SOLILOQUY
Did I find you
Or simply thought that I did?
Our impassioned craze
Was it love or was it chemistry?
Numb we were, shorn to the feel
Of pain, of past, and scars of melted wounds
*
Because we found something,
Or rather, because we thought we did,
When we closed our eyes, exchanging vows
At the boulevards of Buenos Aires
*
Was it our mind’s musings
When we saw us hand-in-hand
On the streets of Montreal
With kids bearing weird names
Till we were rudely woken
By the clouts of a brute reality
*
Where there was chemistry,
I found pain, just as I found you
Where there was a scar,
I found two more, just as I found you
*
Yet I wear a painted smile
Because we found something
Even if it lasted for a second
And you found me too
Though it was ephemeral,
I know for sure, that I once found you.

January 20, 06:54awesome poetry
didn’t read it though
I have always had a poetrophobia since jss3
when they brought this smashing dude to teach literature
with nice white teeth and lips like a Greek god
I could almost always trace the outline of his tighty whiteys
I must have raped him a million ways in a million places at least in my mind
it went without saying
I never understood a word in class
always staring with my mouth agape
he noticed me once
and when I couldn’t answer with the
name of the poem we were supposed to be treating
he barred me from classes ad infinitum
I rebelled against the arts that took my first crush from me
well, maybe not my first
but a crush nevertheless
