Don’t take the past away from me It made me who I am I like the one I’ve come to be A truthful, loving man

I don’t write poems for poets Flowery language, indulge us I break it down With a simpler sound And anything more would be less

Sittin’ in a patio chair Breathin’ in the cool night air Listening to the breeze Rustling leaves in trees I’m being the love of life

I pour my heart into these prose Because I feel I need to go Into the darkness that will show What needs to surface from below

I don’t know what it means to have A lover in my life I don’t know what it’s like to tas… Their sugar and their spice I don’t know how to give and take

Ever seen Fawn on teet Wagging tail like dog? If you can’t Then I shant

She is the one I call my life And nothing like Her sweet and spice So if you want

I feel it is my heritage To see your essence, know your bed To think the truth inside your hea… Because that’s what your actions s…

Treat yourself Like you wish others Would treat you

I’m just looking for An open invitation To bathe you in love

I’ve never wrapped My mind around Making you feel Seen, heard, and found I didn’t know

The only time I lost control Was when you threatened my househo… You made me choose the dreadful pa… So I created a blood bath

I missed out on Our baby’s clues I didn’t feel Her in your womb But now she’s here

Give me... A campfire, Smokes, And a bottle of rum; I’ll regale you all night long.

Ain’t no mountain high Ain’t no valley nigh When you’re in my sights
