Boogie, Man! Go Away! Poem by Kewayne Wadley

There is a boogie man
That lives in my heart
I first saw him when I introduced
You to my lips.
There is a boogie man
That lives in my heart
Without doubt,
You keep him at bay
On nights I can't sleep.
I turn over & see him face to face.
He confessed to me that you
Should leave.
This boogie man that lives in my heart
finds you very beautiful
His hands filled with deep scars,
His eyes the only speck I see.
Its natural to adorn
Someone like you.
Someone so out the blue,
A chill to a paraplegic spine.
This boogie man disappearing
In the blink of an eye.
This boogie man finding heaven
In light of a funeral.
Once you are gone
This boogie man sings hymns
Of your name.
He once confessed to me that you
Should leave.
But me,
I hope you stay for a while
