To The Moon
I will love you for your smile.
I will love you for your laugh.
I will love you for your smell.
I will love you, this I’ll tell.

I will love you for your jokes.
I will love you for your weirdness.
I will love you for your stubbornness.
I will love you, god as my witness.

I will love you for your kisses.
I will love you for your cuddles.
I will love you for your punches.
I will love you, while I eat my lunches.

I will love you for your talents.
I will love you for your mistakes.
I will love you for your life.
I will love you, you are my wife.

The truth to the matter is very clear.
I love you to the moon my dear.

Embrace The Journey
We all have this vision of our lives,
With dreams hopes and aspirations
We think we know what we want and need
But somewhere along the journey
We find something worth so much more.
For me it was my wife.

She came into my life so quickly
And changed me to the core
My work and interests were replaced
My selfish dreams became no more
Slowly but sure our lives changed together
Our love evolved as did our needs

I still have goals and dreams in mind
That I chase less than before.
On this path that I take
I learned something more
No matter what road you are on,
You never know what it’s truly for.

Embrace the journey and the pain
What you want and need in life
Will never be the same
I never expected to be where I am today. to have a family and a wife that I love so much. A wife that loves me, understands me, and is willing to walk with me through the rough and good times. I was focused on being an entrepreneur and making money and never thought I would be a father and husband at the age of 22. I did not chase this dream but it chased me. I gained so much more on my journey than my end goal. I am truly blessed.

I love you Babe.

Out Loud
They asked for my input.
So I told them what I thought.
Little did they know,
Their opinion it was not.

I get advice from my peers
As the silence fills the room.
The air just disappears
As if my words spelled doom.
Working in an environment where people whisper their ideas too afraid of contradicting the "Important" Bosses. I am speaking freely of my opinion and the people around me tell me not to say that out loud. I do not cherry coat anything for you just because of your title. If I disagree I will let you know. I speak out loud and not in a whisper.

Ticking Away
My life is draining away
The clock is ticking to say
Why do I live this way?
Our time is running out. Live life.

Corporate Prison
We all strive to live the way we vision
We follow the crowds and make the same decision
Unaware of the path we follow
We fall into the corporate prison
We follow the norm and end up working 9-5 everyday. This was not what I visioned.

Just another day.
My Days are occupied by meaningless tasks.
Staring at this blank computer screen,
I slowly develop these lifeless masks.
Living in small cubes of office walls.
I find my escape in the bathroom stalls.
This life that we call work.
Has caught us in reality’s pitfalls.
How did we end up here?
Born with dreams of growing up,
We lost our souls right there.
There are only seven days in a week.
Five days spent wasting our lives away.
Two days spent resting like the weak,
Just to keep working for this ****** pay.
There so much more for me to do.
There is so much I need to say…
But tomorrow is just another work day.

The Underdog
Moments like this aren't hard to find.
Wooden floors beneath my feet,
Screaming fans glued to the seat,

Everyone looks at me with a grin.
Pay it no mind for they will see.
First three minutes I'll score ten.

I hear the voices in the crowd.
Just keeping playing with out a word.
The court is the sky, I am the bird.

The game approaches the end.
They surround me by four.
So I shoot one more.
As a white short kid, people always underestimate me on the court.

The Time to Say
We cannot let time deceive us all.
If I so happened to die today.
This poem is all I’d need to say.
If I were to die before we spoke,
These words would be written in the smoke.
Say goodbye to all the tears and regrets.
Door closed, we don’t need the pain.
Time away just feels the same.
Without you, might as well be insane.
My thoughts of you haunt my brain.
Memories with you have begun to stain.
And my world will never be the same.

I should have spoke
I lay awake with hopeless thoughts of you.
It seems that somewhere down this path,
I lost the smile and the laughter too.
Where did our passion flea?
How could something done with ease,
Just disappear like a winter breeze?

Staring at this canvas of my soul,
my thoughts start to fade away.
Deep into my lost subconscious,
I hope to find the words to say.
Farther down the hole i tumble,
until I land on that rainy day.

The storm was screaming with it’s tears.
The wind was blowing in every direction.
Soaked to the bone your makeup smears,
Unmasked by the storm inside,
I noticed the angel doomed to hide.

