LaTasha Diane Thomas Poems

Awakened by a gurgle of the stomach
Rumbling, Grumbling
Heavy regurgitation
Near the point of dehydration
...

Ding Dung...
Who could this be
There's a gentleman at my door waiting for me
In his hands two dozen assortments gaping behind
...

My love for you awaits...sitting at the old brook
Moonstruck, nose wide open at my very first look
Careless feet dangling
Sipping peach flavored ice tea
...

Smitten…Do you call me foolish for being a fool
Fuzzy bunnies and butterflies, I guess that's cool
Curious…All day I long for him to notice me or give me a simple wink
Does he even care about how I feel or what I think
...

I gotta hurry before the street lights come on
Loud firecrackers pop as I duck the drive-by zone

Open your eyes and stop pretending not to see
...

Your voice is cold
You're semi sweet chocolate hands feel of ice
You isolate yourself after igniting my fire
You have nothing to lose, so why be nice
...

I'm in love all over again
This time it's with my Creator not my neighbor
Infatuation had me by the throat, love said let her go
Keep your lustful, filthy hands off my precious stone
...

Contemplating suspiciously, should I stay
Remembering the blues caused by yesterday
Heart captioned with apathy
How can one return to what was once abandoned
...

Awaited by passion as sweet as honey
Your greedy hands chase me like thieves crave money
I bet you want to taste my forbidden fruit
Why does my full lips excite you
...

Pain hurts like a dagger in the back
Emotions spilling over, my heart is under attack
Silent as a lamb, no speech heard
Patiently waiting, but still not a word
...
