(you)
June 21, 2013
I am still here
waiting for you
I've built a house
of semi-colons,
because it doesn't stop here
and question marks,
because I want to hear
all of your stories
I've filled my house with quotes
Christina Rossetti
Sara Teasdale
Charles Bukowski
and you
lots and lots
of you
my darling, I've missed you
when you return
I have for you
a lovely pair of parentheses
to keep you safe
and out of harm's way

“She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river."
