Two Summers of Love

Two Summers of Love

A Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey

A second marriage
Left me in Babylon
With no Exodus in sight
The handwriting was
On the wall as the number
Was scribbled
On the divorce decree
Child Support $$$$$
For baby girl
Circa 3/21/2004
My twenty two week old
Less than two pound
Miracle was born
And survived and is
Thriving today
I remembered the first
Time I tried to leave
As separate bedrooms
Left cobwebs between
Her legs and the closets
In my soul
Angry that I had
To beg for affection
So I started to do some
Spring cleaning
When you pissed
On that EPT stick
I was soaked in
The urine of deception
I needed to cleansed by
The truth
But my angel could
Never know that
I wasn't sure if she
Was mine to freely roam
In my heaven and
Be called my angel
My heart could not
Let her play with
Pandora's box
That's no toy
For a grown up
Not alone a child
And now I have
Experienced two births
My daughter and
My celibacy
Divorce came
Visual acuity
Was slow and painful
Distracted by
That South Beach
Life Style
Living on the 12th floor
In a condo facing
The ocean
Sleeping on the balcony
Most nights
Even when it rained
My bedroom was
A graveyard where
Desires for flesh
Ceased
R.I.P.
In my favorite watering hole
She came and my life
Would never be the same
For four months she went
To war with my celibacy
And finally in a dimly lit apartment
We did it upside down on
Her apartment floor
7 years gone in flash
No more
Now for that pleasure
She got a trove of treasures
Condos note paid
A Benz and Yukon
I managed to get me
A dually and a viper
I should have listened to
That car
I should have left
Going from 0-60 in
Under four flat
Was better than where
I was at
The court paper I found
On the floor
Charged her with being
A w***e
I spent over 300k
Or more
Bankrupt from
Two Summers of Love
