For You, Sanaa

shuffling my cards

to seek something new

something true

something oooohhhhh....

I found you face down in the deck

I hope I got a good hand

the hand that will caress

your face

everytime I think of brown sugar

and the soul you possess

within the calm of a violent storm

I got you covered for life

the hand that will put you

to the challenge

between love and basketball

winner takes all

I have a heart that will provide warmth

anytime you're out in the cold

trust me, it will be magic

I just hope you don't pull disappearing acts

on me

I wish I had the power to freeze the clock

and saturize what we can achieve

hope I'm not out of time

I have the character of a predator

waiting and watching you at bay

for my appetite is quite on low range

not to ramble and fumble my words, but

if I happen to be the best man

will you be the queen of my dreams

Key word....."dream"

that's the ticket to a

round trip to reality

but at least it was something new

Ant,

Once I got past the fact that another man has his eyes on my Sanna (LOL)I realized this is another tight write from you. Keep making them words dance across the page/screen.
