Sunset

Kiss me

as if our breathing is dependent

upon your lips touching mine

my body longs for the warmth

of your tongue still bearing the faint aroma

of Castilian wine

give in to me my love

let us begin this morning

sharing adoring

gazes

as we cycle through the phases

of our romantic tour

MI AMOR

YO SOY TUYO

My love, I am yours

forevermore

 

Come my love

let us share a breakfast of warm croissants at Regatta

and linger as the locals enter then depart

smiling as they see two lovers

sharing one heart

may I impart

one bit of breaking news

before we join the world

may I peruse

your body for clues

to hidden mysteries I have yet to explore

MI AMOR

YO SOY TUYO

My love, I am yours

forevermore

 

La Parte Vieja (the old part of town)

is waitng for you my sweet

of course I know how much you love shopping

at quaint boutiques

wake up sleepy head

don't hide under the sheets

this glorious morning is begging

for you and I to be

completely and absolutely free

of all restraints

so what do you say

after you shop we will take a morning dip

and then partake in a guided tour

MI AMOR

YO SOY TUYO

My love, I am yours

forevermore

 

Yes,

the Basque Country during estate(summer) is very nice

okay Miss calorie counter

after lunch we will take a liesurely hike

to visit the Statue of the Christ

during the hike feel free to admire the breathtaking view

while I enjoy

in this picturesque setting the loveliness of you

what would you like to eat?

something small?

okay they have a nice variety of tapas here

I will order the mixed olives and cheese

also you must try chopitos

here try some

I won't tell you what it is until you taste it

open your mouth...come on baby open

there I knew you would like it

it's fried squid

oh now you want some more!

baby love

MI AMOR

YO SOY TUYO

My love, I am yours

forevermore

 

You're asking if we have time to make love before dinner?

HELLO! Baby, it's me D'ee

you have to ask

in the Basque country

the day is timed

by romanitc displays

of affection

let's be adventurous

I will ask a local if we can find a secluded part of the beach

some sort of protection

but I want to make love to you

under the canopy of the Creator's brilliant skies

I love you so very much

and do you know why?

because I am absolutely devoted to your happiness

and it is only you I adore

Oh my love

MI AMOR

YO SOY TUYO

My love, I am yours

forevermore

 

The barman tells me Aldanondo

makes an excellent steak

I love steak so you know I can't wait

he says the sea trout is very good as well

baby,

doesn't it feel wonderful to have left the hell

of our reality behind

just you and I

your hand in mine

moving to the liesurely rhythm of Olde Spanish time

I wish we didn't have to go back home

have you noticed

with the exception of checking on our children

we haven't touched our cell phones

oh by the way

tonight there is something very important I have to say

oh no..you must wait

until the sunsets over San Sebastian

why?

because I never want you to forget

the day we first met

when we first kissed

the moment we both said I love you

the first time we made love

and...Ahhh..I see the sun is setting over the ocean

and when

on bended knee

I asked you

to please marry me

YOU WILL!

come baby

there is wine to be poured

my future wife

MI AMOR

YO SOY TUYO

My love, I D'ee

am yours

FOREVERMORE

Sun, 20 Feb 2011 15:54:00 -0800 THE LAST LOVE SONG http://dgreaves.posterous.com/the-last-love-song http://dgreaves.posterous.com/the-last-love-song

Love_song

Tell me

is your love contracting

retracting

from a lack of use

were you truly acting

a leading actress on too many rainy nights

and much too much dry vermouth

 

Tales of love abound

in the recesses of forgotten minds

yet when the stars neglect to align

the combined

confessions

or our shared affection

leave us love struck and colorblind

no colors to discern

lust being a short term

answer to angels dancing

in the grottos

of ghetto avenues

to mixed reviews

 

Tell me

did you really mean it

when you said I was the one

or was I a gluton

for the religion

of a poisoned

perversity

was your interest in me

strictly

confidential

non essential

in the large scheme of things

 

Tales of our woe abound

differing in delivery

from mouth to mouth

what can our love

truly be about

if it doesn't have the clout

to silence our doubts

baby

do I have to rediscover

the man in me who once hovered

above our reality

are you and I truly meant to be

or should our intensity

 have been delayed

until

the last love song was played

 

Tell me

do you think of me

when waking to begin your day

or does my image bounce and sway

on a ray

of sunlight obscured by clouds

are you still proud

to be my baby-boo

do you replay

the passionate love we made

or a love forbade

the demons we slayed

or the nights we prayed

the wilted bouquet

or the cost we defrayed

to be hopelessly in love

when push comes to shove

do you believe in what we portray

or does our portriat belay

the cost of love we neglected to weigh

say

sweetly

that you love me

totally

absolutely

and I will respond in kind

do we now lock into a love everlasting

or remain fasting

intil the light of heaven penentrates

the darkness of our minds

do we remain frozen in time

images of once upon a time

now a crime

scene

reams upon reams

of film documented

augmented

by our doubts

 

