I wrote this acapella

when you walk drums accompany you as a score

so it's hard to ignore how easily i fell for your allure

But not to the point of being on all fours

Paddled through ponds of fantasies with oars

Wondered if your smiles were greetings like open doors

What would you do for an encore

You see i wrote this acapella

Poured my dreams into your brown eyes

They comprise of energy from bongos, marcos and horns that drives

Houses hope and places promises on land which to lie

My heart howled at the moons in the skies

Hoping all along that you weren't the wise

Subdued as a note a saxophone blew.

No extent to the amount that my heart grew

you were like a fresh breathe of air that i drew


As i wrote this acapella

These words should be like a mixtape

Something you zone out to alone with headphones as you escape

Draped you with landscapes of love that filled dreamscapes

but I've fantasized about you as of late

You see i wrote this acapella

All these thoughts are addressed in a live studio session

I'll sing the lyrics while you hum the medleys

100% original no scratched samples of flirts and tease

Those with whom you sang duets with i find i envy.

Because i fear i never can make that great of an impression

Confessions recorded for the world to hear

Perhaps my spoken words won't fall upon deaf ears

All because i wrote this acapella


[i first read a rough version of this at a talent show christmas party. I got up in front of a crowd of strangers and confessed my feelings for a special somone. Even though i knew that she wasn't there. I later would lose this poem only to find it months later and finish it. I combined a lot of musical elements into this one because we both have a strong love of music. She may read this with very little understanding who i am or how i feel, but it's here for the world to see. ]
