Busted


Emulqtion of Nikki giovanni, Cotton candy on a Rainy Day.

I now sit lonesome 

in the red brick stairwell where our lips once met

Time after time,

Secrets slipping through our cigarette stained teeth

Concrete stairs lining my peripheral 

Reminding me of how far I once fell

Busting my grimy teeth face first 

Diving into what I once thought was meant for me.

    Little tiger lily

    The morning air is quiet

    Her long slender stem 

    Softly bends and waves in the wind.

    Bright and sweet

    Her yellow petals flutter 

    With the warm breeze of summer
