'I Went To The Joint, More Than A Joint She Was'
© Raul Cortes Jr. 10-17-2021
It was Friday night, the 8th of October, leaving work, I thought I must cop..
..Some herbs, speedwalking down RT-1 so I could get to the bus stop.
It was a smooth day, nothing out of the ordinary..
..the extraordinary was to follow..
..So that it could nourish the hollows..
..Of my soul, (constantly wrestling with forces heavy).
I feel the weight of negative intentions.
I feel the magnetizing of my sole's feet, in an attempt to slow down my ascension.
Living with addicts in the same house can keep your energy drained.
Emotion affects the atmosphere & can keep the synergy strained.
After I got off the bus, (so I can purchase herbs)..
I saw this otherworldly-looking..
Gorgeous, flawless black woman..
Which caused a paralytic reaction within the System of my Central Nerves.
The arrow ruptured my heart, traveling through the back of my shoulder blade.
I'm standing there unconscious, figuring what imma say that's to no disgrace.
The silence was pure, her beauty spoke loud & thus I got high.
I think about her all the time, 9 days later.. I'm still hoping I can get my sh*t together & sit in the presence of her divine nature.
With every great man, there was a great woman behind.
What is my greatness without her, if with her I'm greater?
She's the focus of my attention, my vision won't forsake her.
I move on inspiration, without that I'm star struck.
I'm a star seed & I'm about to look like star dust.
I'm better in her presence, the thought of her alone gives me a bar rush.
She's the beanstalk to my clouds, for her my success goes far up.
