Green Eyes

My eyes are green
Because I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing
To do with your new friend

My eyes are green
Because I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing
To do with your new friend

I can be cordial, speak and play nice
Yeah girl he's a good man but lemme give you some advice
Hold on to that one because he's a rare kind
All the while biting my tongue for what I know in my mind
Is that like yin & yang, interlocking fingers
Ours could be a love that actually lingers
Unknowingly you have touched an unexplored part of heart
Deep in my soul & past my selfish parts
Left at my inhibitions and a slight right at my fears
There lies my true self that I haven't seen in years
And in such a short time you brought it out just like that
So seamless and effortless its like you had a map
But I keep the fact that I want you inside
Truthfully there isn't much else about me that I hide
And I know the same can be said for you and your soul
Because of the music and poetry you've let me hold
I'm not sure if your friend is better for you than I
I just know I wanna give you a try
More than my body my mind is calling for you
Although I gotta admit my hormones are having a say too
I'd love to run my fingers through your locks
Outline with my tongue every single box
Of your stomach until there is no more spit
But above all I want to climax your mind and see, that's just it
Mental over physical is first and foremost
Through the similes and metaphors you boast
That's how you got me like a fish on a hook
And I know she couldn't get some of that stuff if she had an answer book
But my eyes aren't green for jealousy
They represent the greener pastures I hope one day you'll see in me

Word

Friend
It's a word that gets thrown around more than frisbees in the park
Tossing it back and forth to each other like a hot potato
To the point that it loses its significance
It takes more than a conversation to be called my friend
As it should be for me
It's more than a six-letter word, a introductory greeting or label
It means that you understand why I can be the loudest person you know on Tuesday
But come Wednesday why I don't say a word
You're not surprised when I wear this to this club, and that to that club
To be my friend, the application process is strenous
Fuck that, I discriminate
If you can't handle the heat, then you're not made for this kitchen
Because my life didn't come with A/C so my oven is always on
But the benefits are countless
A friend to me, is a sister in agony
A soldier in war
The power forward to my shooting guard
And I make cuts every couple of seasons
Oh yes, I do waive, playas
Because I take the word very serious
Expect a lot, and you get a lot
Get a lot, and you can give a lot
One hand washes the other
Like a true friend

Number 8

I can't seem to get you out my mind
You torment me in my dreams with your touch and sweet kisses
I want you
But damn if I can't have you
I know that you want me
Wherever you are
I'm probably tormenting you
With my lips and smile
I wake up and I want you next to me
You don't come around often
But when you do, you latch on and stay a while
Affecting my work and my sleep
I can feel you touch my back and my stomach
Gently caressing my skin until the chill up my spine shocks me back to reality
I want you
I've pushed aside your love for so long, but now
I feen worse than an addict and his dope
I want you
But damn if I can't have you
