Just Sit In The Truck (I Got This)
If you got Nuthn to say when I'm under attack
Keep that same mouth closed when I take a swing back
If you claim your name "Wes" and you don't check your boy
Then don't get in this mess when I show "I'm not a toy"
If you say you ain't "in it" Cuz your name is Bennett
Don't you dare look my way Just cuz I start to "win it"
If you don't speak up for me, or defend me, when others come against me Don't say a MuthaFukkn word about how or when I defend myself
You cannot tell me what I'm allowed...

To The Woman Who Asked What I Meant
What I want
is to be your Man
I wish to be your choice
and preference
when sexual satisfaction is the thing you seek
I wish to be that person with whom you feel most protected and unafraid when in the face of danger
With me
is where I want you to be the most relaxed and comfortable
as you refresh,
recharge,
and reboot
I want to be that person with whom you feel safest from judgement and condescension when you indulge in the free expression of your innermost thoughts and ideas
I will try not...

EROTIC POEM

Every Tyme
Every time I touched you
The trembling within me felt like God running His fingers across my soul
Your caress brought my spirit to life
Like B.B. King's hands upon the strings of Lucille made music from thin air
Contact with you flooded my heart with beautiful feelings which never fully faded
even when the touching stopped
Mind kept full of beautiful thoughts
Brain and body,
both looking anxiously forward
to the next time the touching would begin
I knew
that what was in me was something good
Just...
The trembling within me felt like God running His fingers across my soul
Your caress brought my spirit to life
Like B.B. King's hands upon the strings of Lucille made music from thin air
Contact with you flooded my heart with beautiful feelings which never fully faded
even when the touching stopped
Mind kept full of beautiful thoughts
Brain and body,
both looking anxiously forward
to the next time the touching would begin

Telling The World What I See
Ma'am
You are absolutely gorgeous in a way that had to be intentional
I guess the Lord just felt like showing off when he got to you
One thousand ways to describe the Sun's rise
Many ways to tell of love as I look in your eyes
A thousand and one expressions
for the beauty of a rose
A hundred forms of poetry,
speech, song, and prose
Fifty different languages
Each as musical as the next
Tanka, Limerick, or Sonnet
about stroking your soft neck
Swahili, Urdo, or Pashto
in a lilting,...

Aggressive Affectionate
Hey! Yo! Come here girl!
You get on my nerves
Yet you are my world
Hey! Yo! Come here boy!
I can't stand your Ass
Yet you are my joy
Yo! Heifer! Come hold my hand!
Things bout you is sicknin'
Yet you make me a better man
Yo! N___A!! What you done now?!?
But you pull us thru hard times
When I don't see how!
Damn It, My Lady!!
What you got goin on?!?
Don't quite understand you
But you've never steered me wrong
Look here, My Brutha!!
You best watch your tone!! ...

I and You
Sitting beside the lake
Watching hens swim with drakes
'Neath the boughs of a yew
As a gentle breeze blew
We took sup of warm stew
Upon grass topped with dew
While we sipped potent brew
It got dark ere we knew
The sky full of stars
As if with glitter bestrew
That bright twinkle in your eye
Kindled hearts' flames anew
I felt love in my bones
And in every sinew
Fully caught up in you
As we sat 'neath that yew
Rays shimmering 'pon the waters
Like the...

Twin Suns Shine Brighter
Some folks speak poorly of those Ladies who "proclaim their acclaim" and "toot their own horns"
But why?!?
Are loud, brash, outspoken, and challenging women a bad thing?
Are they trying to run Shit?
Or is this gorgeous "rah-rah girl" simply in search of her equal or slight superior?
Is she a problem?
Or is she Top Shelf?
Is she over the top wit it?
Or just a woman who knows and proclaims her worth while seeking that one who matches her best?
Matches her energy, her freak,...

Lonely Silence
MLK, Jr. has a quote along these lines, "It is not the words of our enemies that we remember most painfully, but the silence of our friends"
The over-50 me understands this much more clearly than did the 25 yr old me.
And here is my addition to this wisdom.
"It is not fear of attack/punishment/condemnation from outsiders which stay my hand or cause me anguish; it is the knowledge that members of my own group will stand aside, and do nothing, leaving me at the mercy of those who would do me harm.

Why I Write
Got a reason for speakn
For telling what I tell
Got a goal in my mind
When I'm selling what I sell
Got a Spark in my Soul
And it comes from the Divine
Got a message for myself
to seek the truth that's really mine
Making sense of these words
as they flutter thru my mind
Taking life as it comes
Discovering the peace I seek to find
For telling what I tell
Got a goal in my mind
When I'm selling what I sell
Got a Spark in my Soul
And it comes from the Divine
Got a message for myself
to seek the truth that's really mine
Making sense of these words
as they flutter thru my mind
Taking life as it comes
Discovering the peace I seek to find

V is For...
Vulnerability,
and also,
for Violence
Which many default to when accused of the former
A knee-jerk reaction based upon fear
misplaced, and often, incorrect
I believe Vulnerability is a tender spot,
Like an ancient manuscript it is easily damaged if mishandled,
but full of wonderful wisdoms and best protected by a loved one's careful touch
Not the same thing as Weakness,
Which as an inability to protect oneself
And requires an aggressive self-protection
'cause others may seek it

Government is a Scam
Government is a sanctioned shell game that lets contributing and controlling businesses make gobs of money out the wazoo while sticking "it" deep into me and you
Well Damn It's a Scam
Whether by truck, plane, or tram
Do crime against Big Business
And with Fed Tyme you'll be slammed
Reagan "fired" striking air traffic controllers
Canada's Prime Minister "intervened" against the railroad workers
Biden "took an interest" and "offered assistance" for Teamsters and rail workers to find resolution...
