A Short Poem
I think of you daily, the child I will one day hold and love.
The apple of my eye
My future child
Wild are my thoughts of what your hue will be
A gleeful baby who giggles
With cheer
Or a cryer who'll keep me up for years
The apple of my eye
My future child
Will it be me or she
You resemble most
Will you have my eyes
Will you have her noes
Her fears
My woes.
The apple of my eye
My future child
I wonder if you'll grow up to see
A life never awarded to me
From the draw for birthright royalty
I promise I'm working
determined to make your dreams
Reality.
I hope that if by your time I did not do
The things I said I'd accomplish
I hope that I find me a good enough job to help you pay for your college Fees.
Cause knowledge is power
And if there is anything I'll be grateful to hand down to you
Is the things I never was taught
Hopefully it can it help you on your move. Your way.
Apple of my eye
My future child.

MISS YOU
You know what I miss, Miss? I miss dancing with you. My soul sparked. My rhythm was engaged in syncopation you made my world stop when you swayed with conviction my vixen my queen my muze, Miss, you, I miss you and the way you breathed with me elevating my chest with full expansion realeasing me so i could exhale before the pressure of your presence took me off my feet i saw you. A shiloutte filled to the brim my foxy lady you had me feeling, like a feeling screaming for attention, i wanted your attention. So i peacocked like topdawg with a main fit for a king with pride beyound silver, my game was golden because the challenge you posed was and still is legendary. I cracked under pressure. Unware of the vigour required To keep up with your two step The 3rd was a fools errand on my behalf Clearly i never walked before. I only knew dancing. How Miss, oh How I miss dancing with you But even more I regret not learning to walk.
