Relationships Matching Contest - 2 - Janaury 2015 • Millikin University

Taco Bell and a movie
        our first date

the warm glow of a candle
she sets the table . . .
he doesn’t show

her tattoo playing peekaboo
on the rim
of those levis

a flash of a smile
my heart
s k i p s  a beat

arrow up

curled up crying
a wet nose and wagging tale
brings comfort

tears of loneliness
I can no longer see
do. you. know. me?

nothing misplaced
a kiss is
stolen

as we kiss
i taste
his lies

BOTTOM half champion

leaving her house for the night
“ill meet you
            in my dream”

my acrylics
        slide down
                his spine

raincoat in overstuffed chair
books jammed in closet
can't get enough of her

his touch
everlasting 
only for a moment

arrow up

wandering through the park . . .
holding hands
will you say yes?

a bond under leaves
carved deep
in the old oak

mysterious stranger
at the bus stop—
what's your story?

gold hair with a gentle curl
that’s the girl he choose
i'm not that girl
