I drink coffee
                  She prefers tea
           together we make the perfect

               buzz.

A poem in response to Maddie Henssler's poem "Happy buzz buzz".

He's the smoker
                        I'm the drinker but together
              we make the perfect

                                 buzz.
I pack the bags beneath my eyelids, off to sleep.

Love is never average when I am with you.
When I say I love you I mean:
I take you into my heart,
My desires,
pain and suffering,
Longing,
My dreams are full of your dedication,
What I mean by I love you is:
I gather up the physics of your footsteps,
Calculate your directions,
Analyze your pace,
The arc plane of which your hair falls,
I measure love in:
The beauty of your voice,
The conciliatory effect it has into the art of my body,
The soul train of your rhymes,
Your rhythm,
how they reverberate between the walls of my ears,
How you pinball between cerebral sections that cause me to taste the half notes between the bars of your lips,
I feel love by:
You holding my waist,
Gripping me to safety,
Letting my hips and thighs and cheekbones my rounded jawline,
That the the gaps between your fingers can be filled with my curves.
What I mean by I love you is:
The distortion of my hyper ****** drive to mute into intimacy.
Not to disperse,
But to love.
To lift control to the surface,
To caress,
not to be driven and forced,
What I mean by love is:
How I define the impact of you on me.
I imagine your mind, imagining mine,
as we imagine yours.

It wasn't us that cracked the whip of history, we were the licks of an imposter.
We were the shame,
and the honest savior.
For us,
Self pity doesn't exist,
Guilt is a motif of our race.
I talk about race constantly. Everyday in history class. It's makes me feel like a target, all of the shame and guilt and pain is put on me, personally it makes me uncomfortable knowing that I am part of something that is the complete opposite of myself. I will never understand the pain of the past, but I can sill give my sympathy.

I am hidden.
The earth skips over the soles of my shoes...
I won't be the one missing the point,
But One day the earth will trip and I will be standing on it.
*Will power.
Secretly defeating other may be the only way to apply my success.
