He sent through a poem
Better than I could ever write
About smiles and kisses
Butterflies and wings
Peace and dreams
Flying me to lands of love
The words I hungered to hear
The words I ached to feel
And then I saw
The lines were old
They were written not
For me, they were presented
Second-hand

When your lover sends you a selfie. But gets it all wrong. And sends you a selfie of her instead. Unbuttoned.
Cutting the cords that bind
Cutting myself free
Cutting the magic moments
Our history
Nothing is left
The betrayal is too great
I love you
But it will never be
Waiting
For a payoff that will never happen
For the jackpot that will never strike
For the love that will never be felt
For the friendship to be whole
When it is, and was always
Splintered
A kinder option
Would simply be
To pluck my heart
Right out my chest
Dice with a knife
Leaving a pool of
Warm gushing red
It will hurt far less
Two of everything I would save
Birds and bees and snakes in trees
Bugs and lizards and chimpanzees
Bunnies and cats and kangaroos
Dogs and bats and fish in seas
Flowers and leaves and greenery
As proof of everything that we see
Out of dust
Beauty arises
Flashing color
Full of glamour
Rising sun
Watching moon
Tomorrow –
More dust.

tangerine rose in bloom
buzzing of working bees
a soft delicate petal
fragrance of the flower
iced tea with honey
hopeful and inspired
My bed is the only place I want to be
So I’ll put a pillow over my head
And be alone in my dark mood
If anyone is looking for me
I am playing dead
(And after that, I will roll up my sleeves and learn Angular2. Because I can.)
