ITS ABOUT LOVE….

…Understand, me wanting to show you

how much my aura is burning to make your soul cum

the essence of our grandparents love.

Squirt the knowledge all down my erect mental shaft.

Leave the sticky eminence of how a man should rapture your being as a whole…

Goddess,that “teach me” how to love song by Musiq was written about us.

I can talk all the shit in world about sexual prowess,

conquering your lioness energy,

making discs in your spine quake from my back shots;

leaving back shocks, with these strokes of genius

I’m delivering.

But if there’s no more than a animalistic connection…

you just getting the hack sex of

undeserving dick demons of past

fucked the shit out of you;

So is wanting more than filling the God given bowling ball holes of you so wrong…?

It’s my belief,

there is a time, person, place and thing for everything/one.

But too many either hold back,

or don’t work hard enough to come hard to achieve it…

especially with love;

But all I can do is my best as far as you’re concerned,

see, you are poetry that’s God’s work

common man’s pen imitate on paper…

to claim your his perfection to insure theirs w/words

their copy isn’t right, because

when they write just go left field.

Parallel line kicking porn poets

F’n you up, down, side 2 side

with average creativity

they should know better than to

waste 3-5 min. or 15-30 min sets

of both your time and patience with;

But this is not bout…

Making you poetically, potentially pulsate

from your panties for my pleasure….

For the record, I could do that.

Though this is not the point I’m tryna prove.

Our “spiritual Exercise” can also consist of

an enticing stare….to humming 1 of your favorite love songs

on your neck with my lips…on your spot, there….

So hear…me….

but don’t just listen…feel me….

cause professing love to you is 4 play lip service

that a brother like me has never been satisfied with.

Words are powerful,

but actions make sensual and moist magic happen in the mind, body and soul.

And I intend to have you as a whole.

If you’ll let me…add to your happiness

And put a permanent smile on your face.

L.O.L. (LESSONS OF LOVE)

FOR A LONG TIME NOW,
I’VE FELT MY HAPPINESS WAS ENGAGED
TO THE ANGEL OF DEATH;
AND SHE ONLY PAID ATTENTION TO ME WHEN
HER FIANCÉ WASN’T AROUND
ALL OF US ATTENDED THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS,
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIFE

ONE OF MY MAJOR COURSES
WAS ONE OF MANY CLASSES IN
LESSONS OF LOVE;
THIS BANDIT BROTHER FROM BROOKLYN
WAS WET BEHIND THE EARS
WHEN IT CAME TO THIS SUBJECT,
NERVOUS AS SHIT.
NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT
THE NOVICE IN ME EXPERIENCED MORE LUST THAN LOVE.
ONE OF THE LESSONS I’VE LEARN SO FAR IS,
THAT HALF THE WOMEN I’VE MET OR KNOWN
HAVE THE PRE-MISCONCEPTION THAT,
JUST BECAUSE I WRITE AND PERFORM POETRY
THAT ANYTHING I SPIT AT THEM IS BS INSINCERE GAME;
AND NOT GENERALLY FROM THE HEART
IF THAT’S THE CASE,
TELL ME WHAT WOULD YOU CALL MISOGYNISTIC LYRICS
FROM A “RAPPER” THAT’S DESIGNED TO
MAKE YOUR LEGS PART FOR THEM…?
ADOLESCENT LYRICISTS THAT RAPE THE MC ART FORM;
JUST TO GET YOUR NIPPLES HARD AND PANTIES WARM.

SEE, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN
MY HAPPINESS ACTUALLY GAVE ME THE TIME A DAY.
IT CAME TO ME AT POINTS IN THE FORM OF A FRIEND,
LOVER AND IN UNISON
HAD SACRED DESIRE DAY DREAMS,
FROM THOSE DAYS TO THIS MOMENT
I’VE FELT THAT SHE WAS, WHAT A BROTHER NEEDS.

NOW I ADMIT IT,
I’M NO SAINT.
MORE LIKE AN OFF/ON SINNER,
I’M KIND OF A FLIRT.
BUT, FOR THE MOST PART I CAN BE ONE IN A FRIENDLY WAY.
THOUGH I’D BE LYING TO YOU BY SAYING,
THAT VERB, IN MY VOCABULARY DIDN’T COME WITH A PRICE TO PAY.
SINGLE OR ATTACHED;

WHEN ME AND KARMA BROKE UP A WHILE BACK,
SHE LEFT A SCARLET LETTER BURN NOTICE
IN THE CHEST OF MY AURA;
HAPPINESS BECAME DISTANT WHEN SHE FOUND OUT
AND READ THE SCARLET NOTICE OF PAIN
LEFT ME ALONE ON CAMPUS!

SO THESE WORDS ARE MOSTLY WHAT I USE TO STAY SANE.
SOME FORCE OF UNGODLY NATURE I BIRTHED DONE DAMNED US!
MAYBE THIS IS WHY MY LAST DISTANT LOVER AND FRIEND LEFT ME.
MAYBE MY LACK OF ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE BARE NECESSITIES
OF A RELATIONSHIP DOOMED IT FROM THE START.
SO MY BOOKS ARE ALWAYS OPEN…

THAT POSSIBLY ONE DAY I’LL GET THE FORMULA RIGHT.
THESE LESSONS OF LOVE AREN’T ALWAYS EASY TO LEARN.
PEEP THE CANDLES OF MY HEARTS WINDOW SILL
BURNING AT BOTH ENDS.
I NEED SORROW NOT TO BE CONSIDERED MY SO CALLED “SIDE CHICK”
MAKING IT HARD TO BEGIN A FRESH LOVE AFFAIR
HAPPINESS & I CAN BARE FRUIT THAT’S NOT STRANGE.

HOW THE HELL CAN SHE BE A PART OF MY FUTURE
WHEN THE 3 MAJOR TESTS; TRUST, COMMITMENT, AND LOYALTY
DON’T SHOW UP AS “PASSED” ON MY TRANSCRIPT…?
IT’S A DAMN TRIP HOW MY GOOD INTENTIONS
TURN INTO BAD HABIT TRAITS IN SOMEONE ELSE’S EYES!!

THIS IS NOT THE RANTING OF INSECURE MARTYR-ISM
TO CLAIM DESPERATE SYMPATHY,
LIKE ANY REAL MAN, IT JUST FUCKS ME UP
MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY
WHEN THE TRUTH SPEAKS THEIR SOUL
BUT I’M LOOKED AT AS A BOY CRYING WOLF.

SO HOW CAN A MAN BREAK DOWN A WALL
OF AN OVER PROTECTED HEART,
WHEN SHE USES HIS ALLEGED HEART BREAKING ACTIONS TO COME,
TO ADD MORE BRICKS…?!
IT’S LIKE I’M DAMNED IF I DO,
AND I’M DAMNED IF I DON’T!

SEE, ALL I HAVE IS HOPE.
AND APPARENTLY MORE STUDYING TO DO,
BEFORE I CAN TRY TO PURSUE HAPPINESS
IN THE FORM OF LOVE AGAIN…
TILL THEN,
MY CURRENT G.P.A. WILL KEEP MAKING IT CLEAR TO ME,

“YOU ARE NOT READY!”
