The Value of Structure

Our Gentle Sin

Loving you is like a hurricane, all consuming and powerful, I’m swept by your longing touch lost in your mournful gaze. You caught me at the wrong time, But I’m grateful that we even met, There are words left hanging That are now lost in the wind; no regret. Loving you is like the perfect song, You stagger me with feelings, I long, Felt what I didn’t know before, Leaving me lost, yet fulfilled. Perhaps we can find each other again,

NYC

New York, you frustrate me endlessly, You have ruined me for good I’ll never know another love Even though I know I should. New York, you make it hard to get by Not gonna lie, I barely get paid to survive. Your streets are mathematical, Your apartments, too apathetic. You dilute the air with your noise, Pollute the night with your light, Cram me inside like sardines on the Metro, Until I’m suffocating and ready to die.
