Eric Boddie Poet Ballad

A Man's View of Love

“A Man’s View of Love” 
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Why does the blame always fall on me 

Is me being the worst the only way that it can be 

For your mere enjoyment, I give every bit of myself 

You’re more than my woman, you’re my greatest wealth 

And I only ask for your understanding for the days that it rains 

But, over the simplest things, you have to nag and complain 

Then there are those days when I can do nothing right 

Because before I walk through the door, you have already started the fight 

I have never cheated on you, and I pray I never will 

But sometimes girl, you make me want to get ill 

And if I do cheat, it will be my fault, and if you cheat, it is still mine 

Because the blame falls on me each and every time 

And God forbid that I be late because I’ll never hear the end 

I don’t even try to fight because I know I can’t win 

I just have to take it and take it and take it and take it 

My only hope to calm you down is to try to get you naked 

That is my power, my only advantage over you 

Because no one has ever brought you pleasure the way that I do 

Don’t I lick you and don’t I stick you just the way that you like it 

And your g-spot, with every stroke, don’t I strike it 

I give you your greatest pleasure, and you cause me my greatest stress 

Because you think I want other girls, but I understand that I have the best 

And I’ll jeopardize that for nothing because I need you to mother my every child 

Because the most beautiful thing God ever created was, simply, your smile 

Not how it looks on your face, but how it reflects the beauty in your soul 

Which is why I love you baby and with you is the only way I will grow old

Pandita Sietesantos July 31, 2015 at 7:34 PM I love this excellent piece, Eric - this is telling it like it is! Many women appreciate this kind of deep committed love, passion, and devotion from their man! But unfortunately, so many are too insecure to realize that when they don't have enough trust in their man, become overly possessive, and jealous, they may spoil a good thing and drive a good man away! In every successful relationship, there has to be a great level of mutual trust or else it will certainly fail. Great write! Pandita Pandita Sietesantos July 31, 2015 at 7:41 PM You are absolutely right, Eric - with God in the middle, true love can weather any tempest and will endure. I love this poem! Eric Boddie July 31, 2015 at 7:38 PM thank you pandita....that is why I try to tell the young people I know to Build Around God....then you will have True Love that will last....I am glad you like this though....;)

Charmaine Chircop July 31, 2015 at 6:19 PM I love the reality of this poem , some women all they need is more praise and re-assurance ..Insecurity gone means trust regained...Im glad you can still see her beauty behind her little flaws.. Love it, Eric Boddie July 31, 2015 at 6:48 PM thank you Charmaine....the only way to truly Love is to accept....you have to accept a person for who he/she claims to be....at least that's how I feel.....and this is a real old poem of mine....the reality of it is long over with....lol

Poet Destroyer A July 30, 2015 at 11:32 PM I like your view, Eric, maybe you should hand a copy of this poem to every man, who has no clue. LOL, don't be late, never will you hear the end of it. I have a relationship, where I trust my man, we don't live together anymore. He's on tour and I decided to move on forward. We keep things real, though. I know he thinks I'm the best, you get a bit naught here. This is a fun to read poem, I am smiling... Always ~LINDA Eric Boddie July 30, 2015 at 11:44 PM the truth will set you free, but as you should know, most women don't really want the truth....it sounds good when they say it, but the track records are all the 'evidence' I need to know better....lol
