Urgent


Other women have always told me
that I want what I want when I want it.
You didn't have to say it..
but you know that it does show..
that I can't always have my way
nor flaunt it..
but girl you do know.../

We are standing out here in the rain
and so I desperately need to explain
the feelings that are right at the edge of
my brain...
but up until now haven't been heard.
anytime you feel you're on my frequency
then let me know you understand the urgency../

/Because it's urgent..
it's urgent that we get past
the red tape...
It's Urgent
it's as urgent as the love
that we might one day make..
Urgent that we sort out our pain
Urgent that I get to love you..
Urgent still that we get out of this rain../

Other women have always told me
that I want what I know I can't have
at the time....
Other women think they know me...
really I'm not that bad..
just addicted to the beautifully sublime...
and I'm confident
that you wouldn't even be out here
in this weather if you didn't think
we had a chance to be together...
and that maybe I had a chance of making you mine../

Yet here we are standing in the rain...
and you telling me that I don't have to explain..
Sorry ' is a word you never have to say..
Not if we both agree that we feel the same way../

/So if you're on my frequency...
then let me know you feel the urgency...
because baby girl
it's urgent...
Urgent that we get past the red tape..
It's as urgent as the time we don't need to waste..
Urgent we sort out our pain...
Urgent ,I get to love you...
Urgent still we both get out of this rain../

Can somebody tell me where Berry Gordy is? Or if not him Clive Davis? If you see them, tell 'em to call me. It's Urgent.

You and free spirit inspired me to start a poetry blog, but after reading this I might need to shut it down.

Have a blessed week bro.

Keith, this was good..You're becoming like a rock star of bloggers everyday.

Keith said...

"The Rock star of Bloggers?" -hahahahahahahahahaha, really, I appreciate the compliment, but I never thought of myself as that or "The King" of anything...There are some other really sharp bloggers out there that I'm in awe of , who you guys need to read...
I'm trying to keep up with them.
But thanks for the love.
