When I think of you.
I think of the heat
that can be me and you,
even tho I know I have you…

I can never have you…

“Next To You…”

Posted by Da Absentee on July 24, 2013

I’m lost
I’m torn
I’m troubled
I see if I can escape
Escape
To places where I should not be
I can’t return
Crossed over
Crossed that place in time
Crossed
Crossed that line
I know where I want to be
Know where I need to be
It’s not the same as where I am
Or where I should be
Fragments of me
Lost in memory
Dreaming
Thoughts
My thoughts
Not perfect
I long for the past
The present can stay
I think of those choice days
I could reconfigure
To change my steps
Realign what I need to do
So I can end up…

Next to you…

*****

Dedicated to the “Ones” who got away! It’s the whole go back in time and “What would I do different?” question. It’s me telling my past love that I didn’t even know I had; of the desire to change history to be with them. It’s the sadness that comes with knowing that such things will and cannot ever happen…???

As Always…

Stay Positive!

Real close
Burn it up
Thick smoke
In my cologne
You choke
Knots
bound in rope
Ruff seas
Commanding with ease
Produce coconut juice
For your rice & peas

On the floor
Permeate to the core
Back it up some more
Wave on me like a sea shore
Turn around
then grind some more

“On Being Family”

Posted by Da Absentee on July 11, 2013

Much to say
being who we are
thick water
sons, daughters
protectors and friends

know how and when
not where it ends
time never separate bonds
no matter
how colorful or rude
it’s who you are

we love for who we are
not what we want each other to be

don’t have to talk
to understand
good plus rough
situations
we don’t need solutions
just an attentive ear

on being family
just know
I am here
thankful to be blessed
by all your years
it would not be the same
without you here

like any occasion
we get together
to celebrate or mourn
it’s the time together
that keeps the heart warm

*****

I really don’t write about my family much. Even tho I know I owe them the most for how my brain works and how I view things in my life. If it wasnt for them I would not be me; but in my latter life I distanced myself from them. This is just to say I love them no matter how it may seem. It is not what it looks like.

As Always…

Stay Positive!
