You're that song
I would love to hear again and again.

No matter how much time passes
You'll always be my favorite song

Dope

The universe likes to dope
every now and then,
not alot of folks know that.
We speak sign language
through daps and nods &
our presence can never be ignored.
Not once do we ever look up.
But we break down our stress in myrrh
and roll it up loud in frankincense.
The sun and the moon must think it's cool
cause to exist in a time like this is some
trippy shit.
Not once do we look up but rely on
astronomers to tell us what we already know.
No matter where you are
Little colored child, no matter where you are.
Nothing can keep you down.
A little less known fact,
The universe likes to dope every now and then.
But when it sits back and takes a moment on the couch.
Then comes the revelation.
We are the stars they look up to and admire
& When you sit back and think.
That's some dope shit

-

& when I laugh with you
I love how genuine
the sound.
Not everyone understands how
Important,
how good it feels
To be with someone
that understands
How important just
being there is.
But again,
Not everyone knows
how important
It is to just bask in a moment
To just shut the hell up
and lose control

Bilingual

Fear is a language
all on its own.
Although broken, we understand soon
as we hear it.
No matter how well spoken
No matter how intuitive or savvy
We sabotage ourselves well after the
moment has passed.
I stepped outside of myself when I met
you.
Bilingual & open,
No matter how far you move or I.
I'll always remember you
I've memorized you in my heart
Where fear does not exist

Red Joysticks

Through the red joysticks
And white & blue slap buttons.
Without the advancement of memory cards
Or weird split screens to
distract.
My last life is always the one
I save for you,
Through the experience points
and colorful gems
There’s much more to explore.
My first wow, my first time, my next again
& Again.
No matter how many times
I feel like I lose,
You’re the reason I always get back up.
My initials fill all ten slots of your heart,
Until you're decommissioned and pulled
Out of stock.
There they will always remain

-

I was fluent in speaking you
from head to toe

-

I wore her like a tattoo
The ink of her breath
rebellious,
Permanently etched
on my arm.

In time, meaning
changes
In time, ink
dries

Everything she stood for,
The cultural difference
of where she left her mark.
Her tongue consensual
the way it licked the side of my neck.
Her mark, everlasting
& I craving for more

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

& When I think of you
I think of you with pride.
A mold of clay edged and round
In the shape of you.
My one desire found each and every
time I look at you.
Dare I say love. My best friend.
Though we may not understand
God always has a plan.
The darkest hour before the light
of a day that could end at any moment.
It's moments like this that make us
appreciative.
My hopes, my dreams.
The light of anticipation hitting every curve
of your face.
The stretch of your body,
Things I know I'll never forget.
& When I think of you
I think of God's plan and how impossible
It could have been anybody else but you.
Something that I sincerely hope you
know that I'll never take for granted.
My hope, my deep down,
My best friend, my sunshine on a cloudy day

-

No matter what
dress you wear;
What accessories
you pick to dangle
Off your wrists.
No matter how you
fix your hair,
Or how much
the public adores you.
I am completely
comfortable
in how
Comfortable you are
without these things.
I never sleep too hard
when you're around
