Inside...

 

Swimming in the sunset of the desert

I forgot these cares

which plague my mind

with dreams of finding

The right time

To begin

To end

To create

To mate

To be the adult that's me

Swimming reminds me of free

The weightless gravity in the flee

With shimmer dimmer

and sun gleam sparkle

And we held friendship inside

Smiling- this is who I am

This is what I can be

I trust in everything

The world is a game

and we swim inside till we die

China flowers.

I said, they grew at Baba's house.

China Lily's as I know them

Little white bells dipped in sweet

Like suckle that tickles tucked inside me

and flipped into wild free

China Lily's, that's what my Mama called them.

I don't know why

I don't know when

They grew at Baba's house.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone else

knows them like I do

And if you stop to notice the spray of aroma

like candy dipped in sugar grains

My favorite part of our yard was

picking China Lily's

and the way you looked at me then

Community? What will it be?

Do you look into you?

How can I take branches and connect them

to the trunk of their root?

Let's dance in circles and share stories

The one's where I don't know

And you never knew

Our differences don't forget us

We just suddenly appear

Like one of many

A unit of us

Strong metal melts into

pedals on a chain of flowers

Drink this divine.

Give in like a lush

You make me blush

Cool and hot I feel it stump and thump

inside my gut

I drink you and you taste me

And I do what I was afraid with you

You proved it too

I can't handle passion pulls of lust

I give way like I've been hit by a bus

I can't move I just fall right in

This puddle of drink

I swim in you and begin

Poetry is me. You know I am thee.

And this way is a way for this mind to be free

Word play takes me away-

This is how I start everyday

Because words only point to truth

but when you can play with them

you craft a new heaven

I find me after my mind spills

This is the deal

There I am.

See it to believe it
