Musically speaking...


Recently, I've been pondering a number of things relating to male and female relationships (see post entitled 'Nature vs. Nuture) that have come from various circumstances to which I've played a part or been a witness. Fortunately, these same thoughts and experiences have provided me with some really good material. So without further adieu, I present to you...umm...my most recently written stuffs:

The first piece, 'The Meaning':

Keeping with tradition, I find that I’m sleeping with the women, that love me most, toll taken, cause I’m not willing to reciprocate the feeling, so my friendships get blurred when I’m chilling with a different, lady, see, I thought my position was a given, but now it’s obvious, there’s no dipping without getting, wet, tears running, river in the making, so I’m sitting, intuition says leave it, let her shake it, but that’s easier said than done, especially when you’ve had the fun, and she feels she’s been had, can’t really tell her not to be upset just cause you don’t wanna answer the, questions, no hands are up, but that’s cause you know it takes two for this dance, so what am I to do when I start pulling my pants on up, and I’m walking outta the door with no romantic hug, and you sitting alone thinking, 'what the heck is the problem, why is it that we can’t become...' what you thought was us, but my thoughts are a product of my mind, not emotions, so your heart is crushed, then naturally, from the reaction we see, I’m the villain for not being what you ask me to be, but actually, I never masked my intentions of being an individual so passionately chasing the things I want with love not being one of them, at least for the moment, I know just what I wanna do, yes, and love, is what I wanna do when I’m not trying to balance my love and my love for you


The second piece, 'My Heart & I':

My heart and I, always at odds, we don’t see eye to eye, cause I think I’m a smarter guy, see, I look at it like this, til I’m living out a wish, there’s no sense in me trying to get a kiss, dismiss misses, I’m not tripping over this, cause if I want attention, I can get it from my mistress, but, he thinks I’m too smart for my own good, tries to remind me what it’s like to take flight with a nice young lady, be quiet, it’s no good, don’t dare tell me that without it I’m lonely, cause I’m not, and not only is that an excuse, it’s a poor one, so you gon have to try again, homie, and that he does with a familiar sound, fragrance from days past, brought to the here and now, then I’m caught with a feeling how it used to be, join forces with my senses and this is what they do to me, refresh thoughts that I thought I forgot, so it’s moving me in two or three directions, an old and a newer me, the question though is who to be


That's it, just wanted to share these with you since I haven't done much else lately.
