Facebook Collab with Drake Jibril Eszes: "Tonight"

“Love should never expire faster than a Walmart return policy.” –D.J.E.

“Tonight” (A “Quickie” Poem)

Sudden winds of change
Envelop me
Like a hibernating bear’s arms
Snuggling her cubs

Love’s discovery
Cut strangely
By scissors
Held by Umbilical cords’ revenge

Unprecedented silence
Speaks louder
Than love
Ever confessed

Now I sit here
Pastime scars
Testifying uplifting lessons
Band aids on this open wound

How could something so real end so fast?

This chapter I’ve already read
365 days ago
Thought I put it in my
Epilogue of discontent

…

But, tonight
My scars of love
Will speak mental voo-doo tones
Commencing last laughs chant

As they lock eyes
With their penis role-model
My vulnerable words
Forgotten

As they position nakedness
Above his
Fulfilling his dreams

Blindness will be your karma
For this moment you fulfill
Things will not be
What it seems

TGP's Quickie response:

Above the storms of life
after I've Spoken Words:
"peace, be still"

to the crashing waves above
my common sense

when you ended it
your eyes cut through
my masculinity like
Ginsu knives
on my male genitalia.

My source of testosterone
dropping to the floor
like Samson's locks

and Delila mocks me
paid by Philistines
and I was blinded
to her treachery
by her sheer beauty
and gorgeous pouting
that melted me like butter...

I shudder
first against millstones
grinding wheat,
gathering my strength
my hair reappearing
(but not my sight)
then against columns to Dagon
mocked openly by three thousand souls...

"Fulfilling MY dreams

"Blindness will be YOUR karma
For this moment *I* fulfill
Things will not be
What they seem..."
