MARTY KING AND SHENIKA SIMS: kissing the tip of a rainbow
MARTY KING
sometimes i kiss the tip of a rainbow
golden maturity feels so ocean fresh
traces of lavender calms the vibe of overbearing reality
though time continues to be rebellious and uncaring
you provide a blanket of warmth that rehabilitates my sanity
everything slows down
your beautiful smile on my life feels so good
SHENIKA SIMS
sometimes i kiss the tip of a

Friend Till The End and Now I Ascend
SHENIKA SIMS

the devil mainly controlled the weather
every bone

Marty King and Shenika Sims: Admiring You For You
MARTY KING
admiring you for you
trying to focus
driving under a tunnel
smiling at the sky blue freedom
rubbing your inner thigh
you smiling at me
your eyes letting me know that you are wet
rising to the occasion,
i drive slower remembering where i am and the intention for our safe arrival
SHENIKA SIMS
admiring you for you
glad for being judgment free
simple things and

MARTY KING
it has been a long time
spring 10 is here
hope the strange change has not drained you
you are still so beautiful in vision's simplest of forms

Shenika Sims and Marty King: Going In Circles In My Mind
SHENIKA SIMS
going in circles in my mind
jumping over puddles
doing carwheels in multiples of three
thinking of you can't you see
my artwork has more positive themes
my heart medicinally skips beats so it seems
cannot wait to pack suitcases
go so many outfits, bathing suits, and...shoot....clothes to look through
i cannot believe this kind of love i feel for you
i feel

Widow Sims
She was an old lady, widowed for years long.
Mrs. Sims was her name, lived a block away.
She was alone, her three children were gone.
Never a caring word did she hear them say.
I was busy, a young man trying for the top.
Board meetings, audits, trips—much to do.
Those were priorities, taking time nonstop.
Mrs. Sims didn’t matter in
