hands tremor at the ding,
analytical thoughts flash,
reasoning for the beam
but can’t get any words out,
it’s something about you.
body hangs off the moon,
take me back to the garden,
thorns prick fingers and
crimson drips and rushes down,
but it’s worth it.
butterflies dance the stomach,
lungs contract and expand easier,
headaches decrease as blood rushes
to other parts of the body,
the pulse brings joy.
As white as the driven snow.
Coming back from a lot.
Chosen to be around.
Bubbly baking soda, region of snow.
Playgirl bunny, lil playboy star.
Than again too much confetti.
Black lives matter to the confederates.
Bedazzled diamond cut.
Coma snow white and the lover in you.
Gangsta's paradise Chicago Chicago.
Eat your wheaties.
Good and plenty with rice cakes.
Sparked them didn't you?
Full of wisdom and enigma.
Checkerboard chess pieces.
Quick, quick, quickly switch up chuck.
In a strategic state of mind.
muscle memory
kinesthetic awareness ...
like riding a bike

Poetry form: Senryu (for you and me too)
Finding balance can be like riding a bike if we just keep our focus on the more important things.
Without her love
I am
supine and catatonic
resting energy
E=mc2
squared
Mantra of melanin
black and white
we blend together
The consequence
of making love
is Olympism
Proverbial softness
sensibility and discernment
our internal systems burn
when I kiss her dark skin
Force of body
strength of reason
together we balance
When we unite
we are
perpetual
a complete
human being
an erotic
explosion of light...
harmony, balance
peristaltic perception
defies all logic
