this is pretty amazing / how you got me at hello at first glance / somehow caught my love-handle like a lost butterfly floating in space / solar system got me revolving around you praising you as my sun / son, I hold my breath as I wait another week just to breathe in your flow and out goes my mind to race you to chase you to me / only grow closer through those profound words gently placed in my ear / but I know it’s not ‘to’ me only ‘at’ me / as you share bare your heart with room full of stranged people / I salute you / I feel like I know you but you don’t even know my name / this story sounds too familiar it’s all one of the same / infatuation never-ending in its pursuit ‘cause I’m just too shy to walk up to you / and I blush as I wish to be your brother your mother much rather your lover / but really any other just to meet with intimate greetings of hi’s and good-bye’s / all I want is a chance to taste your words / eat your similies to be your poetry / it’s as simple as that / as implicit as this / see, every Tuesday nights, around eight I feel a little antsy just thinking about being in the same room with you / by nine my state of mind is crazed with debate of whether I’m gonna get a chance to exchange a word or two with you / as you stand on stage I gage all my attention onto you as I relate to every page of rhythmic lexis / wanting all of you to seductively sedate all of me / conjugating you and I as a pair as we / got me wondering whether you care to get to know me or not / do you?
a man like you got me tongue-tied in a love knot / but I’ve got no strings to pull ‘cause I don’t like to play games / I know this is a long shot but I’m no ordinary girl / I’m gifted than most chicks play ball better than most dicks / even make a jump shot or two over your head but shoot / how can I get across this case to you / sitting pretty in the front row here with my polka dot skirt / I wonder if you’ll ever notice I wore my favorite scent today / at the end of the night I sigh and stand around in the parking lot to cheat another look ‘cause your beautiful face will be the visual space that’ll fall perfectly in place to say good night / now feeling a little bit out of place I resort to living momentarily in my imaginary place / I trace your eyes to retrace what you see / hold your mind in place to read what you know / follow your poetic line of thought to fill my hollow state of mind / ‘cause I wanna know you inside and out / so, will you be my constellation of shooting stars as I stare up high at the sky and prayfully wish for one lasting kiss?
almost forgot this soft spot of mine was still soft / thought it was tarred and hard / these cigarette burns burned every part of my face / only to smirk and fear the opposite sex / those ingénued genuine words used to confuse me / misplacing all my love in all the wrong places / I may be a casualty of phened addicts looking for a quick fix / but you’re the enlightenment at the end of this abstinent tunnel / I’ve neglected living in the fast lane fasting from sexual feast / I’m not up for casual sex / I’m not about to compromise my endeavors forever be sorry for just one night of straight fucking ‘cause I wanna rock to the smooth making of love / so, can I be straight-forward with you / aim straight to your heart and claim and tame you as mine / do you mind? / sorry if this is starting to sound lame but this isn’t just another love poem / I want to frame us forever til death do us part / I know lately more people divorce than stay together / but I don’t believe in statistics ‘cause I’m not part of the ordinary / I will beat the odds and be the odd one / ordinarily I’m a pessimist but you’ve got me optimistically dreaming about you / you rekindle the faith that there are still decent men out there / and I look at you and I guess I want that to be you / I know I’m getting ahead of myself speaking in riddles / lovesick is bliss / is it too much to ask? / I just wanna take the time to find you out / know you and be yours / but the question is, do you care to find me out, know me and be mine? / do you?
