The smell of rain
Precedes you
To own my persuasion
Would be to shelter defeat
I cannot abide you
Knowing the pulse
That stirs your heart
Pauses for no one
*
Password protected,
My smile, undulates
Every time you enter
The room
Please don’t perceive me
Haunting you
Leave me
To these
Illicit impressions
My lips against
Your possibility
Repressing
Fate
*
You
Always impoverish
My advance
Without you
I lose the will
To surface
Each morning
*
My avoidant frown
Sickles
Amputates conversation
I won’t let you in
And as long as the sun
Goes on rising
I’ll carry you
Bittersweet
On tip of my tongue
Irretrievable
But never
Lost