I was lost and forgotten in a crowd of faces.
Nothing worth your praised attention.
Yet you picked on me day to day.
You colored my arms in every shade.
The words you wrote I wished to say.

I love Clarice
I love Clarice
Everywhere you wrote.
I love Clarice
Is what I should have spoke.
To the love of my life, Clarice

Where am I from?
I am from the cramped house down the street
From loud arguments that always repeat
I am from that hot summer day
From buckets of ***** covered in Old Bay
I am from bed time stories
From Harry Pottter to the west side stories
I am from looking for mars
From fires under the stars
I am from trips to Myrtle Beach
From chasing the Ice cream truck out of reach
I am from the basketball court
From taking blankets and building a fort
I am from sarcastic remarks
From ski trips at winter parks
I am from home made sweet tea
From “mom Dereks hitting me!”
I am from Saturday Cartoons
From blue party balloons
I am from gameboy color
From never sharing with each other
I am from “Hey, that’s mine!”
From “Boys, please don’t wine”
I am from church every Sunday
From school every Monday
I am from Home
Yes, I am from Home

The Morning After
Last night started out fun
But ended in disaster
We smiled in the sun
But lost our evening laughter
I am sorry we are boring
I am sorry for it all
I feel as if I am trapped
As if I hit a Wall
But regardless of what has happened
The fact remains the same
I will find our evening laughter
So that once again
We can enjoy the morning after

My Life In 300 Words
Where do I start
How should i begin,
I guess i will just write
until the very end,
I could start with my name
and where i am from,
Yes, I will start with that
and then more will come,
My name is Dylan
and I was born in North Carolina,
I am nineteen years old
but I feel even older,
I look much younger or so I am told
My days are long and filled with joy
I have a daughter
No, not a boy
I work, go to school, and am a father
I own my own business
As God as my witness
I have a beautiful companion
who is full of life
She is my joy
No, not a boy
My two girls are my life
one is my daughter
The other my future wife
My Passion is Business
My title is Entrepreneur
I love what i do
Which is more than most
If you love your work
Than you too can boast
My business is a brand
Perception Apparel is the name
I create unique Clothes
And nothing is quite the same
Check me out,
The website is the name!
Among my hobbies sports are fairly high
Basketball is my favorite
Still not sure why
Other interests  may include:
Food, movies, and long walks on the beach
This is begining to sound like a date
I can't think of anything else to say
My life in 300 words
It is sort of sad in a way
My life in one paragraph
Yet i have nothing left to say?
Well It seems I have begun to rant
I hope now you may know me
There is not much to see
For this is all there is to me
In essence of time
let's bring this to a close
And if you are lost, this was my Prose.
Assignment for my class where we were asked to introduce ourselves.

Never To Be Lost
Compared to you
The world is dull
The sun doesn’t shine
And the moon is never full
Compared to you
Music has no sound
Food has little taste
And gems need not be found
You are a precious memory
That I can never forget
You are a unique thought
That for years my brain has sought
You can consider us each a soul
That wanders the world in search
Of the person who will make us whole
Who will fill the emptiness deep inside
And when we finally meet
Our souls entwine to each other
Like the thunder and the lighting
We will always be together
Just as life never escapes death
Or how time never misplaces its sand
I can never lose you
Because we go hand and hand
So be not afraid of losing me
That fear is just unreal
Stare into my eyes and see
Our love is but surreal
Oct 2010 · 796
The New Me
My heart is full of love
But my mind is full of pain
My dream’s to rise above
But my fears are all the same
In this world of confusion
We fall into this state
We get lost in the illusion
Where are words cut deep
To the point that we break
And our hearts begin to weep
As our love becomes too weak
I apologize for it all
For every fight I cause
From not taking your call
To putting feelings on pause
I take all the blame
And with it, the shame
The old me would shout and scream
Fought first
Until he blew his steam
The new me will show respect
Listen to your words
Take them and reflect
This old me is the past
The new me is now
And now is here to last

