jimmy-desire - Hello Poetry

An ode to you Lovely Whoever you might be for being that someone to consistently revitalize my energy I’m charged up over the thought of you standing beside me reminding me to smile when I’m no longer motivated to with all the pressures and expectations of the world I couldn’t be happier to be lost in every moment we share Indeed, the warmth of our embrace lingers on the expressions of our faces well, at least it does on mine I mean sometimes I just smile, in the hopes that you’ll smirk right back at me as if I’m checking that there isn’t a thing you need that I can get to you quickly have you noticed? My fingers often speak for me when my lips don’t have the time to explain lightly tracing the fabric that conceals your stomach as if to reassure you, “I’ll be right here, just call on my name.” hoping when our eyes meet again you can see it’s you I’ve been seeking peeking over in your direction from time to time just to admire your radiance baby the strength of your presence is pleasantly overwhelming even now I lose sleep over how the thought of you seeps into my mind you deserve every rhyme I intend to cherish every moment of our time because of all the people and all the places I can’t help but wonder what luck I must have to be able to have crossed paths with someone so special, such a beautiful soul I just hope that you know how genuinely happy you make me. thank you for trusting me thank you for loving me thank you for being so light hearted and carefree thank you for showing me, that I wasn’t foolish to have believed in you I’m simply happy I never withdrew and subdued the internal tactician that usually plans too far in advance killing the romance All I want to do is reciprocate the feeling and keep you safe thank you for reigniting my faith. It’s so indescribable, what you do to me.

An Ode To You

An ode to you Lovely Whoever you might be for being that someone to consistently revitalize my energy I’m charged up over the thought of you standing beside me reminding me to smile when I’m no longer motivated to with all the pressures and expectations of the world I couldn’t be happier to be lost in every moment we share Indeed, the warmth of our embrace lingers on the expressions of our faces well, at least it does on mine I mean sometimes I just smile, in the hopes that you’ll smirk right back at me as if I’m checking that there isn’t a thing you need that I can get to you quickly have you noticed?

