I  think of you in the morning
before the sun rises,
when in the still of the darkness
my heart feels your presence.
Your love, your tenderness,
your slow rhythmic breathing as you sleep,
and I am at peace.

I think of you when the first rays of sunlight
spill like a waterfall between the blinds
and settle in my eyes.
I reach my hand, my foot, any body part will do,
to touch you and breathe you in.
It feeds my heart, my soul, my spirit,
and I am at peace.

I think of you at noon when the sun is at its highest,
when the heat warms my skin
and causes my eyes to close with sheer pleasure.
Thoughts of you surround me, envelop me, overpower me.
Images of you swirl around like a funnel cloud,
******* into its grasp all that it touches,
and I am at peace.

I think of you when the sun is setting
and its final rays of light begin to fade.
I can hear your voice, deep, soft, and slow in my head--
words of beauty, joy, friendship, and everlasting love.
My heart begins to sing a love song so sweet and so gentle.
I cannot wait to share my day with you and yours with me.
And I am at peace.

I think of you when the sun has set and the stillness of the moon
is displaying one of its many wondrous phases.
Thoughts of your smile, your laugh, and your eyes
create a feeling that is impossible to express with just words.
The need to touch you, to feel you, to drink you in
is almost too much to hold inside.
Anticipation of you is the greatest gift.
I am at peace

Your body glistens in the light
I urge to play with you all night
I pick you up and hold you steady
Take a deep breath, we both are ready.

I run one hand up your long neck
Just touching you makes me euphoric
Across your body, my right hand goes
I've been practicing, believe me, it shows.
Another deep breath, the tension mounts
Have to stay focused, every moment counts
I am ready lets get movin'
Here it goes, we both start groovin'.

I start out slow to get in the swing
As I do you start to sing
The sounds and feelings grow more immense


You screams and screams, while I am gropin'
My heart stops as I see the door open
My mom walks in and with a frown
Says, Your guitar is too loud, please turn it down.

Can I lay
This burden
down
Who’s gonna
Take it up
For me
I’m a river
I keep running on
I’m a pillar
You’re used to
Leaning on
Just this once
Can I lay this
Burden down
Can you
take up for me
When you run
me in the ground
That’s the day
you’re gonna see
all I’ve done
I’m alone
Just for a moment
Could I not be strong
Wish I knew how
to lay this
burden down

When you look
deep into my eyes
whisper in my ear
you are forever mine
hold me close in
your warm embrace
lay a soft passionate
kiss upon my face
sing me to sleep
every night
wake me with a
smile glowing bright
I feel protected
when I am with you
you said you love me,
my love for you only grew
you are my sunshine
when it rains
only with you does
it feel like the real thing
walks on the beach,
trips to the park
in my heart you
always make a spark
every day I wear
the necklace you gave me
because of you
I will never be the same
your eyes,
your smile,
I can't resist
ever since I found you
I know love does exist..

We finally
got settled
And things
to do
Then it got
******
Hitting the
spots
That I
also do
She love’s
when
we wrestle
Secrets in
my respite
In my bed;
secrets
We don’t
speak
Stay left
unsaid
Let’s talk
about
Love

You this gorgeous lady
What a pretty face
and beautiful smile
Very classy
and sassy
Along with a
sophisticated style
Taking everything
one step at a time
You is bound to have
even more brighter days
So just smile

Sometimes I wonder
how I feel about you,
Scared of these feelings
because it's still new
I catch myself thinking
of the best way to share,
Hoping you'll return
my confession
showing you care
And then I catch myself again...
and drag my thoughts
back to reality
I am back at square one,
does this just happen to me?
Poems are so stupid
I swear I would never do this
But this is YOU,
and you aren't
like anyone I have met
How much longer
do I have to write,
can I tell you yet?
When I come back
from my thoughts I feel more secure
But then I sleep...
and the dreams of you occur
The dreams I have
of you are so vivid and clear
I feel TRUE happiness
inside and that there
is nothing to fear
People say dreams
have underlying meanings
and not to ignore them
I say we both know
what they mean
and now I want you to hear
Hear what I am
about to say to you,
feel it with my body,
see it in my face
Hear it in my words
and tone when we converse
I love you!
I love you more than
I ever thought I could
Be with me always
and be loved like you should

