Daylight

Sunday

Pomegranate seeds and popsicle sticks

And pineapples freshly juiced

She's my little dragon fruit and I'm her strong mango tree

I can give you shade if you need it

Under my leaves

If the sun beats to heavy

If things get too sunny

If you get hungry, I give fruit through all seasons with record breaking sweetness

Our love never runs out she's my sex when I need it she's my high when I'm down

She's my voice of reason when I'm lost found all these new feelings used to doubt

Now I believe it

She's dirty

Like a shining gem in the earth

She's dirty for me I'm dirty for her and I'm drunk on it

This is something spiritual and messy and beautiful

The extasy between two lovers tangled in each other's heart strings touching bodies

Mixing together making new colors

We make magic when we make love, I used to hate love

I used to blame love until I gave love

So many years I used to crave love

I was afraid

Of how sweet it tastes

I was afraid love would force me to change

Love would have broke the man that I was cold as I was I was still flesh and blood

Still young enough to be dumb enough to hate love I thought I overcame love until love

Till love came and brought me into the daylight

I thought I'd be judged for showing signs of damage

I thought I'd judged for not knowing how to heal

I thought love was for certain people

I had to learn to fall in love for no reason

I fall and it feels like flying

Flooding my deepest thoughts

I found me an ocean

I found my forbidden fruit that never rots

Love found me when I tried to hide

Said "come out and grow child, come out and be known child

Come out and flow into the hearts into the streets

Give all your sorrow and pain let it rain and thunder over your garden

May it give you fruit April and May

May all your anger and doubt be turn around

May your spirits sprout and reach heights way up above"
