Tidal Heart
Hakeem Jenkins Jan 2015
Within the limits of words I will attempt to express my emotions,
Though there are no words that can reach the extension of my love,
But i am conflicted about her as one is conflicted with one's identity,
Completely aware of my love today, but oblivious to the days to come,
I will not call this a poem,
Simply a photograph capturing the time her heart beats,
I cannot become what i am not,
I can only become what i will be,
Unaware of it myself,
As it may be that every night the moon rises and falls consistently as the tide does,
I will still be consistently inconsistent with the rise and fall of my ever so seemingly tidal heart,

when the time comes...
Hakeem Jenkins Jan 2015
When the time comes...
I want a large festival named after Mark Twain,
I want the streets to be cloaked in color,
I want peopleto ride in on horseback lightsaber in hand,
I want the wind to be whispering the best puns the world has to offer to the trees,
So that trees can laugh, giggle, snicker, and chortle with fluffy forest friends,
I want music of every kind playing across the living mountains and through the clouds and rain I envy,
I want it to rain so hard that persons of all shapes and sizes are forced to take off their heavy drenched clothes and just dance in their underwear, playing with glow-in-the-dark footballs with Lionel,
I want absolutely no lights,
I want the ugliest girl in the world to appear to be the most beautiful under the sun of the night,
I want everyone to come only by bicycle, skateboard, foot and any other non-mechanical way,
Not for the earth but because i don't like the sound smell of look,
But most of all...
I want to leave a legacy,
Not a huge one, just big enough to live forever...
In the back of one's mind,

Natural Connection
Hakeem Jenkins Jun 2014
The hills roll over and over creating dimples within the earth where tears flow down to my heart,
the mountains are just an excuse for a blanket,
I draw my heart from the trees,
timid under the circumstances,
We trade hearts and you walk away,
your heart now hid away among the trees,
my heart hopefully hidden away from danger,
until we meet again

I Wonder
Hakeem Jenkins Jun 2014
dinosaurs roamed the earth once,
nearly a million years of life for them,
I wonder if humans can last that long,
or are we just a insufficient species just occupying the world until God can make a better,
more advanced species that can save it

Cassandra
Hakeem Jenkins Jun 2014
Often I think of you,
maybe too much at times,
but you are a love I have never experienced,
even though I have never experienced love,
your snow white skin creates a vibrancy for your fragile blue eyes,
it always seems like you believe in me, even when I lack belief in myself,
your words are my wings when my day has hit rock bottom,
You have two years on me but I always feel like we were born to be,
or maybe we were all born to believe that love belongs to us,
and maybe that is my reason for thriving...You, but am I allowed to love you?
Love,
it bobbles in my hands when I try to use it,
it makes me wonder how can I love without knowing what love is or having anything to compare to it,
For the longest I believed that love was a feeling something you showed toward someone,
but maybe I'm mistaken,
maybe it's what I'm feeling now,
Weightless,
yet heavy with love to give away,
please,
just tell me it's hopeless now...Cassandra,
I'm never sure about anything

Living in The Gray Area
Hakeem Jenkins Jun 2014
They say darkness represents evil,
but I use the darkness to stay humble, and hide from my enemies,
The lime light is the true evil,
you change before your own eyes,
good becomes evil and evil becomes maleficent,
So what hero saves you from the Good?
