Song





I
am a perfect song
harmony guided by the heart felt
desires of the song's creator
sweet words I play in your heart
without knowing

Out of sight
you walk away hoping every note
will become less and less noticeable
to your delicate ear
U hum, not realizing
passion drips from your lips
as to kiss me gently
here
there

Unaware
we sing the same tune
vibrations on similar
frequencies
reflections of the same
measure
continuing to write
this verse without
your touch
imagery decides
every note

Lyrically, I am divine
the chorus only quickens
your fervent need to
rewrite this lullaby
so you no more can be tormented
by the words I speak to your soul
I am your perfect song

My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
