Poetry

Drake Drunk

The first time I saw you, I wanted you

The first time I saw you, I saw you wanted me

We spent the rest of the time figuring out why

With every laugh, every smile, every glance, every touch, every… pause

Overdraft

I’m beyond tapped out.

My debt has debt

There’s not even lint in pockets

The only thing in my palm is sweat.

I’m maxed out and overcommitted

Invitation

Can we go somewhere quiet

Where we can exchange verses over a cocktail?

You can tell me your stories, your truths and your dreams. I can tell you about my flaws, my fantasies, the way I push against the very seams of myself.

Classanova

When the lighting gets really low and nice.

And the shadows play across your face

Our eyes keeping us locked in one place

It’s time to let it all go and roll the dice

Lost & Found

You left something behind when you left last night.

It was your essence, your aroma, your vibe, your light.

I lay there like a drunk,

stupid and in a daze

P. I.E.

Perhaps I exist and none of this is fake

Maybe I’m real, and the sky’s blue as a lake.

Maybe I’m here with you and not in a dream

Things are going well, moving ahead at full steam

The Art of Self-Sabotage:

Wanted:

Suspect is 6’2”

Athletic build

Brown skin with long curly hair

Tortoise frame glasses and a birthmark..

Hump Day

It’s hump day and it’s raining

Stuck in the midst of the week

The weekend is close enough to taste

But still too far for us to speak

Energy is at a premium

Do You Believe in Love/Afterlife?

I believe in Love like I believe in God.

I mean I want to believe there’s a power behind it all,

But her sense of humor is a bit odd.

Mister and Missus

We’re all here for you

So let’s all have a toast

I’ve known you both for so long

I’ve forgotten who I like the most

I’m kinda a writer now
