dear date

meet me at five guys

tottenham court road

we'll order burgers

and fries and talk in code

before the show starts

at six-fourty five

don’t be late

or else we won’t survive

the hunger that’ll hit

at seven thirty

keep me waiting and

I won’t be flirty


Felt cute, wrote it, and sent it. And yes, it was well received. And yes, it was a good date.

Seven men stand
Outside the florist
Waiting to surprise
The person on their mind

Six bouquets brighten
The grey tube carriage
Love littering eye lines
Flowers bringing life

Don’t have to be shy


I took my own
Fearless, careless advice
And now I am impatiently waiting
For the reply


Oh, I’m a sucker for love - you should know that about me. I was on the bus, driving through Shoreditch and past a florist. The view of men lining up waiting to pick up their bouquets painted me in romance and I thought about who might be on the receiving end of their love.

in between

We walked from market to station

two beers between us

minus one degrees.

Sharing three kisses

distance closing between us

unabashedly crushing after these.
