just when i think im over
you reappear
a name linked to you
a sound reminisicint
of what u do rings in
my ear translates
directs the feeling to the pit
of me
my chest constricts
and i
find it hard to
inhale
hard to ex
hard to
breathe
slowly
paper bags to mouth
pushing out what remains
i think too much that's
what you used to say
but i can't stop
thinking about
u long enough
to regain my composure
re-gain my posture
inhale deep enough
to breathe
like i should be able to
with
or
with-out
you.
i scat my thoughts into
a rhythm my heart can follow
try to jumpstart myself
so i can catch a beat
catch a breath
again.

*once in a lifetime/one*
i found him
skimming through my memories
picking out the best of me
saving the rest for a rainy day
he's got his tongue on the pulse of me
tasting every part of me
good 2 the last drop
we rock till the sun locks
us into the daily way
he's always got my smile in mind
we spend the most amazing times
locked into the midsts of we
times is nothing
when lips are running
when souls connect
& we find ourselves
not he & she but
one
nvr wanting to leave
nvr having 2 leave
but we do
just 2 go
out &
find each other
to share each other
again

transition
it's so easy to
find my self turning to
me
get mad at me for not answering
but im absorbed
in me
So far n2 me
i can't hear you
i cant feel you
caring
reaching
im retreating
into me
it's that time again.
not running away
but
necessary
time for me
i'll be back
renewed
time for transitions
again.

u & i
u and i overtime become we
lose sense of space and time
become need
lose sense of who we are
become speed
racing into the winds of words
we careless
we
unbecome u and i
become she
become he
become
lessons in time
reasons to rhyme
words in space
songs we taste
the bitter
the bile
the remembrance
lessons we learn
u & i
