I Prepare The Poet

Poem inspired by the lyrics of Lupe Fiasco

Had a feeling that it would be a day like this
But I’m prepared for it
Brushed off my airs
Even cut my hair for it
Cause normally I don’t care for it
Don’t even bother looking for love
Then there go it
Yea right over there so I prepare the poet

Love, you gotta love it
Holding hands in public, I dig it
Everything you do and everything you doesn’t
Everything you done, well…
I hope I’m the one you does it to

I hope this trick goes wrong
And I’m cut in two
So I can feel what I’m feeling twice as much
Choose, to choose, I’d rather have you
Even if its half
And I’ll even hold for the whole if I have to because…
You’re my sunshine
You’re my moonlight
You’re the starry skies above me
Won’t you come down and hug me

I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

I whisper in her ear
“Its kind crowded in here”
“Would you care to move outsite”
She said “yea, I’ve been waiting for you”
“And I know you’ve been chasing me too”
“Since they kidnapped me from my castle”
I told her “Fire breathing dragon, he bet not harm me”
“Or he be sorry when he meets my one man army”
“You’re knight in shining armor”
On the way back she’s woken up by the horn of an SUV
I said “See, You’re too beautiful too let sleep”
Ohh but its only a daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydreamin’
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day…dream

Yeah my brain spin with velocity
Thinking about ways to get up
Wishing I could be the man
So I just stand wishing I could have her

Instead…
I'm just sitting wathcing the people in the boxes

Trying to absorb everything I see

I continue to watch the box

hoping it will give me something to unlock it with

I'm so scared to look away because

At that moment it might show me what to take off the locks with

So I chain myself to the box

Take a lock and then lock it and swallow the combination

But please, do this one thing for me
Outta the trillions of number in this world
Just leave me a few that lead to you because
You’re my sunshine
You’re my moonlight
You’re the starry skies above me
So won’t you please come down and hug me

Yeah, at time like this
I dunno what to do but rhyme like this
She probably doesn’t even know I exist
Can’t figure out why I can’t take this
Yeah, at time like this
I’m wishing I could be a little stronger than this
Too many worries and pre-requesities
Just to reach ya, just to be with ya
So far, still so far apart, all I want is just to talk…
