craptastic poetry for steve, because he humors me and reads it

where is the greatness that

poetry blessed me with?

the muse of power to make men swoon

(as if they do)

but the closest thing to my heaven

is the breath-on-cheek existence

that arrives every sporadic-so-often

just as i'm on the verge of crumpling,

the clockwork rewinds to when i am sane

(again)

to lulabye me temporarily

it's the sweetest torture

i'll ever force myself to endure
