Life or something like it....

Another piece I did at open mic last week...yes I'm posting late because I was too lazy! lol but here goes.





I LOVE YOU



Can't nobody love you like I can

from the tip of your head

to the bottom of your toes

baby I know

and you know that



I love you



With skin that melts in your mouth

and not in your hand

it doesn't need a tan

but if you do,

the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

so I ain mad, I'm just a fool who's

crazy in love with your

midnight eyes that

compliment your immortal tongue

that lick shards of my shattered soul

upon the ears of everyone

that listens saying



I love you



So I pay homage to you

and your mind blowing curves

that slip and glide

into fluffy thighs that

make me...

drool when I'm so captivated

by your crooked grin

and every other beautiful imperfection

that should be a sin

every time I say



I love you



Your personality never ceases to make me laugh

in the bathroom, on the bus stop

or on my way to class

I'm ever conscious of you

and what others think

but i just don't care

what, when or who's there...

I will say

Mental Slavery


Held down by invisible hands
On warm sparkling shores
Until we ignore the thoughts
that like sweat, trickle
down our backs
And sink into
Cracks that
Sting
Like
HELL!
Seducing caresses
Wonder over
Our mind made body
against our will
And take us over and over
Until they’ve had their fill
No not again we haven’t taken our pill
We cry in whisper instead of a shrill
Beaten and bloodied
Please?!
We are the brain
Not openly for sale
But already bought
and
Bonded together by
Steel instead of
Original thought
So
Who ?
What?
Where when and why?
Are just mind bound questions?
Questions we never see answered
Because we are to scared
to ask
so we let them
Stifle our creativity
Limit our mental mobility
Yet we raise our gun fingers
To the songs of the all
Mighty and righteous
Bob Marley
Before we emancipate
Our selves from this
Seemingly unbreakable
Mental slavery.

I really don't know whats crawled up in me lately guys.....another poem comin at ya! But its so not like me...ugh...or is it?? ;-)


You Got Me



Averted are my eyes
desperately trying to get lost
in the shadows of my mind
not willing to be caught
captive
enmeshed
entangled
in midnight colored irises
that render me helpless



looking up
looking down
finally brain shutting down
into total darkness
until
the deep melodic song
of your voice
rises and falls
then dissolves
the walls I built
to nothing but rubble
I'm in trouble
as you make a request
I got it
on the double
as I am
back in the bubble
called you.



air is scarce
Wrapped tight
but still breathing you in
can't fight
nothings ever wrong.
With you, I'm alright.
Needing some
hooked on phonics
doubting my intelligence
because no matter what
I can't seem to read you.



Walking into the room
oblivious
you are
no need to say hello
one look and
before I know it
hook...
line....
and sinker.....
you got me....







and you didn't even know it.
