 These letters

Torn

by 

Long red fingernails

Same

That tore my back

Chanel red lipstick left on 

Martini glasses and somewhere on me

Her pale blue eyes

Asked questions 

That I went in search of 

At 

the lighthouse

in

The streets 

Deep 

underground

Loved her then

love her now

her ghost moves in me 

even as I write

Haunts : to visit often 2)visit or inhabit as a ghost 2)to have a disquieting or harmful effect on


her ghost 


haunts me

 Requiem for my lovely friend-08.03.22

I know

One way

To love

One way to fight

To the death(mine)

It’s been a year

my last words to you

Screamed across

The car park

Love you!

 You answer

Smooches Love you

If I had known

I would never

See you again

I would just hold you as long as I could

Those arms always

Home (for this nomad)

Requiem especially in the Roman Catholic Church) a Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead.

A cruel thing you pretend

It’s the end

Friends’

Not

Lovers’

over

white horse running   beautiful

Stunning Chinese 

If I ride her

All this all fades

Crumbling into

Nothing

poppies’ bloom

From a secret sun

I need it to warm me

Waking to this chill

Ache: continuous or prolonged dull pain 2) distressed or disturbed

ache

Nothing is painless

Terrifying, sensual

 Virginity-04.03.22

The back of a car

Minutes after meeting

later

Learning your secret name 

Later 

Conversations

Later

Days with no place to go

Nothing to do 

You

quietly 

slowly

lovingly

embraced

the 

damaged

the

lost

the

angry

Virginity: the state of being naive, innocent, or inexperienced in a particular context 2) the state of never having had sexual intercourse.