I hope you read and understand
I really need answers .
how does it feel to say
u love a girl while you don't ?
how does it feel to
promise that u will
never leave her
while u know you've already
planned to say goodbye ??
do u enjoy seeing
her sadly posts?
or you think she is just bored?
how do you feel
when she inbox u and you
don't respond
u just jump her message? don't you think
she is probably
expecting u to answer?
would u enjoy it
if it was happening to u?
how could you be so cruel
so careless?  Love isn't a joke
its something that
cheers up a soul.!
do you know that
when she listens to music
every line reminds her
of you promised
to never leave her
to never hurt her
to take good care of her
to love her
she made u her first priority
she was proud of you.

Let me take
your hand in
mine and be your safe haven ...
take you places
you have never
been a new found love creating.
with maturity comes
great wisdom never
wont you behind
but always beside me .
let me love to love
you on this carefree
journey let me  
give without taking...
let me be what you need .
completing all of you...
why we embark
on this forever
unfolding eternity.

When I first met you,
I felt like I had known you forever,
telling you my secrets
and what I didn't want ever.
You listened to me.
I bet you thought I'd never end.
Who would have thought
we would become more than just friends?
Over a period of time
I got to know the real you.
A girl , so caring and gentle,
with a heart so true.
You've survived your life
with hurt and loneliness by your side.
I told you I'd never leave
because of the feelings I have inside.
I know you
like no one I have ever known,
and sometimes I wonder
what I'd do if you were gone?
So I have decided
time answers all.
If it is meant to be,
time will remove the wall.
I love the way we are together.
You can always make me smile.
Will it ever really be forever?
I guess I will have to wait a while.
Time will reveal what lies ahead,
but always remember
what I have said.
Meeting you has changed my life,
and I really love you so.
The feelings I feel for you,
I am never letting go.
Remember me always
and I will, too.
I always think of
me and you.

They showed you they
were a player
before they
cheated
They showed you
how hard it was
to tell the truth
before they became a
liar
They showed you
how Good they were
with their words
before they became
a maniuplator
They called you a *****
before they became
an abuser
They showed interest
in your friends
before they slept
with them
They showed you
they weren't ****
before they
reminded you
ever day

I want to be your favorite hello,
And I want to be your hardest goodbye.
I want to be the one who never makes you cry,
The one who puts that sparkle in your eye.

I want to be the one you trust,
And I want to be the one you can tell all your secrets to.
I want to be the one always by your side,
The one you're stuck to like glue.

I want to be the one who makes you happy,
And I want to be the one who makes you smile.
I want to be the one waiting for you as you're walking down the aisle,
The one to whom you'd say, "For you I'd walk a thousand miles."

I want to be the one you truly love,
And I want to be the one who fills your heart.
I want to be the one who's always there to hold you in the dark,
The one who loved you from the very start.

I hope
you fall in love
with someone
who never stops
choosing you
and I hope you
feel at home
when you look
at them..

M - Mindful
O - Optimistic
T - Trustworthy
H - House holders
E - Effective
R - Respected

All I wanted
was to be
at peace with you,
But if I have
to settle for
a piece of you,
Then I have to say,
peace to you.

When you love,
you get hurt.
When you
get hurt,
you hate.
When you hate,
you try to forget.
When you
try to forget,
you start missing.
And when you
start missing,
you'll eventually
fall in love again.

While there
are guys
In here
who looked
At a guy
like you
all they
Saw was
the color of
his
Skin
There are people
out there
Who look at
me and all they
See is the
color of my
uniform
So you would expect
to know how a
black man feel;
but they don’t
because they get to
take there uniform off

In my possession
Is something that does nothing
To spark a threat,
But in the eyes of those
Who propose prejudice
And negligence against
The natural color of elegance
Shows why we as a people
Become more arrogant.
To think that we are ignorant
Yet we can read the disbelief
Of how humanity doesn't accept our culture,
Blue vultures taking the life
Out of what was suppose to be dead
As chivalry overcomes
The troubles we once fled.

