The Truth Posted by Essence Renata , Sunday, July 26, 2009 at 9:23 PM, in Labels: Poetry

My every nerve ending is aflame
You en kindle an unabated desire
my soul whispers your name
in the shadows of my heart...
you burst into my life
at a time when all seemed insipid and mundane
i found myself amazed at the apparition
of beauty
i desire you
beyond comprehension
got me breakin all my rules
i allowed you access past the fortress
of a cool and calm exterior
I role played pygmalion
attempted to mold and shape you
into what I felt you should be
and in the process faced myself
you make me want better
reminiscent of my younger self
optimistic and untainted by the cruel
realities of an adult world
you make me feel sexy
at the times
when i don't feel beautiful
after knowing you for so long
the newness of it all
still seems unreal to me...
you
make
me
feel

A L I V E

I refuse to settle into routine
I'll never take the fantasy away
i need to be your naughty girl
Stroke me against the wall
Acquire me from the back while
you run your fingers across
my back tats...
ummmmmmmmm.....
it's hard to maintain composure
when i think of you
my muse when i groove
to the sounds of raheem devaughn
and eryakah badu
for a watered down mainstream tune
over a generic beat cant begin to explicate
how starved my body is
without you inside me...
how much i miss you
when you're not in my presence

Never in a million years could i have began to
imagine that it would be like this
How deep you see beneath the skin
Sometimes i'm frightened that i've let you in
You lighten my life with seraphic bliss
when all seems melancholy
caught in a
ever changing dynamic
of the emotional power struggle
that we play
i know sometimes you
concede just so i'll shut up
and feel as if i've had my way

I envision you in my slumber
Pin you up in my hair
You live in my smile
I tie you round my waist
and carry you with me
you make me feel complete
In a world full of craziness and lies
I know one thing to be absolute

you ARE the truth....
