The Spoken Word Poet Pt 1

As I sit by the bar sipping my drink patiently waiting my turn./ I felt the heat but fought 
the burn./ My heart begins to pound./ I had to calm myself down./ Before my feet touched 
the ground./ So out of my seat to the beat to take that chance./ No; no; not break out and 
do some crazy dance./ Try something I've never tried before./ See, I first noticed you when 
I walked through the club door./ Yes, kinda watched you discreetly./ And I wonder if after 
this piece you would be interested in me?/ I hold the mic, so I'm in control./ I'm about to 
give a certain woman a bit of my soul./ So as I stare into this crowd,/ My eyes don't have to 
search the room.
Because silence can be so loud, speaking in volumes as I study you!/
       I confess, you possess a divine elegance rarely seen./ You're like a fantasy straight out 
of my dream./ I saw you whispering to your friend./ Does it matter the color of my skin?/ 
Where do I begin?/ No, I'm not necessarily looking to "score"./ I'm looking for more./ I 
promise to be a little ecstacy you've never experienced before./ I'm a simple man, a cool 
cat./ Who's "been there and done that".? I'm what you'd call "laid-back"./ I enjoy taking it 
easy./ I admit I can talk a little greesy./ I will not use pointless pickup lines - that's cheesy./ 
Allow me to pick your brain./ Possibly entertain you./ Conversation that's easy to maintain./ 
You won't be disappointed getting to know me./ I offer myself freely./ Hope you're digging 
my energy./ There's no place I'd rather be./
       I hope my words don't sound absurd./ So allow me to express my desires in your 
curves./ From your pretty toes./ To your cute nose./ I bet you smell like a rose./ I wish I 
could hear "Janet" singing "That's the Way Love Goes"./ More precious than diamond rings./ 
Your luscious lips are a feast for kings!/ Your aura is contageous./ Your body is outrageous./ 
Your Bambi eyes to your yummy lips./ Your sexy thighs and curvy hips./ You're killing the 
game in that dress./ Hope you don't mind if I further express./ This intense hunger in my 
chest./ Bottom line, you're so fine, so damn incredible./ Every sexy inch so edible./ Your 
heavenly body makes me delirious with desire./ You have me on fire./ If my words sound 
too strong./ I refuse to admit I'm wrong./ Because passion has no fear./ I'm about to put this 
piece into fourth gear./ See I'm playing for keeps./ My language may be deep./ Only 
because I'm unique./
