Reason Why I Sing
She said poetry
doesn't belong
in black and white format
tongue tied along
grammatical lines
of the English language
when I perform acts
that make her want to speak
Spanish
It should be exhaled
on skin when temps
drop below ten.
Closed eyes and
open imaginings discussed
in midnight forums
with me playing
Hall of Fame defense
against her offense
that's clicking on
all cylinders
Exhausted from all
the overtimes
She has a look
of divine as sunshine
creeps through
the edges of loosened sheets
I tend to agree
such things shouldn't be
written but lived out
in dramatic fashion
Splendidly ad-libbed
from what our minds
have been humming
