Cherry bomb

Cool cherries

Juicy and plump

Luscious flesh

Bursting and gushing

Sweet pink juice

Down my lips

And fingers

Heart Throbs

Feeling abysmally lonely.

Although lovers are easily enough available,

I feel compelled to blow them

off and leave them longing,

While my heart throbs for something more substantial, someone to please who pleases me too.  

Blue

I cried on my yoga mat this morning

Mourning

All the love I've lost

My family

My home

Lovers

Friends

Bridges I've burned

People I've hurt

Those who hurt me

And I realize

Slowly

As if under water

My thinking is swimming

In a vast ocean of blue

That you

Reflect what I can't see

A mirror image 

Of all that is missing in me
