POEM: My Love's locked down by Ribbon

Kanye knows what's he talking about becuase he's got me locked to his lyrics. He's one of my favorite rappers along with Common, Outkast, Jay-Z and of course Tupac. Kanye's inspired me to write my version of how my love could be locked down. LOL

My Love's locked down by Ribbon

My love's locked down
caught up in complications
as cliche as it sounds
my mind's off relaxation
my feet planted on the ground
can't stop my vexation
no - I ain't a clown
but I was living to his dedication
so as I sit in my lounge
and as songs proclaim his adoration
I'm stumped and can't come around
by this astonishing revelation
my next move to just sit around
cause I'm down
my love's locked down
to the beat of your sound
it's true - I just can't come around

words expressed in thoughts on love

quick words
new words
in wild thoughts
expressed from my heart
out of my lips
into your ears
my love
do you still know me
do you want to love me
we can do this
we can mkae this happen
we are one big heart
one big love
it's sweet loving you
it's sweet knowing you
how could I not prefer only
to have you around
is it real
is it so
that we can't be apart
a love for real
a love for true
yes love
all in one lifetime

I am suffering from a little writer's block. I don't know if you can have a little or a lot of writer's block, but I have some. Thoughts are in my head but I can't get them composed.

I am more feeling the music these days - maybe it's time for a lime - not the LIME like the LIME minus the 'M' which equals LIE.

My writer's block may more be for the poetry - not the blogging. There's always something to write in my blog! I have been writing about music a lot these days so maybe I need to funnel that energy and inspiration into my poetry. My thoughts are to write something about a 'Derelict Man' or 'Vigilant Minds follow Vigilante Justice'. The topics came to me and that's how my thought process works.

I think a lot of other people follow that same process and let the thoughts just flow for an edit after. Other people are more methodical and edit while composing. Hey- to each his own! I know what works for me.

Much Love

"I'm thinking of a master plan..."



Lloyd's "Girls All Around The World" is one of my favorite songs from 2008. It's sexy - Lloyd and Lil Wayne are looking good in the video too. I think that may be one of my favorite videos of 2008 too.

"I'm thinking of a master plan,
Nah. I'm not - shawty on my mind"

I love it!

Of course the main man, Pressure Buss Pipe out of St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands (Rock City), is still a top favorite too - I will always love "Love & Affection". If you have never heard it, you need to find it. Trust me, you will be downloading it ASAP.

In the VI, Squad Up, of whom the majority of the members are my cousins - are coming on strong. "We from the Virgin Islands" is a big tune and can take them far.

I am a poet and I think I am because I love music - rhythms, beats, sounds of instruments together.... I am not a lyrist but a free style poet.

Anyway, have a good day.