I'm standing on the edge
My toes hanging off the side
The wind blows sweetly
Rustling my hair
And relaxing me
Causing me to lean towards the void
All around me
I hear your  voice whispering
"You're beautiful" and
"I'll always be there for you"
I close my eyes
And I can feel your hand in mine
And your arms wrapped around me
Then my head is filled with memories
Of your lips
Pressed against mine
In the softest manner
And then
I'm
Falling
I've fallen in love with you
And it's the most exuberant feeling
The air rushes around me
And makes me lightheaded
It's like I'm flying
And nothing can stop me
All I hear is your voice
Telling me I'm the only one for you
Then...
Then you come along
You mend my brokenness
And help me to my feet
And before I know it
I'm on top of the building again
And yet again
The wind blows
Trying to push me off the edge
But this time
I brace myself
I don't want to fall
And get hurt
I try to back away from the edge
But something stops me
I hear your voice
Calling to me from below
"I will never break your heart
I swear"
Slowly
I move towards the side of the building
I picture the times we've talked for hours
The times you've held me when I cried
The times you stuck by my side
When no one else would
"I'll never hurt you like the others did"
You whisper this in my ear
As I drift off to sleep one night
I never remembered until now
Then
I
Fall
And yet again
The feeling is amazing
Only this time
It doesn't end with brokenness
Instead I land in your arms
And
In your heart

If I was your Valentine
I'd touch your heart not your body,
Let this love grow inside me
Then express it to you proudly.

If I was your Valentine...

I would steal your attention
While giving you happiness
And continue to show I care
For the days that come after this.

If I was your Valentine...

I'd have you smile at your fears
And recycle every tear
Since this lovely day
Would make a cloudy day clear.

If I was your Valentine...

I would simply make you mine
For as long as the sun shines
You'll forever have my time
Cause everyday would be today,

If I was your Valentine.

I love loving you.
I no longer
want to be  
in love with the wounded.
And I no longer
want to be your shield.
I have bathed
in these waters
for much too
long and now
I want to
submerge shed free

I never
got the chance
to experience
you remember
You treated
my heart
cold as
December
I still can’t
get your bitter
taste out my mouth
You made
me strive
to be greater
So I’m thanking you
For me not
feeling myself
by hooking up with you
Because of you
I stepped my game up
So the way
you treated
me cold as
December
My ego made
me remember.

Make her promises
without breaking them
Love her
without hurting her
Uplift her
without putting her down
Compliment her
without Degrading her
Claim her
without throwing
in her face you have options
Encourage her
without discouraging her
Spoil her
without neglecting
her emotionally
Build with her
without breaking her down
Become her fairytale
without being her night mare
Add to her life
without subtracting from it
Last but not least
be the person you
were in the
beginning
WITHOUT
CHANGING UP ON HER!!!

Without
you
I’m tossed
about
Lonely
can’t live
Without
tryin to
Find
my way

she isn't the easiest girl to love.
She has this bad habit
of overthinking,
she tends to overreact
more than she should
and
she gets a little insecure
every once in a while.
She'll be needy for your attention,
she'll want to literally
take up all of your time,
and she'll require
a lot of reassurance.
If anything,
she is everything
you wouldn't
want in a girlfriend.
She isn't capable
of fully trusting you,
she doesn't know
when to stop
fighting with you
even if she's wrong,
and she has no
problem pushing
you away
if she feels like you're
close to hurt her.
Loving her will
stress you out,
loving her will
make you angry,
loving her will
break your heart at times,
loving her will test you,
loving her will challenge you,
and loving her
will change you.
It may get so
demanding that you'll
be tempted to walk away,
it may get so hard
that you'll think
about giving up,
and it may get so
complicated that you won't
want to deal
with her anymore.
Loving her means
you get to see her
at her worst and most
vulnerable and that is
something that you'll
have be strong enough
to handle because
she needs someone
who's patient
enough to understand
why she is who she is today.
It's not gonna be
an easy relationship with her.
But if she is in love with you,
then she can promise
that you'll be loved
with such passion
and intensity that
you'll forget what life
felt like before she
came along because
she'll always be there
to put your heart
back together after
breaking it.
Maybe she's not the
best at being loved,
but she's pretty
amazing at loving.

