I REMEMBER ...
I remember the loud band screaming their song
I remember shouting my story though no was listening but you
I remember they lit the bar on fire
I remember the sheer black and white polka dot shirt I was wearing
and the white mini skirt with fishnet house and combat boots
I remember you were wearing a 40’s paisley tie with a black shirt
and black pants and your hair slicked back 50’s style with matching sideburns
I remember sitting on top of a cigarette vending machine with my legs
crossed and a bird’s eye view
I remember you helping my friend who is not my friend anymore
carry her drums placing them gently in the car
I remember the smoke-filled room with bodies dancing
I remember you were quick with a light and a smile
I remember our friends that were there
I remember my black cat eye liner was smeared in a punk rock way
I remember I had a crush on your friend who seemed like my type but
even more shocking I was his type too (no one ever thinks they are someone
else's type)
I remember we talked and talked even though I don’t remember what
we said
I remember thinking you were a “nice” guy, but I don’t remember
knowing then that you would be my forever….
I can’t find the
words to talk to you
I send secret messages
in a bottle
red lipstick sealed
beaten by ocean waves
foaming words
out of Aphrodite’s head
MANHATTAN BEACH
Walking by the sea
the day changes
the clouds mirror
the waves
The sun starts to set
taking on colors
painter wishes
they knew
Horizon stretching
going further than
perception
Still, all I can do
is think of you
and me
like there is
nothing
else in between
