There You Were
Heart stop
Trembling hands
An unexpected sighting that leads to affirmation
If only the uncomfortable wasn’t so
But alas
This is still better than before

South of the Border
A Tequila breath kiss
Grazing fingertips
A moment forgotten
I left myself there

Rejected
I stand rejected yet again My hope defeated by a pass Why does confidence betray me? It scoffs behind my back As no’s resound ~ AB
Ringing In My Ear
Your voice was a mere ringing in my ear; continuous noise without form or nuance. Your thoughts were an articulation best left in obscurity. At first, the buzz was a bother, a source of isolating turmoil. But, I have since swat it away; replacing the sound with my own voice- my own truth. I can finally hear clearly again. ~ AB
Goodbye My Heart’s Shadow
A constant of inconsistency you had become my heart’s shadow, appearing only when the hum of loneliness beckoned. But, see, I don’t mind the murmur- it’s brought more comfort than your false touch, or the implications that come with. I am finally ready to be rid of it all. Tonight I say goodbye with the knowledge your fleeting affection is not a safe net to fall upon; I am better off without it. ~ AB
Romanticizing Us
I’ve yet to let you go Foolishly Maybe I’ve romanticized us To the point of holding on So tightly I’ve gone numb to anyone else The idea stuck in my head we’ll still end up together in the end ~ AB
Snowflake On My Tongue
I try to catch you Like a snowflake on my tongue But it melts before I realize I’ve succeeded So I keep trying To the point of frostbite ~ AB
My Favorite Gift
Your eyes twinkle - like the soft glow of warm white lights, entwined throughout the garland. You laugh- like tiny marshmallows bouncing around in a mug of hot cocoa. You make my heart feel like it’s sledding down my favorite snowy hill. You make everyday feel like Christmas morning.
Yes, waking up to you by my side is like discovering Santa has come; with cookies half eaten and a loving handwritten note. But a kiss from you is far better than any present under the tree. I would take your embrace over a surprise in my stocking; your voice over any holiday tune. You were all of my wish list- My favorite gift is you. ~ AB
Mistletoe & Egg Nog
I don’t need mistletoe as an excuse to kiss you, but it sure would help. That, or some strong egg nog. ~ AB
12 Days Before (My Christmas Wish)
12 days before Christmas While asleep in my bed Visions I wish of romance Spin ‘round in my head
Strolls down candy cane lane A mittened hand in mine Stolen mistletoe kisses Sipping mulled seasonal wine
Sharing fleece blankets A snowy sleigh ride Taking in all the lights Cuddling by fireside
A skate round the rink With no fear I’d fall Win in a fight With a mere snowball
Singing Christmas carols Spreading Holiday cheer Building ginger bread houses Sipping Bright White Bells beer
Watching Holiday films Snuggling real close Constructing a snowman With the best button nose
An exchanging of gifts An exchanging of hearts Unwrapping more than just presents With this my mind parts
Yes, 12 days remain But no true love gave me Maybe Christmas next year My wish will come to be ~ AB
Tap
(I’ve Never Been So Attracted...)
I watch his hands fondle the glass He taps it as if he’s counting ice cubes My focus has become a glaze I don’t think I have ever been so attracted to a man’s hands
Tap His pointer finger to his pinkie Tap I know what each finger can do Tap Outside Tap And in Tap I blush even looking at them Tap
Yeah, I have never been so attracted to a man’s hands ~ AB
Something Comes
The source of sighs The truth in lies Hearts beating as drums Answers unknown Fear is alone This way something comes ~ AB
Long Island Kisses
Sip me down like your Long Island Your lips are wasted on the rim My kiss is such a better buzz ~ AB
Tangled Hair
I feel arms wrap around me I look to see red leather and large hands It’s you- I can’t help but feel happy Contact with you charges me Like a dead phone revived You whisper nice sentiments in my ear Still I wonder, Do I ever mean more than you let on?
You let me go But my hair has tangled in your jacket It’s as tangled as we are in each other It grasps onto you Begging you to stay Ruining a moment Reeling you back in Lest I rip it out To release me Breaking my ends Breaking my heart Like a jerking reminder You’re not actually mine ~ AB
The Scar Between My Brows
We all have scars Some you can see Others you cannot It can be from something as trivial as stapling your thumb Or from being the most reckless version of yourself Falling Literally and figuratively —
You have scared me in both ways but specifically the space between my brows Karma for poor decisions made with you Some I resent…others I do not Like the taboo warnings explorers ignore I looked at that scar and continued down the forbidden path Only to end up hurt Or at the very least, empty handed… without the treasure I was hoping to find ~ AB
Peeling Queen
I don’t even realize when I peel the label off of bottles anymore- “Peeling queen”, he jokes I laugh He would know From the good nights
I’d rather remember those with him
Snapshots of empty bottles labels peeled away Him teasing and a smile on my face ~ AB
Sore Thighs
As I kneel down I find my thighs are sore like a mischievous wink I think of you. ~ AB
