to the adventure

let’s meet
this day
this time

let’s go away
you and i
be one
be together

thank you for poetry
i can write what i can never say

to the unspoken

i want you
this much

thank you. a colossal gratitude

to the bachata

when
the music starts

the light fades
melting the faces

i see
only you

when
the music started

the floor
was yours

the light faded
melting the people away

i see
only you

thank you for blowing my breath away
i’ll pick up my jaw from down there

to the always

i will
give up
being human

ants
always busy
always buzzing
yet
always greeting
always kissing

i wish
you and i
were ants

to your day

in
infinite frames per second
with
the littlest of details my mind could remember

i capture
mindless hugs
shortest smacks
and fleeting glances

and
play them over
and over

the desiring mind
captures better
than high-def

to the insignificance

maybe not now
i’ll wait
in line
even if
it’s lives
after lives
from now

thank you for the possibility
even though my chance
is a dot in the galaxy

to the difference

i

i think
i’ll stay here
stay this way

reality bites
leaves me numbed

thank you for this other world

to the sea

there are
many flavors
of ice cream
they say
try each one

i don’t want
ice cream. scooped.
i want you

thank you for the choices. i’d pick you.

to the lines

overflowing
i thought i’d
run out

maybe
not

overflowing
i think i’ve
so much

i could care less
if nothing comes
back

thank you for making it flow

to the delight

when i see you
i hear

“you’re truly scrumptious
you’re truly truly scrumptious
scrumptious as a cherry peach farfait”

- the potts

thank you for being so delicious
