newness.

you inspire me to create a new form of poetry
something more liberated than freeverse
because/ i don't seek to contain you

my new friend

not tryna label our thing
before the kindred we share
has a chance to grow
before/our newness manifests sweetness
with every kiss
every kind word
every mindful gesture you bring

this affection surrenders any walls
we can put up to protect love's we both desire
yet walk a slow walk
to ensure this connection ain't clouded
by heartache & wrong-doings experienced
before we existed to each other.

beaming sun, you make my moon rise

and i refuse to let this freshness go
for you/or me
i'll only allow our growing love to roam
free
for it is destined to return
as you do each day
to our thing
making me mo' better.

love
come
down
on
me
/hard.

mmmmm newness

aaaaah newness

yes
newness...
