Slow Bloom

I woke up with Koa and mocha blend coffee

With a breakfast of Trader Joe's lemon meyer biscotti

All this time of growing

I still end up unknowing

how I end up living without my own house

When I was young and reading stories at my Lola's

I was sitting with a cat named Charming on the sofa

I was reading about saints, hermits and poets

It seeped into me their dreams

Their way of living

Then slowly in my subconcious mind

I am living that life

Why do I complain

When my ex boyfriend said it right

I am fine when I am alone at night

New dreams and a new day I face

I need to survive this new crazy phase

I must make it to the other side

Went bowling with my mama and sister last night

between them I got the higher score

After all the talking and the bantering

Its all jokes but sometimes it sounds like more

Now I come as new unlike before

I dont want to marry for a rebate

I dont want to hear its too late

I am a slow bloom

God saved room

In the garden for solar power afternoon

This is what I will be

A lady eternally free

old habits die hard

for some reason he is the closest to heaven so i feel blue when we part

oh love if only I knew where you are

If only homes weren't so expensive

we force life

only to give it a chance to sink or swim

even in the eternal dark night God still brings the sunlight

God saved room

I m in the garden for a solar power afternoon

its okay to be a slow bloom
