The Way I feelBy Nikki Giovanni

i’ve noticed i’m happier
when I make love
with you and have enough left 
over to smile at my doorman

I’ve realized I’m fulfilled
like a big fat cow 
who has just picked
for a carnation contentment
when yo0u kiss your special place
right behind my knee

I’m as glad as mortar 
on a brick that knows
another brick is coming
when you walk through
my door

most time when you’re around
I feel like a not
roberta flack is going to sing

in my mind you’re a clock 
and I’m the second have sweeping 
around you sixty times an hour
twenty- four hours a day
three hundred sixty – five days a year
and an extra day
in leap year
cause that’s the way 
that’s the way
that’s the way I feel 
about you
