All Of Me Poem by Aba Radical

All of me
Just three words
Not I love you
Or the syllabus ‘co-lor-ful'
Those are just words
It is all of me
And that's the real work
Its works not words

Take all of me dear
All of me
I don't mean have sex
With me this year
And forget he is not yet my ex
No need to grab my breast
Or take my body and undress
Your lips should not caress mine
They should be like non-tasted wine
But I still need you to take all of me

Take all of me
Hold me close with love
Don't deceive me with lust
Because non- lubricated love
Like hinges are sure to rust
You need me to need you
I need you to be the man i can trust
I hope it's not too much to ask

Don't allow the air of confusion
And moisture of political oppression
Oxidize and corrode our initial intentions
Or lead you to make fabricated confessions
Let's blubber our hearts with unconditional love of no deception

Take all of me dear
Take all of me
Take the worse of me too
Don't give me something that is not rare
No ‘punch lines', speak! Don't woo
Take the mind that disagrees with you
And the eye that doesn't see eye to eye like glue

Pluck all my herbs and prune my hedges
Admire my invisible curves and accept my edges
Receive it all without removing my leggings

Sew my sharp cracks; make stitches
Make the contender jealous; ignore the side chicks
Know my fault lines are only sketches
And feel free to recycle my gibberish

Respect my snore
Salute my fart
Honor my nose picking
Cherish my heart
My tears you should never ignore
And do well to love me more than your cat

Don't be like the others who
Discombobulate my mind
With words, their vibes
Don't be like them too
And lust after my looks
And steel me from my books
Please do not admire my stature
While you steal me away from my future

I am beautiful but my beauty
Can decide whether or not to lie in your eyes
Because they have to be beheld first
I'm smart but sometimes
Your mind fails to see my life
The two sides of your brains must contest
I am strong don't let my body deceive you
I am only human and not an angel, can't you see that too?
If I'm perfect then I'm not being real
Let my imperfections prove to you that I'm real

This is me
I won't take you through a game of guess
What you see is what you get
Nothing more nothing less
Remember this always
And don't forget
That's it is either all of me or nothing at all
It's the best of me and the worse of me
You deal with both of them
Take all of me dear, all of me
Even the ones your eyes right now fails see!

NB: ‘punch lines'- sweet words
