Manicures and Designer Jeans

^^That became the topic of a heated conversation

in relation to love lifes, lifestyles, elevations

to womanhood

loved and envied, her bunch of friends be

at the height of “divadom”

one day fresh of being 18

grown and full blown she is

built just enough to make her mama jealous

and vulnerable to sex-starved fellas

direct from connects on the internet

Instant Messaging fills the

container of her psyche

M/25/NYC says “he likes me”

it might be true love, so she thinks

although 2 months seem extreme

her self-esteem on high beam, dude was a charmer

and the karma between them was unbelievable

chats lasted minutes, hours, days

anticipating what role she would play

“wifey” sounds like a good title

or at least “boo,”ain’t nothin new

always admired hot wired kats

and dug thugs who never budged or hugged

but this one loved

at least that’s what he tells her

and sells her some “I want yous,” “I love yous”

and an occasional, “Lemme see your tits”

likes what he sees on the webcam pics

sounds immature from a kat who respects women

Hahaha, I’m only playing…..all is forgiven

but Miss Diva is a keeper, ask Steve or Peter

belived to be a misleader and dick teaser

maybe tonight this charmer could change all that

she will become a woman

made a date for her birthdate, May 8th at 8

ass gassed like Exxon,

“Do I put the pants or the dress on?”

hair did, nails done, skirt higher than Verizon

in the club lookin flawless and lookin for courtship

caught a kiss and catcalls from thug kids

and cut eyes from chicks who caught fits

Mr. Charmer almost lost it when he saw this

she looks more like a pearl in person

while others view her as a whore stop

his jaws dropped….could’ve sworn the floor rocked

will those drawers drop?

could barely stare in the eyes of shorty

getting naughty was the objective…..

and love was just a 4 letter word

Word.

Miss Diva uneasy from large crowds in a tiny atmosphere

and eager to go off somewhere….

with her net beau

wants to be alone and just let go

a little hand holding, conversation and a drink times 3

bought blindly and boldly from homeboy

and yeah…..they conversated

hands talkin to breasts, tongue talkin to ear

“Divadom” and confidence now walks into fear

but the temptations and pulsations were driven

giving the Diva inch by inch

caught up in the clutches, couldn’t even flinch

triggers this birthday girl’s mind to go cloudy

she’s Audi….

4 hours and 12 missed messages have passed

and no one still heard from her ass

all this now filled with thoughts

as detectives and coroners fill out reports

“H.S. Grad Student 18, Found Dead In Lot”

would be the new headline

and with the block torn, they mourned for a young woman

determined, full of life, not experienced with sex

until she met a stranger who experienced with eX

he ruined a fresh deck of cards that was once a royal flush

a dealer of young minds he manipulates so much

now Miss Diva dwells above those clouds

along with her love for manicures and designer jeans
