My Loneliness Needs A Facelift....collabo w/Contaverse

Folder: 
Love Jones

Gemini Star





Deep within the bottom of my bottomless pit

lying here dwelling among these crumpled sheets

for I love you so much, desires soar every second

distorting usual activities

my air needs conditioning

My mind drifts back to just minutes before

when we were less than a couple

Distance can be defined in many ways

in miles or how far the heart sways

My extended nurtured hand travels to your soul

comforting and easing your mind with each gentle stroke

You were everything that my mind wanted

touching you breathlessly refusing to disturb

the sacredness of your warmth

These are moments that I was born to have

for the control you have over me allows me to forget

postponed joys and hostile situations

of jealousy and wicked foul play

that we both strongly survived

The world is so flushed with opposites

like the love and the hate

and one allows us to be numb to the other

believing the other ceases to exist

My loneliness is winning the fight

leaving a dark spot in my heart

seeking a cat scan therapy of light

The time now has come for my bottomless pit to be filled

with a successful operation measured so delightful

conducting a conversation without the use of words

but a dialogue of kisses, infinite embraces

opening closed eyes....I see the rest of our lives

Wouldn't it be nice to be devastated with butterfly jitters...

a spine-tingling warmth that makes your inner core quiver?





Contraverse



So to you, I deliver my hand in matrimony

no ring....just you, me, the sky and the

round sun that sets before me

I adore thee....with every facet of life

I am no longer "in-like" with you,

I am "in love" with you....

see the difference between "IK" and "OV"?

Cuz it would take a lifetime to relieve this life

I know I've seen you before, the opposite to loneliness

you're the antibody to the virus of life-I

can scan a thousand lands and the touch

of your soul to my hand

is the only ignition needed to properly build a tribal fam-

I see visions of ecstacy dancing in your eyes when I

happen to catch you glance

I see myself in your mirrored image, it's the face that tells stories

through wrinkled lines like linens- a shifted image and I see

the beginning of the Never Ending Story

starring you, Verse, and a golden blessing

more intertwined than double helix redressing

our hearts beat out Hip Hop love songs

with tales of hardships and pain

with a baby on the way, yet still you find light in the darkness

of tear soaked rain- next lifetime, I keep sayin-

pushed you away, and now there's no delaying, I'm staying

from now till the skies don't light up no more,

it's you I won't forget or ignore- it's you who gave me love

and me who you adore

so I ask you, surgeon of my soul

Do I need a facelift? cuz loneliness is gettin old.....
