Looking down at the ground, the scenery is so serene
Can you believe that were so far up, feels like I can touch the clouds
In the sky, why is it that life couldn’t be like this
A ride in the sky, this day that I’ll will miss.
Reminisce on all the good things in the past
Moments that you’ll never forget
Your first bike ride, your first date, and even your first kiss
Growing up I never knew that you’ll turn out to be like this
So graceful, your intellect astonishes any man with just
The simple peck of your lips, the fluency in your speech
Is so sweet, wedding bells started to ring.
Now as we sit down and ponder, and wonder on how we feel.
I ask you this simple question,
Will you take this ride with me?

The art of a woman

God made the perfect creation when he made women
So elegant, charming with their smiles
With the compassion and the ability to love
Even when they frown.
Adam and Eve, two seeds birthed by the hands of God
That started this all, Eve bared the forbidden bear fruit in which she knew
Was wrong, she asked Adam to take part, because she didn’t want to be alone.
Two people made to be together till death do they part
This, is the art… of a woman

When men are alone all we think about is women, why is that?
For a fact, we need and want the subjective progression, in which
Our fathers grew to love.
Why is it that men and women wear cologne and perfume?
We all hope to mate, to find somebody to fill that empty space
In our hearts.
God gave us humans the curse and blessing to love,
Someone other than ourselves

Why is it that women wear tight and fitting clothes?
To show off what Mother Nature blessed her, which is her curves.
She knows that you’re looking and wishing you could have her, but you can’t.
It’s just a tease in order to see if you talk and respect her for lady that she is.
Women are smarter than you think; they make us believe that everything is okay.
They’re strong, goal driven, and sometimes confusing at the most
Some have gorgeous eyes, some have tempting thighs, but we must not lose sight
Of whom they are
Were your protector, you’re our provider to bare a son or a daughter.

You deserve the utmost respect and love, to be treated like queens like you should.
Miss Cleopatra, rubies, diamonds, and gold
Those secrets you have in which were never told.
Behold the art, the astonishing gift God gave us to take care of.
The art, of women something so precious and so gentle.
Made for us men to think and use our mental, fabric of our minds
To straighten up our spines, to be kind and non-judgmental

In order for us to make this work, we must have faith in each other
To believe, and achieve the art of trust.
No luck, no spell, love... the emotion, the gift, so spiritual so bliss
We all want this; this is the art of a woman.

The Hour Glass Theory

Tick tock, Tick Tock
Time is running up, you got to hurry up.
The train is passing, look you missed it
Now you ****** up, but don’t give up.
See, this hour glass theory might seem funny but, it’s true.
Wasting time, procrastinating is not for you.
Don’t follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you
Because you’re special, every time you pick up that
Pencil, you’re creative. Let your mind wander to a deserted island getting
Your land legs, eating honey doo.
Don’t you see that your life has a meaning, a purpose unlike some of your friends do.
But I can’t blame you, all you want is happiness and you want somebody to give it to you.
But in reality it’s harder than you think; you’re raised to believe that with a kind heart anything
Can be achieved but, you was lied to.
Women these days don’t want men that can give them the world yet, a city.
They want you to be strong, yet at the same time crawl on your knees, beg with pity.
Isn’t that so stuck up, so sidity?
My melody, your harmony, our love together shouldn’t be based off society and what other people think.
It should be cherished, earned with time and patience
This tranquility this temperance is something they can’t comprehend.
But I don’t blame them,
People envy other peoples happiness
From all that work that the couple did to establish something
There’s always someone trying to tear down your nest.
So, tell me what’s next, where do we go from here?
I love you love me
Why are you so blind, why can’t you see that,
I was meant for you and you are meant for me.
No need to waste time
Because we don’t want to be part of this
Hour Glass theory

