Lonely Night

1 is the magic number,
tonight i lack slumber
so i wonder
why on this night undercover
do i seek to be held by another,
happy with myself by myself
but i long to be held close by another
who is softer, my comforter
but not my blanket,
though i am kept warm by her,
her scent is like aromatherapy
relaxing every last particle in me.
where is she?
where could she be?
in her bed thinking of me?
laying awake just like me?
daydreaming of being in my arms,
snuggling under the heat with me?
unfortunately 1 is the magic number,
i alone,
she alone,
one specially
spiritually,
soulfully
designed for me.

the neo-soul tries to lullaby,
but i am wise to the disguise
of keeping my mind occupied
on what i do not have.
a lover here with me,
Jill Scott talking about her crown royal
and i rise to get a glass of moscato
wishing i was on the giving end,
the receiving end
of a glamorous diamond shining bright
in this darkness that i sit in,
wondering when,
when will it be my time to shine
with my bling bling on my arm,
not a rock
but a person worthy of singing love songs to me.
Chrisette Michelle is too far away,
i need someone closer
to whisper this kind of floetry to me,
my soul is on fire with desire,
i am hard wired for love to transpire,
my need is dire,
tonight i am the tagged crier,
i am it,
frozen by the touch of loneliness,
doomed to remember as i look to my left,
look to my right and see that
there is still emptiness.

Transluscent

It is as bright as translucent light
I have gotten a new sight
a vision of happiness
visions of jubilee
visions of glee
loud & tumultuous as the raging sea
I have given in to the plea
to live life lavishly
to laugh in agony
finding the humor in some of life philosophies
sum difficult & murky
others as deadly as scurvy
I used to b cliche
I once was topsy-turvy
God has revealed to me my secret
He has revealed to me my purpose
it took 36 years for me to give birth to this
throughout all that time I was a living witness
an active participant to all that transgressed
I thought my life was a mess
till I realized how I was truly blessed
spoiled royalty
getting all I desired but didn't know it
the camouflage cloaked it
the flesh uncovered it
I empowered it
I can see the conglomerate
it was a carpenter that built it
the nails were hammered to it
the cross was carried through it
I saw the light in darkness
where my soul was filled with carnage
the smiles release me from bondage

On a Distant Planet

I am floating slowly,
moving upward gradually,
looking down on the beautiful scenery that is earth,
I am moving upward above the clouds into the darkness,
into the firmament,
holding hands with the stars
gradually moving further from the planet.
My destination is planet Solo
where the image of you runs in slo-mo
through my mind incessantly,
here there's no space nor time,
our love is an in-kind donation to our hearts,
this is where we continue, w
here our love is forever and our embrace shall never part.
The landscape is the essence of beauty,
tall hanging greenery,
a vast floral scent & colors encompasses the hills and valleys,
the clear blue green waters of the oceans and lakes invite serenity.
There are butterflies of many hues
fluttering and whispering past our ears
and the birds are singing the ballads of love in a tranquil tune.
Welcome to your planet,
where the Sweet nectar from the fruits nourishes our physical bodies,
communication between you and I feeds our brains,
the soft warm flow of H2O cleanses in the form of rain.
We are in our romantic domain
where kisses & hugs are required
and where our hearts together remain!
