Sugar
spice
and everything
so very nice
standing as the greatest mountain
beauty and strength
at your very hands
dare if you will to climb and discover
the wonderment
before you
fear sets in

you are not the one

Determination guides passion
Focused and fearless
wrapped in womanhood
divinely purposed
Sensual wiles ever present
sexuality, love, and desire
knows my name
you smile at the thought of the possibility
of the thang
you know, you had the chance
you chose to move on

you are not the one

You follow my world from a distance
you peek in and out just to keep up
regret at times creeps in
What if, What if
Noticing I have moved on
taking part in the next adventure
longing for the journey to fulfill all of the desires
in my heart
Can not live in regret
as you think of the maybes
I think of you with smiles
knowing I was THERE but I walk away

and knowing

you are not the one.

It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. 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
