My 1st performance at poetry slam

was a complete success!! I fuckin' killed at the slam tonight taking 2nd place overall and missing 1st by 3/10 of a point! Anyone who missed it, missed out on the beloved furrylitldevil baring his everlasting soul to a group of 50 strangers and just nailing the performance!!

post some poetry

Here's the one that got me 2nd, it's a silly little love poem:

I don’t want to fall in love,
I wanna sink into it like a hot tub.
I wanna slowly lower myself into the almost-too-hot water until I get to that point
between here and
Clarity.
Then, when I get to that point, I just wanna sit.
I want to let love explore my body
I want it to have an intimate knowledge of
Every inch,
Every curve,
Every slight imperfection,
And I just want to absorb as much as I can through the osmosis of the moment.

I want my love, like a good song, to mean more than one thing to more than one
Person.
I want it
multi-phasic
Auto-dynamic
Infrared
Undetectable to the naked eye, can only be felt by the
Naked heart.

I want my love to be infectious.
I wanna cough on door knobs
Lick keyboards
And wipe my nose off on my hand just before I shake yours and say
“Pleased to meet you.”
Don’t worry, with plenty of liquids and bed rest, the effects only last 3-5 days.

I want my love to permeate every facet of existence.
I want to take my love for music and apply it to my love for words, then apply that to my
Love for women…though none want to apply it back to me

Right now, my love is like a 16 oz prime rib steak…in India.
It’s too much for me to have, but no one wants to share it with me.
-but that’s okay ‘cause

Too many people want to turn their love into a contract
Promising to consider the nature of the commitment only after a pre-approved credit-
Report and background check.

Or Or Or
They want to turn their love into a game
With both sides playing it out to see who wins and who
Loses.
Well that’s all well and good for some people, but if my love’s gonna be a contract, it’s
Gonna be one word written in crayon-U
And if my love’s a game, then I want me and her on the same side,
That way it's us against the world instead of each other
And no matter who loses, we both win.

I want my love to be so many things…
I want it well dressed in sandals instead shoes
I want it to be
What
When
Where
Why
How
And who.
I want my love to know nothing, except exactly what to do.
But mostly, I just want my love
To be your love, too

good work. :thumbsup:

well done!

Someday I'll get the courage to do the same .
