A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


to whom it may concern

 

 

i have been the "Who"

too long, 

the subject doing the action

of giving love

for too many sentences

the "she" always the object of my affection

the "Who" finding his way through clauses

of caresses, causes of duress-es

the immovable pronoun

seeking identity within the opposite gender.

the meaning behind the semantics of giving serenity

while getting calamity

 

but now,

 

i want to be the "Whom"

the object of her prepositions,

the direct object of her transitive advances

even the indirect object of her sensual trances

 

i want to be the pronoun that floats

across her essay

swaying in her breeze

giving in totally to the feeling

enough to send me reeling

to the end of whatever phrase

she casts into the wind

to amaze

 

"Who am I?"

"Whom is me?"

 

when i am finally both,

then i will accept us

as we.

I really like the ending.. until this takes place you are not a we.
You need to learn how to play hard to get- and not gush all over the place-
at least in person. Might scare her off!

A fun piece of gushing. :)
One of my fav. poetry. I'mma steal it! *wink*

very nice, heartfelt and deep. I kinda read it in a great musical flow - a rap flow (that's one of my fav. genres, by the way). Loved the mix. of "who" and "whom". Ah, so new and captivating. I kinda love reading such refreshing and so prime pieces especially if they just belong to old, vintage art.

"Damn man, you cook very yummy dishes,
dish-washer you become.
She's and will be in your nights
as long as you writing such pieces that have readers cum-med"

Cheers, buddy!

thank you for your kind review, Adams...

Time to change it up a bit. Switch to I, me, and some other self describing pronoun. It might be fun!
