D.U..ET. (a poem by Christopher Lee & Kalonia Jennings

Blue
a smile of blue
she sought
continuity of curvature
to speak without the utterance of one sound
but i heard every word
all the makings of
a classic
beauty by
mine own standards
she defined purpose in her stance
others reveled in the obvious
and i
longed for what was
deeper
my
mind was tickled and giggled at
reasonings that filled her that
soared above the minds of the average
i was awed
she wasnt impressed
"its just me"
she said
as i
marveled at the caramel simmering
beneath
this fleshy kettle of fire
and traced lines with invisible fingers
that merely started at her legs
and ended at infinity
so it is unneccesary to comment
that
the caress is forever
rooted to both earth and man by locs of Queendom
and the heart by sincereity
and the eyes by a smile of blue
an unshakable essence
she possessed
that i wished to bottle
but who can bottle the spirit that is free
without
killing
what intrigued ur mind from Genesis
and
returning her smile to blue
i pray that if i were to be haunted
she would be my tormentor
and
if i were to be blessed
she would don the wings
of my
guardian angel
locs of wool caressing the
side of my cheek as
eyes meet and
lips contact
and meld into
this sweat inducing dream
i smell her breathing
i feel her cry
i arise
she
escorts
we
travel
who arrives
inconsequential
i came before i went
fight the feeling i must the desire tocrush the memory of this nymph into my soul
she is forever etched there and
i have neverseen
morethan theIdeaof she with the smile of blue

..In regard to my search for the perfect sunset
I think she probably scribed
the most perfect lines across the crown of the sky
that I had ever seen
Shining light into the lowest valleys and
Burning the glades and their shade with a
Quiet brilliance
Even thru her haze she managed to illuminate
other dark days
And with subtleness show us all another way
She Darkened my melanin and showed me ways to be a black man
again
She reminded me of my mother
Warming cool days and making things alright again
or At least to endurable for now
I watched her pursue her dream as she settled in the west every night.
Oft i dreamed of pursuing her but
she ran too swiftly along her track
So far away she would wander
I wondered if she would come back..
Alas for the wings of Nike
I would give a jewel
To follow just once
But in my 3rd eye I knew only a God
could look in her eye
I half-human
So every eve I would pray her vision not see tears
as I sit along the coast of the Pacific and
watch her explode into arrays of amazing color..
reaching out
as if she were rubbing my hand to say
"Maybe one day
Never is always worse than late
Who knows what sayeth the Fates.."
And if not for this human and weak body
I would sit forever on this beach
tearfully
but happily regret
My failure to capture
The perfect sunset
