I find,

I miss you more, like toodle-oo

every day, unpredictable woman

like I am the mountain

and you’re the sunset behind

arise above my head

like riding off into the sunset

I feel secure overhead,

Your warmth gives me pleasure

My shade from ravage and danger,

Tall, short,

like you’re sweeter than a

stolen pleasure

As I bask in your feel

that’s unrelenting

My sister and brother yet my mother,

round or slender,

My best friend at all times

Darker or pale,

You made me smile,

that’s something

I will hold onto

You’re the most

indecipherable yet the best teacher,

You’re the most

decipherable yet the best mentor,

Sweeter than honey

Lover unconditionally

Scolder raucously

unexpected, unexplainable, unsurprise

I find, a kiss and wave

from you the hardest goodbye

harder on I than you

I, no longer miss you more, like good riddance

Every day, unconcerned man

slam poetry
