Freewrite (New NoteBook ~ First Poem)

Welcome to my escape from reality…

A mirror to my soul,

My never-never land,

Understand?

 

A dream to write the words that whole world sing

or preach rather

in the hopes that maybe it’ll mean something when I’m gone…

my worst fear is wondering if this even matter when I’m gone

because the world’s being pulled by the influence of technology

and I’m hoping we don’t lose the basics in the process.

 

Excuse me miss,

May I tempt you with a verse?

 

and the contents of this book belong to,

the one and only…

 

James Desire

 

A clean slate on the date of January 26th

and I can’t believe it ended up like this

I mean how rap has become the nominator

and R&B; seems to have lost it’s appeal

what happened to the smooth seduction of the voice

From an introduction,

to the core of one’s soul

every note and rhythm makes us crave more…

and what happened to the women who believe in love

and the making of which could be so passionate,

You see all that’s needed is the right mood.

Don’t mean to intrude, but check out tracks 8 & 9 of Usher’s Confessions

That’s superstar and its interlude

and with a flow like woah

I make nonsense bring clarity

sincerely reaching into the inner depths of your mind

or even for some, their soul, just to let them know

We share something in common.

See what I’ve done is make a possibility for a connection

I long to bring a bit of understanding…

Between the few souls that float along with us on this rock called Earth.

 

Truly Yours,

James Desire

Felt like the first poem should've hit hard, something I could come back to and be like okay whatever I write next needs to exceed the way I feel about this. A standard in some sense but every body of work completed with my own hands are great in their own right. Thanks For Reading!
