Ode to a Broken Record...

I'm too dark
To be blushing
Like this
You started it
When you decided
To take the plunge
And explore
Now
My cheeks are forming
Into the likeness
Of the rose
You sent me
The other day
Just you're way
Of saying "hey"
I notice
The smile
You wear
As you watch me
Glowing
The tidal wave
Inside is rising
To your
Steady rhythm
Every bit of me
Is reaching
Full epitome
As you hit
Those spots...
Tis true
My reaction
Is norming
Taking me back
Back
To the "us"
That used to be
And
At this point
The heat between us
Is causing an inferno
And the uprising
Is segwaying
The uproar
Oh
Remember
How your body
Used to be my
Old stomping grounds
Back then we were
So young
Dumb
Passing off lust
For being in love
Look at us
Trying to
Rekindle an old flame
That has died
And gone onto hell
Look at us
We must be shameful
We do this every time
Must be the way
That old dog
Always could catch
A kitty
Make her purr
But
Could never
Keep her
And when
That day comes
That some
Fiesty feline
Should finally
Give in
To curiosity
And look to
Satisfy herself
Wholeheartedly
In your love
I want to meet her
Because
We both know
Baby she sho ain't me

Free Write

Emotions

Running

Deeper, deeper

I need you

I feel you

Deeper, deeper

Endless possibilities

A private party

You and me

You touch me

In an instant

I grow weaker

I want this…

Let’s make

Good love

Like

When we make

Good music

Accompanied by an

Overpowering resonance

Cathedral setting

To illuminate

That feeling of

Heaven sent

Because

That is exactly

Where we went

And

It’s what I want

From you

And

For us

Let’s go again…

I went melisma

In staccato

You went in deeper

I hit vibrato

My somber cry

Climaxed legato

And graciously

My body became

An unchained melody

To your

Untamed memory

And

As we come to a close

I’m feeling like

An incomplete cadence…

Lace me

With your finishing touches

And

Sustain me

Until we meet again…

Free Write Yesterday...

I’m angry
And with every moment that passes
I’m finding myself screaming out
In dismay
Hoping it reaches out
To the ear of the masses
All because of you
So no matter how hard you try
Using and abusing the smoothness
Of the limited vocabulary you possess
As soothing as you aim be
You can’t tame me
Trying to use your kisses to sedate me
And form a treaty with my counterparts
So it won’t look like a plot to rape me
Move on with your bs
Because
The only success you will have tonight
Will be at what level can you exceed to fully
Irate me
No! Don’t you dare!
Don’t even attempt to wrap your arms around
This cold, stony heart of mine
This is not the time
I’m not the one
And this truly isn’t the place
So I advise you to get up out of my face
And go find yourself a new location to dwell
Because I need some space
Giving side eyes to the 6 o'clock news
Bewildered at the weatherman
Who is clouding my judgment
It's not his fault
For even he couldn't predict
That flood that unknowingly
Infiltrated the paradise
That was my heart
I wish I would have prepared
For this rainy day
Talk about a natural disaster
All because of you
So just leave my key
See yourself out the door
To you this is my only given grace
And before you leave
The next time
You attempt to lead a double life
While the next one devotes all of herself
To being the perfect wannabe “wife”
Try not to leave a trace.
