sleep with you (no sex)

Can I sleep with you
just sleep

no sex

I want to enter your house in the evening
and become familiar with the odors and scents
that linger in your lair

I want to bring a small bag of groceries
and mix up something I saw on food network
while observing the contents of your bachelor cupboards

I will arrive freshly showered comfortably dressed
while you comment on my casual appearance
no make up
just gloss
you like my freckles

Im am only here to sleep with you
no sex

I continue simmering and sizzling ingredients
I found some left over peppers in your fridge
from when you had dinner with her
so what

I will give them a new flavor

We name our top 5 emcees
90's hip hop blares
you tease me cause my team is out of the playoffs
that shit is old news
but
you dont know what else to say to me
nervous
but Im only here to sleep

now satisfied
full sleepy
my cigarette
and your green
burns
the smoke
twirls in the air
we talk statistics
about which plant
my tobacco
or your cannabis
will kill us
our smokes collide in the air


teeth are flossed and
brushed
I cleanse my face
and inhale the scent
of the face cloth you said is mine
I just wanna sleep with you

I hear jay leno
tell jokes that are actually alright
but we are too cool to laugh at that shyt
I think if I wasnt here youd at least watch until the commercial break
you scurry for the remote and find adult swim

I climb into bed in a too big t-shirt
u retrieve a book of poems and explain to me
you havent read the book
but the nigga that sold it to you
had some long ass
locks and odd jewelry

was exchanging info about a vegetarian dish

with a girl who looked all neo-soul n shyt
so you just assumed he was dope

you make sure i like my pillow
said your mom gave you these sheets when you came home from college
and you havent had time to get more
I yawn
I know you just havent had the money to get more
there are so many more important things
in my mind
I give you approval
you work hard
but dont make alot of money
its cool
I like you

thats why I just wanna sleep here with you
but no sex
though
you read to me
from the book
of poems
turns out the nigga was dope

I yawn again
you splash the covers over me
washing away the manic flight
of thought in my mind
and introduce me to relaxation
thats why I wanted to sleep with you

no sex

your body naturally conforms to the shape
of mine
this shirt is too big
so your imagination gives you my dimensions
you overestimate my beauty
as i hear you try to breath slower to feign sleep
Im glad Im here with you
I just wanna sleep with you no sex
ok
maybe a little sex

Changes (freestyle)

Sounds like the birth of a star when he makes love to her
Explosive changes in her DNA the first time he held her hand
Changes in the cosmos, the cells,The seas,the sands


She is covered in his fingerprints
encased in his kisses
Heard love Bellowing her name
didnt know she was even on the list

Her heart is covered in inspirational ink
recorded her inner monologue
elicited by his love

His scent lingers in the air she is transported to a
time when he was
there
his lips amorously against her neck h
his fingers dancing in her hair

Her footsteps sound different as she walks on air

Each time he sees her
he leaves her with gems
to place in the pockets of her soul
to saill with her through eternity
more than a memory
a permanent fixture
he and she together make a mellifluous melodious mixture

She chose him

Because the look in his brown eyes
is as ancient,mysterious and eternal
as the Egyptian sands

Because the heat in his touch
ignites the fire within her
freeing her spirit to dance

Because he goes so
deep
his heartbeat
momentarily sustains her

Because his scent
not the cologne
his scent
places perfect memories in her mind

Because his flavor
satisfies an innate
craving she could have never described

Because his existence
is evidence of the perfection
of The Creator of the universe

Because a piece of her was sworn to him before
her birth


She chose him...

She comes first

Seeing The Creators Collage of Perfection
Confirming That Here On Earth ...There is a Reflection

Feeling Like 30,000 Feet
Dancing To an African Drum Beat

The Aroma of When He and She Collide

Sounds Like he Wants Her To Be First To Arrive

when u come home...hug u

Eye Eye

When I awoke I could not see
Almost instinctively
Panic
Frantic
Then your Scent
Heaven Scent
Draped me in Tranquility
A Sea of Serenity
I feel I am Meant To be

slowly my sight returned to me
but first a taste
a taste that reminded me of your first kiss
a taste that reminded me of when you first came

it tasted like Gods first rain
containing traces of Opium
when you come...
It takes away the pain

