Dreams in the Morning... p0Em

Envy Creeps

At the

Thought of a bond so sweet

Sensual imagery

Taking the place

Of imaginable reality

Seeking a desired taste

Something like

Lovable caramel

Savoring the notion

On where you lips may dwell

Tongues making love

Abandoning

Guiltless places above

Getting down

Luscious sounds

Your tongue making love to my lips

Feeding

Off of gyrating hips

From a simple peck

Irresistibly

Touching every nerve

In neurotic bliss

Pleasurably alone

Until a delightful delivery

Jealousy

Takes control

Wanting the enchanted allusion

In which my mind holds

The anticipated adoration from you

Enjoyed sorrow

Feeling blue

Embraced by your soul

Carefully holding me

Affectionately kissed

In daydreams

To Sir With Love... (Poem)

Some things are never what they seem

In the beginning

Commitment

In no way your dream

Having me without the strings

Currently you want to wife me

Marriage is not my reality

Look at me

Did you neglect to study?

My hair is jet black

With light brown roots

Does that make me fake?

Because you didn’t pay attention

To authenticity

Your eyes focused on the beauty

Such a beautiful thing

To be adorned

You were captured

But you tried to keep me

Picked from a bed of roses

Not in your garden

Yet, I was put in your territory

Yes I’m a rose

Of many colors

But my thorns are prickly

Hug…but not tightly

Causing hearts to bleed

I’m so very sorry

And I say that sincerely

Like many woman I do have a dream

My fantasy is not happily ever after

I don’t want you forever

Our time can last a second

And in an instant

Another moment begins

Keep your mind on now

You don’t lose, you win

My affection

My attention

Got you lost in translation

Didn’t mean for you to fall in love

A hole you will be in by yourself

My image in there

Is only an illusion

Lover’s confusion

I stay on the surface

Gazing at love

Climbing in, is just not worth it

It’s a trap

and I’m claustrophobic

I find you irresistible

Devoted

And keen on the notion

Of pleasing you boy

But don’t go falling in love

I’m only here for you to

Enjoy

My Heart is kept in Harlem

His fingers caressed the ivory


Concentrating on the motions of the slow beat

Heartless tunes gliding effortlessly

Hitting back to black

Smoke filled clouds surrendering it to me

Senseless suffocating static

Attacks

Lung collapsing movement towards he

I begin to play his keys like the music in his eyes

Feverishly gliding up and down his spine

Gyratory harmonious bodily soliloquy

Embracing the pain

A Blues for Him

A Blues for Him


from when midnight trains
and magic carpet rides
guided me to your eyes


I loved you…


Pouring rain slid off
my soul
waterproofed by
slicked skin oiled by your smoothness


I embraced your touch
Fingertips upon me until the wetness of my purity
blessed you


deeply you stuck you longevity of diction
with hopes of we
certainly not
but certainly,
I am the fool
still loving you…loving me


sucking on erect notions pointing out the fact
that comfort smothers the brain


and hearts beat still without breaths
panting and talking less
thinking more to undress
down to my nakedness


as you stare at the bare truth
desiring images of lust filled thoughts of who
loving me without me loving you

cant you see or sense my plea
inviting you to feel me… beyond my blues
