She Was Anti-Social

She was anti-social didn't like when people came @ her

You couldn't book her face nor follow her on the gram of Insta

She spoke more than 140 characters 

Her chats were longer than a snap She didn't need to hash out her thoughts or tag who she was with 

She took pictures to document her journey and posted them to her mind 

Her friends list was her passport, suitcase, camera, and adventure

She requests her friends face to face 

Grief Is My Muse

                                

                                   

I couldn't put words together that felt right

Running on empty with words and ideas didn't know where to turn for either 

I listened to Sade, Lady Day, Ndegeocello to ease the pain

I even tried to swim in pools of Makers to drown the sorrows

Bourbon led me to barbells, treadmills, tennis courts, new friends and a slight feeling of relief

As time went by a few words trickled out of the pain

Progress was slowly happening but then grief struck again

Grief went viral in my life garnering the most views and likes

Looking for ways to evict grief my new roommate

A new opportunity came about I dove in deep thinking this would

start  the eviction process

Time kept moving while grief stayed still holding on to the top spot of my feelings

I took the less I thought about it the less it would bother me approach as a settlement

While traveling abroad I finally decided to meet with grief face to face

I studied grief from all relevant angles inside and out 

After our meeting I realized my new friend was of great use

Grief after all we've gone through has become my muse 

Lounge Poetry Love Chronicles "Orgo Chem Love"

As we ran into each other after going our separate ways our the meeting was the start of organic reaction

The embrace we shared was the catalyst of the reaction 

The longer we held each other the more this accelerated the reaction 

The ease of the conversation was the perfect solvent at this point in the reaction 

Your eyes, energy, and words were the flames that heated the reagents in this step of the reaction 

As the conversation ended I knew the products yielded from our reaction would last forever 

Love, Passion, Energy, and our appreciation of one another were the final products from this reaction 

I realized the love bond formed would never be broken
