    hello love

    Posted on January 16, 2019February 10, 2019By : B.J.S.

    It’s expanding I can’t believe the way that it swells and grows It’s unlimited This is love When you touch me You turn the key to time Everything stops except my mind racing to imprint memories of flesh and heat This Is love  I want you Close to me in a number of ways  OnlyContinue Reading “hello love”

    “Ambition”

    Posted on August 12, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    I keep feeling like people’ve got ambition all wrong. All my ambitious brothers and sisters chase the images and figures they see televised. The glamour, the fans, the money, the businesses bearing their name. Why not chase the mindset of those happy with their success? I aim to be respected, to share my joy, toContinue Reading ““Ambition””

    Inconvenient

    Posted on July 30, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    Love never was meant to be convenient I knew the timing was bad when I met you But isn’t it always bad timing? Maybe not Cuz now I’m thinkin’ that it all was doomed from the start Curse me n my foolish heart The “anything could happens” turned into urgent replies of “Don’t put yourContinue Reading “Inconvenient”

    Wasting Time

    Posted on July 29, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    Are you still not sure if this is gonna work?I feel you pulling backTaking precautionsOrange warnings popping upThey keep telling me toSlowDown……….. But I’ve got no fearsWhat are you really afraid of?Are you afraid that you’d have one more thing to work for?Seems to me you’ve never been afraid of workingEven though it’s perfectly reasonableContinue Reading “Wasting Time”

    Angry Inside

    Posted on July 15, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    I read this book once that told me not to watch the newsLike, every time you turn to it, you’re greeted with the blues.I wish I would’ve listened.I wish I would’ve given,Less time to the bullshit, but you’re in the same position. And it’s not just in the paperNot just on your TV,It’s everywhere thatContinue Reading “Angry Inside”

    Tangents (Part 1)

    Posted on July 5, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    He smiled at me.One of those wicked smiles that’s both an introduction and a finale.I couldn’t help but imagine him imagining me sensually.In my mind he was admiring everything about me that could be appreciated at a moment’s glanceand I was here hoping he liked what he saw.Because if he did, he might be moreContinue Reading “Tangents (Part 1)”

    Summer Shantys On the Beach

    Posted on June 28, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    When was the last time you really felt free.Life was more to you than the jobs and the grind and working without pauseIt was actually just a moment in time…I miss the once upon a timethat was something sublime. That water could have drowned usbut it kept me aliveStops made at the corner storethen aContinue Reading “Summer Shantys On the Beach”

    Dimension

    Posted on June 27, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    Free thought, expansion, extension, dimensionI want it parts.Better yet I need to lay claim to that. Man, I swear if I don’t start I’ll never finish and that’d be the biggest disappointment. See, I’ve got caged bird syndrome. I know I was made to fly. But three walls seem to keep my lips paused and you aren’tContinue Reading “Dimension”
