Heartsprings

Gold and crimson tinged, flittering leaves litter the streets

Sitting beneath the trees, she sleeps innocently

Didn't believe that a being so beautiful flew this low

Using slumber to stun others with features almost musical

And when her low notes, my soul hopes for something more than friendly

When her golden notes hit other folks, I feel close to envy

I'd never wake her, but if the slumber ever ceases

I would rouse her with my kisses and tussle with her demons

Seemingly familiar even though I know I've never met her

Like I send a dream in a letter to heaven and it sent her

Went

Word

Sent word to others

There's a lover, never met, yet she's sleeping in my covers

There ain't no others, count the rubbers up to prove it

Don't want to be the nuisance always asking, "Wanna do it?"

I'd run through it

Shoot, my lingua's always fluent

And even if our paths don't cross, I know our wants are congruent

So pursue it incessantly

Her exceptional essence and presence is testing my sensory, incessantly

Does destiny beckon me to set next to thee, indefinitely

"Yes," says the memories, incessantly

Then with the best of me, let it be

To quest for the recipe

To wrestle the delicate thread imbedded in the chest of she

So string-heart heads to me

Yes indeed

Let's proceed

Sensibly, in depth, pensively, yet intensely

She made my heartsprings stretch screams like guitar string-fret swing sets

Yet she still left when chills crept through the treble clefs

Better get another pump bolted in, it broke again

It's housings are rusted, it's only tin

June '93, rock-a-bye baby

Waking up out of the tree

Was she smiling at me?

(Who?)

Me with the hat back, knapsack, no tact

Told her I watched her sleep and read her my amorous raps

She loved that, a pleasant surprise

Then she went with whatever like a drink and some fries

All right Ms. Doney B. Devine

She offered me a ride, and yet we ended up talking all night

The reason why

You know the steelo

Summer of the Skee-o, the way a brother speak low

Yo, I'm not endorsing no reckless endangering

But I ran out of condoms like a modern Wilt Chamberlain

Check the hussle

Send a shrug towards the struggle

Listerine and Al Green to squeeze a fuck out of a cuddle

But stuck out of the huddle whenever my friends swoop through

I say, "You're barking up the wrong tree"

They say, "She duped you"

Who, you mean my boo?

You're just mad 'cuz she don't like you

Snapping at what I have, that's the damage of spite, fool

Take a bite, dude

You ain't even got the plums that I do

Go write a haiku and talk about all that's inside you

Boy, was I cool

'Til the lightning strike split the divining tool that led my eyes to

The tree of life inside of you

It withered and died too soon

A little each time you pruned the beautiful side of truth by lying about

Who else was laying beside you
