What Purpose Love Serves
The language that follows the path of most resistance
whether it’s the marrying type
or the look who’s coming to dinner tonight
It is not all hype
Up on the coffee table we have christened,
which found no weary mug needing rest, no
I don’t drink coffee,
only the warm soft skin of the woman
I’ve laid upon and upended
Onto the tile floor
Where [...]
Missing The Touch
Missing the touch
That sent me over the edge
Before the parting of ways
Came full speed ahead
This loss and distance resounds in echoes of sleepless
Nights spent
Wallowing in tears of long gones and regret
This lover knows no better
Than to believe she was the best
No one else could drape me in their golden hazes
Moments of clarity that hardly change [...]
Soul Deep
There’s a deep richness in my affinity for you
A spiritual arousal of intoxicating sensual
You spray me with the odor of my favorite scented brand
Your sexy nature arouses each and every one of my senses
Every shade of the deepest brown is reflected in your eyes
I feel a sense of harmony in knowing that with you everything [...]
To The One Riding Shotgun
What describes this super intense
Longing, aching, rumbling feeling
Can’t quite concentrate on anything without any meaning
Except on how to keep our boat from reeling
And how your body is the fruit that I see myself peeling
How my spirit is searing
With the passion of an electrified charge
How your protons push my buttons
Particles strum chords across my heart, and
it [...]
There Are Always Haters
We were on a long walk in the park
in late August
The lake water shimmered against the sun’s gaze
fall was upon us
And I stopped to lean against a tree
It was the farthest one I could find
You leaned against me and a passerby said something like,
“It won’t last ladies” as if there was something we were hiding
When [...]
How’s Life Cheating You
Two years in review and much has changed
Opportunities arise on a daily base
And still I put myself out there
Unafraid to take blame
Of my past indiscretions
And the danger I faced
When I came clean about cheating
I’ll never forget the day
Drove over to my mistresses place
I had a lot to say
When I got to the door I heard the music escaping
The [...]
The Darkness Surrounding the Light of Day
It was surreal to be honest
Of the vast desolate silence in the house
The only noises felt were within rays
Streaming in from above
Shining in through the skylight window you so love
So much for camping and road trips and festivals to come
Oh Clark Street – you must have known this was our summer
What our plans consisted of
And [...]
The Transformation of Lives
How is it
That in such a short time
You have produced a fear
That has crippled our stride
As I watched my baby’s face succumb
To news neither of us were expecting
We became numb
Breast cancer
the diagnosis
It was confirmed to us
It had dug in its trenches
Tracked footprints across
Our hearts, beating away
Never detached for naught
As we prayed for an answer
I felt [...]
Heart Inscribed
I love the feeling
of you wrapped into me
Intricately, night after night we seam
So connected that we’re threaded
And it’s not only in our dreams
We contest what needs professing
And take each other to extremes
Having never explored the other
Do you remember when we
Frolicked and played amidst disorder
Learning one another intimately
Wondering how your needs so easily became
My spirit’s feed for [...]
Your Sexy Intellect
I always noticed you
My initial feeling was that you were dope
I loved how your thoughts processed
And how you played it like your were so… shy
I especially like it when
You casually bite your lip
While side eyeing something I just said
And all I probably want
Is to be in between both of them
I like how you just showed up
Out of the blue [...]
