Dirty Roses

(OCTOBER 4, 2016)

Hi, mister

It is 10:06 p.m. on a cold Tuesday evening

And I am contemplating on either writing you

or not writing you.

Not because I am indecisive but because my pride says no

But to be writing this, that pride I disobeyed.

I worry for you, for you have met a psychotic attraction

With hair made of wool

Skin made of gold

Shoulders made of rest

Hands made of time

Eyes brown from the rising of the sun

Body crafted by the hands of God

Smells like lavender from a strange country

Speaks with a different wave of serenity

From that strange country

I hope you are well

I apologize for any splendorous discomfort

It was never my intention to linger

Through your mind during unexpected times

I never said this smile knew the meaning of boundaries

I am just a Rasta-style flower child

With a gold soul made from glory, tranquility, and nonconformity

So my dentition has a life of its own

Nevertheless, I too deserve an apology

Since boundaries are no longer words

An apology from your whole being

From everything that you are

Your magnificent figure

Your warm smile

Your blood-rushed look

Your melting touch

Your lips on my ocean

Your manliness that makes me moan after every thrust

Your grip on every bounce of my areola

Your tender intensity

Your erotic physique

Your sincere embrace after each time we lay down to pause for rest

Hi, mister

It is 11:36 p.m. on a cold Tuesday evening

And all I seek is your warmth

Not because warmth seized from every direction

But because your warmth is what I request to kindle my goddessry.

Come to me

Let us roll roses, smoke them

Drink all night

Forget every existence of pain

Let the Aikos, the Weekends, and the Miguels,

Lyric their soft vibrations into our veins

Let us dance all night

Make me smile

Make me laugh

Create new surprises

Let me straddle your mind

Think less, feel more
