The Plan ( a work in progress)


I don’t know if I’ve seen her yet

But I’ve envisioned how she makes me feel.

Like a king

Despite my faults

She sees someone who rounds out all of her squares;

Her checklist of personal issues I help to un-

check as we go along.

She’s on my layaway plan.

I’m making sacrifices for her.

Overlooking the things I don’t really need

the short-term things

To save up for what/ for who

I really want

for life.

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
