What’s The Elevens

I love your smile,
your half-intoxicated “wow,”
your freaky style.
You drive me so wild.
What is it about you
that does this to me?
Maybe it’s your eyes
the way you conceal
and reveal your grace,
the way you stare
into my face.
Your sexy ways
got me spittin’ in ways
I never knew
a nigga could spin.
I sit deeply musin’,
wondering about
your beginning
and your end.
I wonder what makes
your tongue spin
and your mind work.
Stimulate my curiosity
with your half-intoxicated twerk.
Sing to me,
and I’ll wish upon your heart
just to touch your star.
Whisper in my ear,
and the world will never know
who you truly are.
The secrets you reveal,
I’ll keep close to my heart.
I’ll turn your love into art,
only to be discovered
when our love
sparks the heavens.
What’s the elevens?
What’s your deal?
What will you do
to keep our love real?
From this distance,
from this perspective,
your love seems ideal.
But my point of view
may be skewed
by a gangsta’s definition
of what’s real.
So, what’s your point of view,
beautiful?
Let me know
so I can learn
how to love you
for eternity.
