I Just Don'T Understand It

And I know you didn't plan it
it's so hard for us to understand it
I love you, I hate you - I just don't understand it
One moment we're feeling bliss- like we're on another planet
you love me, you hate me...the story goes...we took our love for granted
caught up in memories, now everything's pixelated
everything spoken is debated
everything valued has been faded
what was token...has been broken
you used to leave my heart smokin'
- she flipped the tarot cards -
now I'm hoping...
instead of dealing with it...I'm coping
you promised me everything would be copacetic 
...but everything's gotten quite hectic
we lost our way- I can admit...I detected it
nevertheless...I didn't expect it
the process...I can't respect it
love...how you do love like that?
from dormant to torment
it didn't rain...it stormed
"and don't you tell me days like this is the "norm"
I used to think you were the bomb
I used to think you were the title to my poem
now I'm sitting here with my hands in my palms
thinking you could care less
cause everything you've done was careless
I digress...
I gave you your best
can't believe my reward is this mess
...it was never a contest...
but I thought we were each other's trophy
...and I know you didn't plan it
it's so hard for us to understand it
I love you, I hate you...I just don't understand it

My Icecream

so smooth you are-
the thought of you soothe's down my throat.
milkshakes, mocha latte's and root beer floats...
baby you are my chocolate chip, you're my honey dip
...and I just love the way your cream is whipped...
butter pecans, hot fudge and caramel
I love your taste and your sweet unforgettable smell...
everytime after tasting you...my mind dwells...
on the rainbow colored sprinkles placed upon you
there's no other flavor I wanna try beyond you...
hot syrup oozing all over you
-no matter cold or hot...you're my fondue
baby you're so good, I want double scoops of you
you chill my body in this heat
my favorite dessert, my favorite treat...
without your taste, I'm incomplete
- you give me this feeling-
I never felt...
and when I have you, my heart just melts
...I'll put you in my icebox to preserve you
you taste so good, sometimes I wonder if I deserve you...
slowly churned, soft served and home made...
...I like many kinds...but you're perfect just the way you're made.
I'll place you in my cone and put a cherry on your top
cause baby you're just like icecream...
good to the last drop!

Your Perfume

It's a smell that I don't know, but yet...it seems so familiar
it's a smell of all my favorite flowers--picked up, blended, shaken and stirred all in one
- tulips and carnations, daisies and roses...floating lillies and patches of posies.
this unforgettable smell, makes my mind wonder
exotic fruits and sweet blends taste bitter in my mouth, makes my heart fonder
it's a smell that lingers in the air...
gives me goose bumps and makes the hairs on my arms stand up and salute.
it's a smell I don't mind to swallow, a smell like a puppy, I follow
I inhale this smell like smoke, sometimes I inhale so much, thought I'd choke.
this smell like voodoo, have me under spells.
this aroma that spark my fire
light my flame
drizzle over your body like a mist
this smell has me hugging grounds and clouds I kiss
...this smell is your fragrance
this smell is your perfume.

You'Re Beautiful

Your smile, your skin tone...look at your hair
ha haaa...you're beautiful, yeah that's what you are
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful oh ohhh...
You're beautiful
You're beautiful oh ohhh...

From the first time I laid eyes on you, I'm not gonna lie, I had to sweat cha...
so beautiful and I still can't believe how I met cha...
it's so ironic how I get high off of just looking at you
...look at you
I'm on cloud number 9
a million years I thought it'd take me to find
someone so divine
but it's like I'm on planet Mars, it's like I'm riding with the stars
another galaxy...
that's what I feel when you're looking at me
let's put the world on pause, it's you and me forever
forget what they say...you and I sounds more clever
picket fence
green grass
your face
...let's make it last

I'Ve Got a Crush

candy yams- smellin' like spam...I like green eggs, and maybe some ham
lookin' like Gina, but with a shape like Pam...
I called and emailed her a dozen times, like spam
...she never liked me, always told me to scat and scram...
I'm tellin' you, she had a body like WHAM! and if I could touch her, I'd be like damn!
...in my dreams...we make love and we ram...
all night long, we just bam...
I want to get with her one day and we'll be a happy fam...
cause the perfect catch for her, is what I am...
why don't you like me...huhh excuse me mam...
about my feelings I'm not lying to you, this is no scam
we could go out for breakfast, did I mention I like green eggs and possibly ham?
...I'm so obsessed, it's like I'm possessed...I look thru her window and take pictures with my cam...
hopin' I could get my jelly and we could make it jam...
...cause she's so fine, she so sexy, she's just so glam
close my eyes, count 1, 2, 3...she will be with me
AL LA KAAZAM!


