All I wanna do is spend some time with you,
but I only got 3 weeks and a cent worth of change
that's just enough to afford me 22 more days of
wishful thinking credit.
All I wanna do is reveal to you EVERYTHING!
From the smallest nothing to the biggest something
that emcompasses all things in me, I want you to
see my everything and out of all things, I want you
to spot your importance to me as a big something in
my life after all.
There are so many things I can tell you!
I can tell you why this is now one of two poems about you.
I can tell you how cute you are for 58 days straight and
add another 78 days so I can subtract 2 years from
the 136th day and get the same feeling I got the
first time I saw you under a "more-than-just-friends"
light.
I can tell you how I define the phrase "I miss you" and then
correlate it with the future tense "I will miss you."
But, there's something that I can't quite tell you yet - at
least not while I'm writing this poetic line.
It can be found in many forms: some musical
others psychophysical
If you wanna search
it's encoded in the chorus of Brandy's
"Say You Will"
it sways to the breathy tone of Usher's
"Can U Handle It"
it glides over the neo-soul harmonies
of Tweet and Bilal's
"Best Friend"
and lyrically
it blends together
sensitivity, sensibility, and sexuality
to display to you my
sensuality;
the cool mix of sexysmooth
chilled with a liking
for old 70's soul vibes and
modern R&B croonings.
More searching will lead you in the direction
of memories flashing you back to those moments
where sarcasm ruled our conversations under the
dictatorship of playful cynicism.
But lately, I've been dreaming about having conversations
with you that make us search each other....
search each other....
pass thrusting pelvic urges,
pass "lip-to-flesh-to-fuck" fantasies,
and pass all other overdrives below-the-waist
in order to find....
that something which draws
you to me and me to you.
What draws me to you?
Almost everything visible to me about you!
In my eyes, you signify many things that are me and
a lot things that I wish could be me.
Contrasting between
"the one" for me in the
ultimate relationship and
"the one" who supervises
me with protective care
proves to be a
mindtwister.
But, my mind ain't twisted when I quote a popular booty-hoppin'
singer in saying: "I see my future in your eyes."
YEAH! I see you being around for awhile,
but beatin' around the bush don't
help when it comes to telling
you that:
I LOVE YOU.
I love you in a way that's sho'll as hell
ain't as deep as Destiny's Child
singing "Dangerously in Love"
but it can still be brought to life with
the mello-acoustic stylings of
Lauryn Hill's "The Sweetest Thing."
You know I still want you in ways that can't be legalized as of yet, or written in the confounds of this poem.
But for now, all I want you to do is say:
"DAMN! This is a beauitful poem"
Before I say this was beautiful, I would like to say this was a distinguished and an excellent poem that I enjoyed much. Thanks for sharing.
