My Dangerously In Love Re-make

The first week of the semester has come & gone & so far I seem to be learning the most in my creative writing class. But that's no surprise because that's the class I'm most interested in. My professor is so passionate about the art form of writing & I love that. I write for pleasure & as a sort of therapy, but I can tell that I'm going to walk away from this class with so much more knowledge about my craft & a deeper appreciation for it. Our first homework assignment was to take our favorite song & from the first two verses, take away all of the words except for the last word of the line & create a poem based off of the last word of those lines. My favorite song of all time is Beyonce's "Dangerously In Love", so that was my song of choice. This isn't my best work, but I just wanted to share with you what I came up with...

Beyonce Dangerously In Love

Baby I love you,
You are my life,
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side,
You're my relation,
Connection to the sun,
With you next to me there's no darkness I can't overcome,
You are my raindrops, I am a seed,
With you & GOD who's my sunlight I'll bloom & grow so beautifully,
Baby I'm so proud, proud to be your girl,
You make the confusion go all away from this cold & mixed up world.

& I know you love me,
Love me for who I am,
'Cause years before I became who I am baby you were my man,
I know it ain't easy,
Easy loving me,
But I appreciate the love & dedication from you to me,
& later on in my destiny,
I see myself having your child,
I see myself being your wife & I see my whole future in your eyes,
The thought of all my love for you sometimes makes me wanna cry,
I realize all my blessings, I'm grateful to have you by my side.


Marquise's Dangerously In Love Re-make

I'm declaring it... I love you,
& with you is where I want to spend the rest of my life,
For eternity, that's how long I'll remain by your side,
With no one else, could I ever have any type of relation,
You're my sunshine, there's no need for the sun,
These emotions I feel are one's that I will never overcome,
One day we'll create the perfect seed,
That will grow & bloom like a flower so beautifully,
Our little boy or maybe even a girl,
That we'll nuture & raise to be able to conquer the world.

Lucky me,
You love me & accept me as I am,
You're a real man,
I know it hasn't always been easy,
But you've been here for me,
Continuing to love & support me,
Because we both know that this is destiny,
You're my prince charming, the one a girl dreams about when she's a child,
I fall in love everytime I look into your eyes,
The thought of it makes me want to cry,
I love you & I want to reassure you that I'll continue to be by your side.
