A NEW DAY

The day begins, your voice alters my ways and actions. Coppertone, heavenly sent intoxicating, your Caribbean features overwhelm the animal within. I can no longer contain myself… The dark and cold, lonely night keeps my soul weeping And my dreams, nightmares are so vivid. The anticipation for the sun’s rays to break the night. So I can yet again bathe in the warmth of your love… How many seconds that will turn to minutes with hours prolonging that become weeks that come to become a new month, your eyes dig deep within my soul! If only you knew better, yet understood the nights I’ve caressed your soul…when kissing you from head to toe… To be honest I can’t wait for the sun to rise again so that the day can begin… IT’S SNOWING At 30 MPH God blew white ashes…Into my face. No harm done, to be honest it felt more like a face-off in time to bring forth the child that would play until fingers, toes, and nose numb… For every hour that passes one or two inches accumulate of white ashes that complete the puzzle that built this white sheet that covers every obstacle within its path… As the footprints leave behind the story that’s rarely remembered, the more we walk the more compelling it becomes. Sometimes I gaze out the window and wonder whatever happened to that kid that played in these white ashes… at 30 MPH…

Forever praising you

WHO CARES

The hunting of lost souls crying, begging to be remembered… Why should they? I was good. If you say so. We need you… Your turn… Like a bullet needs a head to run through… Who cares? You should have! Karma bites! Did you forget? Leave me alone, just as you did… Who cares? You made your bed… Good night…

Acts… Up before, the cries of the rooster, You inhale and give thanks for the blessing… The struggle makes you stronger…and hopefully, they’ll see… Human nature, the responsibility you tackle, Make the reality to life become understandable. Why… I push…what you said…and added something They said…and remembered something I did That made her say…look and listen And you’ll feel the warmth of His kindness.

JANE

Just another natural emotion moving the Universe, my life, my life… Close your eyes, eyes shut wide open, place your feet in my shoes, feel the pebble that brings grains of salt that bang on my windows, my ticker pumps ice cubes love lost, love gone. Okay, love don’t live here no more… Sold the bridge to She. ’Cause she misunderstood the understanding to understand he whispers sweet dreams while you sleep while standing and Barbie now lives in the back of the closet, under dirty Pampers, she so smart because she don’t drink. So what could have been life now lives in the curves in the wall. In a dim staircase, jus’ another natural emotion moving the Universe.
