Lovelost

Phase II:

  Cocoon

  hold me

  i need a woman that can hold me down

  really, i just need a woman that will stick around

  after she`s been around my mental town

  seen my ups and downs

  my smiles and frowns

  and still wants to help pick me up off the ground

  don`t get me wrong i can get up by myself

  but sometimes even the strongest brotha needs a little help

  see i`ve been out here livin fo self

  through like 32 revolutions

  so i`m tired of spinning, i`m tired of lovin and losin

  tired of pickin and choosin

  chicks that never should have been chosen

  leavin my mentality frosty and my heart frozen

  but i`m changing and growin

  into the man i always shoulda been

  a brotha that can bring home the bacon and take the time out to be a friend

  a lover and a healer, down to ride till the end

  so let us ride together

  and when the road gets rough our love will get even better

  stronger, lastin longer than even the toughest tempest

  because for me thunder and lighting no longer hold my interest

  only you can keep me coming home to roost and rest

  and help me pass any life test

  baby my life was a mess before you found me

  that`s why i always want you around me

  because you comfort me

  whenever you hold me

  not for just one night but for all eternity

  internally i was bleedin needin a nightingale to save me

  what i got was a queen, a mother, and a lady

  baby, the haters may play me but they can`t fade me with you in my life

  because we are a cipher a circle that cannot be broken

  and i`ve never been this open to anyone

  but your not just anyone

  you are the one and only sun that i need to keep me warm

  you are the one and only moon that i need by me in the gloom

  we bloom like african irises coming together through life’s stresses

  when i think of your ebony tresses

  i get visions of you in wedding dresses and me in a tux

  baby you`re stuck with me because i`m never letting you let go of me

  so just keep holding me

  never let me go

  As We Lay

  In your eyes I become happily hypnotized and fall into a daze

  Melting like a well-licked lollipop from the heat of your summery gaze

  Deliciously drowning in your double puddles of chocolate sensual mystery

  There is no hope of ever rescuing me

  With just one touch from your silken skin

  I feel the electric shudders beginning from within

  As I sensually shiver from aftershocks in the afterglow

  All of my senses disrupt, and my blood stops its flow

  These feelings I cannot deny I just want you

  With your transcending beauty that belongs to so few

  Ever since you entered my cipher and claimed my heart

  I’ve come to realize why between us Cupid aimed his loving dart

  So step closer to me let me bathe in your perfume

  As we dance beneath the moonlight in Mother Nature’s ballroom

  And let me wipe away any tears of hurt and pain

  Because my love will never leave you I will always remain

  By your side as we lay in fields of dandelions and tulips

  Our mouths press closer together beginning our two soul’s eclipse

  In this midsummer memory of a time not long past

  Until eternity will my inner fire for you last

  For this is dream from which we never have to wake

  To those hurtful realities of strife and heartache

  In these moments we rise above all of this

  Into the realm of love and peaceful happiness

  Just promise to stay with me through the good and the bad

  And I will promise to give you the most fulfilling experience you have ever had

  Because of my love for you my beautiful soulful queen

  Let us sail away on love’s Lake Serene

  Allowing the wind and fate to push us where they may

  As through life hand in hand we make our way

  There are not enough words to express how much you mean to me

  As we celebrate with each passing day our love’s anniversary

  In Bloom

  In another when...

  I found my Rose again...

  ...And as we retreated to our corner of the garden wilderness, to plant our roots down deep. I stole kisses lightly from her petals, remembering why love was so sweet. My rose continued to bloom for me. In this, the spring of our happiness. The wind was light. The sun was strong. Then came the ultimate test. It dawned upon me like a daydream, that i could not take my rose with me. Away from her life in the garden, to spend time with me by my stream. Tears then descended from my eyes. Landing on the grass between us. I only longed to remain in her vicinity, until everything else became a memory. For in all of my days of wilderness wandering, I had never been able to find. A creation as beautiful as this, and a love that i could call mine. She tried to stretch her roots to me, willing to follow me to the end of the woods. But to love her best i had to let her go, my tears leaving water for her to grow…

  I left the garden that day, my heart heavy like lead. But i vowed to return to her often, to lie in her flowery bed. Each and every time thereafter, that i found my Rose again, was like a dream come to life. Kissing time away under the foliage, hand to petal, and natural life to natural life.

  We pollinated each other, in the garden my Rose and i. I had found the perfect lover. We took root beneath the trees. And unlike with any other that ever came before, my love and affection was always pure. I never strayed. As our love grew wild as a field of dandelions, and as sweet as a jasmine glade. I received exactly what i came here for.

  Together again.

  I would not wish for more...

