Soul Food in the Ocean

© Nov. 1, 2018. All Rights Reserved.

Eyes are dancing in the wisps of smoke.

Shapeless like sick souls ready to choke.

I stabbed a blind man while eating

To cook like fine dining while loving. 

Storing disposable emotions, 

I kill for the perfect recipe

Like mermaids from a thousand oceans. 

A trail of soul food won’t set me free. 

Love can’t be blind; love has to be Braille, 

But hell is the closest Love I’ll find

In the abyss like a wishing well, 

Aging with no home or food in mind. 

I’m thirsty; there’s no going behind, 

To say grace at oceans, for I’m blind.
