My Legacy & Kindred....."LillY"
This piece was written to me & for me by one of poetry's best kept secrets. Everything she writes is the birth of poetry again and again.
I introduce you to my legacy and daughter
...lilly...
enjoy
(Untitled)
"...i wanna walk you down my street
said... wanna walk you down my street
play you some jazz
rhythm and blues
be
cause
you
make me wanna write things upon my stomach lining
so's no one can see...
make me
wanna keep eating so's i got more room to write...
& hell, sometimes
i crawl beneath the moon... whisper your relevance to the stars...
=]
you bring me back home, mama
somewhere nestled between your dreams and thought patterns
got me clung on tight
to those mistakes...
& you know what pretty lady...
you never push 'poet' on me
like some heavy burden
that breaks my knee's
carrying me down...
mama, i wanna take you down my street...
said... i wanna take you down my street...
color your face in the lines from my suicide notes...
show you rhythm n blues
pain so smooth its like jazz, mama
i wanna tattoo your name
on my index and middle finger
so when im stressed and about to jump...
you're right there smoking that newport 100 with me..
i wanna walk you down my street
and forgive you for loving my daddy,
hold you for never knowing yours
i wanna kiss you on your pretty hands
let you know you showed me what is was
to really love a woman...
thank you for finding me a word
to describe
how bad it
HURTS
to give this to you
grasp my fingers tight
around my pen walking towards those gates
HATE
the fact imma have to pretend you're holding my hand
but hey
we never thought college was gonna happen
so we never expected you to be there
the first day
but hey, mama
the worst way, would be for me not
to keep building
my fantasy around these cliche poets
so
tomorrow
imma write a secret about you
so's the world can understand your pretty ups and down...
you know us... can't keep secrets...no, not even our own...
that's why im gonna compose your soul to history
let the world remember
that you
let me know what is was like
to love me...
...i loved you..."
