I left earth for six months.
When your feet touch air for the first time
You forget...that you are human.
You forget that your body wasn't meant to fly this high.
That all things that are high
Must come down,
And the impact left my bones covered in regret.
Covered from the filth
Of the four letter word that left my saliva;
I thought I knew what love was.
That love and passion were twin sisters,
But their children always make childish decisions;
I left my heart on your doorstep by mistake.
You left your earrings by the coffee mug on my dresser
And I called you to make the trade.
I don't blame you.
I blame myself for not tying my own shoes as a grown man.
For leaving something in your possession
That never belonged to you.
For trying to find myself in something
That didn't give birth to this flesh.
Love doesn't require completion so this letter is for me.
To look myself in the mirror and see God's creation.
To understand that all things and all life have breath,
And that everything with a heartbeat must come to an end
Asé.

Take it Easy

Take your time don't be hasty
I don't mind being patient
I can wait another day
I don't mind if it's not time
Honestly you're so sweet
I wouldn't mind if you stayed the night
Sit a while
Your company it makes me smile
And take it easy
You don't have to leave yet
So just
Sit a while
We'll dance until the sun goes down
And take it easy
I don't want you to leave yet
Maybe next time
You won't just stop by
Maybe next time
I'll sing you this lullaby
Sit a while
Your company it makes me smile
And take it easy
You don't have to leave yet.

You + Me (Full)

I just need all your love
Don't worry
about the ways we'll become
I'll be by your side
Call my name
When you can't see the light
through the rain
When you can't seem to feel
The warmth of the sun
through the pain
I'll be there for you
Come run away with me
We'll find out what we need
This world was made for you and me
I just want you to feel
All the many ways I can
heal your hearthile you're all mine
And you have nothing to fear
Cuz' I'm ready to make a
deal for your love
As long as you'll have mine
Come run away with me
We'll find out what we need
This world was made for you and me.

I don't mind if you call
I like your voice when you
sing to me your sweet song
Your sultry tunes
you carry me on your words
Can't find a reason to leave
my worries behind
I'll drift away to your light
Find your way back to me
Baby set me free
Find your way back to me
Baby set me free
Rhythm takes to my waist
The melody to my hips
they sway side to side
Your hands they take to
my heart is racing with glee
The way you smile when you
look at me with such adoration
There's no limitation on us
Find your way back to me
Baby set me free
Find your way back to me
Baby set me free

Let it be a summer night
when the breeze lingers indigo warm still
Me with that tank top on
that makes it look like I got some titties
And the skirt that hugs the fatty
We out way after them street lights off cuz we grown, and
Arms clutched around the neck, the same color as nutmeg
Your beautiful mouth sucks the cinnamon off my tongue
On a dance floor with haze blue lights
Somewhere
Where the mac n' cheese and yams touch on dixie plates
Bodies grind slow drip of blackberry molasses
laughing from our toes and...
Drinking cheap wine from red cups
You whisper, "Damn ma..", in my ear
cuz you know I like that
Stars filled skies meet orange
touch dawn guiding us to our doorway
We create continent
On white cotton sheets from braided brown bodies
God filled your eyes when you declared...you love me...
It doesn't come with the thud of ego or broken promises
Nah...It lands quiet
As folded laundry I gleam and glitter
This different
This thing..is copper in the sun.
