Poem: Freely Us

Freely Us
By: Joi Maree Flowers

Walking through the crowd hand in hand
Like staring eyes don't bother
Like 'taint nobody's business but ours
Walking pass the questioning crowd hand in hand

Loving freely
Living lovely
Laughing heavily
Enjoying the moment

Of this love that defines us
In this world that wonders if it should accept us
Worrying not about if folks will welcome us
For we are US

An Us that no man can separate
An Us protected by fate
An Us spoken through
The lips of forever

Even if We are not seen as we see ourselves
Through the eyes of onlookers
Even if We are cursed by judgmental howlers
We will continue

Walking through the crowd hand in hand
Like staring eyes don't bother
Like 'taint nobody's business but ours
Walking pass the questioning crowd hand in hand

Poem: Tropic Destination

Tropic Destination
By: Joi Maree Flowers

Antigua
Bahamas
Jamaica
Barbados

An island of desire
To escape from the loudness of the every day rush
Alone or accompanied
For seclusion from the interrupted peace of the soul

Spring time
Summer months

April

May

June

July

The brightness of the sun
Smiling upon the blue sea

Closing my eyes
And becoming lost in a day dream
Until I open them again

Just to breathe in the surrounding peace

That I have been longing to say
Hello

To

Poem: Perfect Shade Of Brown

Perfect Shade Of Brown

By: Joi Maree Flowers

Like the color of Pecan
The perfect shade of brown
Glazed by the sun's glow
As it caresses the essence of his outer handsomeness

I become infatuated with his walk
I become consumed by speech
Hypnotized by his eyes
That entraps me as I fall victim to his Alpha

He is no dream
But a clear reality
Of a want
That I need

That I plead
To embrace me
That I plead
To not forsake me

He is

Like Cocoa
Sweet and addictive to my taste
Perfection in my eyes
He whom I want only as mine
