Between us

By Jinaki

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

He came with no expectations No plans, no concerns All was too real to convey All was but too cool to turnaway No adjustments made Only conversation at trade His company was all I enjoyed. Always chillin', layed out Shoot! He's my homeboy! Nothin' unlikely Not even there enough to care Till somethin' once said Somethin' he once shared Around in my dome His words came to be Words I've never even known Erotically...about me So...what's a girl to do? Another moment spent And my level of thinking subdued Knowing his life and knowing his past I allowed my ears to hear what he wanted to ask In such a way...he made me blush Flattered to the bone I must say, I was flushed Suppose I cave N' give him that look Will he behave? Or will he be shook? Gave in a lil' is all I did Which led to more But that was it We're still two cool N' don't talk about it much It's kept to ourselves Because it's just between us Written January 7th, 2002 © on Jan 07 2002 11:50 AM PST   0 • 10
