Approaching Me More Swiftly by Paula Puolakka

I want you around me all the time:
there is no limit to my love.

"When I'm with you
I feel no pain,"
you tell me, and I believe you:
yet, you desire to stay
in the background,
and it hurts me because it feels like
you're only checking up on me
instead of being with me.
"Love doesn't work like that,"
I tell you, and you tell me that
you didn't know what Love was
before you met me,
so,
I reconcile, and I'm satisfied.

Now, you're approaching me more swiftly,
and you're learning to see that it's alright:
there is no limit to our love.

Dedicated to my Ted.

The Intergalactic Gothic Romantic (I Love My Ted To Bits) by Paula Puolakka

The Intergalactic Gothic Romantic is
not reading Poe or Kafka, and she's not gloomy:
I'm listening to Opus III "Mind Fruit,"
kissing the sunflowers,
and walking in the forest in my airy black dress.

I don't need drugs, pills, or alcohol:
To Be Alive is the best drug before
the Inevitable End,
and I love my Ted - my immortal beloved - to bits.