Rough times
These feelings I have are more than true
My hand begins to cramp in pain
As I describe my love for you
Our life is more than rough
Our days are long
And our nights are way too tough
No sleep or time alone
Our stress builds up
And our anger is clearly shown
But what never fails is our love
Somehow through all the pain
We find strength and rise above
With one kiss all is good
Our problems dissolve
Like we wished they would
As I hold your hand at night
My heart begins to flutter
As our love takes flight
Our life escapes the clutter

Together Among the Stars
If nothing but silence
Would quench this awful thirst
Then I’d be doomed to starve
Because silence is the worst
It’s your voice I need to survive
So whisper in my ear
So that I again can feel alive
Let your touch transform my emotions
Until my face is no longer pale
And with your lips against mine
Let our fates intertwine
And our lives become as one
As we drift aimlessly in summer nights
Like stars in the open sky
We’re only dots when alone
But when together
We have became a constellation
That shines with beauty among the sky
That gives those watchful eyes
Dreams to wonder by
As they gaze into their own lover’s eyes

My light in the dark
As I sit in the dark
I begin to miss you touch
I begin to miss that voice of yours
And it becomes just too much
So I take out those letters
The ones written with your heart
And it brings me back to life
Reminding me life is just the start
So whisper in my ears
That sweet voice of yours
Will drive away my dreadful tears
And bring the color back to my face
As your touch drives away the fears
My heart beat slows steadily
Until your lips kiss mine
And I float away into the atmosphere
My heart begins to race
Hoping u will always be here
To always drive away my fear
I grab your hand and hold on tight
To never let go of my light

Nightmare
Utter confusion
Plain distraught
Mainly delusion
Just as I thought
It’s only a dream
I need to wake
Because this pain
I just can’t take
Like I hit a vain
My heart is bleeding
It is pleading
Why does my pain keep feeding?
Nothing stops the torture
Why does this start
But never ever end
Like it found my heart
And began to rip it apart
Never to ever subside
No matter how hard I tried
Lost hope and finally died…

Feelings of Death
Close your eyes
And lose all worries
Take in a breath
And stray from death
Exhale with ease
Dismiss all fears
And yield those dreadful tears
It is time for you to see
The way life was meant to be
A life free from horrid cries
Free from anger and frustration
A life full of color and imagination
A life where dreams and reality intertwine
Where suffering is all but known
Unlike now where only pain is shown
Wake into a life of your own
With this said, it is time
Take your breath and let it out
Take your eyes and open wide
And escape this feeling that you have died

Searching
I have one thing on my mind
To find that special person
Who is one of a kind
Someone not easy to find,
I'm looking for beauty beyond compare
That will always have them stare
and everyone would see
that we were meant to be,
Like Romeo and Juliet
We will never be apart
We would be two with one heart
And that would only be the start

Hidden Feelings
At first we were strangers in a crowd
We knew nothing of the future
Yet we felt so proud,
We had no idea what lay ahead
But continued without hesitation
Walking in each and every direction
I never confessed how i felt
Was to afraid of what you'd say
So instead we stayed just friends
I never showed my true emotions
Nor confessed my devotions
But instead hid my thoughts
That lay compressed in my dreams
And till this day I struggle with what's true
That all my love belongs to you
Feb 2010 · 644
Hope
We can’t lose our sight
Even though times are rough
We must find our strength to fight,
Hope is still alive in me
So look into my eyes and see
That I’m here to stay
And I will never stray,
No matter where the road will lead
I will always be there to follow
Because you are everything I need
And without you, my life seems hollow
But our hope will keep us together
And our love will be forever
So grab my hand and hold it tight
Look straight and step into the light
Don’t look back, hold on to me
And together we will always be

First kiss
She smiled
I laughed
She kissed
I missed
She laughed
I smiled

Family
Family is always strange
Always unique and deranged
Somewhat weird and out of place
Somehow loving in the face
Always different than another
But always similar to each other
Families will always very
Some are funny beyond belief
Others are mean and way too scary
Many are dull and pedantic
Some are strong and courageous
A lot of families are quite fine
Then some families cross the line
Can you guess which is mine?
My family is all but normal
Filled with stories for the books
Filled with secrets like some crooks
My family is stranger to even see
But that’s ok
My family is meant just for me

