"Feelin' Friendly..."
  by Jamillah


I'm feelin'..friendly..
wondering can we be..
friends.. again..
brown sugas
easily conversin'
pollinating the air with sweet nothings..
busy just being..
can we start again to be thus?.. healthy for each other..
let's just
be there for each other..

Care to be???

It can be easy..

If we put away posturing..
and assuming positions..

Just tell me what you think
and I'll tell you how I feel
or
you tell me what you feel
and I'll tell you how I think...

Whatever...

I won't get the impression you're more than who you are
and, in turn,
I won't try to be
more than just little ol' me.." la- la- la- la-"ing,
lacadaisically leaping,
into this fabulous feeling...

so freeing..

Together, we can forget falling..
tripped up by trumped up notions of
love potions..played and cliched..
We'll stand erect
and
perfect
- buttressed -
by frailties and imperfections.. unashamed.. unencumbered..
just truly Beings
being human..

With you,
I intend to make Spring/Summers stay...
to grow this go round..

With you,
I will watch my foolishness
f
a

......a
....w
..a
y

I will
hunker down.. and weather winters.. with you...
.
.
.
I mean.. we can try again.. if you want us to...

Spring Summer Feeling - Jill Scott

i'll be honest, even though i know jill scott's voice is all over this, this felt like a jill scott poem. in it's simplistic way, it's romantic, has that revelation of rekindling a new love. either way, this was absolutely beautiful

This write is magical! It just has that kind of feel about it. This reader was pulled into every line wanting more and more. Great concept, creativity and word selection. 10 stars

Chills down my spine as I'm reading & FEELING this one... starting again- love anew. Such an optismistic point of view... simply lovely. I really appreciate the honest & volnerable tone here. Great song choice as well ;-)

Wheww..I needed this...I've been getting tired of the same ole' on GS. This was inspriational. I love the laid-back neo-soul flow of it and the subject matter. I also loved the motion of "fall away"--you crafted that very well. *D*
