1d

city of flips

he introduces himself
saying quiet, but slipping in, firm:

“something he knows for sure,
no is no”

I, (19, f)

replying, smiling
saying louder, firmer:

“something she knows for sure,
yes is yes”

and he says

“yes, ma’am,”

returning her smile, so shyly,
while blushing, so loudly,
thinking he said something dumb,
looking down at his shuffling feet,
covered in worn out cowboy boots

I like this guy
I like this man.

Khoisan 1d

Because of His grace - Double Tanka.

I give in my soul
empathy sympathy grace
It is my life goal
come hell even high water
I shall not stain your carpet
neither steal a dime
hard Times have it's own reward
the battle is won
gifts to the rich and the ***
therefore your will I succumb

Khoisan 3d

East of the bridge

In
life we live
only as far
as
the
eye can see
barring our own mistakes
beg for forgiveness
restore respect
and
maintain your integrity

YOUR STARSHINE

The sky has seen all versions of you.

It sees you when you are brave and strong,
Also, it sees you when you are a complete mess, falling apart at the seams,

And yet, the stars still shine brightly for you at night, because you are beautiful.
And no matter where you are at, you are worth it.

Just remember that during the times you break and are at your lowest.
You are worth the good things.

The stars shine for you, even when you are a mess.
They believe in you
I believe in you.

Askance

Though I have done you bad
it's in the past
You are my miracle
you are
what I pray for
as God is my witness.

Flesh and bone

I am not a clOne

Khoisan 5d

And the Moonlight lingers on.

Two fireflies hover
SHoTS ring out
A
Misty haze
expels
platonic gaze
.
In lieu
of
fanning
you
should've
left me hanging
.

Friends shouldn't be lovers ?
