where

Your love once
overwhelmed me
made me laugh
giggling nervously
so deep inside
internal
close
anticipating
bleeding though me/
(    it would   
   ) leaving scars
made me cry
when I stood my ground
you walked away
taking with you
my love
where did you go with it
used to make me laugh
I'm alone now
I think I even miss the things you did that made me put up with you
(where's a blues song—
 when you need one?)

Why
where did you go
with my love in one hand
 
your fist in the other?

About Me

My photo
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
