"Ain't In Love"A Poem by Raef
My God.
I can't breathe. And I'll stay that way 'til I get out from under all this TIMBER. It ain't love, I swear to you. I've never met a lumberjack but man can a man eat after a day of cutting. And a life of walking? Man.
Surely, sorely am I to be sore when sore ain't the beginning of somebody's problems: I jump away from cables and tires and screaming kids and so do they; only difference is one of us is falling hard and let me tell you sonny, ain't nothin' has ever made me fall harder than her. Forgive me but I do believe I am the
chauffer? And do I ever mean you kindness but
let me talk about her eyes. I've never met her, and I never will but man are they ever prettier from this far away. I think they'd be prettier much closer but hell, I'm far-sighted. And a man that can't a-see t' HERE
Ain't a man but a
rag. But let me ask you, man, if never have I ever used a rag that failed me? No sir-ee. I hardly know, I know, what I came to
drive on about. Maybe the time of day,
or maybe the color of her eyes.
The sky is somewhat likable
in that swirl of green I call
her right eye.
Maybe the sky should'a' been
green
'stead of that one color.
Or two or three; I seem to recall it has an identity crisis every
god
damn
day.
And I think I'd sleep better,
rest easier,
if the way above me was paved in her birthstone. © 2015 RaefFeatured Review
