Thinkin Bout You


Can I provide you with a rhyme to Help you vibe with me on this ride through my mind? May I coerce you into working with me to get to A special place where I can get to know you beyond the letters that form you're name She's a Gemini Or at least that's what I think I see you all the time and you never even wink To say that you acknowledge me Trying to hard? Probably cuz I want you to be the key that unlocks my Lust for love and semi-matrimonial monogamy Your life? I would like it to be the next never ending novel assigned to me You know, like the ones we get in English all the time? Your eyes? They say that they are the stain glass windows to Self's Steeple Are you religious? Did the Bible Thumpers bruise thy skin too? Your mind? It is your inner sanctum and I can see how other guys have had a hard time getting there If they wanted to, that is Because your first line of defense is so tempting Its enough to make the wrong kind stare you down until you are depicted As a sex symbol

Hi, I'm Omar. I am black poet who tries to sever ties with the labels that the outside world has placed upon me. I do this by distancing myself from everything that makes me what they want me to be and surrounding myself with what I want to be.

This is my way of getting her attention. I can't talk to girls without writing a poem about it. Poetry is my language.

This was my attempt to talk to a crush of mine.
