Poetic Text: Always, Everyday Pt 2

So it took longer than I promised it would, but here it is, the second bit of Always, Everyday.

I wonder
Always, Everyday
about tomorrow
when the new is old and cracked and creaks a little bit
musty and frail
limping slowly, depending solidly on the memories for sustenance
When, where once
you used to stare me up and down
lick your lips and smile
saying, let’s hit the sheets
now exists the mundane…
Always, Everyday

Do your desires even aspire to walk that long
to the always, everyday middle of the road?
Not feeling well
I decided to take the day off yesterday
between my TV watching marathon,
doing some school work and napping
I did a little soul searching
I realised that the tears won’t stop till I tell them to
and that the healing of my heart doesn't rest on you

You see, I thought I was falling
Always, Everyday
I thought I was loving
the restitution I found beneath your palms, I confused
The warmth that rested with a confident firmness inside your kisses had me bare mused
But now I think,
Always, Everyday
About me

Poetic Text: My Business

My business is complex
long winding stealth
crevassed in places untold
gorged and crannied
you would never fully understand

My business is intricate
multipart and composite
it walks and breaths airs of mystery
deep and sordid
lies telling life
that’s my business

My business is convoluted
in tiny pockets, adventure aplenty
Between the thighs of a joyous fate
lives the many myriads of my trade
within my whims and fancies
I am more than a one dimensional being

My business is mine
a secret so close to my bosom
the only way in lives in…
cracks, clefts, holes, splits and hollows
that promise never to allow no one
not even you inside it
you would never fully grasp the sophistication of my business
so mind yours and I’ll do the same
