Straight Brooklyn
aBeautifulStory May 2019
Strong, outspoken --
never any *******.
Tough, overprotective --
full of charm and wit.

Honest and real --
without any judgement.
With you I feel --
at peace in the moment.

Revolution, Culture, Hip Hop
"just a simple man" within.
Past, present, future -- never stop
being Straight Brooklyn.

Talk Down To Me
aBeautifulStory May 2019
Only when you are standing above me ...
watching my brain work ...
can you talk down to me.

The control you once had over me --
capable of moving mountains if you asked;
went to hell when you began to talk down to me.

The Bronx lives within me.
"Y por mi madre"
I'll never let anyone talk down to me!

Perdida
aBeautifulStory Jun 2019
Otra noche acostumbrada a esta soledad. Una mezcla de miedo y curiosidad...

Otra noche acostumbrada y ahora que me hace falta tu mirada mas quiero quedarme callada...

Las luces apagadas, sigo enredada en mi cama,
Mis almohadas llenas de mis lágrimas y mis libros llenos de palabras...

No encuentro mi felicidad.

Please
aBeautifulStory Jun 2019
My fragile body, your broken heart.
We found each other, seemingly worlds apart.
There's some intimidation, but I power through.
If it means there's a chance to be ruled by you.

While time and circumstance have done have done us rotten...
...your kiss and touch won't be forgotten.

Dominating, yet careful.
Liberating, I'm grateful.

Looking at up at you, I feel your strength.
Embracing and tasting you, I feel no angst.
The overwhelming urge to please a simple man,
In all sense of intimacy I seek to understand...

This feeling you provide when you stare into my eyes; you pull me closer to you and I can't help to fantasize...

Our naked bodies, together, one --
No inhibitions, just truth -- climaxing with the rise of the sun.

All of Me
aBeautifulStory Jun 2019
I gave you all of me…
… and you rejected me.

I kissed you with meaning.
Enhanced your fantasies.
I catered to your needs.

I sat by and let you live
let you have something to miss
yet we still come back to this.

In bed at night I cry
I worked too hard this time
to prove to you, you’re mine.

Your heart is too **** tough.
I’m definitely not good enough.
I gave you all my love, and in *** you repaid – rough.

I’ve learned now not to give.
You give to be deceived.
I am foolish to have believed
that the one who’d steal your heart would be me.

Verano Veritas
aBeautifulStory Jun 2019
Summer fun;
blazing sun;
Screaming children --
No thanks, ***.

Closed blinds;
high minds;
Peace and quiet
MY time.

Dry heat;
mosquitoes;
***** beach
and mojitos.

I prefer
Gin and Tonics,
Hello Poetry
and tons of chronic.

Summer bummin'
Fine with me --
Avoid discomfort
& be happy!

Amor Imposible
aBeautifulStory Jun 2019
Sad eyes.
Beautiful brown skin, pretty dark hair, a smile that shines.

But I cant love you.

You look at me, hopeful, clinging on.
I turn away,
I cant love you.

You kiss me.
I kiss him.
He kisses her.

A never ending pattern of chasing those who dont want you.

"Shes begging me and asking me why it's over..."
The song plays truthfully as I break your heart again.

I kiss you goodbye.
I cant love you.

Borderline
aBeautifulStory Jun 2019
****** me. Use me. Confuse me.
Deceive me. Leave me. Believe me.

This life of mine is all but appealing.
I can't stop time, "can't stop this feeling."

The tone never changes, it ranges
from sad to saddest, it's contagious.

Fall prey to my kiss but you missed!
(The point, love).
You failed to witness
this broken excuse for a Ms.

M O T I V A T I O N
aBeautifulStory Aug 2019
Distraction, procrastination --
-- too busy swiping, looking for attention.
Longing for love and passionate affection --
-- instead being met with dishonest intention.

So now I write my attestation --
-- to rid myself of this crippling infestation.
The one that fills me with naive idealization --
-- loving myself is my affirmation.

Confidence
aBeautifulStory Aug 2019
Where does it all go?
The confidence that briefly existed within me disappears at the blink of an eye.
All the compliments thrown my way fly right past me.
I cant catch them; I dont want them! I dont believe them.
I see what I see & unfortunately it's not what you see
because, well,
you dont know me.
You see what you want to see --
the superficiality;
the sexuality;
not the tragedy
not the guilt
or all of the pain that exists inside me.
If only I could take all of your idealizations of me
& turn them into reality.
Then maybe the confidence would never leave me.

Clarity
aBeautifulStory Oct 2020
Trying to maintain sanity
Struggling to find clarity
Diving into the unknown
To sit beside you on your throne
Finding comfort in the peace you bring
Silencing chaotic sounds within
I fear my mind is not alright
It's filled with impending doom and fright
I want to be the best for you
Yet be the best for myself too
I love the fact that you are mine
And hate that I am borderline

Blue
aBeautifulStory Dec 2020
Mind racing
Heart pacing
Did I do something wrong?

The silences and pauses
Are my least favorite songs

Rationalize, empathize
Think outside the box
Slowly start to realize
overcome negative thoughts

Easier said than done
When the signs are misconstrued
I don't know what I've become
Or if I'm losing you

imaginary
craving you
craving lust
your arms around me while you ******
confusing it with love and trust
craving you
craving deep
passionate daydreaming, sleep
thoughts of a man ive yet to meet
tears fill up my eyes, water in my sheets
craving who
no one is here
alone forever, my biggest fear
afraid of who ive come to be
ashamed
recluse
anxieties

close your eyes and pretend you love me
that you value no one else above me
that i am more than my past
that your love for me will always last
is what i say
to you in my dreams
you who do not exist
you who do not know me

— The End —
