'Not Just At Night' New poem by Jay Dizzle

‘Here is another Poem for ‘Its Braap’ that is fun/sensual... Enjoy’ Jay Dizzle

Jay Dizzle’s first poem, ‘SON OF AFRICA’ was warmly received by our Braappers and we are pleased to be sharing more of his work. ‘Not Just At Night’ is a stark contrast to Jay’s previous piece which aroused strong emotions. Previously Jay looked at the history of his ancestors and shared their determination to conquer injustice and fight back.

‘Not Just At Night’ is a beautiful written piece mixing fact with fantasy and taking us on a wind down trip ready for the weekend! Jay has the ability to engage his audience and draw you into his imagination with such ease... yet just while you’re relaxing with all your sensual awareness heightened Jay says, ‘Take time to heal yourself’ which opens your mind to encompass all sorts of things! ‘Not Just At Night’ is a very skilful piece of work & your comments would be appreciated! Thanks once again to Jay Dizzle for sharing this with us.


NOT JUST AT NIGHT

Do you hear that?
The soft spoken words of jazz
It’s early in the morning
Not too early for a nice bubble bath
Hop in the porcelain tub of 6 feet
Lay your body down
And enjoy yourself with a dash of heat
Pull your hair back and tie it in a knot
Relax and sink down
And forget what’s not
See there’s a candle turn to your left
The sky blue one
Labelled warm spring aqua fresh
Unwrap the candle and light the fire
Set it in the window
And dream of your desires
Take the grapes off the plate
And sample just a bit.
To your right is a bottle of champagne
The one you acquired last year
From your studies while in Spain
Pop the bottle and pour half a glass
Let it bubble to the top
Be smooth about it and not too fast.
Turn the music up and snap your hands
This is the jam you love
The one from ‘save the last dance. ‘
Adjust the bass so you feel it in your bones
Make your eyes bounce a little
Have fun ‘cause you are home alone.

Look over the picture and you will see
The hypnotic ocean
With the color of burnt sienna green.
The roll of the ocean helps you relax
Continue to sit there
And just ………relax.
Take the soap and wash yourself
Don’t do it in a hurry
Do it slow and embrace yourself.
All this can be done while you first awake
Does not have to be at night
Before day breaks.
Take time to heal yourself
Think about all
And enjoy yourself
