Spend the Rest of Your Life with Me......Tonight

Why do our feelings change so quickly? This is about being caught up in momentary passion and completely embracing that passion only to have lost that love and passion soon after.

“I must be crazy standing in this place, but I'm feeling no disgrace, for asking.......

Let me hold you tight......If only for one night”

                                             -  Luther Vandross, “If Only For One Night” 

 

 

 

Spend the Rest of Your

Life With Me.......Tonight

 

By Bridgey "GoneBeforeUWakeUpInTheMorning" McLovin

 

 

 

 

 She walked with the presence of 

                                September 11th

 

With red carpet appeal

it's unreal watching her move right to left and....

His eyes bugged......minus the drugs

As she struts up his Stairway to Heaven

          Like Led Zeppelin 

 

No question, the object of his affection
Earned him an erection as he,

orientates her inner being and progression
He calls daily

She answers the phone?

           Maybe

Persistently, he waits out her clichéd

“Hard to Get” playing

Still…….

It's a delight "  learning"   her a*s,

he might let her, spend the rest of her life with him for tonight!

 

 

His well chosen words surge

smoothly through her nerves

as they flow lower and lower

her flirting gets bolder and bolder

 

He pays no attention to her flirting,

Though not a fool, he knows he can have her,

so he just plays it cool

His eyes hint of passion, but his words make her imagine

whether the nether regions of his

passive aggressive actions

would be worth taking the plunge.......

What has begun, is the mental foreplay

Taking place, minus the pun

 

As he flirts with her body using words smart and coy

He really listens as she speaks

which her intuition really enjoys

Relaxing her bosom, weak kneed and very intrigued

by his, thought-to-be need not to spread said knees  

makes her knees want to proceed to spread comfortably

so she leads him to her sheets….

ACTING reluctant, he agrees!

 

His skills, did it again

and his game is never wrong,

cause like Bonita Applebum,

              she had to put him on!

 

She was his "only one" before,

now BEFORE 

       is the past!!!

 And all his phone calls stopped,

         soon after he got the a*s

So she went and changed her hair,

but now he just don't care!
Unless that different hair's attached

 To a different derriere!!

 

 

He's attention deficient,

       Love makes him hesitant 
Leases it from day to day,

             never a long-term resident
...It's evident, yet irrelevant to pursue 
        

 Because when she says,

           "I LOVE YOU!"
He says,

  “I LOVE YOU TOOOOO...

           NIGHT!"

He might, just recite whatever romantic movie or music lines fitting, she might like

 

Just to make love

and make that same love leave later

He WAS happy to date her,

but "Father Time" can't save her!

I'm not saying it's right,

just understanding his plight

It's time for the next girl

To love him forever...

    tonight

 

 

Author's Note

Let me straighten something out about this one "right fast"..... This poem is about a subject who's momentarily in love. I could've easily have made the subject a woman. But this doesn't directly speak for me! You don't have to ask me anymore. LOL I got the title from a line from "Mo' Better Blues" but if you blinked, you missed it. I love the flow with this one. Very easy when I recite this one at open mic. I feel like Darius Lovehall when I do this one! The girls dig the flow and rhythm, and the guys(not surprisingly) enjoy the hilarity of what I can assume is life related. Everyone wins and this is one of my favorite writes. This is probably the most focused I've ever been on a piece!

Hun you are more then a spoken word poet!!! More then a wordsmith, More then a sun burn on the back my back. You are more then the box people push you in. I never see anyone to mold and beld and shaped the poem as you do. You are more then one and to much for me to breathe in. I love and forever will be your fav and support you. We have all been here. We get placed in these imagery boxes that others have no right in placing us. They don't know us. They take ours words and bring our poetry to its knee's.

You are more then this website.......

Much love n respect,
anna

I can't wait for you to read my new poet 'Just Sex' It will be up tomorrow. It something like this. I love the way your mind works. Never lose yourself in others who don't know you or your gifted!


So she went and changed her hair,

but now he just don't care!
Unless that different hair's attached

To a different derriere!!

This is sooo true! lol '"laughing at myself" lol

[EmpressPoetess]

Wow! I would love to have been there at open mic! Reading this is a sensory sensation, but hearing you perform this has to be a total body experience!

[sisyqueen2008]

i'm glad you got to say this on the mic 'cause it was hot! lol but i was so funny and you never cease to amaze me. :)

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

Wow! striking poem. i can see why it's one of your favorites...here are some of my favortie parts:

His well chosen words surge smoothly through her nerves and they flow
lower and lower as her flirting (it's true, sometimes what a man says, can surge throughyour body, causing you to feel more....well,,,,,,,wanting them lol)

gets bolder and bolder
so like Bonita Applebum,
she had to put him on.

(yeeeah! tribe called quest. "bonita applebaum" my favorite rap group, and you put them in here..thanks)

Lease it from month to month, never a long-term resident (strong metaphor....i love your metaphors you choose here. i like your style...and i'm sure everyone here does to...)

Bold, in your face and too true...except for one small detail...you can't fall in love momentarily, you can fall in lust, but definitely not love and this is ALL about lust.
You do not realise what you have defined I feel. This is a description of a casual one-night stand. It has a sadness about it that lingers with this reader. I can only hope that it is fiction and not based on your own experience because that would make it sadder still.
Blesssssss

"She walked with the presence of September 11th"

Well that's a killer first line, got me fully focused right there and then the rhythm just kind of carried me through the whole piece barely giving me time to catch the images. On second read I slowed down to admire the detail. Very nice piece, it sounds good as it trips off the tongue, it looks good on the page and it must be a great piece to perform and hear performed.

I agree with your note...this one flows well. I particularly like the subject matter. I can only imagine how this resonates vocally, since presentation has so much to do with perception of mind creating imagery.
As always...you've captured the essence of humanities raw animal instinct!
I love this write! Like:

He's attention deficient,
Love, it makes him hesitant
Lease it from month to month, never a long-term resident

That was brilliant! And I also liked:

It's evident, yet irrelevant to pursue
When she says "I LOVE YOU!"
He says
"I LOVE YOU TOO.................NIGHT!

Let's make love and make that same love leave later

Is this not how love goes repetitively? Before (and sometimes after) the ' right one ' is found?
Once, again...you have special gifted way of reciting this thing we call life. Many applause to you!

[Seriana]

This is so sad to me.....I can't put my finger on it completely. But this line is haunting:
"Lease it from month to month, never a long-term resident" That sucks.

I would so love to hear you recite sometime. I like the beat flow of your words! Thanks for sharing. :)

[Walkingblind]

I read this then I read my personal favorite 'vulner-Able' and I do see the focus
in this the rhyme is hot cant believe I'm just now catching it I like that! this is
the first time that I comment on your format because I've come to love it.
You make the words seem like their trying to bleed off of the screen for real,
and I think that's pretty useful to have as a poet a great understanding of your subject...
which you have and a firm grip on your format of choice because of that I felt this piece.
I like how most of your subjects in poetry are told as if they were stories....I enjoyed
it again!

[deeps]

I love this, This is surly well written and put togther, I just adored the subject of this as well. This does
flow well i like it alot. I also found it humorus as well. Love this Bridgey, well written

So she went and changed her hair,

To a different derriere!!
