40 Poems From POMEGRANATE FLESH by Strider Marcus Jones

HERE I AM THE SAME - Love Poem by Strider Marcus Jones/Pomegranate Flesh.

HERE I AM THE SAME

here i am the same

sitting in the dark with you

turning out the stars

that won't do.

from the dimmed grain

light of coffee bars

they look so infinitely plain

against the black backdrop

countless where time can't stop.

once,

everyone has a once-

they lit the canopy

on that journey

now only

tickets of buses and trains

and notes that grew out of numbers and names.

around midnight,

i mull them with moonlight

and stand out in their youth

from this heavy slated roof

i've settled under

and wonder

will i ever find

another time to penetrate

and fascinate

your body with my mind.
