"That doesn't make you nasty, baby! That makes me nasty baby! And clearly, I'm okay with that, and so are most poets which is the point. Know thyself." I love this guy.
He isn't bragging about being good at sex, rather being good with words. A mime is good at making invisible boxes, dentists are good with teeth, he is good with words. Just listen to the last couple lines about not being able to fathom eons and ions spun into words well enough to moan to the moon, then don't mess with a poet. The person moaning to the moon isn't moaning from sex, she/he is moaning from the spinning of words. But its up for your interpretation, not mine.
Haha, I've watched this video so many times, I remember seeing you guys the first time this happened, kinda funny to see these comments come back up. Nicely done, fellow poets.
My poet friend wrote "If grapes are your lips, and twine is your hair, then darling bathe me in wine and tie me down." Goddamn, I want to date that kid!!
type into youtube "Rives: Is 4am the new midnight?" and you'll find it for sure :) i did actually post up a link...but i forgot you cant post links up on here loll happy watching :)
@hardnphirm87 I LIKE that my words can spike your fever and you're eager to please. I WANT the chance to taunt you slowly then put your body at ease. I NEED to know you can handle being handled. And now, I'm picturing our bodies like words fitting perfectly together to make sentences like: So Good. Don't Stop. Body Rock. All Night. Right There. Great Meditation. More Copulation. Please Stay. We are poetry in motion, devotion pledged to the feeling of being on the edge of of reason
@pumpkindoddles Depends who you are, because us poets get picky , some like simile's , some like metaphors , and some like personification , and some prefer free verse ;)
no he is deaf, he talks about teaching children, but at the end he says "I was born as eaf as a starfish, and if I was born a man I would pray to god at the top of my fucking lungs and thank him for giving me voice." that's the last sentence. watch it all!
@hardnphirm87 Cool me with your kisses/ Love so filling I am full/ Want no carbs just the alcohol/ Want an untainted drunken state on your love like wine/ Sweet like honeysuckle/ My knees buckle/ under the weight of your stare/ Even your glare entices me/ Like spices we/ Mix to make everything taste better.
Hey, great job this sounds like it’s all based on Celestine Dessike's Words of Desire. And yes, that’s the material you need to have him resonating with erotic electricity at your will. Sounds like too much IK, but just for the basics it's worth go'ogling her ;)
The last 30 seconds of this poem is pure genius. Honestly, perfectly encapsulated genius.
"That doesn't make you nasty, baby! That makes me nasty baby! And clearly, I'm okay with that, and so are most poets which is the point. Know thyself." I love this guy.
Also, I saw his other poetry when he was talking about his deaf students. This dude rocks!
This guy is good with his words and he talks a lot with his hands I like that!
he is so charismatic and adorable
beautiful man...
"Moaning to the moon, the moon, I said the ever-loving moon so all the neighbors know it."
Every night, babe.

this Man is halirous so inlove
every one can have their own oppinion.....thats wat makes him amazing...the way he can play with your mind! =D
He's a teacher at a def high school, so it may be by default, but it helps make him more expressive and almost commands more focus on him.
"that doesnt make you nasty baby...that makes me nasty baby."... i love that line too. Rives is great. I betcha he's just as he says**wink**...
this is amazing
i love RIVES
i am not a port, i try.... but he is truly worthy of the title...
"And that doesn't make you nasty baby!...That make ME nasty baby! And clearly, im OK with that!" lol xD wow, you gotta love it.
Yeah, I got that idea. I'm just glad that he does it every time so all people can understand why he is doing it.
Took me a day but I found it again

Wow I love Rives. He is so edgy, and talented...and he makes me want to date a poet as well. GAH Rives is the sex.
You know it, you know it.
I thought russell simmons created it. or did he create it in conjunction with mos def?

@pumpkindoddles Depends who you are, because us poets get picky , some like simile's , some like metaphors , and some like personification , and some prefer free verse ;)
♥
It's part of the poem.
lol it be like... "oh baby this is as hot as the golden sun and as fire on burning flesh with a grl doing bondage"
This should be a Hallmark card
that doesnt make you nasty baby...........that makes me nasty baby.lol
hahaha that's awesome
love rives, just wondering, though, does he have a speech impediment? he said n-n-n-need, and do do do, just wondering, mean no insult.
sorry it is actually created by russell simmons it was a spin off of sorts of def comedy jam..mos def just hosts it...
"that doesnt make you dirty baaby"...."it makes me dirty" hahha
Lmfao, that's too funny. I'm a poet myself.
"Review the video tape" xD What a freak.
That does not make you nasty Babbbbby....that makes me nasty babbbbbby

where's my poet! lol... ♥
the man is not deaf - he does a poem about teaching deaf kids but he can hear
no he is deaf, he talks about teaching children, but at the end he says "I was born as eaf as a starfish, and if I was born a man I would pray to god at the top of my fucking lungs and thank him for giving me voice." that's the last sentence. watch it all!
That does not make you nasty, baby!
I love how hes deaf, 100%
hahaha yeah...something along the lines of that hehe :S
naah, i think it was produced by the head of def jam records - that's y it has Def in it
@hardnphirm87 Cool me with your kisses/ Love so filling I am full/ Want no carbs just the alcohol/ Want an untainted drunken state on your love like wine/ Sweet like honeysuckle/ My knees buckle/ under the weight of your stare/ Even your glare entices me/ Like spices we/ Mix to make everything taste better.