  8th Wonder: I Wonder

  I’ve never seen the Aurora Borealis emblazoning a cold winter’s sky

  But I have seen the fireworks when I look into your eyes

  I’ve never scaled Mount Everest and stood at its glorious highest precipice

  But I have been sent higher by the force of just (1) kiss

  I’ve never walked the length of China’s Great Wall

  But I have watched in amazement as down your back you let your dark hair fall

  I’ve never been guided to shores of Alexandria by the blazing beacon of the Lighthouse there

  But I have been utterly mesmerized by the sensuously hypnotic quality of your stare

  I’ve never visited Olympia or the fabled statue of Zeus, God of the Greeks

  But I have waited hungrily to gobble up every word that you speak

  I’ve never stared in awe at the incredible beauty of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon

  But I have been pondering, which is more beautiful, you or a new day’s dawn

  I’ve never knelt humbled by the greatness of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

  But I have been humbled by how you make beauty look effortless

  I’ve never paid homage to the great souls that rest in Halicarnassus within its Mausoleum

  But I have valued you as more precious and priceless than any artifact in any museum

  I’ve never sailed beneath the giant legs of the protective Colossus of Rhodes

  But I have in your honor written many an ode

  I’ve never trekked through the blazing desert to gaze at the Great Pyramids of Giza

  But I have gone to insane lengths just to please ya

  I’ve never stood within the mystic ring of Stonehenge and wondered how

  But then again I have neve
r felt the way I feel right now

  The truth is I haven’t been to many places in this world or seen many of its wonderful things

  But I have felt so in love that I wondered if you would accept this diamond ring

  It’s not an Aztec Temple, the Egyptian Sphinx, or even the Taj Mahal

  But I wonder if together we could be more wonderful than the total of them all

  I wonder…

  Earth Angel

  You must have got all the beauty sleep you ever needed before you were born

  Because you are the epitomy of the female form

  Your soul has this warm comfortable glow

  And whenever I mention We and Destiny you simply reply, "I know."

  I could write 1,000 poems each for your eyes, lips and hips

  From the crib to the grave I wanna be your love slave

  Besides all that you're the only woman besides my momma that ever got me to behave

  And your mind

  Your mind is so fine

  I wanna wine and dine your cerebellum at the hyperthalamus cafe

  I want to join your left and right brain in an embrace and then jump in the way

  I want to search through the card catalogue of your every memory

  And see if you remember me from a millenia ago

  Now only God can save me

  And judge me

  Because I`ve found an earth angel to love me

  You’re the only one that knows how to touch me

  Deeply

  Mentally

  Physically

  Spiritually

  My life’s purpose becomes clear

  When you whisper in my ear

  Sweet something’s that send me spinning

  I know I’ve loved you ever since the beginning

  Ever since Adam and Eve started sinning

  In this winding road of life you taught me how to read the signs

  To value my mind and recognize my heart

  From the start

  Of a love deeper than the Trench of Marianis

  I’ve been lost and found in the depth of your eyes like the city of Atlantis

  If I could have planned this

  The script would not have changed

  Except I would have asked you on the first day we met to carry my last name

  Because in the portrait of life destiny is the frame

  That holds us together through the storms this life brings

  I want to make this an all life thing

  You make my soul sing

  Sweeter songs than canaries in the spring

  You shine brighter than the flawless diamond ring

  That I gave you

  Now I know there’s nothing on this Earth greater

  Than you

  My earth angel

  commitment: the (3) keys theory

  (34) years ago

  i got pushed out

  i’ve spent the last (34)

  trying to get back in

  deep within your love’s den

  where the lights are dim

  but the fire keeps blazin

  amazin, ain’t it

  how our energy and synergy combine to be more priceless

  than any painting rembrant ever painted

  you think i say that to all the stars in the sky

  and all the fish in the sea

  yet still you feel compelled to be with me

  and i with you

  because sometimes the simplest things are true

  like how a lust thang grew

  from a small sapling of sexual escapades

  to a love forest the size of the everglades

  we make a fly team

  so fresh and so clean

  i smoke you and get enticing epiphany’s

  of buying you (20) karat diamonds from tiffany’s

  but i’m gettin ahead of myself

  i’m catchin feelins like the flu and it’s been ruinin my health

  that’s not how the game is played

  so why do i find myself daydreamin about all the delicious love we’ve made

  and will make for years to come

  i don’t give a fuck that all my boys think i’m being dumb

  cuz i know i’ve found the (1)

  that lemon yellow sun to illuminate my atmosphere

  with each kiss you evaporate my fear

  and i want to revolve around you

  i want to dissolve within you

  until you go supernova

  or until i meet jehovah

  i’ll keep saying ovah and ovah how much you mean to me

  with my hearts purest sincerity

  you give meanin to this thing called life

  just one smile from you and i forget about my stress and strife

  my friends call this phase going under the knife

  but i call it taking a wife, joinin my cipha within yours

  makin (2) equal (1) from our hair follicles down to our pores

  and no matter what rain storms may pour into our lives

  i know i’ve found that prize for which many people strive

  but few ever find

  what we’ve got is one of a kind

  and worth fightin for even worth dyin for

  because with each breath i breathe i love you that much more

  that’s why i’m no longer afraid to admit

  from my lips to god’s ears baby i commit

  to love you in sickness and in health until death do us apart

  i do give you the (3) keys

  the (1) to my house the (1) to my car and the (1) to my heart.
