Poems

Zee.

Atomic bombs destroyed Hiroshima,
The singular intensity of that reaction
Is minute compared to the hours I dedicated
To seeing you smile!

If I’d been holding a plutonium core,
When you flashed that smile my way.
Would have dropped it without thinking.
Good though,
Because that’ll make you the only Queen in Africa.

You’ve been generous with your smile,
And your singular awesomeness,
But what I really want is your love
Your unconditional love.
Then I’ll be a king, an happy king.

Imagine the intensity of our union,
Like plutonium and uranium in sync,
Without cooling apparatuses in sight.
The world can’t contain us.