Now i catch a glimpse
then I feel your healing fingertips
cascade across my face
the old scars are erased

U put everything In its proper place

I hear you soothing me
moving me
building a nation and including me
improving me

Now I see

I followed the path in your
eyes
like Hamanaptra

in the sunrise

Only to realize
I am in your real eyes

In the corner of your cornea
resting in your retina
in your pupils at peace
In your Optical Organ i see the love you keep
and now me I live in your eyes behind
your lashes Lush like
plush like
Black Lace

Of the world I used to know I see no longer a trace
who knew gazing in your eyes could take me to another place

melodic Tears

I wish you would have sang this song six months ago
wrote me a letter
a poem
or this captivating song
instead we went about things
horribly
messily childishly
brutally wrong

How disconnected we've been
and I'm grieving for you in many ways
my lover
my brother
my protector
my teacher
my friend

There has been no peace in this space for many days
and the battleground between us
been like
the battles in Najaf
or Fallujah
and with every note u sing I feel I don't want to lose ya

my tears are in sync with your melody
my love my soul but I must go
if only you had sung that song six months ago

High Hope Sleep

No joke
from a dream
I awoke
still half black
still half latino
still half lost
still broke
hope???
not really
i guess
nope.
well
I hope
God is in that next fifth of hennessy
I hope God
is really there Sunday
cuz
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
is killin me
hope
...
I hope this is some good dope
cuz without it can I cope??
Nope
Hope whats that really mean??

In my genetic memory i still hear King
I still feel the people sing
Let freedom ring
Let Freedom ring
musta rang at an inaudible decibel
cuz in the world I live in
i dont think we heard a thing


I know the man bought a message
but today I
see a mess

hope I dont know
can I cope??
Nope

Sex
or dope
how bout both
??
Let out the smoke
watch it seductively float
there goes my high hopes
then I drift off to a state
of sleep to escape
.....hope....
someone shoulda told me the only way to live the dream


is to be truly awake

Steak The way You like it

*I must thank the artist who inspired this*



Everything you do


I know sometimes I don't appreciate everything that u do
too prideful to admit I need your help
ended fuccin up
makin it worse
then u
create beauty where there was
once chaos and disorder
u restore the peace
u make it complete

How could I forget the magic and power of those hands
how could I forget to show you love as my man
the power of those hands
you could crush me with those hands
you could hush me with those hands
but you chose to elevate me
came into my life and washed away the shame
fixed everythang
how is it I let my responsibility to show you love escape me

I know sometimes i don't appreciate everything you do
but tonight there is some steak
some love and
some head
waiting for you

Uncomfortable Arousal

The fact that
you barely know me
and tryna run up in me raw
with yo 8 inch homie
I wonder

Do you got that shit??
or you on that shit??
cuz you dont know me slick
and yes! I wanna let you hit
but
what if you got that "gift"??
what if i got that "gift"

That gift that keeps on giving gift
you know that shit that itch
break out in warts and sores and shit
and or burn when u piss
i mean don't get it twisted we can still
totally do this
just how bout a layer of protection
cuz I don't care how sexy
no nuts
no guts
is worth an infection
lets see
if both u and me
are honest in our inventory
brutally truthful in our reflections
both of us have been risky
frisky
a lil too tipsy
young n
dumb n
preoccupied with cummin
this is no judgment
just want you to think of somethin


do you have a future??
I thought so cause we discussed it

and while it feels like we are the only two people in the entire universe at this moment who matter....dont mean we should trust it
I desire sooooo deeply to be here with you tonight
and please believe I can make it just what your fantasy was like
I think we should do it right



we've sat back palavered and philosophized
held hands shared with each other
some of the thoughts behind our eyes
stuff like jobs,the kids,politics and hip hop classics
and how you was thinking bout going back to school taking classes
but the one thing we aint ask is
what is your HIV status
I can tell you Im negative
cuz I have been tested
Alright !!!!! You are too??
sweet that's whats up---BET THEN
I'm diggin you even more
since our affection remains after such a conversation
exchanging crucial information
elevating anticipation
I got some condoms on the dresser
over there by my purse
turn of the lights lets see who gets to them first
