(mostly) short poems on life and love

drop by drop

November 29, 2021 by Michael Guerin

i.

last night
she flooded my dreams
coming through
in waves

of rose water
poured over pale skin,
leaving
me breathless.

ii.

an overcast sky
shrouds
bitter memories
which leak

drop by drop —
spilled serum vials
emptied
into a past

swallowing up
the prouder parts
of her
(and me)

until the last kiss
goodbye.
