a little love poem

2/13/2017

0 Comments

 
I want to hold you like sacred space
Like the prayers of the little girl I used to be
before life made miracles seem impossible
I want to kiss you like hopeful
Like the anything I believed in before humanity
taught me how to bleed
Can I just be the need you actually want
The lover that doesn't turn into a memory of regret
I don't want to be a memory,
but I want to be a part of them
I want to be the someone behind your smile
The dancer you share moonlight with
Let's make love the stage our hearts will applaud
at the climax of forever
And we will perform the encore
for the rest of our lives

No Return

It's not that I have forgotten you
It's just that when you left & closed the door behind you,
I ripped open my chest
& hid the key beneath my ribcage
That way I could remember how painful it was to love you
And not to go back

Kiss me like summer...
Back when the streets were safe...
Before paper soldiers
and Scarface wanna BEs
littered the block

Becoming (Working Title)

5/11/2014

While soul searching,
I tripped into your world
Fell in love with the way your lips
released your voice
I fell for the hope in you
the light lacing stars on the tip of your tongue
the way you walked rhythm into blues
the way you cried sunset on every horizon
the way you cuddled my breath like future
the way you wrote silence so loudly
down my spine,
and  reminded me of beautiful
the way you said my name
like the falsetto of a love poem
You took me to forever and back again
so I could feel us on repeat
Your fingertips took me to heaven
and let the neighbors hear the God in me
My heartbeat murmured your name
So sweetly, you showed me motion
rocking...
rolling...
And I no longer felt like myself...

I felt like us ...

Late Night Conversations

Late night conversations
about what we would do if we could do...
some thangs
Some unholy thangs that pull the religion from our throats
that choke moans from our brown bayous
that mix like head boards and R. Kelly in the rain
that pour
that fill
that spill into fantasies being pimped out by our hearts ...

On loneliness

3/6/2014

And when the loneliness sets in
on a power trip about possessing the world, 
you may cry for the moment...
But when tomorrow finds you,
so will the opportunity to love someone
who loves you back...

Clip from "chemistry" (oN hONESTLY CD)

"I may never know how you slipped hope into my back pocket
and convinced it I was worth more than a glimpse
Even though you know I reek of mishaps and mistakes…
worry and worthlessness…
But you embrace my flaws like desperate hands holding flyers
of missing children"

-Melanie YeYo Carter-
