scary @ me©*

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
what if my alliterations ain't good enough
will i regret risking  rejection
or punish myself for punking  out on this poetic process.

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
what if i have to change my style
you know I don't be rhyming
and at times I'm off with my timingi
s this poem worth all the climbing
out of my comfort zone?

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
I don't want to look like an oxymoron
because at times I am clearly misunderstood
and then things can get pretty ugly

..
can you hand me your heart a pen?

First off this is a post from my blog project that I am very proud of and excited about.  It offers commentary on office life, life in general, and other randomness through commentary, poetry, music, and video, check it out, the link will be at the bottom.... Thanks myspace fam!

"Be yourself" is about the worst advice you can give some people. ~Tom Masson
 
Word!
 
But any-hoo, here we go..... Duplicity. Fronting. Soft-shoe tap. All in a day's work. le sigh..... Anyone who works for someone else for any length of time has split personalities. My dilemma: "Is there future in fronting?" (Shouts to MC Breed, get well soon, see video at end of post....) UnTrue Story:
In the morning after sliding on my sheep costume and sensible shoes, I also throw on my representative skullcap (it looks cute with my locs sticking out the side, but I digress). The skully gets me compliments, in fact it becomes all the rage. (hot on the boulevard and shit). But then one day after a hard night of drunken debauchery the Cubicle Crusader wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, 10 minutes to get ready to beat rush hour, can't be late today got some bullshit to attend to an important meeting to attend. FUCK! Sheep costume is a little wrinkled, but it'll have to do, sensible shoes are at the door, so I'm good. Hop on the road and make it to Hell work in record time. Sweet! Seems like I am forgetting something though, but can't quite put my finger on it.... Step into work, head to the meeting, I can feel something in the air, it is thick like, like, like, me (hee hee)..... and then it happens Ol' Boy the Production Manager comes out of his mouth sideways, and without hesitation he gets the sista-girl, oh no he didn't headroll, attidude, eye roll trifecta..... Dammit, now I know what I forgot, that damn representative skullcap. "Gots to be mo' careful!"
All of this to say, when you show your representative all day everyday at work isn't the real you bound to skeet out eventually? I am trying to figure out how much of yourself you have to hide. Should you hide it to begin with? How do you reconcile the two personalities/behavior? What is the meaning of life? (Hey if ya never ask.... I'm just saying)... This is what MC Breed has to say about it:

This what I have been bumping as of late in the CD/mp3 player, some old, some new, all of it dope!

This girl is so ridiculously talented....... it is a unique that defintely pleased my ear... please check out her album: "day.break", you will not be disappointed (unless you are just boring.... and boring people suck...)

 

The "Bitter" album is just a masterpiece...... never gets old.

 

If you haven't heard the new Nas album I hereby revoke your hip-hop pass...lol, but seriosuly this album is the bizness, for realz, the Nas I love that I fell in love with on Illmatic but all grown up...

 

"...I'm leaving my fingerprints...." Dangit, that's right, I intend to leave my fingerprints on this world.... Love this song by Katy Perry who is the singer of the smash hit "I Kissed a Girl", well her whole album is pretty decent... but I really love this particular song.



I heart the Brand New Heavies, they make me smile.... one of my all time favorite bands....

 

Thanks for sharing a moment of your time with me...

peace,

alise....

Dedicated to my myspace buddy "Leonard Washington", aka "Freakum Dress Aficionado":


I'm a nerd disguised in a freakum dress

With wit sharper than the stilettos I don

And this aint lipstick, it's war paint

So did you really think your lines would work ? LOL.....

Something short and sweet for ya......   Peace, Alise....

Ladrón de Besos (poem)

You are definitely a smooth criminal, but I'm not telling....

Pillager of pecks and puckers

Marauder of magical mouth to mouth moments

Sweet stolen smooches.... lip to lip larceny

Kisses are the the best ill-gotten gain

....and require accomplices

Can I be your partner in crime?....

Don't you love it when you meet someone who keeps a smille on your face, well this is my homage to that someone that has been making me smile.....

You have Alise in Wonderland once again

Evoking Cheshire cat grins

With embraces that cover a multitude of sins

Holding me tight  skin to skin

Where do I end and where do you begin?

Feeling like  kissing cousins because our souls must be kin…

Dred…. ing  this moment's end

Wondering how you stole my heart with a pen…???

And this living document you did amend

And With eyelid kisses you  ratified this  permanent grin....

(poem, part 1)

I'm a punk-ass Poet:
Hot on the page, but not in the streets
I am analytical and critical
So, yeah, I'm a hater
I am imaginative and use my poetic license
So I guess I'm a faker, a perpetraitor i suppose
I call shenannigans on nonsensical bullshit...
Will I speak up , and get beat down?
Will keeping it real go wrong?
I wonder do lyrical snitches get stiches....

A friend of mine was down today and I left her with this line from the poet laureate of Bed-Stuy ,"Live the phrase, sky's the limit..... Motherfucker!" She laughed and felt better.... mission accomplished, but of course now the song is in my head, so here is the video......  I'm back to the lab to work on some poetry..... PEACE!

New poem hot off the presses.... and I do mean hot!

 

 

Dear You,

 

I appoint your hands to be poet laureate of my pleasure
Your palms have a penchant for pretty purring places....
Possessing the precision to palm my posterior perfectly
Without pause pinpointing the position to provide plentiful passion
Pardoning ecstasy from prudish prisons
Rewarded with praises of  pouring potions....

 

I'm amazed at appendages administering attitude adjustments....

Multi-tasking hands that  manipulate moods.....

Manual motivation is a motherf…

Mmmmmmm.....

Transcendent touches that tempt  transgressions told only in Tantric texts…......

Expert extremities  excavating erogenous....

                                                   ....treasure*

 

Funny how five fingers can flip frowns
        ...... and hold tight to fragile flower frames never fracturing the foliage
             .....and find flows...
                     ......by forging through  fortresses of fear to open floodgates....
                             ........devising devilish deeds  to leave me drowning
                            in
                            dripping
                            dreams
                            of
                             diligent digits delivering doses of delight ,

Damn!

I digress.  ....

Tangibly Yours,

Alise*
