something sweet

i stay up all night watching you sleep. i dream

awake. tiny wrists, tiny feet. a trick or a treat

yrself with something sweet. 

i sit up all night smelling you breathe. listening

to the new music of each heartbeat. beat me

up with your love. i end. i pretend to be tough

but i’m really just made of flowery stuff. 

potpourri. a kitty purring. i’m just a puppy

for your love feels like hate today

will be a good day. 

pray for rain. it’ll make our wedding

more cinematic. so dramatic. 

our lives are like movies; i’ll bring

the popcorn. you supply the candy.

we’ll drink red wine mixed with coke. 

i’d laugh but it’s no joke.

you lean back in bed while i smoke

to stay awake, watching you dream,

drinking coffee. cut, copy, paste. 

i like the way you taste.