For you, Young Queen … "Thank you for your sincerity and love I write this thinking it sounds like something I could say to my future daughter I’ve got a list of women in mind whenever I think of experiences I’ll pull from in the future for her Looks like you’ve become one of them Thank you for being the muse and allowing me to be a part of your life." … Gifted, in the way saviors grant miracles. Although they are often tested, they have always been critical. Invested in not only their lives but the futures of others as well. Like a gardener, they carefully planted these seeds in the hopes that one day they’d be able to grow and bask in the light. These seeds were sown so that they might breathe life and their gifted, tender hands provided the nourishment that helped you blossom into the flower you are today A Rose Sun-Kissed her only wish? That the sun may shine longer on these painful days when we forget the majesty of her rays Gleaming hope onto those who might need the light today Little does she know, her heart is something special like a prism able to reflect those rays that she’s collected and share a little light with others. Radiant outside and in I just pray that she loves her skin although the world may try to convince her otherwise. I hope that when she looks in the mirror she admires her little features, just as much as the ones that others may compliment From the curls of her hair to the shape of her nose, the glimmer of her brown eyes, to her cute little cheeks. I hope she sees how special she is As much as she loves to give her heart to others I hope she remembers to keep just a little more of it to herself because just as the weather can be severe and harsh on our crops this world can be not only harmful but dangerous to us and although that is the case I hope she never forgets that we are built for this. like the rose from the concrete we exist as a reminder that anything is possible and to never doubt our resilience or ability. In the end, I hope that you look back at this and remember to believe in yourself because I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I. Life is crazy In the sense that we can find love over and over In the sense that we lose life in a matter of seconds We arguing about money we don’t really need While others are suffering from a lack of accessibility My teacher taught me with enough detail you can recreate the sensation of when you first sink into an apple and it’s juices burst from within. Beautiful and sweet, Sometimes when they’re so ripe you can feel it tingle in your cheeks. Chunks of delicious fruit being minced by my teeth. Just like back in the day, sitting in class in front of fresh apple slices and a side of peanut butter. It was so simple then, but now we all feel a little weighed down by the pressure from life’s various complications. Responsibilities passed down from our parents meant intentionally or not. Dangers of our environment, brothers and sisters losing their ability to hold their mothers. Worry some how much my children might see when I’m gone. rainbows and sunshine some things from my childhood that still enlightens me. A rarity and reminder that the sun will shine again tomorrow. Let me borrow your light when I’m lost in my dark spaces. Tracing my fingertips against the rough rocky walls, looking for a way out, looking for signs of life. A slight glimmer. Look there in the distance how it glimmers. Bring me back when I’ve lost my way. Illuminate my eyes as if I’m being graced by the dawns first light. My friends seem to guide me the same, on days I hadn’t even realized I had been locked within my own temple too long, scheming on the outcome of this trial. Back and forth, pacing in haste as I worry in a perpetual way, where the hell I belong in a world like this? II. Look me in my eyes. Heavily brown Welling up Deep blue swimming pools. I get lost in and forget how to swim Head under water Suffocating over thoughts of you. I give too much to you. All this love for you. Unrequited Or maybe just misunderstood Her eyes just like mine But darkened with time Very rare that she smiles Delicate calloused hands Long days and longer nights Working for everybody but the girl in the mirror I know it may look like there’s no end in sight But when you focus on you and only you There’s no doubt in my mind you’ll find the joy you lost Scary thing, When money becomes the most important And everything else is out of focus. Just going thru the motions. Wishing you could turn back the hands of time. III. It’s harder to believe in love once you grow up Our perspectives change drastically depending upon what it is that we see. Not many people have what we used to call “traditional” families And yet end up having the most compassionate and caring of hearts. I’ve always put so much into others, My mother taught me that, It’s scary to think how a like we are at times. She also taught me that you must care for yourself Because no one has the obligation to care for you. Just love those who love you Because they are a rare treasure. Metaphorically tethered to each other’s hearts Look how easily people become important parts of each other’s lives Sadly we can just as easily watch as they fade Life is complicated, we all come and go with the seasons The same way we may meet a soul that may make an impact for whatever reason Pick your encounters, and learn from them Always strive to be a better you And want to understand and love yourself better too Because if you don’t who will? I tell you for a fact that’s real! It takes a “real one” to understand how I feel But I’ve stopped looking, I’m just living and having fun Just looking forward to more days like this basking in the sun and writing stories in the moonlight Occasionally taking my pencil as my pilot Just to test the heights of how far my imagination could reach Hot on my trail, follow me into infinity I want you to see in clarity everything I can see In the hopes I can relay this message perfectly Give it your all No shame if you fall How can you stand tall? If you don’t answer the call.

To whom it may concern: thank you for your influence, grateful to be your pupil for your insight shed new light as to how to perceive the world. As history carries along, I'll reference back through the lessons and pass them forward when it's needed. You've succeeded in making a genuine connection, I can only imagine your mentor did the same for you. A metaphorical web you've spun to intrigue the mind. Enriching mine. Struggling to break free of the concept because I couldn't yet understand it. Thank you for taking your time. Taught me to deconstruct the process and check my work then repeat. Better safe than sorry, talking bout I grew up on this show, how'd I end up on stage with Maury? Best friends one day, the next you're strangers, nothing last forever is a phrase that's powerful in every language. C'est la vie. That's life, C'est la vie! Sometimes you'll find strife or something you don't like and be forced to embrace it. Heart racing, you're nervous but you've got to face it. Please believe, Once you live it, you'll learn from it. Practice takes patience, a lesson learned now I own it. At times you may see something you like and got to go chase it. Have the confidence to take it, anything you scheme up is feasible, believe it. Anything you set your mind to, you can achieve it, as long as you work for it. Just a few lessons from precious teachers, whether they were licensed to do so or not, thank you for your influence. A Humble Student

