PAD Challenge Day 1: Write an “F” title poem.
F.O.O.L (Falling Out and Over Love)
Be kind and ask me kindly
how many times have I
been a fool for love-when
it comes
to loving blood and water
faithfully
to the last drop?
Tomorrow,
ask me softly,
so that you can hear my
heart speak up louder
over its clumsy tumbles
and distilled blood,
worn out on my sleeve, as
long as my lifeline.
I can’t answer today
because maybe it’s too
early-
the extra beats may kill your softness.
After tomorrow’s
tomorrow,
ask me loudly about the
patience
I processed from the number
of reiterations
of listening sessions where
I sat for seconds
until every minute puffed
into hours–
just so that I can say I know
what it’s like
to be between a group of jokers,
lies and deception.
Patiently and kindly,
I’m waiting because
love is still patient and
kind, right?
So, ask me before May
flowers
bloom without April’s
shower.
I’ll answer because I
know a little more
about giving than receiving
in advance—
just in case this exceed your
ideal of love expectations.
Ask me,
closely,
pull me into you,
warm me up enough
so that you can damn near
taste the foolishness in
air
that’s been fed coldly.
I’ll hold my breath and
tongue
until I’m no longer speak
softly
because self-love is stronger
and it owns my tongue right
now.
So, ask before I walk away
or return
the misconceptions of love
or clown it like how the
worlds does today...
