Don’t Say Love
You say you love me,
But I don’t believe it.
I know what Love is,
But how do you perceive it?
Love to me is happiness and pain,
Trying and trusting,
Through the sun and the rain.
The good times, the bad times,
Most of the time it’s a struggle.
Not cheating and leaving
At the first sign of trouble!
Love’s not a word
To be thrown around lightly.
Love is a feeling
That’s all powerful and mighty!
Love at first sight
Is not something in which I believe,
Only through time
Can love be achieved.
Don’t...
But I don’t believe it.
I know what Love is,
But how do you perceive it?
Love to me is happiness and pain,
Trying and trusting,
Through the sun and the rain.
The good times, the bad times,
Most of the time it’s a struggle.
Not cheating and leaving
At the first sign of trouble!
Love’s not a word
To be thrown around lightly.
Love is a feeling
That’s all powerful and mighty!
Love at first sight
Is not something in which I believe,
Only through time
Can love be achieved.
Don’t...

Poetry is Therapy
Poetry is my therapy!
Without you, I don’t know where I’d be.
The Pen is my therapist,
I let you in my mind where all my thoughts exist.
You don’t have any degrees,
nor doctorates,
But for the price of your sessions,
I must insist!
You’re my nonviolent outlet that helps me cope with life’s anxieties.
You help me understand my feelings when I deal with life’s tragedies!
You let me get things off my chest
when best
for everyone involved,
To keep it close to the vest,
when silence lets the problem be solved.
It’s...

Extra Words
Why do we feel the need to small talk? Why is silence awkward,
and we must speak when we walk?
Don't you know money talks
and BS runs the marathon?
But we be auctioning off our words
like we on a telethon!
Hush, be quiet,
haven’t you heard that silence is a virtue? You’ve been talking all day
and your mouth is past its curfew!
I mean I've got no problem
with meaningful conversation,
but talking just to hear yourself talk,
is like boring masturbation!
When we talk,
but have nothing new to say,
my mind...

Held Hostage
I refuse to be held hostage by the pussy!
I’ve never been a cheater
But don’t push me!
I don’t like to play games so I’m telling you upfront
If me stepping out on you
Is not what you want!
I’m not a child so why do you think you can punish me?
I wasn’t born yesterday
I was established in ‘73
This ain’t news to you
I told you this before you married me.
And right now is when you wanna pull this shit out on me?
I think you forgot, your not the only one who possesses...
And I’ve fantasized about others, I have to confess...
I’ve never been a cheater
But don’t push me!
I don’t like to play games so I’m telling you upfront
If me stepping out on you
Is not what you want!
I’m not a child so why do you think you can punish me?
I wasn’t born yesterday
I was established in ‘73
This ain’t news to you
I told you this before you married me.
And right now is when you wanna pull this shit out on me?
I think you forgot, your not the only one who possesses...
And I’ve fantasized about others, I have to confess...

You Just Don’t Know
The way I lay down my love so gently,
Makes all the other men in your life resent me.
Wit’ their Jealousy, Hatred and Penis Envy,
You’ll never find another man like me this century!
Knowing exactly what you want,
Not knowing if you should ask,
Remembering how other men did you wrong in the past,
“What’s he really about?” You say,
“Can he really last?”
Let me take care of your needs, over the rhythm of Jazz.
Baby relax your mind, just listen to the beat,
While I kiss on your thigh, and massage your feet,
Slowly work my way...
Makes all the other men in your life resent me.
Wit’ their Jealousy, Hatred and Penis Envy,
You’ll never find another man like me this century!

Fool For Love
I’d always believed in love,
I was born a romantic.
Unfortunately I’d also believed in people,
And I thought I knew just the trick.
You see what made sense to me,
Was I thought that if I could be,
Every fantasy for a woman,
She would be every fantasy for me.
I mean I’m not selfish in nature.
Shallow? A bit, but not selfish.
You see I don’t expect to get something I’m not willing to give, in that sense, I’m selfless!
I’ll give everything I have to the one I love,
I just expect the same in return.
I mean I think that’s logical, ...

A Man Will Be A Man
A man will be a man!”
Why must that sentence mean bad?
Does it have anything to do with my youth,
And all the women I’ve had?
That’s all in the past
And it doesn’t mean I was unfaithful!
All it means is experience,
Not to honesty I’m incapable!
That’s an unfair stereotype
That all men have been accused of.
Those of us wrongfully blamed,
Our rights by women, we’re refused of!
Why can’t we be judged,
By who we prove to be?
Don’t treat me as suspicious
If shady, is not in me!
If I never lied to you,
Why is...

Me
I’m quite the conundrum.
Although I make perfect sense, (too me).
Vulnerable yet confident.
Confusing because I’m honest.
I know who I am but you do not.
I’m strong in my weakness.
I can ask for help without being taken advantage of.
I listen to advice and act on it, as long as it’s not foolishness.
I’m loud in my silence.
I’m accommodating in my defiance.
I’m a loaner in my reliance.
When I’m lonely, I’m comfortable.
I’m rarely alone.
I love reassurance, but I’m uncomfortable when I receive it.
I’m afraid of being...

Never Good Enough
You’re so emotional and you think I’m just too proud
You say I don’t listen so that’s why you talk so loud
But that’s not it at all, actually the opposite is true
Whatever I try, it’s never good enough for you
Men are not that complicated
There’s only three things that we require
To be fed, fucked and respected
Is our only life’s desires
But your emotions change like the weather
Every 30 minutes or so
You expect me to be a psychic
And that’s just not logical
I would love to be in sync with you
Where our timing was...

I Can’t Save You
I wish I could save you from his lies
But it’s not my place to say it
There’s a man code in these streets
And I’m forced to obey it
Me and him were friends before we knew you
Even though we have a connection
But since y’all have been in a relationship
Me and you can never show our affection
I wish I would’ve met you first
Because I think you could’ve been the one
But who would I be if I professed my love
When you two already have a son?
I’ve told him before to stop cheating
But my warnings always falls on deaf ears ...

Temptation
Everyday I look at you
I wonder what it would be like
If we gave into temptation
That could only last one night
A forbidden encounter
That could never be spoken
But when our bodies join together
All the rules would be broken
I imagine in my mind
How passionate it would be
If our self control was eliminated
And for one day we could be free
I would take you in my arms
And remind you how it feels to be touched
I’ll help you forget all your worries
And remember how it feels to be loved ...
