1/30 Full Bodied

over and over

as purple blues golds

replace darkness

the light creeps over my comfort

jazz blasts from my dresser

eyes open once again

ground roasted fruits

of someones labor

making all things possible

for the sleepy and incoherent

you are not a fickle lover

a giver

love me baby

make me whole again

***This is 1/30 poems for the national poetry month challenge. 

The Yes That Leads to Infinity →

a lovely book of poetry, love and light
