Fated

At all hours
I seek the horizon
I was fated for
I touch the light lingering there
But what is this
The pause before you burst forth
Or the looking back 
On your way to tomorrow
And my name is tonight 

Light My Cigarette

I won’t date

But I wish to be dated 

Date and time stamped on my very soul

The precise moments you tell me the future with loud eyes and quiet lips

The exact occasions my heart drops

As you hold open my door

Stand silent when I leave

Leap to your feet when I arrive

Offer me your coat

Light my cigarette
