To The One Riding Shotgun

Knowledge — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 18:11:32 +0000

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 understates the understanding
Of this intense physical need
And how you produce within me
Such a power that I concede
So strong is my desire
For you – it bleeds
And hinges on everything
That I can’t fully conceive
Of the thought that possibly we might not be
Made to love each other
To kiss, to hold and to tease
To bring about a feeling
Of longing and ecstasy
Your mind and your body – both ready for the taking
To descend upon what’s mine
I’m pulling out all stops in sync
I’m gonna love you exclusively
Pulling us closer to the brink
Your heart and mine – they both drum beat
In unison with a sense of the most sensual healing
That this lingering feeling keeps on constantly bringing
With it no doubt that our connection supersedes
Anyone that was previously
Considered to be
Meant for you and me
I’m riding shotgun from now on
They can take a backseat

There Are Always Haters

Knowledge — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:18:17 +0000

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 it was their own love that was washed away with the tide

Long ago along the way when running laps through hearts lapsed

But we enjoy the playful breeze and embrace in practice

And pretend not to listen as thoughts run through our heads

And we enjoy the disguise of being one with one another instead

Tip-toes arch, arms out stretch as I press my body upon her

We gaze deeply while set ablaze letting our desires run asunder

Full of life as we touch every sense is ignited

Ignoring glares and stares of lives left unenlivened

Having never experienced the passion incited

With flailing hearts set to stone

Engulfed within the bodies of ice cold people

In spite of

This love we find ourselves dabbling in

By those same critics

Recusing when love reaches in

Yet somehow our feelings are mental holograms

Situated in a place they can’t conceive of when

They know love can’t be cloned so they remain discontented

Like people trapped inside of aliens

When aliases break down – they condense

But we are signed, sealed and delivered – for love is like that

It is senseless when it triggers

With every kiss that we extract

The most intense feeling that ever existed

Outside of pain anyway

Which most of them are inflicted with

I think as I press my lips to hers once again

And listen to the thoughts fluttering in

Silently uttering something reminiscent of

“Poor them…”

How’s Life Cheating You

Knowledge — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 02:30:12 +0000

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 sounds of making love from their lips dissipating
She arrived at the door and let me in, all kissy faced
I could tell she’d been sexing by the image on display
I could see it in her face, derived by the look in her eyes
Her bedroom door remained closed
That was clue two — so said I
She asked why I came
So I showed her my keys
And reminded her that I paid half the rent
So to speak
The truth of the matter was she got caught with her panties down
With her new fling in the bedroom where they went all the way downtown
They took a bite out of the pie that I had been baking all year
I got exactly what I deserved – karma was playing on my fears
I Got Pimp Slapped
To be honest – I deserved far worse than I feared
I should have saved myself the trouble
Walked and wallowed in tears
But I couldn’t lie any longer
I’d done enough lying for too long
No matter how potent my tongue game
The pull of her thong was more strong
And my girlfriend was broken
From all of the women I had done wrong
I was lying to myself, even as I kept falling
Baggage flying off the shelf where I had previously installed it
But no landing strip in sight despite many sad songs, and
I told on myself to save you all the trouble
I rode by myself, regret that I ever succumbed to
Loving and losing oneself, that’s what it all boils up to
I learned that I was both Master and Fool
When my emotions overpower, and are clearly on the move
I wondered what it was I sought
You wondered why it couldn’t be you
But I always aim free and see everything right through
Beyond the surface of wanton preference
Beyond regulations and rules
Stereotypical statements of reverence
Beyond those lacking broad minded views
Filling voids through intellectual lessons
Acrobatics expressed half-truths
Countenance met with sentiments
No longer allowed to falsely excuse
My imperfections as dutiful
Like the times I failed to refute
The first thing I noticed about her, and how it wasn’t her high-heeled shoes
Not her poetic mind either, she made a much better muse
How sweet words she conjured in kind
Begot others kindness in tune
No ruse at putting up false pretenses
Love saved before it was duped
In time to turn the first page
Proof what’s been written is true
Addicted to a concept called love
I turn another page; my ink runs
I see a name, etched on a face, too slight to touch
Two new smiles rise like the sun
Over again we’re falling in love
I was taken back by the lingering tingling welcoming of
Feelings evoked from a kiss had me shouting above
Oh how breathless I’d become,
and at times pause to let in another gust
But it was really to reminisce
To overstand that original love
Always overcomes original sin
And my spirit had been damaged enough
But still, you let me in
It begged and pleaded for forgiveness
And in your sanctuary we began again
Fortunate for me, all roads, in vain, don’t end
All told, considering, I can only shake my head
All points, instead, lead right back to you
Pompous pedestals placed up high; eschewed
Come sit atop it, woman, and so you do
No longer a constant gnawing at hurting you
Promises no longer empty and made too simply
To overcome one heart just to get over on the next piece
Your love was enough through and through
You did nothing wrong
But I thought my words would flow tip of tongue
Like beautiful rough pieces of uncut diamonds
Everyone knows the tale about a girls best friend
But not everyone knows that it’s not always diamonds
Perhaps a new beginning is what she wishes for instead
Maybe the love of a poet, for others would probably take a pass
But not my love who saw me for more than I represented
Beyond all the worldly materialistic shit
Together again, we make each day worth a million, and
No matter what we’re presented with
Life no longer cheats, it lives
I’m no more allowing it

