sparkled diamond
on her hand
wish I bought it . . .

Valentine's Day
shes always belongs
to someone else

sunset
sharing secrets
and a chocolate bar

chocolate . . .
assorted . . . mmm
Oh! Flowers too.

high school crush
I walk into a door frame
stuck in a gaze

my tuba boy
if only you knew
the way I blush

first Valentine's Day
alone in years
high school sweethearts

single red rose
laying alone
on the tombstone

liquor lovers
awake
un-attracted

lies on your lips
my favorite shade
of lipstick

trail of petals
Surprise!
valentine's day betrayal

a late night phone call
to her lover
a woman picks up

fingers brush across
my leg
curiosity killed the cat

salty waves engulf
and wash away
marks he left on me

our warm bodies
magnets
in a king-sized bed

warm breath
tantalizing my neck—
needs mouthwash

red rose
sparks nervous laughter
first date

first kiss
on the torn futon
menthol

old school
we kiss
under the stairs

dizzy from love
and vodka
you hold my hair back

at a restaurant
two love birds laugh
eating momos

soft snores
I sneak out . . .
to make breakfast

bundle of roses
left lane
of the highway

icy branches
reflect
her leaving tail lights

I wear my love
a tattoo
for all to see

in front
of his friends
he shows me off

I still see your face
when I’m with nobody
but the trees

passing your house
I try to stop
myself from looking over

Jimmy John's

fresh pizza
delivered
p.s. I love you

over bagels and chocolate milk
we meet up
for the first time in awhile

struggling to be
peanut butter
without my jelly
