B-locked

We lock things
to keep them safe

We lock them
as plan B

because at that time
we feel unsafe
around them

I chewed

The sound of your thoughts
crunch through my brain
every time
I chew
through
your
lies

I Gained Weight

I gained weight
my shoulde(r)s slouch(e)d
at the burden
I am carrying
that'(s) increasing
with my age
as time piles
my waist ex(p)ands
fertility is just an adjective
with(o)ut a part(n)er
sen(sib)ly carry(i)ng
(li)fe's weigh(t)

Lead Pencils and White Papers

Putting pen to paper
slowly
                              serenades my nerves
and carefully
                              caresses my insecurities
to make me mindfully
                              and mindlessly
fall
for
every dent
the words put
in my chapter

Electrocardiography

It's the kind of heartbeat
that pushes you forward

He Glows While I'm A Fire Sign

For what's a glow but a holy light?

--

There was a little dash once
that lead me from here - here…
sometimes it showed me time
and how long and short it can be
from Christmas – my birthday or
from Thursday – Friday
and other times,
when I dot my i’s cross my t’s
this little dash adds a little extra..
from – to +
