Beautiful Man (No. 3) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. Healing is a process clearly... whatever that was that we were doing... No regrets- we saw it coming... we absolutely always knew... and I'm clearly doing well... with all the things no longer true--- but clearly today our wake up ritual hardest not to do... oddly missing eye boogers and gravel throat bed head and stank breath naked conversations bathroom giggles and daily first thoughts of you

Clarifying Healing From A Useless Love Affair
Assata... raged against the machine and thus most wanted in the America that she was forced to escape... lived rebellious... and revolutionary died barefoot... and bilingual... aged gracefully... surrounded by the ocean hibiscus, passion fruit and mango trees... with wind-blown hair and sun-kissed skin and the taste in her mouth of Freedom

Rest My Love
I have not won. but still i am winning... should this beast ultimately prosper... until then...I love ultimately... and that ambers my aura and trees lean toward me deer and rabbits... still... and stare squirrels lay in my path and birds sit on the windowsill... and look inside to see the sunlight

Stages (No. 3)
I am not an inspiration or counselor and I dont have it in me yet... to talk an addicted stranger back to life... I dont have the energy, nor do I have the know-how to convince her to love herself enough to conquer the beast that is devouring her from the inside out... ...and from all current indications will surely be her demise... I am winning... but this **** is so hard... and my own **** is too fresh... and I clearly peep the addict's inadvertent and purposeful "I can quit whenever I want to" self-delusion with a detached ear... as she scours the beer shelf for that with zero alcohol... because her beast has a monkey on it's back... ...she must find her own light

Stages (No. 2)
I have not won. tho i am winning... have not spiritually shifted from "terminal" to **** i beat it" cuz there is still   red blood on the battlefield... and sometimes still   white blinding pain and grey exhaustion and confusion and green pus and brown ***** and spasms and   anguish and golden diarrhea and the slate blue tone of unrelenting totality...

Here Comes Trouble
There is no magic potion Or Spell or Hex required No Doctrine  Or Approbation Or Degree to be acquired There is no formula or recipe Modus Operandi  Ritual or Rite No red tape  No routine No code words to recite You can bring your baggage  Or leave it Or I can help you to retrieve it And unpack it Or unload it Me of mine You’ll help relieve it It’s just love Baby… It’s not so hard to do Just to me bring  The very thing That I convey to you Just love me Baby… It’s not so hard to do Just to me bring  The very thing That I convey to you

Just Love
Us... With The Rest Of The Unfinished Poems ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a secret box on a high shelf in the locked closet of my mind is where I keep my dreams of me and you... me comfy living in your too big shirt you bare chested and doing what you do... smiling softly in my direction simmering gazes and kisses in passing while...  at our table in our special space... I quietly watch quiet you and write poems... simple and hazy and softly lit dreams of things that we will never do... For me only... in the treasured place of my unfinished poems and my rhymes that don't rhyme is where I keep my dreams of me and you

Beautiful Man (No. 1)
I am in love with a tender and brilliant muhphucka ("thassa smart muhphucka right there") that sees the solar system within his reach and the rings of Saturn immense on the horizon he activates my soullll.... and my imagination~ cuz in the minds eye i truly truly also see them shining exactly where he so eloquently pointed lined up and right there... I am in love with a man that will pack a spinnanight bag and map a journey to the earths core... my activated soul don't want him to go... scared he won't come back to me... ima wrap these thighs around him and hold him inside me til this need, again, passes... it might be selfish but **** it... the earth's core don't need him like i do...
