the sturdy ship
without that grip
the center piece
of all release
the passions ploy
main bedside toy
that soothing balm
for peace & calm
the one who stays
unchained by plays...
i have my "ways"
just a few days ago; he walks outside and immediately catches the eye of a comely stranger... storytime: she calls him "beautiful" and calls herself "innocent". halfway flirtin, halfway shirkin on all she really wanted to say... but she was honest. this draws him like water from a well... intrigued. with a sudden pause, she cocks her head to the side and says: "but you know what?... it's like you're... "angelic". smilin, as if to say "ok then... another one", he nods his head, offers up some advice and says he has to go. hand to heart and head bowed (as though bowing to a dignitary)... she grabbed his hand and said her goodbye. still perplexed as to what that all means, he was pleased to have met her. retaining his clear mind: he knows he's just a man but he also knows he's different (not better or worse... "different"). something he will forever try to figure out but to this day, he has been and will forever be many things to different hearts and to all of them... flawed, vulnerable, real and as honorable as his humanity affords him. whether it be static or transient, a steady rainfall or a light mist in the morning... may he be all he was meant to be to all those that come his way. just be mindful on a thing: never see him as one of your "pack" or fall into treating him like just any other. his kind ain't inclined like sheep you can keep. he will respect your game and hustle so long as these are never directed towards him as these are an insult to him and a form of disrespect. many say this as if to set themselves apart but he don't do clichés. many figured this out too late and some are still tryin to prove themselves right on the matter. waitin to none avail to say "I knew it!!" smh it's still ok... cause he still understands: "humans... gonna human"...
baby, it's more than just a "me" thing,
it's a "we" thing...
a seek & ye shall "see" thing you dig?
