I`m inspired by her full lips...deep brown, smiling almond-shaped eyes...her pretty smile inspires me...her thick thighs...the small of her back...the scent of her skin...that inside part of her thigh that asks me to come in...the shape of her hips...the point of her nose...her subtle movements that speak that cause me to go where she goes...her pride...her blissful intent with her touches...the power and history based on her stride...the confidence in her stare...the sweet sound of her soul... What inspires me?.... You...as if you didn`t know....

I`m as cool and as real as they come. I`m a reactionary...I react to how you come at me. If you come correct then correct will be returned, however...if you come foul...then you better know foul will be returned just as well.

I was once asked what would be my perfect evening...I thought about it...then I answered... in 2 parts...
Soul-O: Driving up the Cali coast with the sunroof wide...listening to Prince, Musiq, Erykah, Bilal...stopping off to watch the waves reach the shore...drowning in my thoughts...contemplating of what is to come...of everything that already has...
Soul-Mate: A nice romantic picnic in a secluded cove...listening to Maxwell, Jill, Rahsaan, or D`...reciting poetry...walking a quaint low-key strip mall...getting a room and becoming "involved" with each other in every aspect of the word itself...

INSTALLMENT SEVEN: WHAT YOU DRANKIN`, SISTA?
(iwudluv2seehowutasteazalikwid?)
~~~jazz and a chocolate martini~~~
a fierce flame, she
sashayed into clouded
grays of blue, one evening
fire swirling hot
red lips, full and
announcing
thinking of Miles
and Coltrane
and Parker
smooth jazz and
a martini, chocolate...
maybe two
thighs, the way i
like them, thick
like honey, mmm
sweet, dark
and pouring, slowly
over my
imaginations, wanting to
slurp, lick and
taste
you, fooling me
with psychedelic dreams
of you and me and
you, saying boldly
to brown peering
eyes?
"i don't want no man
just jazz and a martini,
chocolate... maybe two"
whoa, that so?
subtract me, no addition
just you, i see
well, hey, that`s cool
do ya thang, sista cornbread
bad self and all
just you, your jazz
and a martini,
chocolate... maybe two
You is where you'll find me
You're the catalyst in my wet dreams
My temperature's in the hundreds
I have a case of you it seems
I've had thoughts of us copulating in a lust-filled room
Tongues in bound
Erotic sounds
Under light from a crescent moon
This illness called Passion I must accept
For now, I see no cure
My pain - fantastic, anesthsia calls
I've reached an ecstasy pure
Your prescription - medicinal bliss
I ache for you every night
Doses and doses of your sexual joy
You're my beautiful nude delight
You is where you'll fine me
You're the catalyst in my wet dreams
My fever's runnin' kind of high
I have a case of you it seems
Every strand of hair on your body I'd count
To show it's you I only adore
It's heaven being this close to you
Inside you I wanna explore
This erotic fixation with you I've reached
My emancipation won't be achieved
If sex took on a physical form
You are whom sex would be
The thrills you spill are so infectious
I break out in a cold sweat
I enjoy tasting your most intimate place
I enjoy making you wet
You is where you'll find me
You're the catalyst in my wet dreams
My fever has reached boiling point
I have a case of you it seems
And if there's a cure for this...I don't want it...
