Manus Christi
Smoke
As the sun rises high I follow, gasping in my elixir of dreams on an early summer morn.
A songbird's melody guides me through my rhythmic puffs, and the only aid to my fit of coughs is the heady scent of sweetly rotted fallen fruit buzzing in my head.
With eyes burnt a deep crimson hue, as bright as the decayed fruitage once was, I behold the ever glowing heavens and bask beneath its sanctified light.
These gilded, floating islands whose beauty I can only gaze upon once my tonic has been made.
A divine potion you see, of my dreamy fog and a sharp inhale of the mid-summer breeze. The concoction having been poured into soft fleshy sacs beneath my breast pools, reverberates and dances all throughout my being.
Each weary breath, a solemn meditation.

*deep breath* So.
I've begun my healing journey. And today marks the 1st of July. And @bluepuppy01 how "convenient" or "coincidental" a post this might be seeming for me.
The 22nd of this month marks 2 years since the tragic death of my best friend. She was my inspiration for writing. And my fellow "writing-partner-in-crime." We wrote countless poems and stories together. Even started working on some books.
When I lost her, I lost the words. Writing became tasteless, listless. It hurt me more than anything in the world, when it had before been my greatest ally.
Because she took them all with her, all the words.
And I've found again my voice. I am recognizing now my journey toward healing, through the very medium I shared with her.
And so, I've elected to try and write one small poem, dedicated to her, one for each day of this month, to show my love and appreciation for everything she was and brought into my life. I miss her badly tonight. I need to do this for me, to help myself along the grieving and healing journey, that never truly began until now.
She may not be able to write anymore. But now I'll carry the torch for us both.

There are no apples
Where I go alone to cry
So there are no apple trees
From which I can fall off
So no matter where I land
It wouldn't be near one.
Here there are only willows
And here they weep instead for me
But I guess us lemons don't fall
Far from our trees either.

Somewhere in midst of all apprehension, we forgot to reminisce our golden moments, where we were like the serene birds....️

Just the summer breeze, swings under the banyan tree and lot of gossips.....

Summertime
Oh, summer how I missed your big bright eye shining upon my face.
I miss seeing people's tan lines looking like Neapolitan ice cream
And
Shirtless men walking around town.
Shout out to my big fellas who don't give a damn on how big their titties are.
I miss wearing nothing but
Booty shorts and honey bamboo earrings.
Braids and twists like Janet.
You feel da vibes...
Waking up in the morning, wrinkling my nose & toes.
Got up & prayed to my Father above.
I took a shower and I'm gonna get dress like I ain't got no DAMN sense.
Door knocked.
He's here.
A kiss hello and out the door, we go.
Sandwiches from the bodega, laying out in the park-like we ain't got no home.
Dominoes and Uno cards cause we're still kids in heart.
Wearing bright colors on black skin is the element of surprise.
Your presence was stuck in my head like a Robert Glasper melody.
You call me ma and I call you pa.
Your lips melted unto my lips like strawberry ice cream.
You rubbed my tummy and said I love you ma.
I love you too pa.
Summertime fine, damn it's hot out here.
Kids out here in the streets, having the fire hydrants flooding the streets.
Radio Raheem blasting music out on the bed stuy, he still fighting the power.
Hip Hop forever is my rhythm and blues.
Red & blue slushies giving me a colored tongue that's my summertime fine.
Kids chasing after the ice cream truck and begging their parents for mo money.
Girls rocking fresh braids smelling like fruity smoothies.
Men wearing jerseys with Jordan's like it's still the 90's.
Brown skin ladies with long legs are Hershey kisses delight.
I'm licking red lollipops while rollerskating on the sidewalks with you.
Drinking cold Modelo's with you, sitting down reading Maya Angelou to you.
He said I give him a bodacious vibe.
AC got shut off so we just rub ice down each other's back to keep ourselves cool off.
Silk sheets kissed me so smoothly, your hands running down my back as I pounce on you.
Now the cold water running down my body like blood.
Soap washes the sins away for now but eternally that makes my soul heavy.
White toes on melanin skin walking around barefoot on the wooden floors.
He sneaks up behind me and pulls me towards the ground.
Damn, I outta tell you…
His kisses got me burning like 102. fever.
Ripes off my sundress and income temptation.
We played board games while watching John Singleton movies.
I told him that's going be me one day, I'm going do it big for Spike & Singleton.
He said Bet?
Bet.
He laughs and says
"You already know I got you boo."
Midnight creeping up slow...
Licking the spoon while we sharing a tub of cookies & cream in bed.
Laying out on the sheets while watching Cooley High ending my summertime night with you.
Warm hugs good night are my heat of the night.
We miss you summer, I hope to see you soon.

