New Position

u appear to me
in my dreams
you disappear
clashing in my stubborn thoughts;
I’m
set in my ways,
but
if
you
really care
you will
dig deep
        deep enough
        deep deep enough
u will find some flexibility
in me
loving you-
I do love you.

I’m not pretending not to care.

if given another chance
i will find another way
to love you
i’ll change up
will move through
underneath the flesh of starving talk
over
through 
the movement
under
will champion the pain the fierceness the attitude the mistrust the hurt
looking
for understanding .
          to look for the love
for me
you say
exists.
i will find a new way to love you
i will find a  new position

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
