Some Short Poems

Pompeii

did not even spit

fire and ash

as quick

and deadly

as your unabashed
tongue. 

You don’t have to

Tell me if you think

This dress makes me look

Any less like a goddess. Because that suit

Makes you look fat.

To a Once Friend

Your chocolate eyes are too big

Like a dinosaurs,

A carnivorous rex,

And your ivory teeth are fanged,

Like a soulless bloodsuckers.

I know a month ago I told you

How fine

Your big eyes and bigger white smile made you look,

But that was before I learned 

I was prey.

F & U

Tell me again three words

Give me that I and L and a you

and I will only give you back two.

They Say

There will never be enough words
To tell you

Im Sorry

But I think a lifetime of talking

Me and you

You and me

Should be enough.

Actions Speak Louder

So much is said by

How you leave

and don’t wash off

That growing milk puddle

Left by your cup.

Redone

The snow repaints everything it touches,

Whitens it like Crest,

But makes no distinctions,

Covers the dark and the colorful.

Summer Storm

The angry sky

Strikes everything down,

Rains wet bullets

Faster than a machine gun.

Kamikaze

A raindrop,

thick and full,

splatters

atop my skull.

Perspective

You say

The brown and green mixing

Together in your eyes looks like dog crap.

I say

I like your desert irises
Dotted with brisk oasis’ of palm tree green.
