be here burning

be here burning

A Poem by Shirlena

everything song with a heart connection leads me to a trail of your whereabouts

pine eighties and nineties soul music soon there will be no categories

mock these words for this reason there is a longing for the good way back


Heavy was a diddly  

ah Diddly 

Diddly

Dee


with B Boys and plaits of branches… ransacking on our brains

we was liking it…acting as a peacemaker when we were sorrowful

caught with cracked feelings from some man Du’ jour and you weren’t that man

and you weren’t even him tomorrow

mellowing on organic essential… you hear I said essential melodies

sit in the mall parking lot dragging without a club floor spotlight

but it was gone be me and Dwele tonight…whispering in sultry neo flair

cause there was no escape and no other place to turn

but the knob of the volume…for me to melt into obliviousness and burn

 

I’mma just let my head fall to burn dahling

and afterwards put my pastels on and be over you for a while         

well...until the next undulation

Wow what a powerful opening line! The title is fantastic!

You write with a quality of "aliveness" that I admire and seems to be of another 'dialect of glee' that I have previously ever encountered. I like the use of alternative spelling as in ' burn dahling'.

You would be an excellent song-writer since these pieces have a quality of surrealism that borders on trippy (and I mean that in a good way). Do you sing as well?
