Who are you on 02/22/22?

February 22, 2022 ~ ~M ~ 13 Comments

Are you a filler or a drain,
a booster or a pain?

Are you a happy kind of bloke,
or the kind people wanna choke?

Are you a friendly, loveable lassie
or labeled as overwhelming sassy?

Do you make people wanna roll their eyes,
or is your demeanor full of cheery surprise?

Do you always get booed at first glance,
or does your presence seem to brighten and enhance?

Are you loved for merely being you,
or do others get disturbed by your view?

Are you able to face the reality of who you are,
or does the truth seem frighteningly bizarre?

I met a man…

August 7, 2021August 6, 2021 ~ ~M ~ 24 Comments

I met a man
Tall n skinny
Ebony skin
Eyes new guinea

His rough hands
Overlapped my own
Wide smiles
Set the tone

Kindness felt
Filling my heart
Sad at last
When we did part

Never even
Caught his name
Moments like these
Never leave us the same

You seem different lately

You seem different lately
Resolved
Like you won’t dare budge
Because whatever it is
That thing you’ve decided
You’re now instead
Resolute
That’s exactly what you are
And it’s interesting
Because I thought you were doing
Just fine
You know – the way you were before
Funny thing is
You’d never admit
You’ve changed
That you’re anything different
Than what you’ve always been
But I see through
All that nonsensical jibber jabber
And you have changed
I know it
I see it
Because I know you
So believe it
Or not
Because I know you like to believe
What you believe
You seem different lately
And you are
