chami'i and tyku and short poem



chami'i (seven lines/four syllables each line)

shameful when u

slip bk into

my world, smellin' guuuuuuuuddddd!

u ova pow'r

me and i fall-

no resist, no

nothin' just fall!

tyku

sue me fo givin'

in to tha very

thang i said i wudn't.

i need strength...cause my

temptation looks gud!

chami'i

wud luv peace fo

nights when burnin'

outweighs sleep. wud

luv nuthin' mo'

than sme release! DAMN!

a warm body

nxt to me....bliss!

short poem

don't blame me if i run back to my past.

started cleanin' out my closet...lawd...

so much junk, so much dusty shames

and moth-bitten sorrows...some

things I cudn't bring myself to throw away!

saw the picture....

...way at the back of the closet...

his photo...that fine ass smirk, arms of muscled

security...the same ones that would hold me

to the bed like bands of steel;

saw that chest...my God! the memories

came rushin' back in.

I bit my lips trying to keep the familiar throbbin'

I thought i'd lost a while back frm renewing with

vigor.

it didn't work...

I found myself dialing your number....

you put it on the back of that picture....remember?
