Medicine

Tiamáni Shyne 1999 (Utica New York)



Your presence is medicine
To my existence
Something about
The way your
Energy feels
Intertwined
With what
You mean to me
And what these
feelings mean
You keep
my mental at ease
Rare
To find something
That puts me in
a place of
immediate peace
My poetry
Besides you
Is the only
Thing that does
that for me
It’s like
You help me
Escape
To a peaceful place
You tell me to walk through the door
You lock it
& the key throw away
 you look at me
Smile and hug me
And tell me that
you’re in love with me
Something about
Your eyes
Makes me forget
About the level
Of confusion
within my emotions
it’s like your
heaven sent to me
I’m Tired of the same
Thoughts running
through my head
But you are rest to me
You make me forget
About what’s stressing me
 even when I feel like
I’m drowning
in my emotions
You save me
Your presence is medicine
To my existence
My existence is medicine to your presence
