in the beginning





tongue kisses
laced
with eroticism 
eyes never did lie
we became tangled
like conversations chased
with please and maybe
and then

smooth like melted caramel and chocolate 
hazelnut
something Krispy and sweet
butheavy like the hand that feeds
trying to decide what is it that
we really need
so seductive yet
silent like a cool breeze

we become contradictions
spaces and apostrophes
hyphenated and closed caption
imaginations
allow room for misconceptions
what we have 
this is clear 
with intention
and perfect interpretation

some...time by ahsek novel





it took some time
but
I came down
high off ego
and anticipation
elated
I found my smile again
my heart beats again
I always
remember him
but does the pieces
to this puzzle fit
does it make sense
to anyone else
I came down
floating on emotion
feeling brand new
recognizing beauty
in all things
I sing songs again
painting stilllife and abstract again
I began to taste again
my numbness dissolved
and I remembered
myself
I came down
standing tall and firm
speaking loud and clear
words spoken
like a true artist

word
I’m ready for you

I'm ready for whatever
and I believe again

it becomes easy





He remembered to call
Yet
I forgot to answer
Damn
I feel twisted
Tight and tangled like a barbed wire fence
Stable and sound
Not with any intent
To cut and scrape
But I do
Nothing but bags full
Of bandages and gauze so readily available
As if
I planned it all from the beginning
Something like that crazy bitch from Gone Girl
And so very different
So now what
I resume from the part where I paused
My life just because I can and I do
I move in and out of time
Blocking punches and curving emotional attachment
They say...it becomes easy
Running away
Staying is hard but leaving is not an option
It’s like I want to smoke a cigarette but I don’t smoke
I know it’s not healthy but what is
We guard ourselves from imaginary threats
And so blindly fall into pits of snakes
Now I’m rambling
But I’m always poetic
Maybe one day I’ll call back
And he’ll remember why he wanted me
We’ll act as if nothing ever happened between us
And that too will be okay and furthest from the truth

looking for love dot dot dot...






he says i'm looking for love
i said i'm not
i know that looking for love is like looking for a ticking time bomb
and 
once you finally find it
it can explode and hurt really bad or you could detonate it just in time and have an amazing expereience
so
as it relates to him
i found something that i wasn't looking for
and i'm unexpectedly happy for the moments
the phone calls and texts
the smiles and winks
side eyes and shit talking
the relativity and the retrospective
his brown eyes
his vanilla skin
his soft lips
and his perfect touch
his maturity and his humility
the ultimate connectivity
so
time travels fast and in a parallel world
we are supreme
we are husband and wife
still
i'm not looking for love
here
we're just us
and that's just enough