Tales of love lost in paradise

sacrificed

to the whims of chance

our romance

our rants

our dance

in Paris, France

the wine

the sunshine

the April rain

images forgotten in our minds

lost to time

caputred only in pain

a trance

a moondance

that once enhanced

our love now broken by the shaman's spell

maybe

it's just as well

 

Tell me

are you ready to walk away

now our today

is on the precipice of a future sublime

is the time

in the hourglass

at last

out of rhythm

lost in senseless rhyme

now your heart refuses to communicate

with mine

will we refuse to climb

obstacles now

in the prime

of our love lives

can we hope to survive

will we continue to be starved for love

or revive

our love long delayed

pardon me

mon cheri

I will wait for your confession of love everlasting

when the last love song has played

Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:36:00 -0800 HEAR ME (a total love tome) http://dgreaves.posterous.com/hear-me-a-total-love-tome http://dgreaves.posterous.com/hear-me-a-total-love-tome

Love1

Hear me

detect the longing in my dulcid tones

and if what I espouse is pleasing to thy ear

make haste and read on my dear

for my passion is built upon the foundation

of your sight and sound

the beautiful years hath departed

now return in the wistful moments we share

picnicking in Hills blushing with remembrance

of our careless, carefree affair

oh

how we dared to question fate and force time

to bend to our will

and yet no thrill

visceral

vital

vanglorious

bowing to the vainites sparked by the bonfire

of our love in bloom can hope to cojoin our love

if you do not hear me

a voice longing to be

in lust

in love

in passion

in prodigious harmonic synchronicity

with the siren call of an earth angel

gently

sweetly

lovingly

restoring a heart to its rightful place

interwoven I am

veritcally

diagonally and horizontally

to your tapestry

our tones

through our moans

slightly altered

as love escapes the confines of cowardice

desirous of finding a way home

after travelling in torturous trevail

through blinding snow and pelting hail

down forgotten avenues uncharted by men

through sin and redemption

to find you once again

waiting

anticipating

our mating in the Hills we hath called our own

and though the nuances of love waver

like our voices upon the relentless Andean winds

true love portends

to eviscerate the demon's faithless choice

for no woman

wanting

bewitching

moist

can turn my loving eyes from your beauty

my love hear me

and I will

estar entre dos fuegos

yes throw myself between the devil and restless sea

to be but one entry

in your docket of everlasting love

this we know

what should be

never is

and what is

cannot be

if you do not hear me

our journey

has yet to begin

and we face insurmountable odds

the road we trod

is littered with love's intention

the invention of hopeful designs

the intervention of passion once sublime

and yet they have failed

tales

that cast pale

upon full moon in these unforgiving hills

and still

we shant say goodbye to our friend and confidant chance

for what chances do we have

if unconditional love hath grown fatigued

by walking a path leading to nowhere

what words

shall the spirits whisper to thee

when you hear me

my passionate delivery

of this simple and quaint prose

I suppose

the contours of heaven

are shaped by this love me make

and the doubts we forsake

my life be at the mercy of demons

if I do not retrace

each faltering step

back into your embrace

my words are comissioned by the gods

and if I deny thy love

I will stand forever in judgement of the Supreme

to be cast upon

the peak of Olympus Mons

where the red dust of Mars

shall swallow my lying flesh

ah

but if you believe in me

I shall submit a request to the Supreme

for in this our winter of discontent

a spiring shall burst forth eternally

if my love you hear me

cherry blossums will flutter

like snowflakes on a steamy lawn

and dance in the Andean breeze

like marionettes

and placed upon our doorstep

will be a melody

of

YOU AND I

I AND U

U AND ME

and never again in these foreboding hills

shall the frostiness in late winter air

penetrate the layers

of my absolute devotion

for

when I think of you

when I drink to you

when I beseech the gods for you

when I reach into my soul

and cry to you

I shall remember always the first spring

of our new dawn

and the hissing of rain upon Andean lawns

if

you

can

only

hear

me

Fri, 28 Jan 2011 06:18:00 -0800 I DONT CARE (A real love vibe) http://dgreaves.posterous.com/i-dont-care-a-real-love-vibe http://dgreaves.posterous.com/i-dont-care-a-real-love-vibe

Care

What up fam..this is Brotha Dee with my alter ego Dizz

and we gonna flow into a real love joint..an undilluted..undisputed love..check it out

 

When you have a chest cold baby

I will wipe your runny nose

if you need me just holla lady

I will be in the bathroom

washin out your pantyhose

and your delicate underwear

I dont care

 

When you cant get outta bed baby

I will brush your teeth

and wash your pretty face

make some breakfast 

brew the coffee

and sweeten it 2 your taste

we are a perfect pair

I dont care

 

When your ex was knockin on the door baby

we had a talk man 2 man

aint tryin 2 replace him as your childrens father

he wont be back no more

he understands

we both have the vacant ghetto stare

he knows

I dont care

 

When your body is racked with the flu baby

I will lead you 2 a warm bath

you aint just a sweet sentence lady

you are the punctuation in my paragraph

all in love is fair

I dont care

 

Dizz break it down...

