“

Wants and regrets in the time of Corona.

“

Thank you.

“

I remember how thankful I was that you were no longer the one I was writing poetry for.

“

If you told me this was a once in a lifetime sunset I’d believe you, but it happens every night.

“

You are still breathing, and your heart is still beating.

“

Ever falling into the present
the pull of the unknown
drags the heart to dis-ease
holding steady in the wait

“

I wanted to write you a page full of verses. I wanted to show you the alliteration of our souls and how since I’ve loved you I feel like I’ve met myself.

“

So hold me hostage
somewhere
that makes me appreciate my own pulse.
