something making me cry
I guess you are
nothing is ever silent
when my heart is controlled
by the rhythm of his poetry
hips sway
hidden away
behind empty doors
and a mouth that breathes
angry passionate and heated breaths
waiting and hoping and loving
my desire for you
filling and spilling
every cup I can find
trying to pacify a leaky roof
in this thunder storm
fervor creeping through seams
me
looking
for
you

Author's Note: I forgot about this poem until today... probably because it's so short. Looking for Koye's address, I stumbled upon it and checked back through poems I posted in December and it wasn't there. So I thought I'd go ahead and put it up.
