AS I LIVE MY TIME

(Freestyle – Quick) Live my time, Do I cross the line, Someone asks me if I’m fine? I nod and flip them a dime. They try to fine me, But I’m already being wined and dined, I smirk as their faces begin to become faded, Its not like I haven’t waded, before in the swamp,…

NOSTALGIC SOUND SCAPE

Memories float along the musical highways, That clash and bang in my earways, I love the nostalgia, That leads me down memories lane.

LOVER’S GAZE

Laying here in a day dream haze, Enjoying my lover’s gaze, Holding his hand tight, Against my chest with all my might.

SONIC SOUND

Echoing amplifier, booming electric signals, To my receptors, Brain fires it’s electrons, Signaling my body to grove to the bodily beat, Like amplified heat, The sonic sound builds tempo and grace, Heating the embers of the electric slide, Dancing through the night, Till we’re drenched in midnight sweat, Melody carrying us like a kite, We…

BIGGER IN TEXAS

(I am not sponsored by this great Texas Truck Stop Gas Station, Buc-ee’s, they just inspired this poem, with my greatest respect.) Buc-ee’s the King & Queen of bathrooms, If you want a room all to yourself, Pleasent in every manner, Wide enough to enjoy yourself, And have a coffee after, Maybe some jerky will…

Oh Sleep, Why Do You Allude Me So?

Sleep alludes the strong and weak, At the most inconvenient times during the week. Tired and strung out on caffeine, To move the daily grind machine.

BREAD IN A DESERT?

Stones unturned lay scattered around, As the two walk through the desert, Hungry and exhausted, The sun bearing down, Wishing for some bread to eat, Temptation awaiting in the heat, A Devil’s whisper, “You only need to use your power.” A holy answer, “Be gone from me.”

A.M. LOVE

My partner is at her most beautiful, Early in the morning, When her hair is tussled, And her make-up sits on the bathroom counter, Her face clean, With a gorgeous smile, Enticing me to kiss her, I bask in her unpainted beauty, Giving thanks to whatever god deemed us to be.
