I’ve always loved to write. Writing to me is one of the best ways to express yourself, and to be able to do that in front of a group of people who agree is a wonderful feeling. In this section we will highlight Poetry and Short Stories.
Our New Feature Poet is young, beautiful, and talented. After her performance at Bare Soul people are demanding more from this Phenomenal Woman that is…….. Myriha.
Below is her latest poem entitled “XBOX” giving video game addiction a whole new perspective.
I wanted to write you
a love poem that would make you smile.
compare our love to
budding pink roses in May
and call it beautiful.
but the only thing that comes to mind
when i think of this relationship
is Xbox.
You see,
I’m you Xbox 360
you aint never had one these.
you’ve never had so much fun
or stayed up so late,
nevermind the early day
you have tomorrow
that wont end until late,
because you still cant wait to get back to me.
Your hands hold my parts so perfectly.
But like I said,
you’ve never had an Xbox.
You’re still new to this game
so you’re constantly pushing the
wrong random buttons
just to see what will happen.
You keep tapping
X.. A.. B.. Y.. left.. B
tryin to create combos that’s
sure to mess with train of thought.
You keep tapping
X..Y..B..A..analog..Y..analog..Y..analog…
Why in the world do you keep
pushing the wrong random buttons?!?
If you were playing Street Fighter
then you might get lucky and do some
flying scissors,
kick the head off your opponent,
death defying move.
But other times
you make me want to walk away
from this relationship.
But i just have to remind myself
you’ve never had an Xbox.
You’ve only had Gameboys.
You know,
small and compact relationships,
only really good for one thing,
but entertainment goes further than that.
I am your Xbox here to satisfy your
mental, emotional, and your physical.
I dont wanna just give you Nintendoe love
I wanna give you your moneys worth.
Accept my word as insurance.
My reassurance should leave you doubtless
about us
because i don’t wanna leave you tired
from this like the Wii.
Because WE shouldn’t have to work
this hard for what WE have.
In a true committment there is no
“I” in WE.
But the WII’s that you’ve had
manage to squeeze an “I” in there
and make it about them.
I’m the 360 turn around in yo life.
You’ve had Playstation 2′s
that wanted to play 2 stations
and Game Cubes that tried to convince
you that the world wasn’t round.
So their life didn’t revolve around yours,
but my happiness orbits your smile.
Baby I am yo Xbox.
So love me,
hold me,
cherish me,
hell dont be afraid to talk to me,
but please
stop pushing
my buttons.
