Bars of Steel Slam

So I wrote this poem over 10 year ago and I woke up this morning and found it randomly on my floor idk how it got there but I decided to type it up and share it with you all

Your smile is amazing but to see a smile on your face that’s initiated by me is heart stopping just a glimpse of your essence is enough to keep your name on the lips of all whose eyes have seen the glory of you. If anyone asked me to describe you in 4 words I would say BEAUTY BY DRU HILL. Because every time I see you that song comes to my mind and I get lost in the day dreams of Walking off into the sunset holding your hand along Santa Monica Beach because that was one of the most amazing Sunsets I’ve ever seen and you are one of the most amazing women I’ve ever seen shoot they would have to mix Nia Long Gabrielle Union and Janet Jackson just to get close to you. You are my love jones, my Eva I need Deliverance from and my Poetic justice because of you I sit alone in my room and stare at the wall dealing with these thoughts in my mind that tell me I need love but not just any love so when you make the decision to finally make yourself seen I’ll be waiting I LOVE YOU

Baby where ever you are just know it’s almost our season
Baby I’m finna get ready for what you’ve been praying and believin
Baby I want to feed you my favorite things cooked by me just for you
Baby I want to stick to you like glue it’s true I smile when I think of you
Hoping you’re thinking of me too but do you like for real for real real deal Holyfield
Baby your like Gold I gotta bite ya to see if ya real

The mere thought of her sparks rumination about future possibilities - just as trees stretch towards skies without faltering, remaining steadfast through thick and thin even when confronted with scorching temperatures. The coolness she exudes allows no room for frivolous pastimes or aimless interactions; destined for greatness, she prepares herself to be showcased prominently within any space provided those who approach do so with tenderness, recognizing both strength and suppleness.

How do you determine real love, have you seen it, felt it, smelt it, have you ever dealt it? You know what I mean have you ever had the Joker Joker Deuce Ace type of love? Have you ever had that Last card Uno kind of love? Have you ever seen the phase 10 of my love?

See the first phase of my love is this poem, allowing my words to affirm my love for you.
The second phase of my love is me opening up your doors of opportunity for it to be just you and me.
The third phase of my love are these hands baby they will never be a weapon formed against you, but they will help cultivate and pluck the weeds in your garden.
The fourth phase of my love will cook you breakfast lunch or dinner you know I’m a winner baby but sometimes I’m a saint sometimes I’m a sinner.
The fifth phase of my love is more like a fifth element my love never forgets like an elephant it is so big and ready to explode for the hell of it.
The sixth phase of my love is this mouth and what it do see I know life and death come from the power inside you
The seventh phase of my love is wrapped in perfection not perfect as in no flaws but perfect as in mature baby I know you want more but let me show you what’s in store
The eighth phase of my love spiritual protecting providing and praying , every past demon and trauma we’ll be slaying.
The ninth phase of my love is unlimited satisfaction but this love must be matching reciprocated from the heart
The tenth phase of my love is submission, I must submit to you and you must submit to me, we submit totally to each other building a kingdom that is ruled by Love founded on friendship and lead by the Spirit. So baby I just shuffled the deck are you ready to cut?

Awake this morning with you on my mind, wondering if it’s your heart I will find? Or will I only find left overs from your past? Have you been healed and set free or is your trauma going to blast. It’s way back into the present triggering insecurities and doubt. I hope I get a day to figure it out because your smile is so amazing and I hope to catch a gazing of you with my natural eye 👁️ I’m just a natural guy no additive or preservative you can say my love is sucker free it’s more like hopelessly lost with rose colored glasses if you’re the teacher I’m paying attention in classes

Making you SMILE no beast all beauty,
I enjoy looking at you you’re such a cutie.
All I really want is a few ticks of your clock,
we could hang out and kick it go for a walk.
Flowing nonstop the conversation between us,
No blowing hot air my ballons won’t bust.
My words you can trust let the reality speak,
There goes that amazing smile lips creased from cheek to cheek
