untitled poem


sometimes
I feel like my heart
exposed
has been picked apart.
though heavy from all the good it’s caused
-- still left out in the sun to dry up.
people will walk by the dark red pieces
stepping over them
kicking them aside
thinking they’re rocks.
but I know what it is-
what it used to be-

  1. I like the abstract. I like the reds.

    I have 'new' surveys just for Alieux.;);)

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
