Our love is the strongest.
And it has forced us into this undying relationship.
The disease that ravaged the country
Somehow, it brought us closer. ~excerpt from poem

A foreign land that I was unfamiliar with,
Full of green lush and the smell of diesel.
Trucks driving swiftly carrying bundles of plantains
Nothing was the same. ~excerpt from poem

of someone in the next room.
He would know. ~excerpt from poem

About this day.
I may not recall specifics,
What exactly happened when~ excerpt from poem

My sandals stomp slowly up the temple stairs.
One foot after the other I walk almost unaware
of the many faces above me carved in stone.
Each one unique and could stand on its own. ~excerpt from poem

And left you

In your thoughts
And in your dreams?
Would I help you to be brave? ~excerpt from poem

That I should sit alone tonight.
The rain comes down
While melodic sounds
Creep inside to meet me. ~excerpt from poem

The fringes of the velvet petals brush up against the timeless bone-white bark. Her slender hand trembles, naked as it is without the gleaming ring she had dreamt of so often. There were two roses. One stark and wilting with its fleeting beauty, covering up the gaping scar. It was left at the graveside. ~excerpt from poem

Let the light in
so that when I finally
see you,
love will be
lust will be
fate. ~excerpt from poem
Down East Maine, Gibb David
Down East Maine, Gibb David
The Tuxedo Archives
It began with the long, silent drive past endless
lobster pounds and fishing towns that litter
the landscape of Down East Maine like seagulls
swarming a freshly pulled pot, like canvas tents
on the small island that was my summer home. ~excerpt from poem

was not so lost
It’d be easier to make decisions;
Like why is a raven like a writing desk? ~excerpt from poem

Because I'm a nice person
It's what I do,
but you,
look at this as boring
or unrewarding
and turn your back faster
than I can think to be forward. ~excerpt from poem

My enemy is my only friend, a chess game played on Sunday.
Mates having breakfast at Tom’s Diner, wondering whose picking up the check.
What happens when I start thinking; I end up going the wrong way.
I think he knows my next move; we stroll down State Street. ~excerpt from poem

It was easy wasn’t it?
Being young and free.
Nothing could hold you back.
The world was yours to own. To conquer. ~excerpt from poem

It is pulsing, beating breathing.
Every inch, every motion
May be the last. ~excerpt from poem

You're just too good to be true, a new soul in a winter's tale.
I watch the winter song unfold from the Wuthering Heights.
Falling slowly through the Dark Divine I know you are my only hope. ~excerpt from poem

Van Gogh Swirls, Jessica Lim
The Tuxedo Archives
There is a blankness that rests in your eyes
There are times when the eyes can’t see, when the mouth can’t speak.
There is a blankness in your eyes, and a solitude within
There are times when you look up
And all there is are Van Gogh swirls ~excerpt from poem

What’s on my mind,
But I’m not even sure.
When I figure it out

I’m going back to dirty sidewalks
And twinkle-light trees
Whipped cream fog
On stacked, steep, streets ~excerpt from poem
London Colors, Mea Chavez
London Colors, Mea Chavez
The Tuxedo Archives
more green than you’d imagine
cream colored wealth
gray poverty
brick red intellectualism
red and green doors
tulips hidden under earth prolific
purple and pink
pubs wooden brown and black
gold pints and signs ~excerpt from poem

Finding Russel Square, Mea Chavez

Can’t find Russell Square
coming from the British Museum
as from a daze
lost in this brightness
amid streets I wish
were on a grid
I come across other squares
a children’s park ~excerpt from poem

Inhale the salty, crisp air.
Fingers tracing lines through mist
Covered brined metal, despair,
If you’re ensnared, flung away ~excerpt from poem

with barely a care,
letting the path lead her onwards,
wondering where she would go. ~excerpt from poem

Do you see how low I can be?
Lower than the valley and bottom of the sea.
Last night I was on top of the world.
I had you in the palm of my hand.
You were the line I couldn’t understand. ~excerpt from poem

I wove a barbed-wire basket
To carry my ex-lover's heart,
An evil remembrance of what you tore apart
Now all I need is to open his casket. ~excerpt from poem

My dearest love, how I long for thee!
When I yearn for nourishment, thou feedest me.
I grasp for words which thy beauty describe,
Thy pleasing water is such I love to imbibe. ~excerpt from poem
