Poem of the Week

Hey all!! So I've decide to start this new 'series' (for lack of a better word) called poem of the week. Basically i plan to just post a new poem every week. This weeks poem is called The Auction Network by Shihan. Shihan is probably one of the most talented black poets that i've heard thus far. He's right up there with Daniel Betty. Anyway's this has more of a comedic feel to it. Talks about the stereotypical blackman that everyone sees. So yea enjoy!

Lust

Hey hey everyone. So its been a while since my last post, but here's a copy of the most recent poem I wrote. I call in Lust. It was inspired by someone very dear and near to my heart. And I was finally able to construct what I believe to be a pretty decent poem from my thoughts. I have been debating rather or not to post it considering the intimate/explicit nature of it, but I figure what the hell, i could use the constructive criticism. So I hope you enjoy it. As always comments are welcome, both good and bad. So yea without feather ado......I give you LUST.


Something about tonight is different,
I only meant to lay here with you long enough so you could sleep.
But as I watched the moon and the stars bath your beautiful body in light.
My breathing picks up, my heart beats faster, and my lips come closer.

The only thing running through my brain is the thought of me making you feel good.
Your moans accompanied by the light drizzle of rain provides the perfect background music to our intimate dance.
Your soft brown eyes meet my fierce brown (almost black) ones,
Reflected in them is the same pure and unadulterated lust.

I see the need in them, I see the want in them, but most of all I see the love in them.
That's all I need to know, to continue my path down to my goal.
Trailing kiss after kiss down your face, I pay close attention to your neck.
I feel the arch of your body come closer to me as if you trying to come into me and become one with me.

I feel the intense pain and pleasure of your nails raking across my back urging my forward. T
he soft yet strong whisper of my name that lets me know I am yours.
As I pass through the valley of you breast's, and I enter your folds,
My tongue, and fingers decide to cut into our dance, eventually taking over.

In and out, In and Out, In and Out, Faster and Harder, Closer and Closer they pull you to the edge. Louder and louder it makes you beg.
The shouts of you voice urging my to continue my mission.
Until finally the lighting flashes, and the thunder crashes, and the heavens open up drowning you screams of pure pleasure out.
Riding that wave for as long as possible you eventually blackout.

Only to wake up.....and realize it was just a dream......
A dream about the person you need
A dream about the person you want
A dream about the person you love

A dream about LUST

Mr. Mom

You know music now a days has lost its meaning. Most of it talks about sex, drugs, homophobia, women, violence, etc. But every so often you come across a song that has nothing to do any of that:



Mr. Mom By Lonestar. This song is simple awesome. Listening to it you can't help but give it up for all the moms out there in the world that have to rise there kids. They have so much they have to put up with. And some of us take it for granted. I don't know about y'all but
"Honey, you're my hero"

What Is There To Keep Living For?

I wrote this poem a few months ago. And at the time I didn't know for who or why. I just started writing to get my feelings out. It wasn't until I had it done, and one of my most dearest guy friends read it and told me who it was about, and he was right. Its not a long poem, it's actually rather short. But as I was sitting and reading through it this evening I realized it was incomplete. You see a poem tells a story and just like every story has an ending, so does this one. I just haven't decide if i will write the ending to it, or leave it as is, depends on how many people like it. Anyways enjoy ;)
*********

Why do you run from me?
Why won't you let us be?
Why must I be the one to
apologize whenever we fight?
Why can't you realize
how much I love you tonight?

You push me aside as if
I'm some book on your shelf.
You forgot how soon I would be there
if only you would ask for my help.
You said you cared,
But really you're just scared.

Scared to give me you heart
Scared that we will forever part
Scared that I would leave you behind
Scared that I would never be able to find me again.

But it's not up to me my dear friend
That choice I gave to you and you alone.
And from all the shit that's been going down,
It looks like you took matter into you own hands
and did all the stuff you thought I would do to you.

I gave you my hand and you pushed it away
I gave you my heart and you broke it into pieces
and throw them back at my face.
I called you name and you ran the other way.
Never turning back to see what that did to me.

So after all that, What Is There To Keep Living For??

I Just Want to Be Set Free

As I lay awake in my bed at night
Somtimes I shiver in fright
Thinking to myself is this my last chance
Did I take my last glance?

Have I gone to far?
Have you raised to bar?
But then why do I hear you calling out to me?
Theses voices in my head
never letting my heart mind and soul be.

Its so hard, so hard to say NO
Why do you want me to let this life I live go?
Your acting like I'm not talking to you,
But then your the only one I would be talking to.

I can't take this anymore,
What is it that your asking me for?
My life you already own that's a fact,
Do you want something else that well keep you in contact?

I just want to be free, free from the sins that confine my soul
I just want peace, peace from the demons that rob me of my sleep
I just want what life has to bring
But right now we both know I have none of those things.

So I'm asking you know do you know what I want most?
I don't know either so it's not like I'm trying to boast.
I just what you to come into me
I just want you to live through me

So that other can see how you delivered me
I wonder if this dream will ever be.
Because I just want to finally be set free,
Forever and always to be at peace.

To My Readers

I started this blog for two main reason. One reason was to write. I love writing, and I am very opinionated, and I wanted a place where I could express that. The way I see it is I'm going to write what I have to say regardless of whether you like it or not, so why not get some interesting feedback while I'm at it?! The other reason was because of my poetry. I am a poet. My poetry is a reflection on who I am as and individual, and what may or may not be going on in my life right now. It's my inner voice so to speak. I wanted constructive criticism on it, and as much as I don't like people reading my poetry, I want to get better at it. So my only request to you is that you enjoy what you read and read it with and understanding that I am an amateur writer, and that I am just now starting to embrace the talent that everyone says I have.
