serenades in static

By eidos






I remember the way you lied.
more than I remember the way you kissed.
It's a shame to say that the best part of us
was based on words that felt as empty as radio waves.
yet were as heavy as the songs that fell
from fingers when we changed channels.
And it all felt right.

    I hope you one day publish a book of your works. Your poetry has that rare quality of making the reader thirsty for the next piece. A genuine page turner.
