a man

by MVP-Most Valuable Poet

April 18, 2014

a man's lost

is another man's gain

a man's trash

is another man's treasure

to honor

to embrace her like a newborn baby

to caress with care and love

seduce her mind with stimulation

clothes come right off her body sreaming my name ay papi

guys claim to want that in a woman

when they do, they get sloppy

and find excuses to not be committed

you are committed

to a crime of not appreciating a woman for all she does for you

a man already knows when a woman adores him without anticipation

when it happens, he know what to do

and cherishes her as if today was his last day to live

knowing tomorrow is never promise

that's why you live for the moment

never take anything a woman does for you for granted

they come around once in a lifetime like the great baseball players

roberto clemente, jackie robinson, hank aaron

when you have a good woman by your side

that's a ride or die chick

never let her go

the minute she is left astray

the next man will have the right broom

and sweep her off the ground in front of your eyes to watch

how a real man gets it done

I would love too but with my life right now it  is probably not going to happen this month. Maybe we can collaborate this summer. I'll send you some dates I'm available and then we can message each other about a topic we can talk about to make into a poem. Deal?

Amen!!! It's about time someone talked about appreciating a woman and to not take her for granted. I'm not talking about the little girls in the short skirts who have no care for the world and themselves, but a true women who works hard and shows her love unconditionally to that one man in her life. Your right! A woman like that only come once in a life time and it's about time little boys grew up and became men to appreciate that. Let every man heave this warning! Thank you velezjrrobert for a great message. Hopefully all guys receive it openly. Keep writing on my friend. P.S. Sorry it took me so long to make more comments on some of your poems. Life can throw a lot of curved balls that take a long time to catch if you know what I mean.
