"Marcus and Patricia" Thu Aug-03-06 04:33 PM by ms mimi diva
( For the book Tryin' to Sleep...Because sometimes characters come alive...)
Oriole Slugger Cat in the hat lover Lives to paint Her Smiles
He’s gotta heart of thunder That frightens her Into fierce defense Ready for the pitch
He waits And wants Cotton candy mouthed For her
Never has such a whole woman Made him feel more like a man Bold, bodacious brassiness So warm and real He watches her With a quiet awe
This woman he’s been fussing with all his life This woman who knows his every scar From roller blade to handlebar This woman who tells him The truth even when he’d rather hear the lie This woman who has leaned into the curve of his lonely arm And made it a home
Beautiful women must camp out at your doorstep She says What would you want with me?
He smiles Awiite Woman, awiite.
If only she would let him love her With the lights on Love her changing seasons The rushed penciled in notes to herself The butterfly wing tips that span her dreams Wider than she thinks Her hips are, when she smooths them Self consciously And pulls on the short wisps of her hair
This woman who lives loud And is ashamed This woman who survived the cruelest love This woman who knows his heart like the back of his hand This woman who was done wrong Yet did right This woman he has been fussing with all his life He knows her every scar Butterscotch kisses each truth with love
As they stand there in the August rain White walls parted by a smooth black sky His heavy heart longs to remind her:
His lips long to taste her Yes, Beautiful women camp outside his door Yet this woman is the only one He lets in

let some in and got robbed couple broke things, wrecked shop blow ups - hot air ones loved to pop (easy!!!,not those blow ups) runaway ones you tried to stop
I have always loved this story, because it is a story of growth. It reminds me of the kind of relationship a man and woman can have when they respect each other. Marcus was a man, and I appreciated that.
