I wrote this in December of 1999 when I couldn't sleep because I had recently...well, you'll figure it out. '2200' It's ten o'clock at night. I'm laying in my bed, trying not to think. Trying not to call. Trying to maintain. My masculinity. My manhood. My strength. I miss you so much. I want to share my time. Like we did before. Before it all went wrong. Before it took a turn. A turn for the worst. Now the damage is done. The damage can't be repaired. I saw it in your face. You've given up on me. You've given up on us. And now it's time to sleep.... But I can't. It's ten o'clock at night. I'm trying not to think. Trying not to call. Trying to maintain. My masculinity. My manhood. My strength. |

Love done stamped addressee unknown on male post marked manhood in soul envelopes with no windows. Sometimes strength comes in a plain brown wrapper marked FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. "Open this to find out what you have won!!!" This may be your last chance... Or it may be junk male. ......................................... Sorry man Lambd, Your piece inspired a 'mourning' freestyle. I am well aware of that fighting that losing battle. I have left love unopened. I have lost too much sleep. |

And now a woman's pov: I confused love with lust Wounded, brokenheart Busted up over a rock that could never be mine I’m not talking about that shiny piece of glass 4 karat, class, jeweled, gold, platinum symbol I’m talking about a man, real black man Sweet, honey, butter biscuit, chocolate syrup_hersheys ain’t got nuthin on brother Man, I like the way he, the way he melts in my arms, his breath, my life, his kiss, my soul Man, he did all of this to me, and I was somewhere wishing, dreaming, hoping I could Climb that mountain, reach the top claim victory but it was only lust when I thought it was love ssmoothe2003

WOW YOW! Lambd, you have to STOP doing that! You too, Rondall and Smoothe! I'm adddddicteddd to that kind of art, you know. Dang! Freestyle Gotta be me mild and tranquil sometimes Other times Not flowing, going Like my zodiac in two different directions And all at once.. Hey, it's all balance though Hey you know What? With you, I'm sometimes up Sometimes down Guess I would not know up If I did not know down though, right? But I refuse to sit up and night Wondering Waiting Wishing.. Nah I'm a grown woman, Been through quite a bit Got the memories of stressful days and nights To prove that Took me a while to get my groove back Or should I say get forward into the groove of things I don't need no rings On my finger Nor do I need tape on my mind Or chains around my soul See, I gotta "be" Yes.. With or without you, I've got to be.. |
