Wet leaves
stuck to the soles
of his feet,
left
watermarks
across her heart.
To Survive Another Day--The Only Way
You’re sleeping
while
I’m waking
and
I’m amazed,
that
butterflies
are too dazed
to lick your eyelids
When
the sound
of running
water
signifies
my teeth
being electrocuted
in the bathroom
I’m waking
while you’re sleeping,
and you’re dreaming
of oceans
swallowing
your fears
before
my tears
have learnt
the art
of
falling.