Down-time
Spare-time
Part-time
Or sometime
If they can’t
be there
for you all
the time,
they’re not
even worth
your time...

In a new place
With the same face
But nothing
Is familiar to me
But there a strong rush
In the winds touch
And it bringing
Out the woman
In me I know
That you’re
Out there somewhere
Waiting on a deeper
Connection now I’m
Lookin to my left
Searchin on my right
Cause we could be
The greatest adventure
I’m ready come and find me
I’m not gonna hide, got the sun
On my side it’s heady
Cause I finally open
For the one

It's all so confusing.
my pain seems
to linger feeding your
amusement.
Everytime I try
to heal your heart
you just take mine
and use it.
I tried to pull you
into me to show
you we can do this.
But what's the point
of love if
only lust seems
to move it.
giving you all my body
with intent
to show and prove it
and all
you seem to think is  
Yeah shorty
let's me abuse it.
And now i've
taken all the
pieces of me...
with love I placed
them in you carefully.
and now with
nothing left of me.
you say it's
nothing there to be

sometimes id wonder why .
our seasonal
love song cry...
hearts intertwine
by something
so amazing
but yet we are
politcally imperfect
unforgiving eyes gazing.
gazing into our love ...
judging loving
hating contiplating souls .
but as time flies
by the deeper our love grows

With someone who
wants you,
Who waits
for you
who understands
you even in
the madness
someone who
helps you
and guides you
someone who
is your support
your hope
fall in love
with someone
who talks
to you after
a fight
fall in love
with someone who
misses you and
wants to be
with you
Don’t fall
in love only
with a face
or with the idea
of being in love

I want you
You want me
I don’t wanna
Do you wrong
Ima give you my all
And I’m always keep
It real just
Gotta tell me
How you feeling
If we ain’t got
No trust
Then I ain’t got
No feelings
You say you need my love
We ain’t got no limits
Said if we ain’t got trust
We ain’t really got nothing

As deep as
our love was,
my self love is deeper.
Yeah I want you,
but I don’t need you.
I wanted to take
care of your heart,
but I needed that
real from the start.
Let’s grow together
and have some kids,
a few dogs and
a nice *** crib I said.
I’m on hers
and hers type of ****,
**** Jordan’s
and lame ****.
I’m talking about stocks,
vacations and savings.
But you played instead

She
Told
Me my
truth
Laid the
Road for me
A rich woman
Destiny
She saw it
Without
Me
Run rivers dry
Right through
The ages prove
If it was another way
To do this I would've
Welcome it
They have no clue
I will not lose
All ships dock
All tides wane
Every beginning
Has an end

When I tell people
I have my time
In the Sun
Now I am the
Sun
Roll up
On me
And you
gonna blow
a feud
Don’t
roll up
On me unless
You leading
with love
Because I do
that everyday
I’m not perfect
I make mistakes
But I try to
lead with love
That enough

How to find my
soul to home
Where water
is not thirsty
and bread loaf
is not stone
I came up
with one thing,
and I don’t
believe
I’m wrong
That nobody,
but nobody,
can make
It out here alone

You are the one
I want to
water your flower.
I want
to make you bloom.
A soul
that’s mine to devour.
A poison I can consume .
The one I love
with all my might
The one
I’m thinking
of every night;
that helps
make things right
The one
I dream
of when I’m sleep at night
And the one
I think
of when I
hug my pillow at night
I’m not giving up
without putting up a fight
I’ve will always fight for us
I always will
I promise you are the one
Your my only one.

