Whiskey, Wonder, and You

By RD Alexandra

The majority of the poems in this collection endeavor to articulate the often-overwhelming elusiveness of the world around us. Each piece intends to invoke an image that relates to moments in our life that we relive every now and then – flavoring our conscious with either hints of nostalgia or the essence of apprehension

I could love you

with ten thousand

suns

I could love you

with all the

seas

Don’t make

the universe

for us

You know she loves you,

She said stirring her coffee.

"I know. She deserves

more though." His eyes lowered.

She sighed, "she doesn’t care where

you are now, she cares

to help you get where you’re

going.

Don’t let her walk away

because you believe in the

‘right time’ bullshit.

Nothing is ever the

right time."

The sun grazed

over his eyes

window

The dawn crowding

in his chest.

Good morning.

"Like fireworks or maybe an explosion.

It was white hot and

and then coming up for air."

His lips turned up,

"Baby, you just described

yourself."

I’m brilliant.

I’m hilarious.

I’m adoration slathered in kindness.

I’m curious.

I’m talented.

I’m stunning.

I’m so much more than cute.

Goddamnit.

Look at my soul.

I am a sunset in the mountains.

I am the waves upon the shore.

I am a masterpiece.

And maybe one day

I’ll believe it.

It’s lonely that I’m fucking

Lonely that’s sprawled

across my sheets

Lonely that calls me when
