Shiver

 I shiver at your touch

Adrift in a sea 

Of distant memory.


It sounds like too much

But I cannot believe

How swiftly I retreat


Like a turtle into its shell

I’m scared of what will become

Of the heart’s evolution

As we revolve around the sun.


As we float on

This shabby raft of destiny

I know how fine we’ll be.


Four bobbing souls of gold

Intertwined at the seams

We’ll find security 


Like a turtle into its shell

Aware of what will become

Of the heart’s evolution

As we revolve around the sun.

Over

 I’m over it.


Downhill from here , ol chum

Cold

 I want to 

Be comforted

And consoled

But for some reason 

You’re so cold.


As I age

And see my light fade

I look to you

But you’re so cold.


When The timing’s right

To heat up the night

I must ask

But you’re so cold.


What I want

What I need

Inflict more pain

After the deed


I can’t align

With your vibes 

And sadness grows

Evermore each day.


The rift began

So slowly

But soon strikes

In ways swift.


I hate asking

So emasculating

To beg, plead, and coerce but

 be turned away.


I feel numb

To your touch

Because you’re so cold


But it hurts more every time.

Patter

 The pitter patter of little feet

Searching to and fro

For something yummy to eat


When they are gone

How I miss them so

Without them

I wouldn’t know where to go.

 Love overflows, so gold,  like a rolling ray of sunshine. so divine kissing dew who knew how weak but so strong love can be, righting wrongs, composing songs, it’s magical.  This babe so sweet like a marshmallow treat, I’m in love.  Congrats and her I can’t wait to meet!

Car Chase

 I’ll tell you about one of the wildest PG-rating days I’ve ever seen. I used to carry in the projects in Richmond, Virginia, 23223.  It was a light day so I was out there early.  At 08:45 am, I was into my first relay when I first heard coming my way Detroit muscle revving followed by distant sirens, thinking ‘Oh, boy.  This oughta be good.’ I then saw two cop cars chasing a white Charger, and they were flying!  I kept going and caught up with Mrs. Williams, who had been living there for five decades, about an hour later.  She told me, “Them boys gonna hear it from me for waking me up.  A girl needs her beauty sleep.”  She had me cracking up.

Addict

 I am an addict

But 

Aren’t we all


From the drinks 

to the attention

We’re all bound to fall


Life is what life brings

With flowers so sweet

And days so searing


We’ll do all we can

To achieve chemicals 

So the heart sings


I struggle with drink

And chewy plant


I once thought,

‘I’ll sub drink with herb,’


But found myself 

In a ménage a trois

So seductive

So alluring


I can stop

Said every addict

Until it was too late


But knowledge glows

Only from the throes

Of pain and life aligned


So

Here we are

Just another day


In my life

When I think

There’s gotta be another way


I’ll quit 

The downers and uppers

The alcohol and the caffeine

Everything that brings joy

And everything in between 


To build a stronger life

One with wisdom

Acquired from strife


To be a better model 

For J and P.


Tomorrow begins day one.


No caffeine, no booze, no herb


Wish me luck
