As I sit here among the
buildings high and noises
loud, I reminisce over you
like a smooth jazz tune that
makes me smile.
The clickitty-clack of my city
chariot rocks me like a cradle
and warms me within the bosom
of the city in which I reside.
As I commiserate while living
under the tent of my own skull,
I think of you smiling amongst
the flowers of the field.
Your skin so brown and beautiful
like the sepia of mama's favorite
velvet dress. It brings memories
enough to make me miss my stop.
But it is week's end and so
I stay on for the ride to...
wherever. Knowing noone there,
but unafraid to venture forth.
Besides, it is living in here,
this cavernous world within a
world within an entity, that
makes my time with you so filled
with joy. I will be with you
when time permits.
I'll travel the miles from this
coast to the other. And I will
find you where you have taught
me to look. In my heart, and in
the fields of flowers where the
picture shows you smiling brightly.
I will be there, my mistress.
I will find you there and we will
be no longer wanting.
