More For Her/Them

Current mood: exanimate

I am hot on the trail a a new poem about all te girls I let pass me by. There was a break in the action, so I went back to the Blue book. (Its a book I wrote in and I am typing the poetry from it in to the computer so I can compile my book.) What I came across was one more poem for the girl I wrote for before. I began to think (DAMN! I wrote a lot for her!) But then I came to the next poem. I wrote that one for a different girl. And I went back to the time when I wrote it. The girl in the second poem turned up pregnant and left alone since the last time I saw her. At the time, I was afraid of the same ting happening the the first girl ("Something for Her").

All of this ties in to the new poem. It seems like I write the same poems over and over in various ways. I think I keep it fresh and new. And I know I continue to improve. I hope, what the new poem will show is a new way to look at the same topic. But I ramble. Here it is another two for one!
Be good everbody!


For Someone Else's Girl

I am confused because nothing is fa'sho
And I am unsettled by what little I do know
Like knowing that I love you
But I don't know what to do
I am so sure this love is true
But there's something more in this truth
Do I love you as a friend
Or simply as a lover
Or are you the one other who will be there till the end
If so, how can I stand
To be with you after
After longing so much
How did you become so priceless
So compelling to my touch
How do I tell you
And make you understand
How would I even know
You think of me as more than
Any other man
A friend
A lover
Worse, someone plutonic
Or would you make me sicc
And consider me just another…
On down the road of life
Could I be your husband
To my wife
Can I perform for you
I know I can be true
But will I ever do
More than stay confused
Can I face the truth
Would I waste youth
Chasing temporary dreams
Can you mean less than you seem
Are you just another player on someone else's team
Or are you truly clean
Still naïve to all things unseen
And still lacking in finer things
Inexperienced
In the difference
Between love and lust
So eager to trust
Me, he
Anybody
Lucky enough
To be the first
To gain your trust
And the one thing I fear
Is that you will never hear
My voice upon your ears
Ring so true we all come to tears
And let you feel
The emotions I keep within
With my heart in your hand
I hope you'll understand
That through all these years
It's you I hold so dear
And want to be near
I wish I could make it clear
I want to know more than a name
I want to play more than some games
I want to make it plain
I want to be in your like
As I want you in my life
And when comes time to choose my wife
I can look to my best friend
And you will look back and accept me as a friend

Lover

Man

And

Husband





Hoes

Can't treat every girl like a hoe
But every girl I meet turns out to be one
And it sure as hell ain't no fun
Cuz I never got none
I didn't even shoot one
Not even a little bit
Ever slipped out from my tip
Not one drip
But shit
It ain't like I even pursued the butt
I just wanted to gain the trust
But when another comes with lust
Fuck being a goddess, they'd rather be sluts
Not that it was her though I hated
Simply I was totally devastated
That she could have ever mated
With niggas so lowly rated
Who degraded
Frustrated
And demonstrated
They were on some fake shit

Why could they never understand
That a true man
Has no other plans
But to hold hands
Maybe explore mammory glands
But nothing more than
True romance
Cuz a true man
Can wait to lay in the sand
Till he has enough Trojans
To prevent the unplanned
And never has more planned
Than
To be a good man
And will only be a father after a husband






U DID THAT!!!


I like em both, but I like all of ur writings.


Keep it coming Mr. Writer hopefully 1 day I'll get an autographed book of poetry or stories & what nots from you. ;)


I like that you coupled these two poems together. It reminds of how people have the tendency to put the objects of their desire on these uattainable pedestals which in reality, sets them up for failure. That person can never live up to the unrealistic expectations that we set for them. In he end, you feel like a fool for believeing that they coud in the first place.


Awww. You're so smart! Smarty Art!!


The first one was like a sad fond memory of past relationships that seem to have dissipated. This is so true, the fear, trust, dreams, and reservations that drive our relationships to success or failure...
The second one was a little shocking. Almost like they don't fit together. But still true, as I think many men resort to categorizing women as whores when we move on.


I never knew people would see the second one that way. I never wrote about any woman who moved on. I almost exclusively write about women desire or desired to be with and never did. I have written a few for women I actually dated but its rare that I would do that. But interesting comment. I do feel that way. My feelings were hurt when I saw the inspiration for "Hoes" had become yet another single mother.
