slurp

unpeeling your skin
would bring me
a particular pleasure
a lust-filled joy
culminating in slurp.

other men think you are a lucky man

other men think
you are a lucky man

but -

I have tasted your skin
my fingers dancing on fire
and known no darker magic

yet -
on

blinded

I didn't see the precipice
when you opened your mouth
the first time you spoke my name

this distance between us

82 days
some 112,860 minutes
people have travelled
the world in less time
than we are taking to
travel this distance
between us
on

sorrow vs. grief

Sorrow stabs
and flees
Grief settles
and stays
on

name game

I speak your name now
no longer sacred

once held tenderly
in my mouth

now casually
spat out
on

you can't grapple with grief

you can't grapple
with grief

lie there quietly
let the grief sit

let it set slowly
let it settle

like cement
lining your bones

I quit

loving you is
not my job -
I've resigned
on

lost

now that I no longer need you
I don't know what to do
with all this time
on

checkpoints of return

contemplating checkpoints of return
each time you come back
I give you less
of me

beautiful mistake

you are my
most beautiful
mistake;

you left
exquisitely bitter
aftertastes.
on

too late now

if I had known
I wouldn't have fanned
those flames
on

obsessed

even your
one imperfection
a tender place I cherish
on

selflessness - II

you were the only one
whose pain I could not bear,
couldn't look at without burning
I wanted you to want for nothing
your happiness was
everything
on

selflessness - I

my selflessness is selfish
I hope I've ruined you
for anyone else
