    CLOSE MY EYES

    Closed

    check it out

    ladies put the coffee down

    stop multi tasking and just read

    because right about now 

    a brother needs your full and undivided attention

    retention 

    being what it is in a human being

    i need you 2 believe what you are seeing

    where or when

    some questions that have a genesis in doubt

    we fail 2 comprehend

    is he really your brother

    is she truly a friend

    hiding behind our doubts

    and calling it strength

    talking abouth how we are willing

    2 run a marathon for the sake of  love

    getting tired when we hit a quarter length

    now

    both genders do indeed fit into

    certain stereotypes

    problem is 

    both genders tend to believe the hype

    i mean why are we more willing 

    2 read self help book than help ourselves

    and why  do we seek relationship advice

    yet we are so darn quick 2 advise our friends

    on relationships

    like we hip

    2 the game of life

    but if we are truly hip

    why when it is time 2 swim

    in the deep end of the cesspool

    called dating

    or if it is really raw and uncensored

    mating

    we end up debating

    mind manipulating

    a frustrating 

    cycle of hearts lost 

    whereabouts  unknown

    20 second timeout ladies

    i hear some cellies ringing

    lets pause 4 the casue

    so yall can deal with your immediate reality

    you can get come back 2 me

    brotha dee aint going nowhere

    i swear

    ........20...10..5...4...3..2...one

    sure you are done

    dont rush back just because we are on a vibe

    somethings in our lives 

    just dont slide

    and tonight i dont want you asking why

    you cry

    everytime  you close your eyes

     

    now i wonder i cant deny

    that old saying  everybody wants 

    2 go 2  heaven but no one wants 2 die

    mirrors  reflecting the true intentions

    of our souls dont lie

    and lies tend 2 magnify

    when you swap spit

    or hit it and quit

    or tame the shrew

    or flikka da bic

    point being 

    the wounds that dont heal

    tend 2 be revealed

    by our nakedness

    yall bear witness

    the brother with the gift of gab

    his sweat shirt dont reveal

    the stomach flab

    and his soul cant have 

    a confab

    with yours

    2 bad

    so sad

    he gotta go out the door

    the sister who give you an erection

    body banging from the wonder bra

    and girdle protection

    trippin about the cute little mark 

    left from her last c section

    but her mind is so full of insurrection

    that  a  brother cant wait 2 give her directions

    back 2 her crib

    i raised my baby

    so i dont have any more bibs

    get 2 steppin nah mean

    now...hold up

    why are you ladies reading this 

    during stops in traffic

    drive safely and finish this joint

    when you get home

    or at lunch look up dgreavesthe poet

    on your smart phone

    i will get back at you later on

    go make them skittles

    that 401 k

    aint gonna pay 4 itself

    i just dont want 2 hear through 

    the grapevine that your hope 4 love

    your  quest 2 be in love dies

    everytime you close your eyes

     

    how was your day

    same old same

    mine

    i cant complain

    i drink wine 

    but i dont like 2 whine nah mean

    what do you need 2 know about me

    okay...briefly this is brother dee

    love is not a free

    standing structure

    it needs and requires a foundation 

    of devotion

    trust and respect

    you see love can make you feel good

    but without the foundation eventually

    love wont make you feel worthy 

    of being loved

    because you cant fall in love with me

    if you are out of touch with you

    feel me

    i dont hustle back

    back track

    or retract

    any statement

    meant from my heart

    i know the start 

    of any association has both parties

    putting the best stuff out there

    truly i am aware

    so i wait 

    and contemplate

    and meditate

    because my fate 

    can rest on anyones chest

    but my lord understand

    i am a man

    words dont define who i am

    they are only a snapshot

    and should be viewed as such

    i like 2 touch 

    and hug

    but i wont bug 

    you if you are in a mood

    wont disturb your groove

    i 

    2 ensure our destiny

    if we have one

    i dont hold on 2 yesterday

    that tight

    dont live 4 tonight 

    if it is  early afternoon

    dont plan 4 the future

    unless we both have put down payments

    on  our house of love

    half and half

    no secret stash

    i dont gash

    slash

    and burn

    wait 4 my turn

    yearn if it aint my turn

    or spurn 

    the potentiality 

    of loves harmony

    becasue i have been there when it was

    both sweet and sour

    and i know now 2 people in love 

    have the power 

    to overcome 

    anyone 

    with bad intentions

    love is not an invention

    it is a blessing

    so i dont go messing 

    up the fathers cup

    of salvation

    and love in its purest form

    can heal

    so i appeal

    2 all of you ladies

    i hurt just like you

    pretend not 2 be hurt just like you

    convince myself i dont need you 

    just like you do

    i do aspire 2 be a be a better man

    and real rap i feel i am 

    damn

    good right now

    all i need is a woman 

    who can show and tell

    with no subterfuge or surprise

    because i need to trust  you

    when i lay down with you

    and close my eyes

     

    have a great rest of your day

    by the way

    never forget that you are a queen

    nah mean

    peace and blessings