The Darkness Surrounding the Light of Day

Knowledge — Wed, 11 May 2011 18:00:00 +0000

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 with it, I understand why the knowledge hit so hard
I live in similar fashion
Full of direction
Full of love
But at the same time – passionate
Like a punch to the gut
But the light eventually retreated its expose
Fresh dried tears wiped away
I waited to compose
A special hug
I remember holding you close
My arms like the darkness
A double dose heavily descended
Embracing no underlying pretensions
I tried to awake from this most peculiar dream
I captured thoughts but
Couldn’t repel what plagued me
I was left wondering
Is this real – or am I dreaming
The logic of the diagnosis still alien to me
The most I did was breathe
To prevent myself from heaving
Heavy heartache surrounded
The tumor was all I could see
Awkward in nature and blindly exposed
And from that vision there was no console
No one could know how our thoughts water flowed
How you inspire so many with
Countless somethings wonderful
If only it hadn’t taken me this long to know
To realize my purpose – so foreign then
One that I failed to logically comprehend
Be still your weary soul
I seal it onto my own – append
This bond knows no fear so our fear is unknown
And with my purpose finally cemented
I leap with faith constantly replenished
Cause when the curtains fold
Like in the plays of old
We anxiously await the intermission

The Transformation of Lives

Knowledge — Tue, 10 May 2011 23:04:05 +0000

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 the suns rays
I’ll never forget that day
and I’ll never forget this fight
Against a terrible nightmare
dreaming away precious life
But we will fight against it
the call has been heard
In our minds and our hearts
we will not be deterred
As I stand here in her firmly planted footsteps
Life takes on new meaning
And we trudge straight ahead
For there are no backtracks
We are forever glued
Coping with these cancerous radiant blues
She brings joy to so many
but now with you
The greatest joy to come
when you no longer constitute
When your deadly rampage is no longer ensued
With a body tired
and a soul weakened by battle
In this moment I stand tall
For her – in spite of you
See
When I made her rest her weary soul upon me
I wanted to carry her burden
Because she is deserving
Of my strength and courage
my most prominent ingredients
So I come equipped for
A battle of epic proportioning
Ready to beat the crap
Out of the fear that grips me
I remind myself daily
Of all the things cancer cannot impede
It cannot quell our spirits
It cannot destroy our faith
It cannot dispel the hopes
We placed in dreams of yesterday
It cannot still our passion
Nor our love of life and love
The only way it can win is
If we allow it to, my love

Heart Inscribed

Knowledge — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 21:36:31 +0000

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 survival like African game
Like subterranean vessels we keep steady underway
Keeping our passion strong, we let no others forsake
Refusing to let another partake in
Throwing our motion off track just for a passionate stake in
It’s undeniable that your caress takes me to another place
And the beauty found within you often lightens a darkened way
Another hour, another day, my minutes get counted in rewind
You make me want to revert the flux
Experiencing wants I never desired
And I know that I can be a little hard on you sometimes
But my heart is soft with its constant want
Of you; my sights set far and wide
A long time coming ’cause love takes time
Amidst each crevice, my heart’s inscribed

