Trying to Define Love
Location
I love music and I analyze the world around us according to two genres: Hip-Hop and RnB
More specifically I define love in terms of their beat
What rhymes catch my attention and what rhythms prompt me to move out of my seat
I define love in terms of what lyricists have to say
Telling stories of fear to be vulnerable
Refusing to engage in those dangerous games
More importantluy the role of sex and how it's portrayed
The basis of love gets confused with sex which tricks our minds into believing that the physical is more important than the mental...the spiritual
And I never understood love to begin with
Maybe because I grew up amongst people who made love look like it hurts
Is love pain? No. That makes no sense
How can two people truly love each other while putting their sanity at expense
So I go back to music
I go back to poetry
I go back my one on one's with God
and try to push each and every fragment of my mind and define what exactly love is?
Is it sealed by sex or it something more or something less
I'll figure it out eventually
And for now I'll just keep listening to the beat
Searching for answerss in rhymes and rhythms
Through questioning friends with more experience in love than me
And searching for answers in rap and Hip-Hop and most of all RnB
