Long Sammie Poems

Two old friends
(who haven’t seen each other
in quite some time)
running into each other on the

— A Detroit westside encounter


Man, it’s good seeing you Joe,
how is ...

Aw, Moms doing just fine....

Your struggling economy..

Maybe it's those
eyes? 
That Tantalize the
smallest tendrils in
the back on my mind.
Brainwaves emitting
from the head of a
bush whose beauty is
displayed not only
on the outside of
the leaves but also
in the deepest mean
of your hidden
fruits.
Paralyzed by the
curves...

Although it was written and recorded in 1968,
I think that it was the late 80's when I first heard it.
First, arrested by it; later captured; then embraced.
For more than 30 years, I have loved that...

In a blink of an eye you will then turn 18
And maybe the next morning when I wake up
You will soon outgrow my lap

Zak I'm giving you my heart; all in black and white, with paper and words.

Caused me to analyze myself.

Goes to my heart so it won't stop. 

A little white one that I take
Goes...

 Only I’m stuck in a well.
But this well is cracking,
Ever since we started talking.
