Ode to Toodle-oo:
in collaboration with penn mysteries
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
About the Creator
Saroyan Coles
I want to empower others with my writing. I have always dreamed of seeing my name, on something.