Many have
said no,
No
I don’t
choose the
Path of
wild and
Radical
And
Authentic
Love,
Even though
I know I’m
Dying without
It
I think I’ll
Just settle for
Good enough

For it was
in the madness
of the night with
the moon
guiding my thoughts
that I lay
here and pour
out my heart,
lay out my flaws,
while trying to express
to you the depths
of my feelings...
Even with me
reaching deep
letting my feeling
take the lead ..
I still don’t see
how u could ever
believe that loving
you wasn’t
good enough for me .
when time  
after after time..
i continued to
give u all me ....

Sit back and relax
Feel the waves wash over your back
In the melting sun
Looking at the clouds reflecting all the pinks and blues
Over the blooming hill, echoing white noise of chirps and crickets

Listen to the trickling of the slow water over the smooth rocks
Feel a warm wind brush your face
With your eyes closed
Enjoying the radiating warmth
And the soothing crackling of a log fire

Or sit and admire the shimmering spray
Of a waterfall smoothly crashing into the water of a sky kissed lake
Sunlight dancing through the splashes
Rainbows jumping through every droplet

Listen to the pitter patter of the rain, against a tin roof
Inside a warm cabin
Drifting to sleep
Soon to wake to the song birds chorus
And the blissful sun

I don’t
wanna make
An empty
promise
I ain’t
got time
To tell
you lies
I ain’t gonna
Pull you
Through the
darkness
But I can
show you
Where to
find a light

Pull up
Oh my God
She come
Up oh so fly
To the pearl
She all on me
So ****
She feeling on me
She know that
I'ma do with her
She don't want to
Party with her
Friends
She just want
To kick it with
Her gal..
The lifestyle
Talk to me nice now...

It was silly of me
to think we
could co exist
I remember
we were
once tight
like a bald fist
A bond so strong
Thought you
was so right
And Couldn’t
do me no wrong
That was then
But I know now
And to stop you
from hurting me
I now know how
I had to block
you from my heart
And keep you
out of my mind
And even if
I’m hurting severely
Inside
I gotta let you think
I’m doing just fine.

Many
have
said no,
No
I don’t
choose the
Path of
wild and
Radical
And
Authentic
Love,
Even though
I know I’m
Dying
without
It
I think I’ll
Just settle for
Good enough

I’m light
headed
Like a kite
baby
I’m might
maybe
get life
Baby
My light shady
My rice gravy
My nights daily
My life crazy

It’s her energy
that makes me
want to do more
Her smile
that gives me
happiness
Her boss mentality
that keeps me
motivated
Her love
that can’t
be compared
Finally;
for once I’m
100% sure

In the Time
Half- truths
told and entire lies
My conscience
echos thunder
In a time
when kingdoms
come,
joy is brief
and summers fun
Happiness
it’s race has run
Then pain stalks
in to plunder

Life is amazing
But at times
It gets crazy
Everywhere
Trouble follows me
Lately, life been crazy
Been a victim of trouble
I struggle from
Decisions I've made
Wanna get away
From everything I know
Start over & even change
My name
Every turn around
I lose someone
Close
I can't take no more
I just wanna
Run away
I just feel trouble
Follows me
Don't think I'm
Foolish but
Im not gonna let you
the victim
We all make bad decisions
But it's how
We get through
With time you will
Be fine
Got to believe
You will make
It .
Trouble follows me

I act like I don’t care
I pretend like I don’t even see you
But the truth is
I still think of us
I still think of how it all could be
I still care about why you
Don’t even notice me
And I still love you
I bet I alway will

Your heart only
get broken
where it don’t belong
we walk in
every situation
with our blinders on
leaving a piece of
ourself
hoping it feels
like home

Im a child of a man
And
Woman
But I’m not a child
Im a Woman
I’m a child of invention
But I’m not a child
I’m creative
I’m a child of God
But I’m not a child
I’m spiritual
Im a child of love
But I’m not a child
I am loving
I’m a child of a man
And
Woman
But..
I’m not a child
