Green Tea

et it all hang down
Wet laundry drip in pools
Emerald waters
Soothe my skin I feel cool
Green tea and others
Cinnamon so sweet with you
Just to eat you up
Side of cola and some ice
Candles light my room
Pink yellow and blue
I miss your skin when you were here
scent of sage clean and dear
My intention toward you
Simple and sincere
Sugar spice pear and apple
Fill my head what stops you
Smiling down at sunsets in my eyes
You’re tall now boy

Coconut Oil
03:23
|
|||
|
like butter,
you are smooth,
milky in my arms, against my chest,
you are fresh and supple
with hands big enough to hold me to earth.
Softness in your voice, closes my content and curious eyes with two bold finger tips.
Like honey,
you are warm,
easing into my smallest cracks and glazing over my thoughts each day.
You will be the hardest poem for me to write.
The sweetest time spent with a pen in my hand.
Like cream,
you have aged,
taken from youth and mixed into expensive coffee.
Used lightly to saturate the delicate mixture heavy and pure
and hard to be common.
like coconut oil,
you are the tenderness between my fingers, the eyelashes on my cheeks
just like oil on my hands
you take care of yourself.
And I see you, I see you,
with aback heavy from the world
there is nothing I can do but mix into you like coconut oil.

Cosmo Girl
03:32
|

|
Cosmos cradle my heavy head
so full of sunny and stormy clouds
conclusions and fusions, solutions
to where I’m settled on the grass
I’m a cosmo girl with the venus on my neck
with the mars stuck on my confusion
The stars could fall out of the sky
simply landing on my nose.
Tickling brown skin and wrinkles
tickling my brown skinned composition.
The cosmos know my name they play scars and beauty marks on my shoulders.
Green tattoo, green tattoo,
moon, sun, saturn, and neptune
engulf my darkness, like the void I am.

Ease My Pain
03:00
|

The flowers from May
Went up to June
With a pebble in his hand
And asked for rain
And June replied
In the skies so high
You will find in you
The rain will always come
Sad days will heal
The blood will wash
And the pale will rose
And the dead will rise
Milk will spill
Backs will ache
A cloud in the sky
Can’t fill with rain
And bring it down
on such a heavenly heavenly day
And to think of you
On your knees
With a big ol nose and a big ol smile
From ear to ear
To ease my pain
To take it from me
And put it in its place
All I ask of you is
To lay my head
On this solid ground
Where flowers grow
And water erodes
And makes a new you
I wanna be her
I am not the same
How could I be?
I brought silence to the game

Green Leaves
01:42
|
|||
|
Green green leaves,
wavering over my cheeks.
Cupping one with my brown bare hands
Naranja Naranja
little one out in the sun.
This has been much fun.
Heavy fruit hanging, lower and lower
from above.
Well it might be because
the season has changed,
she know’s it’s time for hers,
she’ll get hers.
Naranja Naranja
basking in sunshine, the breeze
it brings in bees,
buzzing in circles it’s sweet.
So sweet.

Belt Buckle
02:54
|
|||
|
I’m going to let you in and throw all my clothes on the floor
Gonna let you tear down my wallpaper in strips
All these things that drive my sanity
are going to be forcefully taken from my hands to feet.
Hitched breathing as I watch you tear apart my tall trees and forts with your loose belt buckle.
God, my heart hurts already and you’ve only begun to touch my arm.
I don’t know if I want to write a lot about you.
I don’t know how much I want to remember all of this.
I don’t know how this is going to end or start.
I don’t know what you’re doing or saying,
I don’t know what I’m saying or doing.

Bruises
04:16
|
|||
|
Not like I didn't notice
bruises raise to the surface
Creamier like milk spilt over
laughter and two cups of coffee on a window table
bruises she didn't know were there
wandered across her skin to stay
She doesn't mind sharing her body to colors she felt for
purple for lavender she sees in the corner of her mind
Gold for small dancing light shinning off a woman's earring
passing her on the subway
deep pink for her lips
when the night kissed her forehead
on her way to the nightlife she craved
All these colors she rents her skin
I didn't notice they bloomed with each sliding finger of mine up her arm on accident
Her body wraps itself continuously through layers of knit and tassels
So many blankets to encase an empty rib cage
She's never empty but always feeling so hollow.
She swings from bed to floor searching for air
Wrapped up in comfort
to wake up in warmth next to a wall and myself
She always slept with one foot in the daring air.

Honeysuckle
02:48
|
|||
|
We’re floating in a great space and soaring through the air
I fell in love with you
A sailor to a raging sea
Magnificence abounds you I can see it in your face
If my first try didn’t work out, why try and take it’s place.
Honeysuckle wedding,
in the middle of July.
Never really knowing what became of the sky.
A Honeysuckle wedding,
in the middle of July,
never really knowing what became of the great blue sky.
Don’t lose it,
don’t lose your mind.
Why settle for the first one.
When we’re given so much time to really know.

I Know (to the birds)
01:29
|
|||
|
I know you know there’s still time.
I know you know there’s still time.
You see me wishing to be floating up there high.
I know you want to see me cry.
Something you never do in your own time.
But we’ve got to face the facts, things change
and you owe me
a whole lot.
a whole lot.

I Paid For That
03:05
|
|||
|
I paid for that, shine a light on me
I paid for that, shine a light on me
You can’t take my money
run off when you please
I work hard to spend it
bring it back to me
Right back to all the letters, you ain’t send to me
I tell you that, I paid for that, shine a light on a me
I paid for that, shine a light on me
I paid for that, shine a light on me
You can’t take my money,
run off when you please
I work hard to spend it
bring it back to me
please tell me brother,
war has come to me
Lost my will to liven
drink my need for sleep
Pretty as a prayer book floating in the sea
I reach out my hand, hoping you would see
We both lost, running with the breeze
I paid for that, why don’t you shine a light on me
I paid for that, why don’t you shine a light on me

Wishing You Peace
02:02
|
|||
|
Wishing you peace across a field of yellow flowers and tall trees
Hoping you find yourself
Up in the clouds or down on earth
beneath green leaves
Wishing you peace
No matter how far,
no mater how long,
no matter how deep.
Wishing you the kindness you’ve never seen
never known
Hope life gives you fruit the sweet kind.
Take a bite, let a life rewind.
