It is quite unbelievable that there will be people that I will love unconditionally that I have not met yet. Somewhere out there, in a supermarket or singing in the shower, there are souls that have not touched mine yet but will, eventually.

The way I splash your relentless name In shivers about me. Watch him wallow. If he tastes mud as bitter as this poem Of mine, then I win – and you love me.

talk to a real person by Stephen Shore
I sit in the train barefoot, and there’s a long way home. I kiss you so often in my thoughts. I never taught I had to teach romance but here I am; preaching one religion praying to one God. The God that teaches men to love their women. My barefoot with tired patches on, my hands break with longing. And no matter how much you stay, my legs never get tired of you. My feet on the passanger seat, writing drafts of poetry for a magnetic man. My poems are the proof that I can never think enough of you.

I see you as a god / at the crossroads burning your secrets for lamplight.
