Uneven

Shiver,
Stop.
Why do you move away?
I move away too,
I won't justify.
But I want an explanation.
I slide
to one side
and sulk.
Give me your hand, why don't you?
I glare at your neck.
I'm a tempest.
What are you?
You are a shoe
encumbered by high heels
which can't stand up straight
I am your rocky ground
Shiver,
Fall,
Stop.

Entwine

I know we
are still trying to find
our little spaces
in the world
that keeps bearing down upon us
but maybe we could
find a bar
we both like
and settle for a while.
It's the promise
of an evening
right out of a book
where happily ever afters exist
so that when we grow old
we can tell ourselves
we were happy for a while
and smile.

Cage

Here, right now
I want my heart to talk.
My mind is too busy
calculating the outcomes;
it won't let anything get in the way.
Can the heart win?
