Ezra

My name means ‘to help’ and that’s what I’m here to do ! Whether it’s through my writing, a helping hand or a listening ear.

[Ezra @Ezwrites24]

Folding laundry.
#Butterscotch in the pocket,
of jeans I’d forgotten.
I wore them to the beach in late July.
Remember the heat ?
You feed me candies you don’t like.
With my eyes closed.
Sweet surprises, with kisses
in between.

#Bordeaux in my liver,
makes bad memories shiver.
Till they start to wither,
disappear and die.
But when they do,
a piece of me does too.

Waking up in your arms.
Is where I aim to be.
With a quick wink, and a little #charm.
Let’s see where things might lead.
Hopefully to your place.
Nestled among the trees.
A cozy abode filled with lustful notions.
I pray my eyes don’t deceive me.

#harp on.
About the things that make
Your heart beat.
I’ll listen on till the sun sings
It’s final song.
when that day comes
I’ll know your song moved my
boat across the sea.
To that island, on the horizon.
Your song, my sweet shore.

Come over
#Sit beside me.
And Shower me in your bliss.
I want to know how you love,
like the sun shines.
the love you carry,
like a summer dream on ecstasy.
Be my calypso,
Put me to sleep so that I can wake up breathing in a new dream.

In #between here
and last year.
Stuck in now
Still wondering how.
Things moved so fast,
and how they didn’t last.
You’d think,
Since life goes by in a wink.
It’d be easy to remember
The shape of your face in late December.
Of the last year.
It isn’t.

My manners? I fail.
Falling flat on my face,
Making pleasant mistakes.
When tradition says,
I shouldn’t wait.
Why rush through life?
forcing sand through the hourglass.
For what?
Death sooner?
Slow down.
Fall on your face a few times.
And enjoy the ride.

What you #lust for.
Is simply to be.
What they want you to lust for,
are fancy cars, new TVs.
Smartphones, to keep you at home.
To keep you seeking and unfulfilled.
While they sit back and count bill$.
Be aware of what they tell.
and what they sell.
paradise in hell.

Lately I’ve been in life’s #maw.
Thrashing about like a rock in a dryer.
I’m trying to grasp
for something to hold.
A special hand.
But the only place I can find it.
Is in my dreams.
So I thrash like I do.
Waiting for sleep.
Till I see you.

Wandering the streets.
A shine in the eye.
Looking for the wrong things,
to make everything all right.
Dark red wine, powders so fine.
Howling in the night.
Seeming so #lupine.
Remember every wolf,
has a pack and a home.
Remember that you aren’t alone.

All my life,
I’ve felt #weird.
I rush toward things,
most people fear.
I run from things,
most hold dear.
Everyday is a struggle.
To find a life time rhyme.
I tried to sing, I wanted to skip.
Now I crave quiet,
and some rest for a bit.

Pretty face
#ugly heart
Bright dress
Light hello
Drinks flow
Dancing close
Uber share
straight home.
Use me,
To forget
Your stress.
Love me like,
I mean more than the rest.

Moving fast.
Holding tight.
Going to crash.
But I don’t.
#Bail or fail ?
I clutch tighter,
push harder.
Surely I’ll burn this time.
They say to burn is to learn.
And I’m familiar with the sting.
All I’ve learned.
Is to slow down at the curves.

Bottle at his feet.
Cigarette butt, in between his finger
and thumb.
He sat #torpid
comfortably numb.
feeling his buzz.
Anticipating the next one.
“Why drown your pain in downpours
of alcohol rain?”
He said, “you do it your way.”
“It’s all the same.”

The small house by the beach.
That Audi, the job that truly values me.
#Everything.
It’s all grains of sand in a desert.
You’re the oasis,
that gets me away from it.
Help me wash the sand from my hair.
So I can forget desire.
and swim next to you.

Your time is yours, #mine is #mine.
Don’t tell me to spend it,
working everyday till I die.
No thanks!
Oh.
No choice ?
I see.
Well, then I’ll spend it writing.
experiencing it alive.
Rather than going through motions,
Simply dead inside.

Back to the sea,
To put my toes in the #foam.
To that that old place,
I used to roam.
The high sun,
warming my skin.
Remembering the feeling,
Of being close to my kin.
I’m going home, to the sea.
Please Let me arrive safely.
