Herbie Hancock

The fusion I hear

When jazz is in the air

Not a damn word appears

Orgasmic to my ears

Men playing along their souls with out fear

Percussion, saxophones, piano oh lord I think that was a tear

Tearing of my skin trying to let this music in

This wondrous compilation

Ridding of all frustration

Believe it or not my spirit is trying to go into manifestation

True music moves mountains, and sets your soul free.

Is there that man?




Is there that man

Im not sure if I believe anymore

Not sure if the intuitive lover exists anymore

Not sure if consistency, reciprocity, real love. Does it exist? Mere contemplation makes me want to draw a fist.

Love making from the inside out

Deep thoughts transcending in silences

Someone who Id wear no robe of secrecy with

The only earthly being I could confide in

Romancing one another spiritually

Glances filled with rich lyrical symphonies

Could there be that man

To love me for me

In quiet moments when I look into his eyes Id see reflections of me

For we would be one in the same

Yet different bodies wed claim

Could there be that man

Ready to show me his love dance

Caress my body and thoughts while in his man stance

Penetrate deep down in my soul

While creating oceans that my panties could not hold

Could there be that man

Who knows unconditional love is a possibility, and chooses to exercise it with me

All trials and tribulations wed encounter were just meant to strengthen our bond

Because he knows the essence of dreams to fruition starts with, I can

Could there be that man

Who shows me his tears

Lets me in on his fears

Mentally strong yet emotionally tender

When he thinks of me his first thoughts arent how could I bend her?

Could there be that man

Who knows perms and extensions arent natural

Long hair fake nails dont matter

That they are all representations of lack of self love imposed by the oppressor

Whos willing to see the beauty in his woman if she chooses to throw away the press and curl

And maybe shave her head or grow some dreads or wear her natural curls

Could there be that man

That knows his and her bodies are temples encasing the soul

Stepping out of the relationship is not a manly goal

Its just contamination of the soul

Thats deteriorating the whole

Faithful and true because he knows it doesnt take a day to realize that the sun is shining

Yet realizes that true love isnt always knocking at his door

Its usually loves imposter Lust that is breaking down his door

Telling him he needs to score

Enticing him to bust and slam every woman to the floor

Could there be that man?

Do you see that man?

An ideal is not what I just explored

Its what separates real men from being societys common corner whores

Just want to be


So I plug into myself

Listen to my own tunes

Create my own rhythm

Dance to my own beat

Fighting to avoid the shame that comes with defeat

Preaching to me a mile a minute

How I should be, how I should live in it

From the time I open my eyes in the morning

To the moment I close them again at night

Im fed smokes screens and mirrors, fragile like glasses

Empty and drone like they want me to be like the masses

Ghetto superstar, or chocolate skin with pretentious blonde extensions

This is what they forget to mention

When they gather us all to participate

And become brainwashed in at their universal conventions

Fighting temptation and just trying to be

What do they call it

I think it was
