LOVER’S LIFE PAST
TO STEAL HIM BACK AGAIN
making a lasting impression
on the object of your affection
salivating and drooling
over him
a minor imperfection
striking attributes
which stand to condone
shooting daggers at her
while turning her into stone
the time has come
for you to
roll up your sleeves
willing to believe
that you can actually
steal him back again
and then leave
his languid gait
and mesmerizing smile
melting your insides
as you decide
to stay for awhile
a playful game
of cat and mouse
is all that you seek
for you will
always remember
how she swept him
off his feet
all efforts will remain
dire and futile
until you figure out
a way for him to
unregrettably lose her
acknowledging the fact
that you will inevitably win
for you have committed
the most heinous of sins
quenching your thirst
for smooth flesh and skin
by stealing him back again
the way you did back then
PINK EYE
grinding your fists
into your eyes
trying to alleviate
a burning itch
which won’t subside
bleeding capillaries
and veins
turning the whites
of your eyes gray
sneezing into soft tissue
after having coughed
and heaved
another prevailing issue
too late to realize
that damage
has been done
a run-down body
ignoring the fact
that the time has come
administering
various creams
and eye drops
promising to
guarantee instant relief
an incorrect diagnosis
and an eyesore
hindering your ability
to see
a glimmer of light
and a degree
of finesse needed
to calm yourself down
for you have waited
seven days
for bleeding red
to plummet
and then drown
intently watching
your right eye
become clearer
rehashing
what it was
that has brought
you here
stress becoming
much worse
than it was before
a derogatory choice
of words
erasing every
