More Cheese Please
I think I should hire
brakes for my heart
It’s always been in full speed
especially when
my gaze
entwined paths
with yours
You made my eyes
borrow rays from the sun
and nestle between the nights
to glow around you
You made my pupils dilate
creating big bang
every time you look back
giving birth to a new universe
with its very own solar system
where you stand as the sun
the biggest star
In.my.universe.
warm and hot.

You turned my poetry
into an abundant cheese platter
infused with cheesy love quotes
some nutty words
that time-travelled me
to worlds of innocence
puppy-love
in an adult body
the paradox of
any chemical imbalance
that tilts the scale
towards
the one that has cupid
weighing it down
with his arrows that
have your name on them
You paused time
in moments when
I felt it rushed
Monday became Friday in a blink
of an eye
They say
“time flies when you’re having fun”
It made me
wonder if time
conspired
with the heart
to build the crave
towards you
because truly
time is never enough
when you’re around
hourglass sand slips faster
the sun rises faster
the sun sets faster
for Christ’s sake
the laws of time
got screwed up
messing up the days
the nights
shaking my whole being
raising tides
swaying my moods
ebbs and flows
lunar activity
mercury in retrograde
tornadoing me into
a frenzy
putting in a world
unlike this
You transformed
every twist and turn
into a braid beautifully
flowing through
the days
turning them
from hiccups
to stories
with plot twists
that turn
“urghs”
into
“sigh-les”
sighs with smiles
I found myself doodling
hearts over eyes
over i’s
then I blinked and
realized I’m
in a meeting
at the age of
38 years old
who’s caught
in a web of hearts
and breaks
serving the world
a platter of cheese
because
who the fuck
doesn’t
like cheese?
