Do I Love Her

You say in the name of Allah, before you slaughter a calf, picture agony split -n- half, while the air inhales my pain, but somehow I still laugh, turtles see a different sight than a giraffe, picture an alligator biting a hippo in his ass, -n- the moon stinks 4 it hasn’t had a bath, while my stomach digests the meat of a king crab, pouring honey all over my wife’s thighs -n- abs, jealousy comes when one man haves, what the next man had, power vs. cash is like a broken arm -n- a cast, I thought she was beautiful, then she took off her mask, my emotions changed fast, this is poetry mixed with jazz, with a pinch of soul -n- a hint of class, do I love her like a commode loves ass, I bask in her panache, after life comes a toe tag, the air inhales my pain, but somehow I still laugh, picture agony split -n- half, do I love her, why ask.

Life it seems
Like forever, but
It goes by so fast
Of course I love
Her, you asked so I
Answered with
A laugh, life, enjoy
Her while she last
