Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

By You


I'm excited, yes by you
Ignited, too by you
Invited to come to my senses and realize:
I'm drawn to you by something unknown to reason
Unknown to rhyme, unknown to soul and unknown to mind
Forces of nature cannot create nor escape
My frame of mind


Days and times where I have to focus
Clear my mind so I sit in meditation
And wrap my head around this situation
Couldn't capture all these memories in a photograph
And I love the way you make me laugh
Which isn't half of what I feel
In these days of love and happiness


I'm excited, yes by you
Ignited, too by you
Invited to come to my senses and realize:
The disguise I've been wearing for so long
Is no longer needed.


I learned how to breathe and own up to my natural skin
Now I grin, because there's so much I know I can offer
Compassion, love, gratification, appreciation
And I don't have to stop if I don't want to,
And I don't wan to stop loving
Somebody like you


I'd have to be crazy
To give up these days of love and happiness
Bliss in a kiss, get lost in a touch
Stuff so good, can't tell which way is up
Or down, I see now


So I just want you to know that
I'm excited by you
Ignited too by you
And have been invited to come to my senses and realize:
That you're better than my past tenses
You set fire to all my senses and
That you leave me defenseless
And I'm loving every minute of it.
