Its as big as my dang face lol
I lost tomorrow.
she thought it’d be better
if she leave,
only after she saw me with today
smiling.
spine slightly curved
against the kitchen door post,
her hand in my back pocket.
flirtatious teens,
shooting the breeze…
indoors
Tomorrow said,
she always knew.
peeped game
the first time
she heard the way
Today says my name.
the cigarettes
in the ashtray,
smudge free
(Maybeline)
rouge…
Today is Janet
Lady in red mentality
gay husband
and all.
fierce,
with a heart
too heavy to hold.
But easy to love
from a distance
Bad as a muh fucker!
so bad,
she leaves me by sunrise.
I lay
fetal position prepared
and yearning
for Today’s hands
on my hips
aiding the arrival of her body
next to mine.
you know,
morning cuddle security.
AM anticipation
slowly
gets old…
so,
I’ve learned
go with the flow
Neglecting expectation
every once in a while though
It’s new
like teenagers
smiling
and
I just cant…
cant help my empty
sad…
if today leaves
at least
I can still count
on the ability to breathe.
if tomorrow leaves,
I’ll be nothing more than dead.
Plaster these days in marble
For the preservation of laughing eyes
love without flaw
Her touch
hands on one accord
Lips without regret
slow
And intentional
like they know me or something
Side note…
I wonder if she can tell my equilibrium is of delinquent regard
I try not to fall so hard when she’s looking
Sometimes my heart fails light the flare
Leaving me engulfed in passion and giggles
Sorrow lagging behind
To say I love her belittles my emotion
I’ve said those same words to others, but no encounter has been as divine
No hug as spiritual
Yea,
we have our days… Just like everyone else
But these days!
Man…
Such monumental benevolence
The tourist will come from all around town to see this love
Familiar and warm
And true
And significant…
Others don’t compare
We know this
And would rather not explain the circumstance
We live now…
Worry about the rest later
Yea yall…
Days like these
This morning
She was beside me
While she slept
My head found its way to her chest
Her heartbeat
Caught me
Completely off guard
And vulnerable
It had been a while
Since I heard
I cried
Silent
Happy
Sad
At the same time
Couldn’t stop
So I let go
In her arms
Against her chest
This morning
Damsel draped in honey dew
Rejecting rescue
Enticed by the capture of my kiss
Tonight we will dance
Quick quick slow to the rhythm of disaster
My sheets will hold our secrets
Long after the wash
My walls will anger
For the lack of remote control
They have no choice
We channel energy
Walls watch against will
Us
Blow backs in
Bang big in theory
Begin end
And then
Repeat
Nights like these
I can’t explain
But the rain
Exemplifies her desire
God calls us greedy
We aren’t supposed to be here
In the dark
Giving each other reasons to love
Trapped in this box of glory
We have others, significant
But this…
This
Is incomparable
This isn’t a poem, just a collection of thoughts…
Pep talk preparation for Philadelphia birthday celebration
She said
It’s my birthday
You and her will be in the same space because I want you both there
Now, I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s emotions so imma need yall to chill
What I heard was
I know you love me
And I know it will kill you to see me with another
But just forget you have a heart for the weekend
Those emotions of yours
Leave them at home
just bring your body
My best friend said that I shouldn’t go
With tears in my eyes
I said but I love her
I wonder what the other chick was saying…
I wonder what thoughts were running through her mind
Which one of us is dumb?
Me, agreeing to suicide
Or her, for watching
Hope was shot to death February 14th
A dinner with me would mix signals
Hope regained a heart beat February 29th
Then was sent into a state of shock with a text message
“She is here. I don’t care. I’m leaving”
Which one of us is dumb?
Me for placing my emotions in a medically induced coma
Or her for still being there after the date was over?
Maybe I’m the dumb one
The one in love is always the dumb one, right?
“Tell Me Your Secrets” Inspired by Poet/Author Shelly Bell. Get free! Join the Liberation Movement!!!!!!
So, a few months ago I was being clowned by two poet friends of mine. They were making fun of my abilities in bed… So I wrote a poem about it lol This is so old but here you go…
beating chests
like primates
heads tilted
face toward the sky
pride yell high
to the tips of lungs
that we
indeed
be fucking
hard
all night long
straps
fingers
and penis
penetrate strong
beat it up
dog it out
tear it down
getting it in
round for round
mushrooms
at the ends
of tunnels
feeding egos
the only thing
with room left to grow
cuz dicks don’t get bigger
fingers wont get thicker
and straps
are just plain old
inanimate objects
so yes
clown me
for being one
of few
who appreciates
the time God took
to create
such an intricate design
laugh at me
for enjoying the
way a woman shutters
when i kiss her spine
one vertibrae
at a time
painting portraits
on inner thighs
watching
chests rise and fall
while inhaling
her anticipation
i enjoy
patience
sex aint always a race
its
and experience
and no
she might not go home
singing that drake song
but she will leave
satisfied…
