Untitled

She combs and braids my hair,
And I braid my lips and tongue with hers.
She sends me sweet goodnight texts and
I keep her awake for the moon and stars.

4:30am

At 4:30 am
I wake up excited to see
The sun rise.
More so excited to be
Enveloped in your starlight
When you do arise
With a warm "good morning".
Your beautiful visage bright
As my delight that you're mine.
As surely as East faces Dawn
Will I forever revel in the mornings
Because you're next to me.
Mind, body, and soul
Connected to me.
Opening my eyes to all the beauty
Within you,
Within me
Within the world
Til I look forward to your sunrise
At 4:30
a.m

Patient II

Dear love,
I ask that you be patient.
I've just now realized
I'm holding on to fragments
Of a past before the lessons
That I learned from you
Straightened my worldview
Setting everything in my vision
To pink.
The passion runs deep
So that the thought of being
With you is a constant.
And yet, I'm still learning
To let go of the fragments.
Rewiring my mind takes
Quite a bit of practice.
However I can promise
That the end result will be
Well worth your patience.

Double vision

All I see is double vision.
Tears in her eyes, anger in mine
From my wrong decision.
How do I **** up a good thing
And set out to fix it?
I've got no answers to my thousand
Thoughts and thousand questions.
I've got no solutions,
So my thinking is there's
No remission.
Dear God up in heaven.
I did what I did to deserve this.
But look down at your servant with
Grace,
Show me the light at the end of this
Dark place
Cause there ain't no satiate
Where I'm at.
Had a good thing,
A good woman from my dreams
And I've undone that.
I'd give my life to have her back.
And I mean every word
When I say that...
Let your will be done
Even if it is this
Situation.
God.
I don't know how
To keep going.
Cue the insomnia
Dead heart, dead mind
And depression.
She brought me a better life.
And I know it's in the past
But that one time...
I
.
.
.
Know I did wrong and this has
Got to be payback.
Truth comes to light
Tho I didn't hide,
And now it's like a flashback.
Never again and I swear that.
Never again will I do that.
God. Never have I ever prayed this hard.
You gave me the other half to my heart.
And I want to asked this in Jesus name
Please don't take her away.

Love Poem

I write poetry
Cause I've never been
Good at photography
And I want to create
The same vivid imagery
In your mind
With the words I write.
Though written for all to see,
I write deliberately with
Secret words the meanings
of which I hide just for you and I
To warm your heart,
Rekindle and stoke the fire
Because when I'm away
And my lips and fingertips,
Words, and goofiness,
Can't keep you warm,
I feel a great and growing
Longing for your presence.
That's why even now
I write this love poem.

Real Thing.

Ain't nothing like the
real thing
Baby.
Nothing like your voice,
Your visage, body,
Nor touch.
No fantasy worth having,
No dream worth sleeping,
No woman worth the flirting.
Only time worth waiting
Til you're back in my arms,
Only distance worth traveling
Because I'll run near or far
To hold you again,
Kiss you again,
Make Love again,
Pray together again,
Whisper once more,
Set butterflies and bubbles loose
Deep down in your core.
Ain't nothing that can
match the feeling
Of the real thing
Between you and me
Baby.

Through the Night.

Your hot lips
Grace my cool skin
Like morning dew
On blades of grass.

Just as your fingertips
Caress like rays of sunlight
Caress the horizon
During sun-set & rise.

And your deep brown eyes
Staring deep into mine
Light a fire in me that defies
The cold that grows
When you're not by my side.

And musician that
I am,
I create the vibrations
That you dance with me to
through the night.
