I had
many a times...

The summer air
The midnight sky...

He traced the veins
that patterned my hand...

All her life
on her honor...

If you were the flower of a garden
You would be the sadness and joy of my heart...

Splish splash
Tip tap...

Bombs over Iraq
Blasts on the roof...

Liquor
Strong on my breath...

Early spring
Just before summer...

I dreamt of a love I can not have
Of his kiss that did steal my heart...

I'm tired
I'm drowning...

A pinch of anxiety
A dash of despair...
