Love Letter I

Dearest,

i've got precious and few words for you
for this won't be your first nor your ultimate
but this is without a doubt, true.

These words go beyond what the bare eye may see
and i love to talk about you and me
however, i can never get them to see
how much in this world you mean to me

Composed to the beat, melody, vocals of LL's and 112's Hey Lover,
i must confess, this isn't just some crush
because i yearn for you even when i'm with you
and i want to feel you in any touch
through words,tones, and verses

you're so versatile that even the cars racing by
got you touching me. Maybe i want to run away from these reality
but i'd be running from what you created for me.
it's definitely something about the way you smile
or when your distance is just less than a mile
as i said, not your ultimate but allow me to make love to your mind...

PEA

Shore Petty

There was nothing promised
yet everything promised
it often spew its mist
in a direction it wouldn't miss
my lips it's kissed
on many an occassion, it's missed

thou, how be it possible to be here
to leave, remove, live here?
like rewind on the mind
how heavy the weight on the heart
as rain piercing through porous surfaces
tear drops rolls down sad faces

shall thou be held accountable
it is not a fault
how precious are the dreams
moments,
moments will never come to pass

Gripping

Who is he
you ask
as if you must

do you not see
the way i lose myself
as i stare deep into
this glossy film
of pixilated confusion
creatively merged
to define
him

to whom love has lost
and now the soul
so attached
weeps

but such sweet notes
though bitter each bar
builds a melody, sings a tune
that only
you
will hear

The Cut

Dirty waters, it's your name
flowing through the ears
of the other,
on the phone
complaining
about disinterest in the name and

i'm sorry bout the way i treated you
no one comes close
cause
i yearn for your body
i sure do
and hearing that another's holding it down's
got me sick and shit

and i been missing you
you really had to find someone new?
but forget alla that
cause this bout me and you

I wanna hold you till the sun rise
look into your eyes
make love to you like it's the first time
meeting you, caressing you
needing you; do or die time

Baby, you ain't know love till it gets you
i hear you swearing bout you love him
but does he love you like i do?

-..-

He is slamming
and I'm more awesome
what's more alarming?
his hard heart or his
instant, raw ness

Type Two-Four

uninspired
even with all of this
slamming bass
deep within walls
soaking
damped with lyrical flow
there goes trees
cars, buses, trains

long winding roads
with many a miles to go
next exits, rest stops
lavatories
"we don't call it 'washrooms'
we call it 'restrooms'"
"oh, oh, aight"

cool, damp evenings
the beat decreases
long black lashes
thuds increases
they call it
strumming hard
on my 'guitar' strings

and with no strings attach
he attaches me
firmly
like the tag glued to my pack
and i want his lips to touch mine
yet he squeezes me
and i melt within his arms

the feeling he's creating
he senses
loses me, finds me
then loosens me
said i've had enough
"you're falling too fast
get some experience
come back to me
i'll fix you"

but i'm not broken
shaken maybe,
emotional,
somewhat
i don't remember the climax,
the story
who was the pro
the smart one
too uninspired to write
to complete a complete sentence
breathless
uninspired

[You *are the* One]

inspired by Lucky Dube's The One

i sit here listening to the voice
of a man torn
his daughter removed from him
"daddy, is this
who are now?"

tears welled
then rimmed my eyes
sorrow overcomes me
"i've removed myself from you"

does this mean
i no longer love you
or
i've grown away from you
geograPhysically
emotionally
that didn't occur as a
simple error

don't worry daddy
i'll get to know you
again
i'll get back to you
someday
don't worry
i'll never be
too far away from me
