Poems: shoes and dreads

Thanks to the lovely zaideeladiee for the inspiration.....


shoes and dreads

ya know there are just some days
when i'd like not to fuss
with this mop on my head
and i may not be able
to walk far in my shoes
but ya know i'm loving these dreads
and not caring about you

these dreads are made not to be called lazy
or some ridiculous new fashion statement
did you know that people find it scary your staring
why do you crain you necks... to watch me walk by
you know my shoes aren't meant for walking
in this simple city life.... whoa oh

yeah well don't you know i've walked four blocks
all the way from south main to branch avenue
and my shoes are tired of walking my around
like a mother whose child is soon to be due
giving up life splitting in two people
one shoes goes this way
the other falls loose dangling dangling
just below my reach...
so i bend down to scoop it up
and hope no one sees me

ya know there are just some days
when i'd like not to fuss
with this mop on my head
and i may not be able
to walk far in my shoes
but ya know i'm loving these dreads
and not caring about you

Poems: an explosion of him

thanks again to zaideeladiee

an explostion of him
everytime i think about you
i get a little unsettled
the strangeness sets in and i feel
like i'm spitting up into pieces
everytime i see you it gets a little harder
to breathe to think straight when I'm around you

don't you know what your doing to me?
everytime you walk by me I catch my breath
hoping you compliment me on how i look
or just share a minute of conversations wit

my mind is reeling
and i'm simply caught up
in an explosion of him
i can't feel myself and
i'm exhausted from feeling
all my emotions go right into
one atomic explosion set off
by hearing your name

yeah well after all of this
i simply lay down to rest
and I can't sleep at night
tossing and turning
all night long
thinking of you
of what you said to me
and how I felt right after
I'm feeling unsettled
yeah yeah yeah

my mind is reeling
and i'm simply caught up
in an explosion of him
i can't feel myself and
i'm exhausted from feeling
all my emotions go right into
one atomic explosion set off
by hearing your name

my mind is reeling
and i'm simply caught up
in an explosion of him

don't you know what your doing to me?
everytime i see you it gets a little harder
to breathe to think straight when I'm around you
