PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I saw you first so before our eyes actually met I had the upper hand.  And as you stand there explaining in your most articulate methods how, where, and why the weather is so dry in certain places we study each other faces.  Both of us looking for that reaction in the other that could mark someone as their next "ex-lover."  But remember, I'm up one so that makes you the woman standing well within range of that smoking gun which is my intellect and as I collect your personal information and demographics we both laugh and get kicks from each other's jokes trying hard to cloak our true intentions.



Let's face it lady, you want me and I wanted you the first 2 seconds after I said, "how do you do?" I desperately wish we could kill the scharade considering how we both just wanna get laid but the masquerade continues on into the early eve when I realize that it's time to leave.  Well, I've made my presence felt and all the cards have been dealt with each hand filled with "good-meaning-bad" thoughts about how we ought to be cooking each other breakfast the morning after.  A chuckle here and there but no serious laughter because I'm cool and you're at work.  Lord knows we don't want some jealous jerk hatin' on this chess game we're playin' 'cause I'm telling you where I'm stayin' temporarily.  In the back of my mind I'm thinkin' "in all due time that shi* is gonna be important information...

So I wave my goodbyes as we give each other the "goo-goo" eyes that speak much louder than words.  Hell, I don't think you heard anything I was saying anyway, at least not that day.  Later on if we decide that you're safe and I'm safe and not psycho and head for the bed then I know that all of a sudden your words and mine will be like gold to each other, like money to another, and like white rocks to a crack-head sucker.  What I say and how I say it will sound like butta scotch to your mind and fa-sho your words will be like acupuncture to my spine bringing down all of the negative emotion while your hands glide over my body like lotion or cocoa butta after a dip in the ocean that is you.  Make no mistake I won't fake and not take whatever shot you give because every coach I've always had said to wait for the game to come to you, watch your back, play loose, and have fun so that you will always win a game of One on One.
