Hard to Describe
This is for every woman who got a little peeved at her man for describing her to his friends in terms of another woman
From the man-in-love perspective,
Comparison is neither insult
nor complaint
The way he compares the magnificence of the woman he has
to the best thing that other folks may have seen is a statement of pride
He is trying to describe exactly why he is so happy with her
Because he knows in his soul that no one else has in their lives that which he has in his woman
From the man-in-love perspective,
Comparison is neither insult
nor complaint

Heart Bridge
Distance between us
does nothing to diminish the love that bonds us
The words that connect us
flow freely across space
feeding the flame within the shared soul that unites us
does nothing to diminish the love that bonds us
The words that connect us
flow freely across space
feeding the flame within the shared soul that unites us

Love and Happiness
I've got everything I thought I wanted
Everything is going just fine
My woman is lovely
She loves me
She is fine
Cooks all my favorite foods
Everything she does for me
is like a Gift from the Divine
But it appears that Al Green had a point
Theft is a crime
And deception is always wrong
But a well-seared ribeye next to a hot, steaming baked sweet potato that's split deep and covered in cinnamon butter and brown sugar
(Oooh Jesus!!)
will make even a full belly rumble
and put larcenous thoughts in the heart of...

Holding Hands
Just a squeeze
To say that I'm here
Either "with you" or "for you"
Speaking to each other
But without making a sound
Holding on to this shared moment with interlocking fingers
Passing wordless messages
(I like you)
(Glad you're here)
between like minds who like each other
Letting the slipping, sliding motions of slick fingers suggest ways to touch each other even more
Once we find time and space alone
Practicing pleasurable pathways to tactile paradise
Performing ritualized romance by...

Soul-Soothing and Satisfyingly Sweet
Water is still wet
and refreshing
Even when no one is drinking it
But when the sun is beating down like Vulcan's Hammer
A smart man knows just where to go to get exactly what he needs
Dark,
Strong,
and Mysterious
Still waters run deep
With effortless beauty
Stephanie's waters run sweet
Lady,
Whether taken as drink
to quench a soul-searing thirst
or dived into headfirst
in search of relief from the scorching heat of an unrelenting Sun,
You are a fountain of the sweetest waters the Lord...

Pen Pals (Using Words in the Key of Life)
You speak love to me in my native tongue as you write from your heart
In the flow of your ink
you teach me your language
using my own words and inflections
You guide me to the sacred knowledge
of who you really are
and into the fuller awareness
of what you actually are to me
The emotions expressed in our written words
are a Lifeline
And a Baseline
that bind us together
They are an intricately interlocking, solid foundation
Keeping the two of us happily intertwined
and united
In ways...

Hair, Skin, Smile,and Face
Pecan-tan
Soft-haired
Pretty little Keshia
Girl Let me say
it's my pleasure to meet ya
With her soft,
curly-kinky,
afro-puffed strands
She does some things
that are good to this man
I walk to where you are
just to be near you
I feel like dancing
Every time that I see you
Smile like the sunshine
Voice like bells on the breeze
Quickens my breathing
and weakens my knees
Barely audible sometimes
But the sound of her every word resonates in my ears
and lifts my soul ...

Ambush Predators
State Patrol
riding the long Interstates
To add your dinner dollars
To some politician's plate
A patrolman's car next to City Hall
Making his quota for the Officer's Ball
A deputy sheriff
on a dusty back road
Taking cash from your pocket
Over some old traffic code
Waiting
Plotting
Lying in wait
No matter where you're going or why
It's the thirst for dollars they must slake
Like a hungry Lion
at a waterhole
Or a catfish
underneath a log
Like a water snake

Trying Too Hard To Sound Intellectual
Inherent pulchritude covers clueless ineptitude
Marmot
Burbot
Turbot
Bergamot
The weirdest thing
I ever saw?
A blue macaque and a blue macaw
Wrapped up in a neon blue mackinaw
Yep some folks needs to stay out the dictionary (me, mainly)
The scary part is that all these words are real
That first pompous monstrosity translates to "Natural beauty hides glaring incompetence" in real people words
Enjoy. Have a laff.
Life is brief. Make your own pompous monstrosities.

She Is What She Is, And Beautifully So
Not just Black
But Beautifully Black
A Blindingly Brilliant Blackness that absorbs all the sun's light
Perfectly
And soaks up all the attention, love, and adoration one can give to skin so lovely
And returns one thousand-fold a wonderful, visual magic more powerful than even the most fertile, imaginative mind could envision
She is that which I crave
Desire for her purifying, permeating, and flavoring the very air that I breathe
Her color igniting my hunger with every look
She is gorgeously dark
Skin glistening...

Toxic Masculinity?
To what or
To whom?
The noun itself or
The dosage?
Breathing air kills a goldfish
Lungs full of drinkable water,
will kill a human
Table salt is death to a garden slug
Yet it makes the gravy over my rice taste fantastic
Nearly as satisfying as the cube steak from whence comes its flavor
Salt does not make proper lemonade
Neither does sugar create a spicier chili
But without bravado and brashness and puffery some folks might never become as brave as they claim
Fearless, hard-hearted...

English Is F@#kk'd Up!!
This language is nutz!!
Synonyms?
Homonyms?
Antonyms?
Mama n dems?
Man, F@#k It!!
Same word
Different word
Wrong word
My head hurts!!
66 is a famous "Route" across America
66-15 is a horrible "rout" in a football game
regardless of who was favored
Traffic is "routed" around a pileup on I-75
However, 75-40 in the ACC title game means UNC has "routed" another poor, hapless group of souls
One's travel path between cities is the chosen "route"
But homes can be shifted off their foundations...
