Condoms for the Heart

Note: (EyeQ1 - Thank you for inspiring me to write this off your piece Not Making Love)

I wish they made condoms for the heart
as emotional protection
For vocal erection
So
I
Would
Not catch V.A.D (Verbal Arousal Disease)

So when you play fellatio
And tell me
"Baby for real tho"
I Love You
I Need You
She means nothing to me

I'd be shielded
and not yielded
by all yo bullshit!

If they made condoms for the heart
There'd be
Less Baby
Mama
Drama
No
Tears
For
Fears
No
Emotional
Wreckage
No takin
A Nigga Back
No
Cuttin
A Brotha
Slack
No bullshit
To deal with. (the period is here for a reason)

I'd used that latex
In hopes that it would stretch
like
Spandex

To cover my heart completely

If ..
They did make condoms for the heart

I'd take more care
with the label "beware"
This does not
protect all forms of V.A.D (Verbal Arousal Disease)

Caution when using
Cause I ain't losing
MY SELF RESPECT
for no other
brotha
that can't come correct!

Cause I'd be protected you see!

FOR REAL THO!

Can I Get My Mojo Back

Can I get my mojo back? You stole it a long time ago. Where you put it... I don't know. I looked in the closet and under the floor Or maybe you ran with it out the door. I checked the shower and linen closet I even checked the kitchen faucet My mojo is lost. What a shame! I know I am fine, but where's my game? Can I get my mojo back That umph, the it ...... I'm looking for That special something that shines so bright You know...... that shine, that rime, that appealing light. Mojo Oh mojo Where can you be I need you right now so candidly My looks are straight, my game not so tight I need you hear to make it all right. So please, So please I'm warning you.....Return my mojo before midnight! Copyright 2004

I Didn't Claim Poetry

Inspired my Amberly's Me Poem.....Amber, Thanks for the inspiration! I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me It wrapped me up And seduced me At the tender age of three I didn’t claim poetry It claimed me It called my name While inside my mother’s womb It nurtured me And cuddled me And wrapped me up in its cocoon I write because of submission It is my therapy The only thing that allows Me to maintain my sanity I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me With intoxication For words medication No need for translation It be my sedation I know no other way It is the ex-pression Of WHO I BE I live for it Die without it And strive to perfect it I be the muse To the ink The pen be the tool To express me Poetry is WHO I BE
