As we Proceed

love poem with a musical twist

As we proceed I play my “Ginuwine” CD

Sitting by the phone

I’m “So Anxious”

I mean

“All you gotta do is say yes”

But while you denying what you feel

It’s adding division to this

Emotional equation

I’m saying it takes two to make

A relationship

Me+you

But when other people become

Added

We divide amongst each other

Which1/1 equals 1

Leaving this variable isolated

But when it “all falls down”

Mark, Chris, Will and Tim

Was the “previous cats”

“Tomorrow’s the future

Yesterday is the past

Today is a gift that’s why it’s called the present”

While you’re “waiting to exhale”

I take a “Voyage to India”

And sit on top of “laurens hill”

Ready to “trade it all”

Being “so into you”

Because I feel

You’re “one in a million’

In this world of

“Sweet ladies” and “brown sugahs”

I’m “shai” and “if I ever fell in love”

It won’t be based on “telephone love”

And “slow jamz”

Because if that was the “case”

We would be “happily Eva afta”

“My way”

But that’s too much

I just want to “read yo mind”

But why should I

“It’s written all ova ya face”

“How you gone act like dat”

When my “thug love” “vibrates”

“As we lay” the “butter love”

Tends to melt

I’m saying when I “get next to you”

It’s hard for me to “breathe”

You can even make a “song cry”

“Before I let you go”

“Take away” the “secret lovers” title

Because something’s constantly

“Getting in the way”

But on this hot”Donna Summer”

I “walked out of heaven”

And put a “ribbon in the sky”

That said

“Don’t Leave”
