Drinks on Me

I have been extremely busy living life. As a result, I have not been able to post anything for a minute. I have two partially completed entries that I will post soon. So to pass time, I decided to share a poem that I wrote more than a decade ago. Enjoy!!

Drinks on Me

dim lights, loud music, the smell of cigars in the air
i blend in like the elements of the atmosphere
in the clouds of darkness, suddenly the sun appears
as she walks by, all around her ceases
naturally, I stop, I stare
college student caught in the midst of washington, dc
dont worry because tonight the drinks on me
conversation flows like the rain outside
as i sip on her intellect, my mental opens wide
off the aroma her soul manifests
the satisfaction of my indulgence results in my desire to rest
not fatigue, more so the rest of my life
not wifey, but truly a potential wife
my blood continually rises to the highest elevation
every moment that elapses is a precursor to creation
the rebirth of life in the present
caught by the rapture of her essence
glass half full or half empty?
dont worry ‘cause the next drinks on me
as the end of the night draws closer
i set my glass down on the wooden coaster
grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear
"wherever you want to go, i'll take you there
when you are afraid, i will protect you from your fears
when you seek comfort, i will be there
when you look around the corner, i will be near
for the man of your dreams has magically appeared."
as we approached her final destination, i said goodnight respectfully
anything else, the drinks on me, literally
