One by one

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

You must count your blessings,

Count them one by one.

Lest you be forgetting

All the good that’s been done,

It’s like a good father,

Not derelict or strange

A provider and protector

Who plays the long game.

So one is for my daughter,

The apple of my eye.

Two is for my son,

I love to see him shine.

Three is for my doodle

The cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Four is for my profession

I actually live my dream

Five is for my tribe,

Who walk by my side.

love island

Just realized that I’m not crazy

That everything I want

I totally deserve

Conflict happens when I’m given shit

And I turn around like, “I don’t want this.”

They keep giving me their worst

Knowing I am and give my very best

The swimming pool has piss

Find someone else to wade in this

I can’t wait for this

Or that shit.

I resist

Resistance.

Be like water my friend

On this love island.

pineapple

List your top 5 favorite fruits.

pining for you since we first met

ignited a flame in me I can’t forget

noticing the pull, your sudden appearance

Affectatious attraction and passion unparalleled

distant when entered your orbit

anticipating the moment when i see you again

pleading with a healing heart

pulling on that string

leading me slowly into your

embrace.

rest & rise

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

As the sun peeks over the horizon

I open my eyes and think of you

I turn to see you sleeping

Chestnut lids covering dark brown eyes

That look in to mine with passion ablaze

Surely I dreamt of you while sleeping by your side

Hands clasped between our thighs.

I pass the day with sweet nothings and forget me nots

Forging my own path with joy and liberty

And as I lay down to sleep late in the midnight hour

My head on your chest finds rest

Feels so blessed to know you when I rise.
