golden gleaming gourd ©jnbarber, revised 2013
golden gleaming gourd
the gracious galaxy
from the gritty ghetto
shines amazing lights
the great gleaming gourd
pours out grandma’s gumbo
may i taste
from your distant
scrumptious sky
the ethereal silver spoon
makes my heart rich
with dynamic day dreams
of springtime memories
going outside for precious play
from the sprinklers to the streets
water falls under you
and love shines above me
the days dazzle from beaded beams
tangled jungle branches shade us
pure emotional possession
not physical obsession
laughter shakes solid structures
eye to eye passions held mirrored
without red floor regret
pure and good
innocent erotic
summer sessions
let love be
like us
naïve and nice
once again
we escape the watching world
behind indulgent doors
express timid ecstasy
tingling temptations
rapid ravenous rapture
love push past lust and
hands pull
grasp
envelope
entangle
and
send sanctified chocolate
cruising sweetly
out of this world
out of control
stop
intentions
mediated preventions
wild hair and glare
but never crushing the rose
I desire to be your everything
and anything
let me place my hands upon you
please
free me from this
nervous twitching
and crazy sinking
let us start without end
bumping
listening to West Montgomery
and bending
beyond belief
as we grope and grind
seems like love
without the demise
around the globe
not the world
ghetto love
sure feels fine
