and it is as simple as this:

i loved him first.
i loved
him first

but i loved you more.

when we met he smelled
like tobacco and vanilla
and he looked like trouble

maybe he was a little
rough and tumble and liked
to fight bare-knuckled

but he kickstarted my
heart right into
overdrive

i tear at my hair as if
thoughts of you

are connected to the roots and god
******, i want you out

i wanted you to
get the **** out

but you wanted your way
and you were going
to have it if that meant

ripped clothes and
tattered innocence

you twist my guts over
wring them in between
your hands like wet laundry
spinning them with joy
and dread

i miss your steel guitar and your star crossed heart
but i can never look at you the same again.
As if we were peregrines,
we played like Ancients, lover

Cadence and rhythm pattern like sheet music on a sine wave.
Music rhymes as my fingers stretched to walk your drum.

We were interrupted, caught and held
In the hands of masters and teachers
Still I reached for you, only to find a kata, then a lay.

Searched the whole way home. Negotiating and maneuvering the quantum spaces of my soul for more you.

Think I maybe dying all the time
They say using building
blocks of creation to
dream with you?
Inherent and obvious danger
In that darling

Pray a little simple
prayer for all of us.
Sacred
You must
We must
wait a while
language doesn't exist
Working on it.
Bards are here
We will babysit while...
They treat with Sultans of Song

The chemist,  chirugeon,
the watcher, the statesman
on the Bubbahub
Zee's the lynch pin

He's holding it down,
With a little buckdance
He knows what I mean
Different language

Cadence, ritmo
Seven sicilian sailors
Sailing the seven seas
Storm is passing

Sun tells moon,
"Endless, we are,
perpetually glowing
forever together
glistening brightly
star-crossed loves."

"Loves star-crossed
brightly glistening
together forever
glowing perpetually,
endless, we are."

This is my first, Palindrome or mirror poem. It's kinda tricky to get, so that's why the wording is a little strange.

I
loved once
forever ago, now
there's only myself and
memories.

Here's a chinquain for you.

I thought when you left you only took my
heart
but I soon realized you took much more than that
because tears won't come
neither will screams
sleep is a thing I can never achieve
and I'd rather feel pain then this
nothingness
because when you left
my spirit went with you
but my empty shell stayed right here.