The Darkness Surrounding the Light of Day

Your Sexy Intellect

Knowledge — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 12:59:05 +0000

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 you were on my mind
Came in without invitation
Like the first time we casually pried
You said you needed to talk
Something about a roller coaster ride
And it was time I let you have it
Heart beat too strong for you to hide
You said “boo I’m feeling you” and so I took your words in stride
“And hopefully you’re feeling me too, and you’ll let me stay a while.”
You were impatient so I licked my lips and whispered in your ear
“Where do you want to do this,” and you said “We can do it anywhere.”
So I touched you
Soft body tingling all the way through
Emotions running high
As dreams became reality boo
And you, a living breathing entity
So beautiful
You visibly
Molded us together
In the ways and waves of ecstasy
Pure pleasure..
As pleasurable..
And deep as a subterranean sea
I kissed you
And got so high
Like a bird soaring with twenty wings
Like soft words spoken lovingly
From one most high
Girl, you’re heavenly
I saw you floating
Fuck solid ground
I’d rather us be
On satin sheets
A top a bed of rose petal pillows
A cloud mattress witness to a stormy affair
Can’t do anything but billow
We’re making history here
Look how the skies lights’ flicker together
Displaying shadows as our bodies come hither
I made love to you
Caressed every follicle
Lit you on fire just so I could admire you
Slid against your slippery interior
Igniting all of my hot spots too
melting out a thawed out exterior
Methodically, we
fed off the flavor making love brings
Good and plenty
coexisting with lust
Loving so deep
You touched my souls gut
made it feel beautiful
soothed it with all of you
your teasing creating so much desire
There is the proof, what more is required?
motions spilling as our bodies stay gleaming
We came together yet bodies stayed needing
words no longer had any meaning
More than just that transpired between you and me
I kept receiving what you were giving
and like sensual hunger, we
became one with each other
fulfilled pleasures brought on by
Six dimensional lovers
Cravings best expressed physically
‘cause our minds been made up
Long before kisses entered into our dreams
And they stay put

A Poem to Self

Knowledge — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 00:28:24 +0000

My healed black ego
Hides well under the scars
Placed carefully within
Misshapen bouts of depression
Can’t think clear enough
Through the emotional discarding
Of those well-sung lullabies
I used to sing myself at night
Flying through the open window
Out of a heavily burdened mind
Makes me thank God
For how feminine love makes me
Feels so free to alleviate
Any discord that plagues me
Like how the daily motions
of dallying in masculinity
Cause others to abhor
As if forced to cosign some obscenity
Yet with the flick of a wrist
I can go right back to being pretty
‘Cause I am female baby
I am all encompassing
I am… above all else
The only soul that can never deny me
But for the moment I am just a tomboy
And love makes me feel feminine
And masculine
And so wide open
I want to bask in it
‘Cause I’m comfortable
In my own skin now
Forget that mousy little quiet girl’s smile
… she was all me
And there is this strength in silence
It’s as resilient as the sun is
Even in the midst of violence
Never forgetting that late spring
Was the moment my story began
I melted like chocolate into my heart
There existed no privacy
No prior knowledge to impart
No dead bolted doors
My soul was already unlocked
The key was all yours
Though mind’s currently deadlocked
Calloused from years of playing
Too much hard ball
The cracks filled in the spaces
Where losses formed a cold heart
But I no longer allow
Old bruises to further fuel
No concessions
Plus my ego’s tall enough
To carry us through any storm
No side-stepping
‘Cause love takes time
And I give in to what’s mine, mi amore
Plenty of objectives to overcome
Heart’s sick and tired of being lonely
No longer afraid to open up
No emotions coming unrelenting
And to tell you the truth
Everything that’s good about me
I find it beating in a heart
That loves whether awake or sleeping

I Want You

Knowledge — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:41:02 +0000

Let’s cut through the lyrical romance.

I’ve wined and dined, you know what comes next.

Do we satisfy the ultimate longing.

Or do what they do in the songs and tap dance.

I’d much rather hear you sing your heart out.

As I calmly eat my heart out.

Removing the angel wings from a good girl.

As I further wrap you up into my world.

You’ve got the perception that most others lack.

Or else they’re deceptive, putting on make believe acts.

But you, and all of your magnificent succulence.

You’re something like my kind of sweet rebellious Princess.

Skin as flawless as a diamond’s.

Glanced off the suns rays reflected.

And when it rains I still want you, especially.

I want our bodies in sync; outwardly projecting.

I want to satisfy every longing you’ve neglected.

Have you straddle my mental hustle, as lust keeps us neck to neck.

These muscles of mine never falter.

For you’re as light as a feather in my hands.

I want to overwhelm you with all of my love.

I want to put my spell on you so you’re at one with my touch.

Show you just how deep I’m feigning for you.

Put my heart into every pleasure I indulge in ’till I’m fulfilled.

Right to the heart of you.

Feel how badly I’m aching boo.

