She Is I Am

Poem of apology For the misuse of a word
Some poet’s don’t rely on Webster to define their Use of the English language
I am one of them.. I sometimes make up words or redefine words
Nemesis in my poetry is used as an opposite
Not as the commonly defined enemy
So I apologize that Webster
Doesn’t know what the word nemesis means
And I apologize that anyone who agrees with Webster
May misinterpret what I am saying when I use the word Nemesis
So in closure I’m writing this poem
Using the word nemesis as I intend it
Opposite
And if a certain very special person to me was offended
By my words I apologize
I wish I could buy you the huge bouquet of flowers
But I am temporarily at an end of those means
And must rely on words…
So u should ask for 10 bouquets later
to replace the one I can’t get now…

She Is I Am
TO: Lil Cherokee

She is lil Cherokee… I am confused
If She is love… I am it’s nemesis
Although I wish to be love in the end
If She is sweet I am bitter to taste
Yearning to mix with her and make the perfect blend
If She is good I am evil
Asking for forgiveness although still a little devilish
If She is special I just exist
But existence is not as special without her
If She is beautiful well I may be a little funny looking
But modern medicine can work miracles
Or so they say
If She is intelligent I am not very smart to have used nemesis in a poem
And posted it anyplace on earth
If She is sensitive I need to learn more about being sensitive
Because I would never want to hurt her as my friend
If She is strong in silence I am noisy in apology
missing her speech
Wishing for the utterance of syllables from her breath to begin
If she understands the thoughts of men
Forgive me I don’t understand the thoughts of women
So politically correct or even perfect I may not be
But I have brown eyes that want love too
If She has a plan… I am clueless
Maybe I need help in making one
If she reads this and once smiles
Maybe I won’t have to look so sad
Missin her…
And if this poem didn’t rhyme
I am the nemesis of the rhyming of poems
And if she never speaks to me again
I will know pain…

This poem this excerpt came from was a closure for me…I wrote it about 4 days before I posted it… those days make a big difference… simple as making a decision…
“while I look into the eyes of another sweet ebony
twice as beautiful as her physically
mentally my nemesis (opposite)
while my heart half there
having what so many men want
I walk the fine line of deceit”


(Mentally my nemesis, opposite) This is not an insult I believe to a certain extent opposites attract.
(Heart half there) Love at first site rarely happens maybe once in a life time
So when falling into a new love it is a slow process. When u decide if u want to go through all the pains and pitfalls that got u there and kept u there before. Basically is it time to take the chance again?
(Having what so many men want) Because of your beauty I know many men envy or want that “Just for the looks” aspect of you
(Fine line of deceit) A line of deceit is a line I use to express the courting process when new… keeping on from heart half there… U have to go through hiding uncertainties each time you go on a date with a person you don’t know where it is going. In each courtship you know there are no guarantees or in modern dating even if a date is a sign of courtship. But nevertheless we as people go through the process of presenting ourselves in our best light, the good with no reference to the bad (a deceitfulness).

I hope I answered the thoughts (cause dial tones have been silent) that would lead to me getting a black eye when and If I see U… I write freestyle and brainstorm meaning I usually don’t go over my poems except for spelling.. So sometimes what I am trying to express may not come out perfect. But when it does not I will take all the hits for it and explain. So all this in simple…
I do like U and hope U will forgive me. And if we do hang out again and U don’t order everything on the right side of the menu I can foresee wellll… lets get to the speaking again part first…