Green eggs and ham

A Poor Woman's Ballad

a poor woman's ballad, told in her p.o.v


I ain't got a dime in nobody's bank
...and I ain't got...just to be quite frank
I ain't got a paycheck from nobody's job
I aint got nothing...luckily, I don't go out and rob
I ain't got a car from nobody's lot
...and I ain't got...to be wasting in nobody's slot
I ain't got a house on nobody's land
I ain't got a pot to piss in, sometimes I pee in a can
I ain't got no jewelry from nobody's store
I ain't got it no more, cause they caught me at the door
I ain't got a stove to be cooking nobody's food
...and I ain't got a refridgerator to be keeping jack...cool
I ain't got the strength to be giving nobody a hand
...and I damn sholl' don't have a bed to be keeping nobody's man
I ain't got no butter to put with this toast and I ain't got no spread to put with this bread
...so therefore, I ain't got no food to be keeping nobody fed
I ain't got no cash to be letting nobody borrow a dub(20 dlrs)
...and I ain't got no money to be getting in nobody's club
I ain't got no fancy clothes, high-tech whatcha- ma- call-its or no shoes made by nobody...
but I do have a couple of things, thanks to somebody
you see...I ain't got no riches that could be considered wealth
but I went to the doctor yesterday, he told me I was in good health
I ain't got nothing really to be giving, but I woke up this morning...so therefore I am living
I ain't wearing no designer dress, but somehow, I ain't even stressed
I ain't got  no diamonds hanging down my chest
...but I'm good...cause somebody keep me alive...so therefore I am blessed

Starving

people look at me and they can't see... 
because on the outside I look as healthy as can be... 
but...I am not afraid to say, I am malnurished... 
lately I have been deprived from the main nutrients in life... 
I'm hungry for it... 
although I've had snacks 
woke up to breakfast.. 
and slept with dinners... 
I didn't feel full...to say the least... 
some1 offered to buy me lunch... 
I told her she didn't have enough, she looked at me confused. 
and I just left it at that, because since I've known her...a buffet is all she's offered me. 

yeah...I've had some that cook for me...but they seem to always be missing the most important ingridients. 
...I'll try all different spices...but I like to keep it mild... 
I haven't had that full course in a while... 
never make it to the dessert... 
...so I guess I'll keep looking over the menu... 
the menu that I've been reading until my head hurt's... 
I need some food for my thoughts, some food for my latest heart condition... 
I need to be replenished...and only true love can quench this thrist... 
because I've been starving and my waitress is takin too long....

Unzipped Lips

even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die
horoscopes often lie, tearful eyes become dry
jobs come and go, people you thought you knew, you never really know.
hello's become goodbye's
doing the lows, put you on your highs
what was occasionally is now often...
and what was often is now seldomly...
the words I LOVE YOU starts to sound rehearsed
...and the things you used to do out of love, now seems like a chore.
you're older now, past times that used to be fun, is now a bore
love has it's conditions, hearts can change positions
what was always, now seems like never
the sad days ain't getting no better...but the bad days make you more better
...and the places you thought you'd go, you never really went
...and the people you thought you'd meet, you haven't seeked.
...and trust me, you know when the rain turns into hail, but when all else fails...
U LIVE, cause that's LIFE.

U live Life

Bad Weather

You and I, we walk together
When it's raining...love, you are my umbrella.
with you, I know I can overcome any storm
we'll just stand thru it, arm and arm...
lightning and thunder
we are oblivious to the sounds...
so wrapped into one another-
...wouldn't even notice if an earthquake moved these grounds
rain drops glistening on your body...
I love to see water shimmer on your skin
-so we're going to play in this rain-
...LIFE
...it could bring us Hurricanes
but with you...
all the damage and pain the heavy wind brings...
I'm oblivious to the push...
so into one another-
...I could fly away and wouldn't even notice the wind's swoosh
while others panic on days like this...
we look into each others eyes, and we just kiss
...cause we know beyond this weather...
we have each other
and if this Tsunami should try to wash us away,
we'll float away together...
Tornadoes, we've seen our share, but we just stood there
-held tight onto one another-
cause we are not oblivious to the fact...
that after it all...
there will be a rainbow.

A Better Me

Yesterday I was the old me...
but when I met you, you somehow control me
baby, to tell you the truth...I need someone to hold me
Someone special to console me
I've been through a lot of chaos once before...
but you've whispered in my ear "baby, never...no more"
the feelings I'm feeling for you
...I can't ignore
can I be the one you're ready to ride for?
when you need me, my arms are open
I'll be at your back door
you seem like you could make me a better me
you have my view so clear, baby now I can see
are you ready to ride...this rollercoaster
no matter if it's up or down
fast or slow
...hold me down like you're suppose to
