Sonnet I

Here in the dark I embrace my lover


‘til morning when I go to brush my teeth.

And after which I take a swig of Gin,

Then slide my body under the cover,

To intake the beautiful comforting heat

Let’s let the lovemaking begin

We’re interrupted by his kidney stones,

Weird pain felt in my head and chestal zones.

August,

When pollen gives a hallucination

The only thing that soothes me is music,

Which is the only thing I have at night,

Because these days there is just no passion,

I wonder what happened to the magic

“Honey, will you please go turn off the light?”