I have this love for writing on this thing. no mess on it just flow as the director intended so another production of Desire Enterprises lacking the basic exercises but what’s a better time than now because as I’m sure I’ve said before “Practice takes patience and patience takes practice” no hesitation brother you’ve just got to attack it so once again let me introduce myself to this sweet sweet addiction. Usually barricaded by the walls of my mind see lately I’ve been learning to evade them been taught to look beyond them four walls for what I believe may contain my train of thought so I’ll reach new horizons I’ve learned the many ramifications of living within my comfort zone and know nothing of the boundaries outside it like standing up on stage and presenting my craft no strength in my foundation like I’m about to collapse freaking out remembering Rigley’s reminder to get a grip even when you feel like you’re about to slip, take a breath Speak each word carefully, Make ‘em feel each one you spit Lord willing I’ll do just that, shoveling up little nuggets of gold I’ve got people thinking, well **** the little brother’s got soul I’m like nah, I’ve just been breaking the mold back in the day they used to clown me for acting “real different” black kid in a primarily white school, it could’ve been real different but couldn’t help feeling out of place now a days, I take it all at a steady place growing up is a process man, felt like I was lagging behind, but there is so much more left to see I mean look at all the places, people, twists and turns we encounter life is such a blessing, how the hell could I not enjoy it? **** that, better believe I’m gonna embrace all that I is. Be You, Be You, Be You man that’s all you’ve gotta do. Another amazing star amongst the many, shining bright in our universe. Shine with me, we can only get better. Don’t you ever falter, make your presence felt. Make the best of the cards that you’re dealt. because before you know it, you’ve reached the end of a verse. Page, Chapter, Story or whatever you prefer… The end may **** sometimes but it opens up opportunities for new beginnings That was sudden but it made you think didn’t it? I live for this connection. because if I kept you reading, I intrigued you. it seems you can be reached, it seems I just like to breach into the temples of the mind like old lectures from old teachers about how we wasting precious time or how the future round the corner and its time to shape up stop pushing snooze on the button homeboy its time to wake up yeah, it be nostalgic on those hazy days once and a while its okay to have them lazy days but never stunt the progression of your growth reminder of the sacrifices made to keep you safe continue to share these these “little nuggets” that you make and let the world relate.

… Life is funny in all honesty Human interactions always astonished me, the simple capability of being able to allow individuals to share each other’s thoughts is amazing. Our very image can be viewed differently by a matter of words. You can feel the most endearing warmth from simple contact alone, in many cases, only if it’s the right one. In others’ cases, it could be the touch of anyone that reminds you, you are not alone. I swear I’m in my zone, writing is a constant love I just can’t leave her alone So many love letters trapped within my phone. Lay it all over your skin, each letter a kin to the grand production Thank you for your patience, because it’s given life to works of art that I could not have foreseen before but now I embrace it. My heart races whenever my body remembers the sensation. I mean contemplate it, my pen bleeds to breathe life into a new creation. Alleviation of the troubled mind, trying to adopt and grow with time and this forever evolving world I have to let my faith grab the reigns and overpower any fear that will breed doubts into my mind. Positivity my only energy, even when I’m low, I throw myself into bodies of work like this to get high. Don’t ask me why, but often I look at the sky and believe that even I can surpass the limits.

It’s hard to need something you been wasting time is everlasting but how much you got left? worried about when my loved ones will expire in fear I didn’t show then enough love and appreciation chasing females like they’ve got all the answers but I know I need the “right one” keep my mind as sharp as the edge of the blade keep me straight to the path of greatness truth be told though, I’ve got to stop looking for the answers in others draw my own pocket aces be my own secret weapon like baby, maybe you missing something. (HA) need to be an example to the ones coming up possibly why I’ve been so quiet lately, got old friends inquiring on my whereabouts always had been the socialite, last few years I’ve been more like a hermit off on an island like I’m Roshi! had to stay low-key, too much on the mind drifting in crystal clear waters reflecting the distant clouds bathing in the sun, meditating on all I’ve seen of all that exists in the world all creatures above and underneath me find a way to live harmoniously, the circle of life filled with beauty and strife this little rock holds glorious wonders and pain often unbearable mothers across the world mourning over lost sons and daughters whether it be the color of skin or which god you place your faith in. Our diversity should be the last thing destroying our global society. Just playing my part as I see fit, A piece of mind, longing for a peace of mind. All the while, worrying I’m wasting my precious time. Lost in a trance, weathering the storm of thoughts that rages on viciously. Each strike of thunder ignites the flow of spilled ink shaping itself onto this canvas. When the rain stops, I gaze upon the results. © James Desire 2015

