POEMS from the last two days by Kola Boof:

*Kola The Snow Man

You looked at me and laughed.....

I got up from the snow (melting).

You made me.

_________________

*Laughing In Window Doing Dishes

I recently hugged you.....thoughts....

like I gave birth to you.....

feeling U my son/U my daughter/U my love.

I feel good.

________________________

*Fingering Pearls

Laughing with champagne toe to toes on an empty bank account.

We got it like that.

_____________________

"Rod"

I don't love the Husk. But the more I caress it;

the gentler his heave beneath.

_____________________

*Untitled

Hold me a while....and take me....when it's lavender

and too weak to think straight.

______________________

*Humbly Owned

I want to be somebody else while the lights are out.

_________________________

*Owned

He comes from a Red Clay village.

He comes from a Red Clay woman.

He comes...wrestling God....inside me.

_____________________________

*Memory & Aging: Drying Clothes

A Black Man plucked me out of thin air.

A Black man followed me into the Sea.

A Black man caught my falling star.

A Black man set me on his knee.

_____________________________

*Snow Brown Nipples

Beautiful, beautiful clear sky....fresh

& clean deeply breathing.

I had to smile and then my nose was cold.

It hurt to laugh!

It made smoke and white slush

sweetness

_________________________________

*Luck

This is nervous.....it's laid out long......

it's a breezy kiss; not even ours anymore....

everywhere's kiss

_____________________________________

*Mortal

My everything just can't end with this life.

Love should be unkillable.

And sometimes, the heart strains to know.

It's not Greed; it's the heart!

Happy belated valentine's day.
