Dear Miss Jane

Dear Miss Jane,

The attraction I feel towards you is undeniable
And always has been since our first kiss.
That intimate puckering of the lips
And sensual intake of your warm breath
That has uplifted so many before me
Much like it will after.
Whenever we touch, my fingers stick to you.
And for a moment I can feel like a worker bee,
Swimming in your ever so sweet honey.

Your pungent smell intoxicates me,
Filling my nose with natural aromas,
And Your herbal fragrance drives me wild
A skunky odor I've always craved.
Your emerald hue comes in so many shades,
Every tint from fluorescent lime to deep forest,
And each pigment leaves me entranced,
Timelessly gazing upon your form.
The lavish diamond jewelry you don,
Proudly sparkling in the light,
Lays gently upon your entire mass.
Like the first snow on natures hair.
Even the dreadlocks you often model
Come in a variety of dyes.
The bold reds, fierce purples, and subtle oranges
Serve to accent your jade figure.

Since the beginning of our romance
You've brought back genuine joy to my smile,
Returned imagination to my mind
And restored the authenticity in my laugh.
You bring a pleasant dimmer to my scrutiny
Of the world
And a new appreciation for flavor
As well as insightful enhancements
To the nuances of euphonious melodies.
You massage away the worries between my ears,
Unlike anything I've ever had before,
Until my burden simply melts off my shoulders.
And for that, I thank you.

Unfortunately, our audacious relationship
Must now be put on hold,
For despite the many delights I gleam
From our tumultuous love affair,
The fact of the matter is:
I can't lean on you.

Feelings of melancholy
Overwhelm me when I consider
A cessation of our forbidden liaisons
Yet, it is that very sensation
That has caused me to review
The viability of our affiliation.
Though you willingly cleanse my mind
Of fearful preoccupations,
My self concept requires clarity.
The distinctiveness of my psyche
Has been fogged for too long
By my consistent entanglement
In you.
And I must runaway now
Before I can no longer see the mirror
Through the smoke.


One day
We will be able to resume our fine partnership,
And rekindle the persistent flame
To regain the familiarity we once knew.
And when that dawn comes
I will fall into your caress without hesitation,

But until that fateful morning
I must extinguish my flame
And sleep alone.

Always Yours,
D
