This Feels Like Love

Street culture inspiration...

Our poetry isn't just words

cliches, rhymes...

text on pages to make what we have feel better,

the slang of today's time,

the writing on the walls...

We are more than paint and carbon emissions

that frost fence posts and partitions...

Our slang is more than just blunt point sharpie

on bathroom fixtures and table legs.

Our song is more to me

than any doo-whop I've strained to listen to...

more than any ballad that ever brought a tear to my eye...

Our song is like pure

unadulterated honey

dripping with sweetness that

when pressed upon my tongue

tickles my senses and speaks

volumes of your love...

Our song is the only music that

could make me fall to my knees in prayer...

The only music that could ask me to

give it all up and I'd actually do it-

Oh baby, what I wouldn't do to fade into

this life with you....over and over...

and still, over and over...

You are my poetry.

You are my graffiti.

My slang...my song...

My lover, you are as timeless as

the words I cannot muster...and

as permanent in my heart

as the carving of "you-n-me"

on an old oak tree.

Reviews

[Caleb Benton]

Our poetry is more than the drawings on the walls of caves by a curious, primitive caveman. Our poetry is more than observations of a contemplative philosper taking in his surroundings. We are no longer primitive uneducated beings that simply write down our observations about the world. Our poetry is more than the retrospective notes of an aged historian. We are smart, passionate, subjective people that know that there is far more to this life than science. And i give you the credit for making me this way. thank you again sis.
