What Love?
52Loving Love Badly
All I have is my voice and right now it wants to talk about bad choices
but always for love...
Guess some being thought
they got a favor when
life turned me into this
incorrigible sort of romantic
It's the curse that I was born with
They say I'm just like her
She sho was a fine girl
It ain't got me too far along
but I just keep on staring
I know I shouldn't tarry into lagoons blue
It's only going to bring me full circle
Back where I was before
My gut for men seems to be off
Chiding me in an irrepressible two step
Shaken from a tree like a black stemmed cherry
Before I do I cry into a canal of my
own fears
Whip up on myself
Discussions until my hue is coquettish
So tired of pain but I see him
bribing my insides like a two dollar ho
Mama use to tell me
Yeah she done told me not
to fall for the Camen island ripple
Rastafarian grooves in the furrows
but I look too long down the narrow
Finding such comfort in its form
Beguiled and beholding like an infant to it's
bedtime lullaby
Smile, then I'm shackled of your morass
Head first
Blind
Cripple
Crazy bliss
Prodding myself with...What?
What love is this?

a lovely poem.
Trsmd that you...been a long time for me here-smile.
Tkimwrsvc...thank you so much for being kind.
stunning.
come back.
Thank Iounn, I liked to-smile. Just been so dag busy lately.
I'm gone try though...thank you for asking.
I missed you so much. Every time I read your work, I want to say it out loud, and then again. You are such the poet. Do try, I'd love to see your newist stuff.

you know sometimes I think we are twins separated at birth. you so often speak for me when you are speaking for you.
Thanks Iounn, missed you too-smile. Been in so many directions lately.
About being twins that pattern thing is not good for anyone...the lesson is to break the cycle right-smile?
not sure it's all that possible but hey, we can try. can't do much else. :p
Hey if you're really interested in listening to some of my work are hearing me come to icompositions.com and since you do spoken word too you can set up a page there. I am "LaMercI" on icomp, just a suggestion. It's a lot of fun and you get to hear some of the best talent in all genre's of music...I even sing a little although I'm not a singer. Hit me up on one of my pages and let me know it is you if you decide to Iounn and if not that would be cool with me and I will understand.
that would be totally cool, hopefully this evening I'll get over there to hear you at the least. Thank you!!! yeah, I'll let you know I'm me. :)
okay-smile
you have a beautiful voice. I ended up having to put on quickwhatever media to use the site, but I finally got to hear you read. "I see my sister start to wave.. sister". wonderful.
Oh you really listened LOL...I think I have a strange voice but for some reason people like it and the men actually find some sexy in it (I've never
understood that). Sometimes I sound like a kid, I never sound the same (I'm just warning you-smile) but thank you Idunn, really...thank you so much for stopping by to listen.
