girl i wasn’t askin’ for much really just his wake up kiss to put itself on my lips his morning voice in my ear i really just wanted his hand to grab mine drag me gigglin’ feet first in love past the bodega where the old lady sits sippin’ up morning that wiry dog beside her past the fine young things on the corner eyein’ him past the palms and purple lantanas the brothas doin’ the dozens i just wanted him to make me run so fast i couldn’t breathe so fast doubt couldn’t catch me so fast he couldn’t get in front of me you know you can’t leave a woman from behind i’m talkin’ ‘bout that’s all I wanted now girl was that askin’ too much really? ____________________ to the poet nikki giovanni because she would understand |

Lady....No, you can't leave a woman from behind ! Such freshness is a pleasure to read and you seem to do it every time and so easily.  |

I saw this at around O:dark-thirty this morning and knew from the title alone that I would be in for a treat. ~*~ i just wanted him to make me run so fast i couldn’t breathe so fast doubt couldn’t catch me so fast he couldn’t get in front of me ~*~ May I hang with you? I'll even cook, if you let me read ALL of your poetry, and duet with you. Quickly becoming one of my fave first reads...even if it is later in the day.  |

There is no style that you simply do NOT grab hold of and make your own. A wonder, this Lady is. Sandra |