Something Special (2008)
There something on my mind
I'm gonna come out and say it
Theres never been a girl i could find
That makes me feel this way
All i want is for you to stay
For you to never go away
But you act like i don't see
The way you always look at me
But now its time for this to end
So that something special can begin
Instead of hiding our true thoughts
Lets work together and connect the dots
And once we describe how we feel
With a kiss lets seal the deal

Anger (2007)
Anger brings nothing but destruction
But what she did can't be forgiven
She disrespected me in the worst
Didn't think, just acted first
And now anger consumes me
If i had acted without thinking
And let the Anger control me
More than pride would have been hurt
But that's what separates me from her
I turned my back and walked away
And nothing more to her i have to say
My life continues with many satisfactions
But she lost me because of stupid actions
- From Heartache
In the past 9 months a lot has changed
No longer a boy but now a dad
I step to the plate ready to swing
No regrets no need to be sad
Focus on now not what I had
With you and Emily all is good
Life is perfect just as it should
I love my boo
More than most would
I love my daughter more than I could
My life is falling in place
So I look to the sky with a happy face
I thank god for his blessings
And pray for a good future
I do best that I can
I try my all to be mature
I do my best for my boo
And she does everything too
Life is funny in many ways
It comes without notice
It comes with much a surprise
But in all I am happy
I am glad and pleased with life
Happy and content with my wife
Have barley any pain or strife
So i stray from the worries
And abide in the joy
I focus on my wife and daughter
And will never falter
Will always be strong
Will always be brave
Will bare the hardest crave
And stay true to myself
For I have many roads ahead
And with much to be said
My life is my message
So come close and listen well
And take note of the story I shall tell

Hope
We can’t lose our sight

And I will never stray,
No matter where the road will lead
I will always be there to follow
Because you are everything I need
And without you, my life seems hollow
But our hope will keep us together
And our love will be forever
So grab my hand and hold it tight
Look straight and step into the light
Don’t look back, hold on to me
And together we will always be

My Love For You
My love for you is indescribable
As I try to write how I feel
My words are twisted but understandable,
So many things I have to say
But where to start I do not know…
I guess I’ll speak from the heart
And let this be the very start,
My love for you is only true
Think of you is all I do..
I dream of a life of just you and me
A life full of wonder and beauty
Away from this world’s horrid cruelty,
I dream of life with no regrets
Where our love will never fade
Where the sun only sets
And the moon gives only shade
I dream of you happy and content
And of me with only love to vent,
I will love you more than life itself
I’ll never scream, shout or pout
Just to show how I feel
That our love is only real
I will vow to you my heart’s content
And to all the girls I will more than hint
My love is yours for the keeping
Even through the times of pain
My love for you remains the same
My love for you is more than bliss..
My love for you is more than this..
My love for you is all I’d miss…
So be with me all my life
Take my hand and be my wife.

Be my Queen
Let me start off with an I love you
Because that’s what this is all about
Your love is so deep I want to shout
I want to scream and rid all of the doubt
You are my all
Without you I’m doomed to fall
Doomed to never truly be happy
Doomed to feel always this ******
Because you are my light
The strength to my fight
The wings to my flight
You are the my meaning for life
My friend, my love, and my wife
So please boo take a breath
Take it all in and let it out
Go ahead its fine to just pout
Its okay baby please just vent
Let’s just talk and explain what we meant
How we need one another
How we love each other
And how we want to be together forever
I know times are rough
So very very rough
But baby it will all be just fine
You can trust me baby I had a sign
I had a dream
A dream to good to seem
We lived together and all was good
Just like a fantasy, just like it should
It was as if I saw the future
And there we were so perfectly happy
Like a love story so very sappy
So please boo let me ease the pain
Let me lift the weight on those shoulders
Let me help you my beautiful soldier
Let me take you away
Away from pain and misery
Let me be you prince and show you my chivalry
I give you my word my love
I’ll always be here to give a shove
And together we will make it above
No obstacle will slow us down
No pain will make us frown
Because to you my princess I offer the crown
I take the solemn oath
I take your hand in marriage
Together we will ride that carriage
Cause I promise to make you my queen
That is what I truly mean.

— The End —