 

Wind up and let me go

where I stop 

my baby know

lady listen 2 my flow

I just want our thing 2 grow

you my capo di tutti capi

my mami

my mama san

rescued me

from philly saigon

the city is like radon

invisible death

2 many raids on

2 many brothas crackin up

2 many sistas shackin up

2 many thirsty

2 few cups

2 many crabs 

2 get a leg up

 

Brotha dee

flow that love free..

 

When your job made you a surplus

your trust

in me was profound

worked so much overtime baby

many nights i was the last man around

but a black man dont rip and tear

I dont care

 

When my family questioned your motives

I told them if you cant accept her

yall aint down with me

after many miles 

they peeped your style

now they are sharing the road 2 our destiny

your my city

I am your mayor

I dont care

 

When the sate was tryin 2 convict me

it was a case of mistaken identity

my lawyer told me

you swayed the judge and jury

with your heartfelt testimony

definition of ride or die

and you didnt lie

now that is why

you  are the ceo of my chair

and I am your man

I dont care

 

When your pregnancy ended prematurely

and we lost our baby

your first words were baby

sorry I let you down

even the doctor was cryin pretty lady

and that is why you wear  my crown

I would die 4 you

world you betta beware

I dont care

 

Dizz..kick the outro

 

You are the ebony essence

of ancestral african eloquence

spiritually affluent

among the ghetto insurgence

wash the grit out

with a jesus detergent

gotta say you are clairvoyance

kept me outta ignorance

taught me 2 ignore petty nuisance

when we are low on finance

you would rather stay home

and slow dance

never looked at me askance

when I was a street corner conductor

you gave me a chance

now we ridin the 3rd rail

aplha female

omega male

gods blessing is upon us

love and you are synonymous

a perfect synchronicity

come on baby

 lets you and me

tie the knot as bride and groom

it is time 4 us 2 jump the broom

 

 

Yeah..Brotha Dee and dizz..my alter ego

one and the same

no fluff 

no game

real love.real life..real rap

 

I am out..let it fade

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 15:50:00 -0800 OUR PLAYGROUND OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS http://dgreaves.posterous.com/our-playground-of-forgotten-dreams http://dgreaves.posterous.com/our-playground-of-forgotten-dreams

Teenlove

Yeah..y'all wanna ride with me?

come on..let's go back

for some of us WAYYYYY BACK! LOL!

Kool..keep that smile going..I dig that

let's go....

 

Running through abandoned buildings

can't find you

don't know where 2 begin

I vibe while listening 2 the distant echoes

of our inner city origins

 

Chilling on the front steps

you and I

friends and pairs

listening 2 late night music

your girlfriend twisting braids into your hair

 

Why when we grow older

is a smile never as it once seemed

still, every time I feel lonely baby girl

I reminisce about

Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

 

The ice cream truck is coming

I don't have but 50 cents

I buy you a double cone with sprinkles

the best money I've ever spent

 

All around us chaos

adults lving with obvious lies

but Philly became a slice of Paradise baby love

when I looked into your eyes

 

Running 2 catch the fellas

playing basketball

choosing teams

now every time I pass a park baby girl

I reminisce about

Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

 

Check it out...

and then I slide

into a magic carpet ride

when Black Pride

was our guide

and when you cried

your tears I dried

when we played seek and hide

I was on your side

but when I looked around

the dream had died

and no matter how hard we tried

the gulf was

much too wide

sadly now

only with our memories

I can confide

 

 

Running through the early morning

catch my girl

kiss my girl

in grass wet with morning dew

stopping 2 smell your perfume

ignoring the smart remarks of my crew

 

Why can't the school bell ring sooner

I need 2 feel your smile

ignoring the street corner prophets

and the neglected garbage piles

 

Time waits 4 no one

true words spoken

but why must he be such a fiend

leaving adult hearts lonely

with only

Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

 

Placing my favorite gold chain

around your slender neck

all the fellas know now you belong 2 D'ee

so they'd better come correct

 

Starting the 1st day of high school

trying so hard

holding on to our grade school crush

but different faces

in new places

affects each and every one of us

 

Despite all of the new technology

current reality

and distant memory

stand side by side on a balance beam

can't relive the past

only thing that lasts

is reminiscing about

Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

 

check it out...

and though our memories

are always free

I don't need them 2 be

constantly

reminding me

of the ecstasy

of you lying next 2 me

no one but you and I

I and U

you and me

he and she

my baby love and D'ee

kissing under

a canopy

of sycamore trees

imploring the birds

and the bees

2 represent the reality

of 2 young lovers sharing

love's destiny

 

yeah...i dedicate this joint 2 the 5-8 what's it Worth crew

2 Neicy

Tiff

Charlene

Stephanie

and last but certainly not least Poo

 

much respect and love....

let it fade....
