Reasons

Be the motive
for the breeze
destroying 
my hair. 
Be the design
for splattered shoes
and bruised heels.
Be the cause
for heavy breathing. 
Chase me
so I have a reason 
to run away.

Windows

Eyes are windows
so I cut my hair
like drapes. 
Don't you dare 
swing them open. 
You will be blinded 
by what you see.

Aging

1. We were all
paper waiting
for the ink of time
to etch love
stories on our lines. 

2. The ink
has smudged
under our eye lids. 
We are folded 
and creased. 

3. Who remembers 
when it was a blank
page?

4. Who reads
these stories?
Sometimes, even I
forget who you are.
