naked
you hide your pieces
but your truth is
softer when we
winter.

like every line we
color, we can hear
each other’s song

and hold, the way
fingers grip a match
till it gasps into the dark
and they can hold the
flame

no long.

Dancing with the devil


she was once in love
with the devil, dancing
with him in the pale moonlight.

i saw her lips
pressed against her knees
as the moonlight reflected
off her, searching for
an escape in her
distant gaze.

she shone like a raw diamond
through her cracks.

her eyes carried the stars
and gentle scars,
a chaos of dreams,
hopes, and her past.

lust was reduced to the
melting wax, as
slowly, but surely,
she became soulmates with
the lies.

she was once in love,
she said.

she shouldn’t have lied
to herself.

Ours


We spent
so much time
chasing
the blinding lights

trying to live those
shiny dreams

trying to understand
and find love

through the shadows exposed
on the streets

through the strangers dancing
to our beats

in between
unknown bed sheets

that we let each other
slip through the
only moment
that was truly ours

somewhere in between
running from the past
and hoping
for a future together
in a way
that is

Ours.

If I die tomorrow


If I die tomorrow
would you
miss me?

Would you miss
the dance of my naked footsteps
on the cold wooden floor

Would you miss
my voice
in your ears

Would you miss
getting lost
in my coffee pool eyes

Would you miss
my laugh
echoing through your heart

Will you miss
the way
the rise
and
the fall
of my chest quickens
when you’re near

Will you miss
how I tug
at your heart strings
with such ease

or how easily
you tug
at mine

Would you miss
the taste of spices
on my skin
from turning my empty house
into a home
whenever I cooked
for you

Would you miss
my Ying
to your Yang

Will there be
an empty space
in your heart
from all the times
I rested
my ear against you
to listen
to the song
that
your heart sings

Will there be
an empty space
in your heart

your heart

where you keep
a special place
for me

and

what about your mind?

Will it be
the same
when I’m gone

or

Will you always
remember the nights
we spent
talking about
our true selves
and
how we’ll
take over the
world
and
dreamed about
having skinny feet
together

Will you remember

That
your eyes
are
my favorite color

That
your “hello”
is
my favorite sound

That
your warmth
is
my favorite feeling

Will you miss
me
the way
I already miss you?
