- I know you're home safe, and spiritually boundless. I know that you'll be loved. While you're not around "Jazz", Your song will still be sung. How lucky to stumble upon, A joy not searched for. New dimensions, More love, Greater peace, Greater connection. You are a sacred tie, Linking me To Divine. With it, Learning Stewardship. Through it, Im Refined. Without him, It's hard to find That quick relief I'd always count on. God-sent, angel in bunny-form. Rejected by your momma, Something I couldn't relate to more. "Fallen down the rabbit-hole", i had been 'circling the drain'. Caught in loneliness, and sorrow But then you hopped into my life. Reminded me of my Heavenly Father's Love, you helped me hop along. You were so good to me, I even let you keep your 'balls' lol. Got me through to find my wife, with a baby almost here, fantasizing of you in our lives, to see you grow along my kids and wife. "Jazz" was taken suddenly, beyond measures of my control. I screamed, quite literally. And Wailed beyond control. That's why I've written this poem, to process all these thoughts. You meant more Than words or thoughts God only knows, what a blessing He was. RIP buddy 🙏🏽 ----------- Closing remarks; I Love you buddy, and miss you so much. I look at a picture of us every day, and still talk about you all the time. Thank you for softening my heart, and preparing me to raise my first baby-girl "Sage Elizabeth". I'm so grateful for our time together and I know I'll see your big, blue, floppy ears again someday in the eternities <3

Ode to "Jazz", my dearly-departed lop-eared rabbit, best-friend, and soul-guide.

One sip Of your poison Just one fix I'm walking out the door. I can't do this any more. Oooooh but the Devils calling me by name. Oh It's so inviting, I can never win this game. *The cycle is vicious It never remisses* Bittersweet renditions, Of the time I had it beat (?) Fooling myself too many times, How much shame is on me? Can't you see I'm grounded? Weighed down by my heavy heart? Not long before I figure out what's coming next. You got what I want (You got what I need) Can't stop holding on (I love our toxicity) Caught up (In our lust) With no chemistry (Can't stop holding on) I love our toxic energy. Around and round we go (I start to wonder) where did our love go? She's in my veins (Ooh I'm an addict) Shooting up her perfume the one habit I can't break I won't shake Over, under, in-between (Stuck under your nail) Give me just a moment with your scent I love the smell. Im fading away

Toxicity
Everyday it's the same game, And goes by the same name "running in circles for your love". But really, you're not worth the effort (get this through my head) Think you're hot **** But really, We both know better Hide your blemish But really, keep the scarlet letter. I swear I'm not bitter But really, I don't mean to blame. but really Girl I don't even hate you But really, I'm Just feelin' shame But really, (Im just getting played)

But really
What can I do to get you alone? Make my move, play it cool You know how it goes~ Wander the town, (Wondering about;) "Am I on your mind? Wastin'my patience baby, Please don't waste my time." I ain't lookin for love, I ain't lookin for trouble just some time, you and I Talking under the covers. Maybe some one on one? to get to know you better? Maybe between the sheets? Make you moan and get you.. shhhh~ Then we start to move, then we get to groovin'. Hips sync to the beat Past the peak We're still climbing Nowhere left to go This dance is all we've needed Feel the rythym flow We'll take the night and share the fever.

Let's Dance?
Back street of where I'm from Love the music, and the air. This funky taste I can't get out my mouth I want, I need. I'm begging please? Round the corner, where I grew up. This girl I'd never leave. She lights my fire, weakens my knees, an evil woman don't stop, won't stop. I get this feeling (I'm bout to blow it.) My pulse is racing (I've got to know.) I'm begging baby, wont you distract me? Run! (Running down the way.) Hand in hand, (I'm your man) I'd never leave you, (nowhere to go) You're my spirit, lover...my soul. Moments (frozen in time) Makes me think of you, in my life. Freezing and I could not care less *Just fill my lungs with your hot breath.*

Distract me
I start to realize, I go about things all wrong (Pardon my musings) But in my music I will be strong. Question my reasons, (Oh Question my all.) So full of questions **Cause all my answers seem to be so wrong** "*Try for a moment, Hear what I have to say*" My heart pleas- "*Cry just to show it, I care in so many ways*" Back again on the road, while my heart sounds Cruising on empty, no plans to slow down Where am I headed? I'm stuck in my head No room to go back, no time to relapse. Where am I headed? stuck in my head And I can't lie, And I can't hide. How do I embrace the change? Speak the truth that's in my name?

Doubt
By you I'm bitten, smitten, I'm not kidding. How you got me, Don't stop Darling, won't you stay? Four score, seven years before Knock, knock I'm knocking at your door Make it so hard to bite my tongue, Lower my guard, *crumble at the sight of your face.* Just one taste. Cause I've been fiendin, fantasizing. Bending over back and sideways. Can't put out the fire, Wish I could deny. This girl, Brings out the beast in me. I wonder If this Wild heart will spark my defeat. Oh this girl could be the death of me I resolve, to never self sabotage. Second time around, Maybe I'm too proud. But your lips they keep me wanting, ***** hips You won't stop flaunting. Just a moment with you, (But you never let me through.) Two-tone, smile then fake it Just enough love To keep me baited. But then she said, she said *"baby it's too late, there's no maybe I've give up on you There's nothing left to do."* *"My bags are packed I'm gone tomorrow, for what you lack it brings no sorrow.* *I've given up on you, there's nothing left to do"* Every little rhyme And every reason. Colors of the year, And every season- Pales to all my fears, scared what's in the mirror. Oh, I can't take it. Can't take it no more. This girl, Brings out the beast in me. I wonder If this Wild heart will spark my defeat. Oh this girl could be the death of me I resolve... What can I learn from this?

Wild Heart
Baby did you know you're driving me wild? Lunatic style. Think insane asylum.

Love-Induced Psychosis
Make sure when I see you,   (Keep one eye on the door.) To dust off the welcome mat,  (and clean out those closets thorough) (Never know who may be watching,)   Appearances so clean. (Call it luck, or chance, or fate,)   I call it conspiracy.

Conspiracy
Let us pretend that we'll make it out alive, Stuck in the middle, show some decency or pride but not both Your reputation is at stake. Head is pounding, sound is ringing in your ear. Deaf to the music, but the dissonance is so clear. How do you plea?
