When You Look At Me Poem by Annaya The Poet

When you look at me, what do I see?
I see something that goes deep into the depths of me
Into the depths of my heart, into my soul
Piercing to my core, bringing out things untold
Is it good or bad? Are you happy or sad?
Did I do something to make you mad?
To know that I might be the ONE
To creep into your heart and give you a son
Not in the ordinary sense of the word
But as in COMPLETING what you have begun
Oh, it’s kind of scary but I don’t think in a bad way
I just wonder when you look into my eyes that way

It’s like your eyes are trying to speak out intense pain
Like you want to let go but what will you gain?
It’s like maybe you wonder if we might be soul mates
But we’ve only gone on 2 or 3 real dates
Even though we've spoken 100 times on the phone
In touch with each other’s minds; how can we go wrong?
And you probably think that I’m running some childish game
When really that’s a mission that would put me to shame
With me, what you see is what you get
The whole kitten caboodle, no games-let’s BET?
its kind of scary, I don’t think in a bad way
I just wonder when you look in my eyes that way

Time is of the essence, no time to waste
And you know like me that we BOTH move with haste
Moving and shaking and shaking and moving
So when we get together it’s a time for grooving
Listen baby, with me there is no time for game
Because just like you, I know if I’d take your last name
What I see in your eyes, passion deep and strong
A man searching for woman to have as his own
I see DESIRE to know what I’m thinking too
Wondering how I make it do what it do.
Oh, it’s kind of scary, I don’t think in a bad way
I just wonder when you look in my eyes that way

I feel and know that I’m strong in my mind
But heart, body and soul could I give them this time?
Can we find a common goal and work it together?
Or will one of us lose our dream chasing after FOREVER?
Can we make good love for a long, long time?
Or will it end when I leave or after this rhyme?
Can I elevate you to step up to my beat?
Or will you come unraveled if I step on your feet?
Oh, it’s kind of scary, kind of strange to me too
Because I know in my heart there’s something SPECIAL with you

Do you like me because I write poetic words of phrase?
Or because we are so compatible is so many ways
Maybe because I’m sexy and turn heads walking by
Naw, because you’re just as sexy so that bird won't fly
Maybe you want me to be the one to shut it all down
But I can't compete with all the other girls IN TOWN
Because when I leave and go back to my WORLD
Word is- I am no longer your girl.
That’s got to be, for me the scariest part
Because I know that you are seeping into my heart

Slowly and methodically I know you’re working your plan
Because it’s a man that chooses his mate across this land
And I already know that you already know
That you’ve already decided which way this will go
If it’s me then good, just let me know that soon
Then we can plan more rendezvous under the moon
I just hope that I’ve given you something of me
Something to move you closer to the man you want to be
Daydreaming about how we make good love together
And how you went into my DEPTHS creating A FOREVER
Space where you can come back and chill
This thing between us can be for real
Oh, it’s kind of scary, for YOU ARE my DREAM come true
And I hope that I can become the same thing for you.
