hurt: A Poem

 sometimes I love you so much it hurts
 like
 my heart tightens and hurts in the way
 ripping a scab off new skin feels good
 but even though it only hurts sometimes
 I love you always
 scrapes and all

on marriage and god: A Poem

 it used to make me sad:
 wondering if we’d be married in heaven
 wondering if our love could be so special
 that it would be allowed to last forever
 and at the time I would often wonder
 will I even go to heaven?
 how presumptuous of me
 what if you go there
 and I cannot follow?
 and now there are some days
 I wonder if I even believe in god at all
 but I always believe in you
 and I guess you’re a good enough answer
 to every question

Erotic: A Poem

I can taste your skin
just by looking at you.
The texture is flat
and smooth
against my tongue.
Your lips on my skin
pull the string
below my bellybutton
tighter.
Your breath invades me 
and everything is hot. 
Drink me in
and let me drown.

Do You?: A Poem

Do you feel the way I feel
when I look at you?
Do you feel your heart beat harder?
Do you feel your fists perspire?
I love you the way trees love the sun:
I exist in your light.
