Baby...I Am For Real! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Baby...I am for real!
You can not buy or steal this from me.
It's prepackaged for quick delivery.
And maintains its freshness whenever it arrives!

Baby...I am for real!
You don't have to give me looks that could kill
For the thrill of having me appear less than overjoyed
In your presence.
I saw the wall you were building
Long before I decided to become carpenter and bricklayer
To remodel your misunderstandings.

Chats to hop in sacks just for that has been done!
Baby...I'm for real.
Can you 'feel' me spilling my heart out to you?
I want to lip lock with you in a kiss.
That is what the doctor said this morning I needed.
A kiss that was missed upon my lips.

Baby...I am for real!
As toasted as hot nutts on a crackling fire,
Can burn the unsuspecting.
I don't intend to fade out on this phase.
You've got the stuff that has made me perk up,
Take note and be feisty!

Baby...I am for real!
You can see that.
Would you like to touch it as well?
