Drive By 2

 

A tall dark chocolate morsel

a drop of Kaluhi

a hint of passion

stopped me on the street

 

I was picking out flowers at

an outside market

he smoothly walked up behind

me and sniffed at the back of my neck

I didn’t jump cause I peeped him

out the corner of my eye

 

Said he smelled my aroma from

a distance it was sweet as

butterscotch 100% juicy off the

vine my grapes were so divine

 

Said he seen me a million times in

his dreams told me to close my eyes

and hold out my hands

a few seconds passed I felt a waxy

crackled paper across my palms

 

I opened my eyes there lay a dozen pink

roses with one red rose in the middle baby’s

breath and a card that read

“We will meet again my sweet one”

 

All I saw was the back of him walking back

down the street swaying Timberlands lying

and body saying I’m yours for the getting
