Rives--"Gorgeous"

[mraehyde]

the sound is off a bit :(

[JittanyBronas1]

Does anyone at all know if this poem is published by rives himself?

[coreyisfame]

[CeeThePoet]

[JUANO510]

MAD GOOD

[cggaurav]

Is there a transcript?

[thefinnlord]

@cggaurav it's called "Word Document." :P Slam poets rarely have transcripts. It's even more rare than finding two copies of one poem on youtube. Once a poem gets taken down, it's gone. Gone. Or at least, a lot of them.

[TheKlutchnshift]

"...there is a gorgeous thesaurus somewhere, where the synonyms are suitable for framing. the homonyms all rhyme with uahh uhh, and the word clandestine doesnt even have a definition.."

i love rivesss!!!!!!

[livebettertoday26]

Love it!

And best description of what rives poetry does i've seen so far - eargasms!

[hagarenhanyou]

Definitely. I think I've put the word on a few of his videos. He's a fucking boss.

[lambie1985]

Rives is already gorgeous

[orsheborshe]

[motownkrazy]

[motownkrazy]

[pedog]

Can somebody send me the poem transcript. I LOVE it but I'm having trouble understanding a few words. Thank you!:)

[Laynaesbonita]

What word honey? I will be more than happy to help!

[rrmodlin]

making lyrical love! :O

[Laynaesbonita]

in this man I have found a new sexual fantasy

[doggoesbark]

What r u talking about?

[Laynaesbonita]

What am I talking about? Are you a woman? Must not be. No you are only 20 years old, so even if you are female you aren't a woman. He is Amazing! His words make him sexier than his "Gorgeous" face does. He gets me excited when he speaks. That is what I mean.

[Kazuma7389]

Because she's not as old as you she's not a woman? GO fuck yourself.

[Laynaesbonita]

and your inability to make a comment without cursing shows you are not even intelligent enough to understand what I meant.

[Laynaesbonita]

And with this one you continue to prove my point....childish.

[Kazuma7389]

Want me to be mature?

It's stupid of you to insult that person and tell her she must not be a woman because she doesn't agree with you about this guy.

What if you like pink? And I don't? Am I less of a person than you?

There ya go.

[Laynaesbonita]

OK gee! I didn't mean to insult anyone, not my intent. I love his poems, his delivery is amazing, he weaves his words like a tapestry. And when he speaks it is exciting, it tingles. SO I wave my white flag, or maybe a pink one.

[Kazuma7389]

Ok.

[RFblank]

Don't apologize.

[flowbiscuit]

"i'll eat dressing room mirrors for breakfast."

wow.

[razorxsex]

For those who said this makes no sence.

You must have no artistic talent.

If you want to understand it.

Take a look at a person you see as gorgeous while you listen to this.

You'll understand what he's talking about.

Anyways, Rives is simply brilliant can't get enough of him.

[NotEvsie]

I don't even have the words to tell you how in awe I am.

[RFblank]

Are you in awe?

[BCRoff]

He is gorgeous

[luvmyself94]

i was kinda lost in a few points but I got the overall message...good

[HOMEby3]

is it just me or did he make NO sense... at all

[boomdeay8]

I don't know, it always changes

[jeremym51]

really? wow i thought it was brilliant.

[ow200]

Listen to it again. Poetry isn't always a first time round thing.

[willshakeyou]

you reaaaaaaaaaally need to listen to this again, the second time i heard it, i got it in a completly different way! :D

[gurlstar15]

o it aint jus u i

think he makes NO sense AT ALL too..

[peabods87]

almost the entire thing is a metaphor, so listen closely, and multiple times, and you'll hopefully understand it

[Itshalffull]

The entire thing seemed pretty literal to me... but maybe you have keen insight that the rest of us don't have?

[burningsands667]

there's a lot of word play and such... perhaps that's what they meant ?

[peabods87]

I meant to post that on "Nickle" not gorgeous

[recheli]

oh Rives, you are gorgeous... and your poetry lights my world and gives me aspirations to write toward. :)

[burningsands667]

damn

[EhGirl]

Rives is awesome.

[reivilo]

but you are Gorgeous!

[reivilo]

sound?

[scootigger]

that was hot, had me out of my chair!

[dozer1189]

Wow...thank you for that.
