Jeronica Alston Poems

I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I can only be me
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
Like that girl you want me to be
...

I love you, means right now
And for the rest of my life
I love you, means I’ll deal
With all the pain and strife.
...

You’ve given me a new dance
A new hope, a new song
You’ve given me a new life and new words on my tongue
...

I tried to be nice
And do everything with a smile
But now I realize
I was only your clown
...

If you only knew how people really felt.
If you knew how many times I stuck up for you when people would spit on your name.
How the same people you hang with were the ones who were coming to me lying on you.
How they didn't want us together, but now you've shown me it was all for nothing.
...

I don't live in the hood
I don't hang with thugs
My momma aint no drunk
and neva been sprung out on drugs
...

You got exactly what you wanted from me
And fling that relieved your wildest desires
A time that was for your own pleasure
After it there was nothing for me
...

Believing all you've ever said
Never thinking it was a lie
Sadly I was misled
At night I always cry
...

As gentle as a newly blossomed flower, flowing with the breeze. The feeling of joy from you, I perceive, ceases all things. The tenderness of your lips arouse my mind sensually to a point where it could break, knowing that you could take

me to my wildering desires, where you set fire to my soul and mind. In turn baby I want to deliver you from reality to a place totally enchanted, full of love and tranquility, rarely inhabited by man, fresh and a newed land--Serenity
