The outer world has drifted
away into a nonexistent
dimension, while the inner
world hovers in silence,
waiting for its counterpart
to return.

I was wrong to make
him love me in the dark.
I knew he wasn’t ready,
but the craving and passion
within me longed to unite
with his dynasty.

He ignores me every time I look his way,
sunken spaces and motionless vibes,
a sky of unmoving shadows lost in the
distance, disintegrating, floating on
chilled thoughts.

I can feel the jumbled diction hanging
in the air, sluggish consonants blown
off course, cracking, bladed, a silent
depth with no flight.

And as much as I try to get his attention,
he pulls further and further away from
my soul.  The outer existence within his
canvas is cold and dark, while the inner
existence within me is dazed and wandering.

It was New Year's day, and the
sun was shining upon the
cityscape.  The clouds were vagrant
white and pleasing.  Down the street
past the flourishing shopping centers,
there were vibrant crowds of people
walking across the sparkling sidewalks.

It was Friday afternoon, and we were
sitting outside at an extravagant café.
You were dressed in your stylish
FashionNova and glittering high heel
boots.  I was wearing my VanHeusen
button up shirt, brown khakis, and
dashing dress shoes.

Our bodies were in the perfect
synchronization, a graceful
posture full of desire and new
beginnings.  I could see in your
sky bright eyes that you were
fascinated by my frame, the
movement of my lips as I
spoke such sweet words
to your astonishing beauty.

It was our first date, the start
of something spectacular that
would evolve into an exhilarating
and timeless chapter of our lives.
I watched your every motion, how
your flesh shined in the light, how
your world seemed to glisten like
the seas.

Every part of me was sinking inside
your nation, the razzle-dazzle and
beautiful blushes, the tender lips
and smooth thin hands, as I longed
to breathe in your exquisite fragrance.

The bossy earrings were gleaming in
sight.  The long flowing hair was rising
gently in the wind.  I wrote your amazing
poetry inside my mind, letting it's incredible
diction illuminate the inner realm of
my domain, let it open my world
to a glorious delight, as we engaged
with exciting conversations over
a glass of hot mocha and sensuous
thoughts.

The way she struts through the cityscape
amazes me in the brilliant ways, her
fashion style and sophistication is beyond
its time, seamless stances and elegant
smiles, she is a dazzling diamond inspiring
the various people around the world.
She is a beautiful mother of two wonderful
kids, Malia and Sasha.  She is a magnificent
wife and a blossoming rose rising in the
iridescent light.  She is married to the
distinguished gentleman, Barack Obama,
who is truly an inspiration to the masses.  She
is a very smart and intelligent woman who knows
her worth and what to stand for.  The way she
utilizes her words is gloriously breathtaking.
She has a bright personality and a stunning face,
a rhythm of great taste, remarkable depth and
a Courageous role model.  She is full of vivacity
and compassion, strength and sincerity, the worlds
First Lady to enter the White House.  She is the
astonishing author of the outstanding book entitled,
Becoming.  She is the extraordinary Michelle Obama,
who was born in Chicago and rose to the top.

I can hear the waves yelling in
the horizon, deep tightened
syllables swirling into darkness,
flooded and drifting, blistered
and sunken in pain, the collapsed
closed conjunctions crushing into
jammed underground cells.  Down
by the beach house the strong breeze
blows through the cityscape, a
haunting existence surfacing
around the twirling trees and power
lines.  I can see the shadows of a
love I once knew hovering in the
somber space, the same chalky
taste, smashed eyes and cheeks
smelling of burning liquor and
dingy cigarettes.  And as I
gaze into the face of his crimson
cloaked continent, viscous verbs
swelling and exploding into chaotic
awakenings, there was a salty drunken
thought rumbling inside my brain,
reminding me that as much as I wanted
to escape, his damaged love still
haunts me everywhere I go.

I struck a match and watched
the flames smother your
scarlet smoked poetry scattered
on the darkened ground.  I told
myself that I was finished this
time around and I'd never go
back into your raging blazed
affection.  I remember the
pain I carried inside my soul,
the lonely days and nights I
sat on the couch smoking
a pack of cigarettes over
blackened beats, flicking
embers in the stained grey
ashtray, inhaling the
shattered shadows
surrounding my crumpled
body.  The swollen chemistry
was cracking my cheeks,
heartbroken diction over
diminishing metaphors, as I
gazed out the window at the
unmoving trees and distant
leaves, the sky falling apart
beyond my smashed frame.
At one time I did love you
more than anything in the
world, but I see now that
we can no longer be.
And as I stood in the
backyard of my home,
the sizzling flames burning
with no remorse, crackling
and popping, exploding and
disturbed, there was a calm
feeling settling inside of me,
a vivid light opening my eyes
for the very first time.
