Pragmatic Romantic (Written By Iesha Gray)

"Pragmatic Romantic"
A dedication to the struggle of womanhood
The dichotomy of my monopoly on monogomy;
the declaration of hypocrisy in my ever elusive quest to be
"the perfect verse over a tight beat"
my Brown Sugar carmalizes under the HEAT...
Yet, I stay coming back to love like I left something.
A spiraling journey asking me, repeatedly, the meaning of me:
The last daughter of May, I resent the darkness rain brings to the day and ironically
I delight in losing what I never had.
I have a fondness for happiness,
certain confidence,
an affinity driven by the wedge spliting reason,
spawning common sense, that screams, "ALL PURPOSE DETERRENT/DISINFECTANT!"
Inevitabily leaving me out of service and subject to the monotony of all that is remedial...
In other words.......
Its like moving in slow motion
in the calming eye of a hurricane watching destruction tear down everything around you.
A beautiful artistry always in a state of becoming,
transforming from who I was to who I am, a linear paradox spanning across the horizon of me.
The logarithm of the essence of my destiny, "Every little thang wants to be loved" but the magnitude of my wants far overshadows what you can give me.
Realistically my love is better described as an enigma, forging the unconventional path:
Rooted in Proverbs 31, implications of love that can be fulfilled by no one; it is a fleeting conglomerate, a bastard of the "American Dream".
A romanticized ideal that killed the "miner's canary"...yes, honestly HONESTY can be messy!
But what is seen as messy can be fractal
Too beautiful but practical...
Wise beyond my years and mature to the point of tears.
My fears matched only by the long road women trugged, GOD is my judge.
Show me a pragmatic romantic and I'll show you a person understanding and deserving of REAL DEEP LOVE......
