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!

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

Stand

Stand When all has failed & you don't know what to do.. Just Stand. When the storm is fierce The river is raging & you feel like it's drowning you Just Stand. When the bitter cold comes to steal your last breath...... Just Stand, Knowing in your heart This to shall pass When the cold wind blows & catches you in its snare Be patient & know That after the storm is over You'll still be Standing there! When the tears just keep running & you can't utter a word Just Stand For This too God has heard When the burning fire roars With plans to destroy all in sight Just Stand When the pain is unbearable & you think your losing your mind Just Stand. Stand on the rock so powerful & true Stand with all authority & know that God loves you Stand & be victorious With all your faith & might Stand child & let the spirit be Just Stand there and know that God is with thee!
