Brownie girl

I made brownies and carefully placed choco chips on the top,

I carved your name in the raw top,

maybe I can grant your wish and be yours, 

perhaps I can wish you over with sweets. 

I know I've tried savory foods, 

popcorn in a bow-tied bag, 

tree nut mix in a little tin. 

This time I remembered your sweet tooth just in time, 

I baked brownies and put on my best dress,

just for you my boy, 

or maybe it's too early to say you're mine, 

or perhaps I'm getting stuck in my fears. 

ding dong ding dong

You're here and I smooth my frizzy brown bangs, 

hoping my blush is not overkill, 

hoping you like the brownies like I like you. 

You smile that killing smile all the way to your eyes, 

and I guess you like the brownies, 

as much as you like me.

  • Memories and solid things

    If I could weave the memories of you in a giant blanket 

    The night sky would appear 

    Or maybe the streets of that one city in Central America 

    The unspoken words caught in a language barrier

  • Crush

    Sometimes it's hard to write poetry

    It's almost like the words get stuck

    in the folds of my mind before they reach the paper

    Or maybe I just can't describe

    memory
