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"
