Missing U

I hate calling.

I hate the sound

of your voice on the phone.

It makes sport of my emotions -

aggrieving me that you’re not home.

Although your words are crisp and clear

I cannot feel the humid air

carrying your love and kisses

like dandelion wishes

on a breeze over my ear.

I am aggrieved.

at one time or another

for having similar affects on a brotha.

but intellectual stimulation

commingled

with flirtation

and good humor

will sell me on you

like an educated consumer

so much sooner.
