‘On Slow Burn’ was voted by members of WSA-R community as Literary Work of the Week (September 16–September 22, 2024).
When a stoner girl loves you, it’s quiet and low,
No drama, no noise, just a sweet, steady flow.
She’s calm in her ways, all chill and no heat,
But cross her and watch, she’ll rise to her feet.
When a stoner girl loves you, it’s mellow and cool,
No drama or fuss, she’s just breaking the rules.
Calm like the night, but fierce when it’s due,
She’ll guard what she loves, that’s most surely you
Her body count? Well, like an NBA game score,
High in the buckets, but she’s wanting much more.
She’s been around, but her love’s something true,
It’s in the way she shares every high with you.
It’s cool, it’s a vibe. Boy, boy a life on slow burn,
But you wonder sometimes, will she ever return?
Is there life left in it, or just smoke in the breeze,
A love that drifts softly, like wind through the trees?
She’s deep as the sea, her silence a song,
You’re caught in her current, for however long.
Loving her’s easy, like waves on the shore,
But will she stay steady, or drift off once more?
