(dedicated 2 U know who:-)

Sweeten Me

H-2 missing "O"
Beyond thirst
A fire,desire,"F" without "e"
Weak
Holding on,still strong
Sweeten me

Of Silver, shimmering
"Au" to a few, they too,try to
Mold me
Tarnish me
My
Elements of me.

I repress my tears
Put on my face
Homogeneous smile complete.
Standing tall, through it all
I am all-right with me!

I am precious
A gift
Stop by
Sweeten me
Then leave.

Hello

Thanks, cagedbird. I've restructured it a bit because I wasn't sure if most caught the elements thang (Water, Gold/Silver and Iron). I could have even come a little stronger with the title *wink*.

I see our site is asking for submission. They are yet to post my "Voyeur" even though they've accepted it. Do you remember that one? I have several others but don't want to throw them their way if they are just going to sit on them. They said it will be viewed by millions but that can't happen if they are sitting in someone's desk.

Hello Cagedbird, I had a nice time in the Atl. The only thang missing was you. All the other ingredients were there; food fun and family.

Hey, (a side note) do you like Robin Thicke?

Anyway, in my poem Voyeur, I was actually thinking of a women. I know you are a Luther fan, do you remember one of his songs that talked of a secret lover? Well, in that song he mentioned that she didn't know that he loved her. That song inspired "Voyeur".

I was taken in by this one women's beauty; her pleasing qualities but she didn't belong to me ...sooooooo

Voyeur

I am guilty
I am a Voyeur
I call her name ...
Inspiration

Am I really guilty?
Heart...
What is my crime
I am a Voyeur

Gratified by observing
I steal a glance, a moment
Her style, her smile, her flow, she goes
She leaves...
Satisfaction

Thief...?
She GIVES me stimulation
Sensations
I own this joy

Permission is absent, consent not desired
Fear invades me
If she knew...
I enjoy her
I am guilty
I am a Voyeur

She is my punishment and my consolation
My prize
My feelings, my pain; I own
Her friendship is but a dream
I am a Voyeur

I have questions, TLC?

Is there a song titled "don't take my love for granted"?

Player No More

If you're new to the game, check out the new name
An elevated thang
It's love distributor
Not pimp,
Not hustler, listen to what I say, it's a new day.
In the game of life there's strife loves gone, past memories

In a high stakes game, he's there to lead the way.
Bold Stride
Strong character

He'll carry you Through
Remember... Together
It's not the tail you sell
You don't have to be a Ho', that's on you
"! get my money"!
It's just a state of mind



Another's Dream

I'm living in the shadows of another's dream
He banishes me
He castrates me
He tells me I'm sexy
But I'm living in the shadows of another's dream

I dance
I laugh
I sing
But I'm living in the shadow of another

"That my man!"
"Girl he's going to the top"
"Says I got a spot"
But I'm living in the shadow of -- his dream

Trying to find who I am
Seeking the order and not knowing
Can't find me
I'm consumed with his dream

I can stand
I too have dreams
Out of the shadows of ...
Another's dreams ...
My dreams!