Homeless.
That day, I felt love,
So hard, so intense..
After,
You left me halfway, homeless,
And,
Then I breathe a sigh of realization! -

How to know it's summer time?
If your butt's on fire when you sit on your two-wheeler seat, it's summer time bruh!

The summertime love story was all about us.
Then
In autumn,
Like everything else.
It died.

The Frosty Days of Summertime
The frosty days of summertime
When the campfire is toasty cold
When a cool dip in an ice warm lake
Makes you at heart feel old
When everything is inside down
Positively upside out
A silly season for nothingness
Absurd with a full doubt
So put on your mittens and come inside
It's nearly 90 degrees
But don't remember to wipe your feet
When you go outside to the trees

Egentid. I sommartid
Havets vågor som i den lite hårdare vinden skvaplar mot strandkanten.
Båtarna som guppar i takt med vattnet, som om synen vore direkt tagen från en Taube-visa.
Några barnfamiljer som bryter den mänskliga tystnaden med avlägsna skratt och samtal. Inte för nära, det är bra.
Farfars brygga som står i solskenet och lovar sommar. För 16e året på rad.
Gråshuggor och myror som vandrande i sanden utfärdar sina vardagliga sysslor. Bleka fötter som gräver sig ner och gör dem sällskap.
Tankar som florerar under kepsryggen.Tysta. Tankar om ingenting.
Ögon som tittar ut mot det solsmekta vattnet under repiga solglasögon.
Lugnet som sveper in tillsammans med molnen lite då och då diskreta promenad framför solen.
Egentid. I sommartid.

Summer Time
Weather gets warmer and fruits riper
Clothes replaced with the ones lighter.
Sun in the sky blazing like a silver ball
Makes wheat and vegetables to be tall.
Every morning breeze shakes the green tress
Brings us joy and the smell of fragrant leaves.
Farmer's busy time on the field gathering crops
Tired bodies sweating look like they stopped the clock.
Harvest season of juicy and watery fruits
Greatest reason refresh dry and thirsty throats.
Children's laughter and playing shouts fill the air
Up and down,jumping and kicking with no care.
Everyone does a job,men bring and chop the logs
Little children go after one another and play with bugs.

I feeel like I get you,
But then I don't
Why is that?
Is it me?
Or is it you?
Which way is it?
Which way do I turn?
Or will I find you again
Or will you find me again?

Swimming in the sea
Under I go
Meeting new creatures
Molly the mussel
Everyone playing, having fun
Really not wanting to go home -

For me, irrisistable is the sunshine glaring down at me after a rainstorm. The sun shines in all the puddles, revealing my reflection. My daughter and I, love to just jump in the puddles, just to see who has the biggest splash. Those too, are very irrisistable.

June, Welcome
It's the month of June,
Time for birds to chirp,
It's time to be bare foot and fancy free.
For the windows in the car to be down,
Wind blowing through my hair.
Long walks at night, just to stare at the stars and the moon.
Time for endless summer nights with my boys.
The month of June, I welcome you
With open arms.
Please don't leave us too soon.

Its Here ☀️
Pink hues on an orange sky,
The creaks and whistles of a silent house.
The heat and moon that never meet.
The grass and mud between my feet.
The endless days, and smokey nights.
That rain that you can smell.
I've waited all year for summer to appear.
