and oh, how love does live_2
and oh, how love does live
and breathe
and think and actlikebeauty.
but oh, how does love live?
does its heart beat
to a rhythm
of a simple african drum
or
or -does it crash like symbols
like trains
like cars
like rain up on the tin roof.
and where does love live-
is it here?

when sweet words to me are sai by anythingbutblue, literature
Literature
when sweet words to me are sai
when sweet words to me are said
a smile broadens and i try to file them carefully away
in that drawer of encouraging words in my head
where i try to so-romantically remember every-thing you say
but usually and not on occasion, i fail.
this theory invented by Jesus of loving words and deeds
is lost on me unless, of course, it comes in the form of a male.
because i will follow his handsome face anyplace he so leads.
and in this i find my own identity crisis
my own trait i would like so much to change
but right now all i have is time in short slices and dices
and i find my schedule too difficult to arrange.
forget me nots forgotten by anythingbutblue, literature
Literature
forget me nots forgotten
forget me nots forgotten
are they
promises lost behind teenage curtains
are they
conditonal sentences given
are they
are you anything else but green
and freshly livened with envy?
Following a preacher of unimaginable vision,
An ebony skin, a dark silhouette,
A bruised, yet unbroken spirit bounds
Beyond the sooty frame, beyond the kinky hair, beyond.
Bursting through layers of lifetimes of ludicrous bias
With soundless and soft touch; skin-to-skin.
Two sweating palms slide across one another
Like flint and stone
-Strike one!
Ten fingers brush and search and mingle
-Strike two!
And nervously, like a blushing bride, they interlace.
-Strike three!
One strong hand reassures the other; a small squeeze,
-A fire ignites!
Skin-to-skin, pepper-to-salt, ebony-to-ivory, black-to-white.
Unified, two joined hands wit
ill walk alone
until the sun has set
and pink the horizon becomes
ill walk alone
until the moon rises
and the silver stars begin to shine
ill walk alone
until i shiver in the cold
and the night seems almost endless
ill wal alone
until i look into the sky
and the moon falls down
ill walk alone
until the falling moon is blotted out
and the blotter is smiling
and calling my name.
