I remember it was a cold
snowy Philadelphia day when
he passed my way
his Jag silver and glittering
like his eyes he was so fine
I wasn’t surprised
His soul was electric body
was swaying as his Timberlands
was side stepping in my direction
Every inch of his body I
respected in every way our
lips parted and a smiled
escaped
He got in his car as I continued
to flow while my heart begin to
glow
I had to grab my soul stand
firm breathe and take control
felt like sunshine with a
California breeze
I knew I had to be cool get my
composure brotha had me weak
at the knees
Dark rich chocolate a black
sweet berry full of pride
and cultured esteem
At that moment eternity was mine
I was ready with open arms to
receive it each time I pass that
street my mind retrieves it
you see quietly meditating trying
to maintain my mental stability as
I inhale the breaths of life he
gave me that winter day
And even though it was just a passing
glance he made my heart dance to
destiny’s beat
Traveling the road before me was
a scent a sweet melody a subtle
hint that we will meet again one day
