Strawberry Lover
Author: The Mad Poet  PM
An old poem about an old love. Anyone who's ever been in a long distance relationship probably knows how this feels, or maybe I'm the only one. Even years later, after everything, the smell of strawberries still makes my heart sting just a little.

Strawberry Lover
From candy cardboard boxes
Someplace, Arizona came this scent--
this strawberry-ooze-sweet
washing out my cigarettes.
Beneath the grit of the postman's
hands
I imagine your kisses taste that way.
You become the puff pink
wrapping, the click tick snap of
packing paper tissues around
bargain bin DVDs.
These were all my favorites but I
wanted
to be unwrapping you here instead.
Why do you send me incense and chocolate
cards, substition hearts in shades
of gradeschool valentine pink?
It's hard to be lovers when all I can love are
strawberries.
