It's time to do a dance for you.
Time to make your heart sail.
We've been too distant far too long.
Watch me as I dance and take off my veils.

The first veil comes off.
It's the veil of lost time.
I want to make it up to you
for every second I didn't
take time to show you
love cos I got distracted
by what I thought was life.

The second veil is revealed.
It's the veil they call trust.
Baby I'm so sorry I made you
feel that anything else was
more important than just the
two of us.

Are you entranced as you watch this dance?
Is the beat coming back to your heart?
Roses are red. They smell so good too.
Anyone can give you a rose, only I
can do this dance for you.

Are you curious about the next veil
to come off? Lover I am too.
It's the veil of sexuality,
where one is made out of two.
Here we can explore each
other again. I can't think
of a more glorious thing to do.

An adventure in each other.
In each other's arms we
will recover. New worlds
await my lover.

The last veil to come off
is the veil that reveals ourselves
to each other. There is nothing
left to hide. I can see right thru
you to your soul. You can see right
thru to mine. Here is where true
love exists and there is no more need to fear.
We just accept each other as who we are
and keep on making love my dear.

Now that I have done my dance for you,
tell me how you feel.
Have I made it up to you
with my dance of the veils?

Lover, let's forget the world is there.
Let's act from now until forever
that nothing else exists but you and
I. Let's now dance forever across the moonlit sky.

The noise went out of this room
a long time ago.
People left the party to go and
chase money. The world created alot of ho's.

Where do you stand people.
Gotta free your mind
from the shackles
and stop being a slave
to the things that money buys.
Nice clothes, a mansion, bling bling
and fancy cars ain't leavin'
with you on the day you die.

Why is it these days
so out of touch to be sexual
but so fashionable to hate?

It's time to bring back the funk.
It's time to bring back the soul.
A hip hop generation's out there
losing all control,
how they gonna get it back?

When it all comes down to it,
a good lover is all you really need.
Love yourself, love each other
and life will follow.
This truth just got lost
in the shadow of the religion of greed.

I ain't ashamed of who I am.
Neither should you.
Ain't no need to be frontin'
when the loving is true.

Like Marvin Gaye once
said let's get on again
my brother, my sister, my friend.

Got to get it on.
People to people,
soul to soul.
Gotta turn back on.
It's been too fucking long.

Selection.
Confection.
Perfection.
What do they say about you?

Champaigne.
Beer stain.
Cocaine.
What gets high on you?

Inside.
Dirty mind.
The best kind.
What brings out the freak in you?

Systematic, automatic, bureaucratic.
Someone out there is making all the rules.
Why you gonna follow them you fool?!

Success, luxury, dream teams making schemes,
justice for money. Is that all there is to be?
How much money is enough that you'll finally
set yourself free?

Immoral. Shameful. Disgraceful. That's what
they call you and me. I say they're
full of shit and jealous of us cos
we love to fuck and ain't got no
time to hate. I say they put us
down for their inability to express
their sexuality.

You are the funniest dude on just say hi.

life is good.

no.

Great poem Gryphyn!
Jim

I'm alive.
I know this cos I still got all this shit to do.

I'm no model, I confess to that.
If truth be told I'm kinda fat.
I have big shoulders,
that's a good feature.
I'm not down on myself
cos God created this creature.
Down there I am of average
size but I know how to use
it, isn't that better than just
well hung guys?
I have great legs
and big feet.
I'm often told
I'm very sweet.

We came close to ending it all.
We were within inches of a fall.
We looked inside and found a way
to put a stop to things
before we lost it all.
Isn't that the story of our lives?

Summers come.
Summers go.
There's the fall
and next the winter snow.
Spring comes and life is reborn again.
Just like the seasons
you and I are here to stay.

I think they're just trying to impress you and fishing for
things to say.

Mike, where are you?

bump.

Just starting a fun thread where I wanna see what kind of
poems people would write about their body.
Let's have fun!
Jim

I'm already feeling the love in this room!

I just wanted to let everyone know that people
from ALL nations are welcome to paricipate
in American Poet.

American Poet is open to everyone.

The next American Poet contest will take place
in either January or February.

In the meantime there is the American Poet Project Series,
the first of which is the American Poet Never-Ending Thread.
Jim

Way to go! You've got us off to a great start!

This is the new project involving American Poet.
I call it the never-ending thread. Let's post poems
and comments everday on here as many times as you want
and let's see how long we can make this sucker.
The sex and dating threads are very long- let's give them
a run for their money. This idea was inspired by the
magic that took place in the Main Stage and Second Stage
threads where the poets took each other to new and bigger
heights in writing. Let's do it people!!

Thanks. My pic today
is my own little statement.
