Love is many things but it is also an agreement where both parties state their needs, their expectations, their limits. Both must be honest with each other and themselves, and go in with eyes wide open. Things must be talked out loud, and not assumed. Hurts must not be allowed to fester and anything that bothers or upsets you must be brought out to the light even if it is difficult. Communication must always remain open and vibrant for change is inevitable and these conversations must be had constantly. If there comes a time you cannot come to an understanding then please part before bitterness and hurt take over and obliterate every good memory from both of your hearts. Love is an agreement, a pact, a promise, something that must be held in reverence and honored by those involved.

Take me home, will you, for I've been out here lost, more than I wanted, longer than I anticipated, and lonelier than I imagined.

whispering

The white butterflies, those Heart-shaped sweets And my daughter - the one my body betrayed - her precious hands The moment's creatures, all Strands in my braid

I do remember dreams My hair does sometimes Cover my face, and yet Space can only follow time One way, not another So who am I to Keep looking behind

take a breath this is a safe place to slow down relax take things easy one by one so you can order everything arrange your thoughts chronologically imagine a time before the internet when the default was to disconnect and boredom wasn’t a bad word when you didn’t have to have an opinion you didn’t have to be home by a time you just had to know the position of the sun in the sky let the street lights come on in your mind it’s time to come home arrange your thoughts like your family at the dinner table take a breath and have a conversation //take a breath By: alec prado//

I’m nothing if not your problem

———

If you didn’t want to be worshipped

You shouldn’t have come when I prayed

You shouldn’t have appeared to me

In pink back light

Your face reflected like an omen

Like a sigh

Like a sign of better days to come

In a puddle of leaking dishwasher water

In the nightclub

If you didn’t want to see me on my knees

You should have chosen a form

Less appealing

To my every waking dream

Your hair shouldn’t curl my toes like that

Try to smile less like the sunlight on a spring morning

If it’s too much to bear

If I see too much in you

You probably should not have

Gone and existed like that

What a thing to do

TWILIGHT

Twilight casting its long shadows

Gangling twigs of dangling fingers

Craggy hairs scratching at windows

Scraggy spider weaving the lingers

Announcing the approach of darkness

The end of day parading its bleakness

Leggy tall stilts take a dusky walk

All are quiet, handcuffed in the gloom

Gawky branches in a windless balk

Twilight flickers to an impending doom

midwinter acacias drown inside me you say please bury yourself

in the snow

as poets salivate after [your] beauty on a leash with lines from gimmicky

postcolonial love poems

oblivious

to their firmaments

within:

delete my words all you [want] but you won't be able to decimate that

stinging temptation

that makes you pull

the strings of your dreamhouse abyss: you recoil because you crave control

absolute control

if someone comes

close

you retreat to your lavish hut: in your abode aching to be held by someone

telling yourself:

we all hide behind screens and touch ourselves when [we] push others away

lonely mirrors

after all

like stale gunpowder

passion is dour when you can't fathom your inside: rattles like the last sip from

salt water yearning:

i finish pages

but no one

bothers to read them: least of all you why do i recall your [gaze] at midnight

when the ceiling pastes

your voice onto

everything literally

everything

And...

I realized that he was not for me

And i let him go

I don't miss or want him anymore

And i don't have any more words for him

A cold change of heart

And become numb

There are moments of intense vulnerability, moments when the missing you is so intense it takes my breath away, moments when only being wrapped in your arms will make it ok.

Missing you hits me at odd times, when I least expect it to, when my mind wanders away, over the horizons in distance; with no means of control, I give in, to those feelings of emptiness, and let myself transcend continents, to be where you might be, perhaps sooner rather than later.

Throat, heart, brain Make no mistake - those Baby teeth of his They never stood a chance Against the porcelain of yours

Can you guess how a dream is born? I will bring you some flowers Of my happiest summer The dewy dawn and her treasure Lights like eyes - Sculpt yourself anew Leave doubts in hell

softness incarnate

——

Your thighs are a deep sigh of relief

Your hips reverberate through me

Like an orchestra

In a canyon

Like honey slick marble

Like quivering cliches

Your body is a loving home

At long last a triumphant slow dance

In the warm ocean

You make every hair on my body arch toward you

Like a flower to the sunlight

On your eyelashes

Like a desperate prayer

You will never see your eyes like I do

And what a gift

Like a crystal stream

In some mossy nowhere

Like your belly a bouquet of fresh cream

The peaks of a gasp

Like you don’t even know

How perfect

Your hands are

Folding like silk napkins

Your neck makes my teeth sink

Into thick velvet book covers

Old ones made of wedding cake icing

When you are pillowed feathers

Gently proving on the windowsill

Dripping from the heavens

And I can’t believe you’re there
