The Seasons Of Him
by Taneka Stotts

he came
talking that smooth jazz shit
in his autumnistic ways
spitting spiritual rhymes
he changed all seasons
with the blink of his winter
reason was in fact out to lunch
so i prepared
for this spring of attraction
by making my psyche bloom
but he lullabied me awake
and his melodies
stayed in my head for days
because the madness of summer
would soon strike me down
breaching all barriers
with a pool-side kiss
i was in fall denial
cursing the rains of contemplation
as his monsoons
washed over my body
blowing all assumptions out of me
it was the season of him
the year i fell in love
