Think of You
By: Mylinh Nguyen
I was sitting in the green grass, gazing
at the sky, where a rainbow caught my eye
I thought about you and our first date
and a loving smile crossed my face
I was channel surfing and came across
your favorite show, I can hear your laughter
always on my mind, every passing hour
your warm loving smile that makes my day,
keeps me wanting to run towards your way
Finding it hard to stay focused as I see
those three little freckles when you wrinkle your nose
how I use to joke about your triangle
you would make fun of how my feet dangled
Slouching down, trying to reach the ground
I ordered a cheese pizza and a coke
Telling you a joke, you chocked
I remember the times we slept under
the moon, counting the starts like fools
reliving the past, hoping that every
moment would last a little bit longer
but my nightmare started from right there
When you waved me goodbye, from miles away
Leaving me alone in the deep grey stone
Yet your loving smile never did fade,
Rather pricked my heart like a fat spade
I’m always thinking about you night and day
Whenever I open the bright pink door,
The memory of your fragrances greets me
Inhaling your presences; that lingers on
I don’t think you’ve ever left my mind

Have A Good One [In the error]
In the error
thinking of non-intervention
with you. A red sun
(don’t look) pokes
through. Staging
development and the cutting
loose of its facile integrity
its disproportionate
personal non-response.
The wince. The shrug. The
belated semi-acknowledgment
of owning just
enough to take part.
In the era, thinking of you
will quit my job
in one year to get
more done, work harder
to insert myself into
the fragile extension
of space between us
to get something done.
In the ear
thinking after you.
