love rain down on me
on me
down on me
met him on a thursday
sunny afternoon
cumulus clouds
84 degrees
he was brown
deep
said he wanted to talk about my mission
listen to my past lives
took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy
talked about moses and mumia
reparations
blue colors
memories of shell topped adidas
he was fresh
like summer peaches
sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
us was nice and warm
no jacket
no umbrella
just warm
at night we would watch the stars
and he would pyhsically give me each and every one
i felt like cayenne pepper
red
hot
spicy
i felt dizzy
sonya
heaven
and miles between my thighs
better than love
we made delicious
he me had
had me he
he made me tongue tied
i could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
i was his sharp
his horn section
his boom and his bip
and he was my love
love rain down on me
on me
down on me
the rain was fallin and
and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
and i could not see that he became my voodoo priest
and i was his faithful concubine
wide open
wide
loose like bowels after collard greens
the mistake was made
love slipped from my lips
dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
and us became new
now me non-clairvoyant and in love
made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
the rain was falling
and i couldn't see the season changing
and the vibe slipping off it's axis
our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
the rain was falling and i could not see
that i was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
and left to drown in his sunny afternoon
cumulus clouds
84 degrees
melody
love rain down on me
on me
down on me
in stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass
the sun beat in between my shoulders like carnival drums
i sat still in hopes that it would help my wings grow
so then i would really be fly
and then she arrived
like day break inside a railway tunnel
like the new moon
like a diamond in the mines
like high noon to a drunkard
sudden
she made my heart beat in a now-now time signature
her skinny canvas for ultarviolet brushstrokes
she was the sun's painting
she was a deep cognac color
her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city
she lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet
and full for her mouth to hold
i said
you are beautiful
