I Got Game

I Got Game

A Poem by Ivory
"

This is a Freestyle piece wit a b-ball theme. I wanted to write something different and be a bit creative.

"

We go back and forth

Like a game of 21.
You score first with your sexy smile,
And I rebound,
With my cuteness and style;
You gain points with your lushes lip,
But I keep the score tied with the way I kiss.
Back and forth, over the years
The chemistry grew,
And every one knew.
No one could hold it down like me and you.
The way we played, how could we get bored?
Too busy to keep score;
But then it became routine,
You got tired of only playing with me.
So you started to play dirty.
Cheating to score, it wasn’t fair anymore.
Too many fouls, spoiled the game,
Needed a time out, to hide the pain;
Had to find a way to show you I could still play.
Hit you with a technical,
That stung you.
I never meant to,
But I was pushed
and didn’t want to lose.
Instead I got bruised,
But you could never count me out.
I bounced right back, without a doubt.
Thought you could beat me cuz you’re a veteran?
Thought you were better than me?
Playa please!
I was a rookie when we started,
Now I’m a MVP.
Look around you, what do you see?
Can you find another who is up for the challenge?
Think they could manage,
to hold there own against you?
I know that ain’t true.
No one can do what I do.
I got much game,
And I ain’t afraid to go up against you.
I know you’ll want to play again,
And next time our game will have no end.
The ball is in your court.
This is more than just a sport.
My heart is on the line.
I play to win.
And when I do,
You’ll be mine again.
