The Pause

Noisy Space

Where Do I Begin

Years

The Sea and You

A Long Poem

Puppy Love

Phone Problems

When You Found Her

Untitled.

Maybe

So I told you about him

And how he made me feel

Enchanted

And I told you

How enchanting it was

To be wanted

But under that tree

Where books and battles

Were littered around us

I paused to tell myself

Maybe

This here

Is what I needed

The Problem with Me

It is not what you said

But how it made me feel

That alarms me

Not your words

But what they may mean

That bothers me

I wish I believed in impossibility

Lines would just be statements

And words just words.

But I am a poet

And impossibility

Is never part of my vocabulary