Secluded

Conspiracy and lies
While you remain to cry
I was the one whipping away the tears
At the same time the other man is *******.
Aint this something, you complain you can’t find anybody
Real
*******, *******, *******
Is what ill remain to say
Maybe one day, well be friends and forget this happened
And let life take it away
Naw, I doubt it... you’ll still be that ***
Going from man to man
Like a beggar does for food
Holding out his little pan
But, when will you realize the beauty and astonishment you possess
I’ll be too late, I’ll be gone
Moved on like you should
Thinking I wish I would
You wish you what?! Take back everything wishing you
Never ******,
Me over for some lame *** Ni*
Ahhh yeah, you feel bad
A little sad huh?
Well I don’t give a ****
Stuck to realize what you had in front of ya
Well I wish you the best, success for you is all I wanted
You’ll never realized how much you hurt me
So im telling you in my poetry
Because in real life you didn’t want to talk to me.
Remember
“Are you done yet?”
Yeah Im done, but remember, think back that I was the
Only one
That gave a **** of how you felt
And I thought you were the ONE

Life is Crazy...

Life is crazy when you like someone and they don’t feel the same.
You spend all this time and energy proving to them that you’re not the same,
As the other people they messed with in the past.
It’s so sad; to expect something so great, end up with nothing. Feeling so empty, guilty
That you took a chance with someone who’s not worthy
Of being with you.
You, the one who started this all, from that first moment when that tear started to fall.
You claimed you were sorry and you can do better next time, but you ran out of chances.
Time is up, and she gave up, on you and those summer romances.
When you find someone who is ready, who has their life together, and who is steady
Then, you will truly be happy

Until then, think back to all the people you been with, are you in any fault.
You claim it was their wrong doing, and they were the ones *******,
Buying items that were never bought, to you in your procession, the progression
Of your relationship started to fall. Did you give up, or did you end up forgiving them
Of all their wrong doings.
See not all of us are saints, we all strive for happiness even when were shooting
Blanks, no I mean into an empty barrel of love.
You know, the one that cupid missed to go along with all your love and happiness.
Sometimes being by your self is so bliss, calm, so serene like it doesn’t exist.
But, every once and awhile you feel that your miss-ing out on something
Or someone
Life is crazy, but we must not get lazy, nor give up.
Your knight and shining armor; your dream girl is just
Outside knocking on the door.
Open it, a be ready for what’s in store
Goodluck

Floating Away...

As the tears roll down from my cheeks, all I can ask is why.
Her purple dress, her vivid yet dull cheeks soon to be beneath my feet,
All I can do is cry.
Why would God do this so someone so full of life
So happy, proud to say she was a child of God.
But, maybe this was her time.
Her time to shine, to a new destination and make another person smile.
I whip away the tears from my eyes and smile, for I have to let go.. And let her fly
Float away to the far sun, Mars, and... Even the sky
You have to understand how much it hurts me to let you go.
But, I have to be strong enough for both of us and show
That I love you and I’ll do anything to make you smile.
Forever do us part, we’ll meet again, but this time I’ll be on gold brick road.
And angel wings to show, that were immortal.
But for now I’m going to have to let you
Float away…

If creativity didn't exist...

Imagine a world without a creative thought.
Rubies, Diamonds, and Gold
Values that were never sought,
It caught your attention but you
Couldn’t be at amaze,
Amazed at the fact of something so beautiful
Astonishing, lost in a maze.
You twist and turn
Left and right
You’re stuck and in a nutshell
You wish you could describe it, but you fail to Upheld
The creativity, the essence, the beauty
God, I wish you could see
The marble, the bronze,
Whew… It’s so sweet
I feel I can taste it.
Its sugar, cinnamon, spice
Nothing nice, but I want it
Flaunt it, tease a little… Who’s it gonna hurt?
Tenacity, Generosity,
Who ought to be?
The one to harness something
Special
It’s a jewel, stolen from us at the beginning
Human nature bought it here, well get it back
You’ll see, because we are nothing without
CREATIVITY
