Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Between You & Me
I am not easy
I like to play tricks on your mind
Sit on the tips of your fingers
Pour forth from your mouth
In rhythmic patterns
Coerce you into confessing
Every sin committed in the name
Of love
Push you to the limit
Of your academic cliff
Tip toe to the back of your soul undetected
And push you into pulsating
Linguistic freedom
Beyond your mediocre conversation
Evoking all the wet cheeks
And jumpy heartbeats
You can stand