Another day, another scribble on the page of life why not make it extraordinary? Leave your mark like you were leaving ink splats all over the canvas magnificent arrays of colors contrast and intervene within the scene. Resulting in a more vibrant display of life. Strife exists each and everyday and beauty has always coexisted beside it It's resisted so much longer than us and we bask in its radiance much more often than we realize so through all the pain of life's crucible remember, to be as daring as you were the day before if not more so, make an impact. Shine brightly, so that everyone can see. It's just one of the things that makes this life worth it. What you worth really? I mean only you can tell me, because the only thing that can limit you is yourself anything you set your mind to can be achieved you just need to believe, and then back that up with the work talk is cheap, unless you give it the support it needs. make your words an extension of yourself, as if they were arms and legs that can help lift another up whenever you happened to let them roll off your tongue. I used to have dreams I'd light up stages, now I just want to light up the diminished flames in your hearts that you hold dear. If not today, maybe tomorrow I can convince you each day is a new day to craft a better you. Take a look in the mirror, reflect in who it is you've become and what you've get left to do. So much strife in this life, so much beauty too.

"Oh, I've finally got you right here Tonight I'll ease your mind, That's why I'm calling on you and ooh, soft your love's desire it's hard to stay away you keep me calling on you" I could walk upon these words again and again maybe that flew over your heads, that was the bridge my friends and after all this time he probably thought he was dead and forgotten but listen here that "ooh" of a crooner that simply learned it from you resuscitated a gem from the archive just to prove that your song made an impact. Not just the sample but the words themselves live on in a tribute to you and I was just one of those kids who loved those songs about love you know because I'd imagine I'm the one singing to her like: "baby you, my darling only if you knew these things that you do when your simply smiling for me but even more you bring illumination to my days when the skies aren't the right hue of blue like the blessing of the sun's rays after it's rained a few days you, always seem to pick up my mood, and I can do nothing but thank you and show you how much you mean to me". Just a few lines to describe a groove a song to hold her tight and slow dance to maybe a light a fire, just romance boo because when the chorus comes around I'll be all up in your ear like, "Oh, I've finally got you right here Tonight I'll ease your mind, That's why I'm calling on you and ooh,soft your love's desire it's hard to stay away you keep me calling on you" ~Just Another Reason To Adore The Art~ [Inspired by the music of Jon B.'s: "Calling On You" and Drake's: "Cameras/Good Ones Go Interlude"] Written By: James Desire

An Old School Groove

What A Life I do the things I shouldn't do to say I did and have "gained a lesson" from it when in reality I'm just trying to prove that what's usually the "right way" is not always for everybody foolish child you look for a glimpse of chance where countless fools before you had as well I just thought that maybe I, with all that I've said and proclaimed about love, with my ideals and my upbringing to the melodies of R&B; that helped ease me into sleep and induce dreams in which I would finally find the courage to have my voice heard, serenading to lost queens about their substantial worth and beauty... man I just thought that I could've had it different but don't we all... well if anything its a constant reminder that the world can be cruel but theres a lot you'll see thats breathtakingly beautiful like hearing another brother of ours has been slain by none other than his own kin funny isn't it? that as the most advanced lifeforms (that we know of anyway) that we hinder ourselves more than anything with all the potential dangers that could arise from day to day we on top of that are a danger to ourselves and others not all of us of course but enough that its publicized and causes riots in the streets and with good reason too. I'm more impressed by the passion presented by the ones on their feet fighting and making a stand about something they know is wrong exactly the kind of action we need more of it simply saddens me because I believed we were past all the racism and just when you start to question the direction of the path we all seem to be taking you are blessed with a moment of pure gratitude and someone who works at Starbucks is willing to pay for your drink, even when you have the money to pay she simply said, “you’re a nice guy and I probably wasn’t going to use this free drink anyway” hugs and a tip for the girl who only wanted to make my day a little better and it’s something we don’t have enough of people who are genuinely nice like honestly what does it cost you? I like to look at myself from afar in this grand scheme called life and sometimes lose the importance of my existence making too much of a big deal of what’s to come wanting not to miss out on it all… Just tell me I can win this thing and leave my loved ones with memories of my laugh, my smile and words because they are what I am made of product of my environment, I am clearly blessed.
