This poem was inspired by an old friend of mine (A. Malveaux), we literally wrote poems in response to one another. Something to note is that he wrote a poem called I AM and I loved it, while it had nothing to do with me, I wanted to write one with the same title so I wrote the first poem you will see below "I Am (response to you)" and it is about him.
Then I wrote the subsequent poem called "DAMN" before he told me the poem he was writing. The last poem is his response to my poem called "DAMN". Each of the pieces are original works, and I only take credit for the pieces that I composed. These poems were composed between the years of 2005-2007.
Would have never thought After all this time I Was still on your mind Like kids We share our journey Our focus We discover is connected You enjoy what I love I love what you enjoy And admire your voice Your ability to vocalize What I can't Speaking to me Understanding me I embrace you I am responding to you So What do you say Because I am Confronting What neither of us can deny Damn Its funny how you know My words before they are spoken Your ideas are mine And my life You have lived You get me No one gets me But YOU GET ME And I am speechless So I await your response to My responding to you What would you say that I am? Because I think That I am The female version of you
DAMN -MY POEM (A. Garrett) Damn Your mind Soul And words Baffle me So amazing That I can't quite decipher Your drive Or maybe Maybe it's me You are driven by me So abrupt I entered your world Turned you inside out And now You don't know which way is up And Now I have allowed for you to Jeopardize my space My world It is so mixed up in you Damn Sent Chills down my spine with your words and your voice bypasses all Goes straight to my blood It supports me What would I be without it Now that I know It is Damn Your mind Soul and words Baffle me But now I have no choice But to continue To allow them to be The reason I Am The reason I Be
Damn (I AM) -HIS POEM (A. Malveaux) Well In response I say damn. I say that you are "Am"… The same as I An evolving You. And who knew That at this point You could be so empowering. Instantly in my life, My time, my mind. A perfect mixture Of your Past, your present, And your future. And already I'm better. Damn. And this is the life I live The life I know The life I love. Simply because it's mine And one email Or phone call Can change it all The present and the future But for the better. For a better smile A better voice A better embrace. At least to me And that's all that matters Because life is short And love is scarce. But my life has prepared me For the downs and the ups The almosts and not quites The more bad than goods. But honestly I wasn't prepared For this For YOU. New dreams And cautious hopes Now control my thoughts Wondering if they're yours or not. If we're really on the same tune On similar paths. And I wish to see the future But no rush Because I enjoy THIS. I enjoy conversing with your soul And you to mine. Years later equal Better than before. That's how I feel. As if, The past happened just for today. Just to be able to look back and say Damn. Damn. So Speechless no longer I am. I know the words But the verbiage sometimes avoids me. Maybe waiting for the perfect moment. That perfect moment. Hmmm. When it does come I can see words not being needed. Because we're deeper… You have materialized Yesterday's dreams. And I should thank you. And I will At that perfect moment. And if things get bad I hope I'm able to remember this good, This feeling. This EXACT feeling That I have inside For You. Damn!!!
