THE BEAT OF DRUMS IS THE WAY MY HEART POUNDS

THE FLOW OF THE BREEZE PASSING BY ME

ALMOST MADE ME WANT TO SING A MELODY

AS I SIT BACK ACROSS THE SAND

I SAID TO MYSELF " I WISH GOD COULD SEND ME A MAN

THAT UNDERSTANDS"

WHILE LAYING BACK I CLOSE MY EYES

AND DRIFT INTO ANOTHER PARADISE

THAT ONLY I CAN VISUALIZE

IN MY DREAM EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

EVERYBODY KNOW IT'S A DIFFERENT VIEW ON THE

EARTH SURFACE

DON'T WANT TO WAKE UP FROM THIS MEMORY

I HAVE TO REALIZE IT'S JUST A FANTASY

AS I OPENED MY EYES

I WOKE UP WITH A BIG SMILE

DUSTED THE SAND OFF OF ME

AND HEADED BACK INTO TOWN

DROVE AROUND LOOKING FOR A CROWD

SAW A OPEN MIC SCENE

SO I WENT AND SAT BACK DOWN

FACES IS WHAT I SEEN STARING

BACK AT ME

WHAT TO DO WHO TO BE

"POETIC QUEEN" IS WHO THEY KNOW ME

AS

I FELT NERVOUS BUT ALSO GLAD

THAT I HAD NEW FRIENDS THAT

DIDN'T LAUGH AT MY HORRIBLE JOKES

GOT CALLED ON TO SPEAK MY POETRY

ALONG WITH SMOOTH POETRY SULTRY BEATS THAT

SOOTHE ME

WANTED TO RUNAWAY FROM THE MIC

BUT THE CROWD SHOUTED " DO IT FOR ONE NIGHT"

I SAID "ALRIGHT"

LINE AFTER LINE IS WHAT I SPOKE

THE MUSIC SLOWED DOWN

THEN STOPPED

I STEPPED DOWN FROM THE STAGE

AND GOT SO MUCH PRAISE

A TAP ON MY SHOULDER WAS

WHAT I FELT

TURNED AROUND THERE STOOD

THE AMAZING GUY THAT GOD SENT

ME

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK

ONE ON ONE WE GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER

AND IT WAS SPECIAL

WE BOTH HAD THAT POETIC BOND BETWEEN

US THAT NO ONE CAN TOUCH

A GREAT TEAM IS WHAT WE MAKE

OUR LOVE WON'T ESCAPE

LOVE IS POETRY LIKE PEN IS TO INK

DRIP IS WHAT INK DOES JUST LIKE A TEAR THAT HITS THE FLOOR

I PICK UP MY HEAD AND SAY

"LETS GO WRITE SOME MELODIES"

THIS PIECE IS

"POETRY"
