When we’re together, I need moments for time to stand still,

Nothing seems to matter more than us holding each other at will

Feeling trembles that electrify

Run down my neck and spine

So fine!–I’ve come to find,

How amazingly this love refines

Sweet chocolate skin that blends so well with mine,

Communicating in expressions our love language defines,

My usual, reserved nature, replaced with animalistic ego,

How far we climb to reach this peak, only we know,

Becoming each other’s sole, sensual, source of gratification,

Yelling words and phrases, as if we are finding salvation,

Becoming witness to an explosive feeling,

Affiliated in our physical and spiritual healing,

Touching sweet spots that melt when hot,

Savoring this span of time, until exhaustion makes us drop.

They tell me not to worry about my future

Leave everything to chance

If it happens it’s meant to me, if not, it must not have been God’s plan

But every second of day

I find myself daydreaming away

Creating visions and “impossible” goals

Trying to fit together the pieces of my soul

I try and tried again to make my vision come to light

I’ve been laughed at, discouraged along the way, and sometimes lost the fight

But still, for some reason, I can’t stop dreaming

And this desire in my soul is telling me to keep reaching

I don’t know how long it’ll take me to make it there,

How many more times I have to fall,

But as long as this fire burns, I can’t sit still at all

Can’t afford to put my dreams in a box and let it sit

I know God wants better for me than this.

I’ve also come to realize that one thing consistent in life is change.

It comes whether you want it to or not, and once it passes life’s never the same.

Like the waves of the deepest, bluest ocean,

Life is designed to remain in motion,

And whether you ever learn the embrace your whole truth or not,

Time will never stop.

Eve Remembering 

1

I tore from a limb fruit that had lost its green.
My hands were warmed by the heat of an apple
Fire red and humming.
I bit sweet power to the core.
How can I say what it was like?
The taste! The taste undid my eyes
And led me far from the gardens planted for a child
To wildernesses deeper than any master’s call.

2

Now these cool hands guide what they once caressed;
Lips forget what they have kissed.
My eyes now pool their light
Better the summit to see.

3

I would do it all over again:
Be the harbor and set the sail,
Loose the breeze and harness the gale,
Cherish the harvest of what I have been.
Better the summit to scale.
Better the summit to be.

There will never be another like Toni Morrison….