I’d let you dominate me, and penetrate my inner thoughts too.

I’m addicted to how your body moves.

How your legs naturally open as I push buttons meant to soothe.

My pretty little southern flower.

Exploding from the way that my fingers move.

I can’t stop rubbing and touching.

Don’t think I can stop even if I tried to.

I’d rather torture me than you because I don’t wanna make you feel uncomfortable.

I’d rather throb and ache and endure the worst of heart aches all because I’m in love with you.

Just to prove that my lust and love.

Go hand in hand, when it comes to you.

Woman. I’d do anything.

How else to explain this fiery passion that’s been bubbling to the surface ever since we began.

Just the thought of your short self and I succumb to your feminine being again.

You’ve got them organic skills; that killer seduction thing.

And the experience that comes with being a natural at loving me.

They don’t understand you as well as I do.

Don’t know that your mind’s constantly running in circles.

Like my tongue, when we fuck, and you’re begging me not to be so rough with you.

I am in love with more than just the good stuff too. I adore you for loving as easy as you do.

With understanding, yet you second guess every bad relationship you’ve been through.

Even my bad boi’s gone 360, brought me right back to me and you.

To have and to hold and to love ’till we’re old, as dust, that’s what we agreed to do.

I accept all of your baggage if you’ll accept mine too.

Stop being so rebellious, so damn fearless yet afraid of me.

Open your heart, girl, stop feeling ashamed of silly things.

‘Cause being feminine doesn’t mean that you can’t be as aggressive as me.

Or that you can’t handle my aggressive when I haven’t even touch the pussy.

Not only am I in love with your intellectual ecstasy.

I love your style, and the affect that your eroticism has on me.

You are a natural aphrodisiac.

You are my pleasure and that’s not just a fact.

I’m talking a lifetime of only feeling for you with lust and love and pain, in fact.

You light a fire in me that can only be extinguished with you performing your loving acts.

Doesn’t matter about the miles, they’ll never keep us apart as long as.

You are the muse beneath my ink: My Woman no matter what anyone thinks.

I am so consumed by desire for you, I can barely think, yet my writing’s inspired by you.

I welcome all thoughts that you arouse in me.

Because even when you ignore me, you are arousing me.

Love Is Imperfect Perfection

Knowledge — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:30:12 +0000

My love runs through
Broken hearts and altered souls
Exalted love was made impure
While walking paths that no bound knows
Whispering nothings sweet and minced
Empty proclamation’s dispensed
Yet still hearts deeply embedded within
Permanently encased within a permanence
A familiar feeling I became acquainted with
So while lust and desire took a hold our gift
You held on to promises made
Without pretense

—————————————

We endured the pain of turning black our past
And began anew with a surreptitious glance
We conjured replies
Monitored screens of text
When our thoughts found a room
There they privately danced
Eyes seductively engaged
In a tug of war stance
When minds were made up
Love didn’t stand a chance

—————————————

We searched for a way
To make sense of us
When love felt threatened
We hid behind lust
It carried and sustained us
‘Til once again we became
Devoted and loving in unimaginable ways
Our committments manifested
Through unsullied slates
It was the only truth we could believe in
‘Til hope gave way to change
Gave your heart a million reasons
To keep calling out my name
It felt the same as when I spotted you
Wandering aimlessly in my world
A hidden gemstone so beautiful
Shining through a broken soul
Unveiled in all the disorder
Breaking down walls built of gold

———————————–

Now I hold my head high
No fears in sight of displeasing
You remain the only one
The sweetest of all serendipity
Your emotions stir me on
Fierce yet playful do they bait me
So I embrace each and every one
Overpowering any descrepancies
Pent up love being just one
Reveling in your love’s constant unraveling

——————————————–

You hold the essence of unconditional
The heart of the woman
I sought fruition though
You waited for love most faithfully
And love in a way that does not speak
Or ask for much beneath the surface cause
It’s not the sort that leaves either of us
Unstable for months
Based on investments in distrust
Cause unlike some I will only blame one
For the sadness that happened
To make us come undone
But we’re stronger now
For planting new seeds and witnessing
Our love take new root
Cause we been rooted since the beginning
It’s the continuation of an abundant continuing
A love that exudes of concupiscence and feelings of
Your soul being my mate
These feelings affect me profoundly
Make me crave all you crave
The pull of your passion astounds me
Makes all vulnerabilities escape
In such a way that I don’t question
The impact left in the wake
Of loves imperfect perfection
