Spend the Rest of Your Life with Me......Tonight

Why do our feelings change so quickly? This is about being caught up in momentary passion and completely embracing that passion only to have lost that love and passion soon after.

“I must be crazy standing in this place, but I'm feeling no disgrace, for asking.......

Let me hold you tight......If only for one night”

                                             -  Luther Vandross, “If Only For One Night” 

 

 

 

Spend the Rest of Your

Life With Me.......Tonight

 

By Bridgey "GoneBeforeUWakeUpInTheMorning" McLovin

 

 

 

 

 She walked with the presence of 

                                September 11th

 

With red carpet appeal

it's unreal watching her move right to left and....

His eyes bugged......minus the drugs

As she struts up his Stairway to Heaven

          Like Led Zeppelin 

 

No question, the object of his affection
Earned him an erection as he,

orientates her inner being and progression
He calls daily

She answers the phone?

           Maybe

Persistently, he waits out her clichéd

“Hard to Get” playing

Still…….

It's a delight "  learning"   her a*s,

he might let her, spend the rest of her life with him for tonight!

 

 

His well chosen words surge

smoothly through her nerves

as they flow lower and lower

her flirting gets bolder and bolder

 

He pays no attention to her flirting,

Though not a fool, he knows he can have her,

so he just plays it cool

His eyes hint of passion, but his words make her imagine

whether the nether regions of his

passive aggressive actions

would be worth taking the plunge.......

What has begun, is the mental foreplay

Taking place, minus the pun

 

As he flirts with her body using words smart and coy

He really listens as she speaks

which her intuition really enjoys

Relaxing her bosom, weak kneed and very intrigued

by his, thought-to-be need not to spread said knees  

makes her knees want to proceed to spread comfortably

so she leads him to her sheets….

ACTING reluctant, he agrees!

 

His skills, did it again

and his game is never wrong,

cause like Bonita Applebum,

              she had to put him on!

 

She was his "only one" before,

now BEFORE 

       is the past!!!

 And all his phone calls stopped,

         soon after he got the a*s

So she went and changed her hair,

but now he just don't care!
Unless that different hair's attached

 To a different derriere!!

 

 

He's attention deficient,

       Love makes him hesitant 
Leases it from day to day,

             never a long-term resident
...It's evident, yet irrelevant to pursue 
        

 Because when she says,

           "I LOVE YOU!"
He says,

  “I LOVE YOU TOOOOO...

           NIGHT!"

He might, just recite whatever romantic movie or music lines fitting, she might like

 

Just to make love

and make that same love leave later

He WAS happy to date her,

but "Father Time" can't save her!

I'm not saying it's right,

just understanding his plight

It's time for the next girl

To love him forever...

    tonight

 

 

Author's Note

Let me straighten something out about this one "right fast"..... This poem is about a subject who's momentarily in love. I could've easily have made the subject a woman. But this doesn't directly speak for me! You don't have to ask me anymore. LOL I got the title from a line from "Mo' Better Blues" but if you blinked, you missed it. I love the flow with this one. Very easy when I recite this one at open mic. I feel like Darius Lovehall when I do this one! The girls dig the flow and rhythm, and the guys(not surprisingly) enjoy the hilarity of what I can assume is life related. Everyone wins and this is one of my favorite writes. This is probably the most focused I've ever been on a piece!

Hun you are more then a spoken word poet!!! More then a wordsmith, More then a sun burn on the back my back. You are more then the box people push you in. I never see anyone to mold and beld and shaped the poem as you do. You are more then one and to much for me to breathe in. I love and forever will be your fav and support you. We have all been here. We get placed in these imagery boxes that others have no right in placing us. They don't know us. They take ours words and bring our poetry to its knee's.

You are more then this website.......

Much love n respect,
anna

I can't wait for you to read my new poet 'Just Sex' It will be up tomorrow. It something like this. I love the way your mind works. Never lose yourself in others who don't know you or your gifted!


So she went and changed her hair,

but now he just don't care!
Unless that different hair's attached

To a different derriere!!

This is sooo true! lol '"laughing at myself" lol

Spot on for so many men. Nice rhythm and flow to this one. I was at first reminded of Eagle Eye Cherry's song 'Save Tonight' - and the lines 'as I will be leaving tomorrow' but this guy might be the one who slips out that very same evening. Nicely captured characterization. I would that I could hear you perform!
Light,

love it.
now go put a beat behind it.

[Catastrophe]

I really loved this write, the way it flows; the meaning behind the words. The way in which its structured...and the tone itself is very beautiful. I guess I could say it made me feel sad, knowing that this is reality in a way.
Its very good and I don't lie....

Why can't you be in Colorado where I can listen to this at open mic. (pouts)

I'm loving the flow. ;)

[BJ "Bunneh3000" Brown]

I can definitely see how this one is an open mic fav. The flow is VERY hypnotizing so that the imagery is that much clearer.

I'm actually watching Mo' Betta now so I'll have to hunt for the line!

The whole thing is light hearted yet real with a taste of 'beware' thrown in there for male and female alike!

Nice write!

Great stuff. Just how it is often. Nature makes dudes want want want and then move on. Jab n move, jab n move. The better to give our genes a chance to carry on. The more lovers a dude has the better pleased nature is. But this of course is not good from the perspecive of the loved for a night lady. Hey ho. Your witty read tells it bang on. Monogomy is an unnatural state for men. Maybe when we do stick around we do so to ensure our onpassed genes actually survive to themselves onpass us again. All hail performance poets! A poem aint finished till its proved itself at the mic!

[BlessedLove]

I love the flow with it too! lovin it hun! keep it up!

[Lady V]

I see why this is your favorite. lol It is a great piece and you have to enjoy what it is saying. There are all too many women who get caught up on the man of the moment thinking that moment will last forever.......but A MOMENT IS A MOMENT IN ANY AND ALL LAGUAGES. lol This is reality plain and simple and all those who didnt get it.......reread the whole thing and just let it marinate.

You do a great job of keeping the reader and or listener waiting and wanting the next word you wish to share. Keep them Coming Bridgey.

Live, Love and Learn

As well it should be one of your favorites it is miraculous to read and very open ended so far as what it suggests it tells the truth in a very honest way and need not apologize nor offers one

I enjoyed it thoroughly

[passion]

Aaaaayyyyooooo! I live. It speaks volumes and for me the author's note was an unnecessary addendum. It said what it needed to and I can TOTALLY understand why it's a success @ open mic. I would love to see you perform it.
