I Dodged a Bullet

I DODGED A BULLET I dodged a bullet two weeks ago In that shopping mall A bullet, caramel skinned; moisturized That almost left a sister’s chest Spurting red spots everywhere I dodged this fine looking bullet That went three sixty degrees Around my waistline I sang praises, I almost rocked that Mic Check check I dodged a bullet… Yes! I dodged a fine one Six feet two inches; got me high Fine smelling cologne, I took a whiff Six packs front layered; I scrolled through, page after page In my fantasy Oh my! I dodged it sister; yes I dodged a bullet in hours It challenged my hormones They militated against my sense of reasoning I gave a silent scream for help My eyes coated in surprise My hands, still… My prize, a bullet? That bullet almost shot through me Between Africa and Jamaica It's warmth sent me down that sofa Attention! my twin babies saluted That voice, those eyes A combination of soul and jazz soothing the soul Soft and inviting, tempting; Sent shivers down my spine They slung a leash around me But I had to dodge that bullet On the last five days before New Year's Eve Neofloetry (c)2013.
