Things have been pretty good lately,
when I met you.

I remember when I first met you.
You extended your hand acknowledging each one of us.
There wasn't any sparks at all.
The day after I met you,
when someone mentioned your name,
I couldn't help but smile.

What is this? Why am I smiling?

And so, we meet again.

You gave us a high five,
and I couldn't even look at you in the eyes.
Everytime you made your way towards us,
I looked around pretending that your presence doesn't bother me.

But it does.

You used to approach us back then,
but not anymore.

It hurts.

A simple "hi."
Is more than enough.
I hope you notice my existence.
I mean our existence.

That's why when our eyes met,
I smiled at you like an idiot.
After that, I looked away.

I'm going to stop this feeling once and for all.


But, I'm glad I met you.
For you are a Man of God.
You have influenced me to know more about My God without you knowing it.

I'm going to get over you sooner or later,
I just wish that I could tell you.
When that happens,
I'll be able to move on happily.
I hope you'll be able to read this.

Excuse me, sir. Can you take our pic....* (phases out)

This what happens when you cross my mind
I get in my feelings, yeah
I start reminiscing, yeah
If this comes back around, ****t I want it to be different, yeah
Waiting on a sign,
Probably time, for a different prayer.
"Lord please save her for me, do this one favor for me."
I had to change my same ole ways
Things got complicated for me.
Hope she's waiting for me.
Which ever way she goes - I'll make sure to write this song
That's why I'm saying the things, that I say, this way
That way, I know you can't ignore me.
But - oh, oh
Yeah
just give a little of you in exchange for me...
Just need a little of you in exchange for me.

For me...Break it down -
Yeah, like this - check it


We use to lay up - sip relax, share some laughs and talk life
Running my fingers through ya hair until you'd fall asleep at night
Drop a movie line - let me try to guess it
so many fun events
Every moment was a blessing
jokes for days - you were always messing.
Remember eating at our favorite spots
holding hands in the park
I could look at that smile forever
still remember that being my favorite part.
Yeah
But behind every pic- I knew in your mind you had questions.
Should've listened to the details when you spoke
Should've paid more attention.
Learned to be a little more quite - just let her finish her sentence.
Wouldn't of hurt to ask what you liked
let go of some those fights
instead of always wanting to talk about it..
just live and enjoy those nights
Crazy how losing someone can make you see all your wrongs from your rights.
But our chemistry was fire and love oh so real
Give me at least one wish and I would go back and do right on those ordeals.

You think - ****...what could I have done?
While it's true opposites do attract
Doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.
Gotta learn to swallow ya pride - chase it down with a cup of acceptance
You can lower yourself and be bitter or look at someone for all their blessings
Followed up by a confession
I took for granted all that I had
I let my emotions overtake my motives
I let my pride get real bad.
What's an early text or one mid day? When I clearly was on my phone.
What's the reason for complexity? When it was simplicity and fun that you condoned.
Why didn't I ask more questions? Maybe I was afraid of the truth
Why didn't I just do the right things? If so, id probably still have you.

Another man will hold her hand
A different face in her pics
Of course you wonder why it ain't you
But just remember, you were part of the cause of this
Feelings change like the weather
Over time both of us will be better
I just knew I had to write you one last time
Express a few things in this letter.

Vividly remember every moment
Some things you wish you could've changed.
Sadly, nothing stays the same.
Disappointment leaves both people in pain.
No use in reminiscing on the past
If you truly love someone with full respect
You let them go and hope they find happiness on their new path.
Appreciate all they did...and look at the growth you've gain - that will forever last.
Change is inevitable - but it can't take away the memories - the love and your impact.
You can either grow from an experience or falter and never learn and see what someone truly did for you. I'll always be appreciative of that. I get it now.  I am going to change and learn from this but too much love happened to just be friends but know ill always ""*******"' love ya. I will always remember that night, Ill always be there if you need. This is the final piece. With love and respect. miss ya. dougie

Grateful for the fact that all of you support me,
Never did I ever believe I'd hit 120
But I'm at it now, so thanks to all for encouraging this
When I see that number I wear a smile of best fit
Thank you all for supporting my work, I remember when I felt awesome for one view... it seems like just yesterday I was staring at my screen for the big 10 views. My first poem was called Fly Away, and my first entry into Hello Poetry was not a positive one that made me stand out, yet here I am. It warms my heart, it truly does... <3

I started to feel safe,
When I remember what the world taught me,
Simple lessons to catch meager drifts,
The simplest of emotions to see.
The caverns of poetry locked under my skin,
Spread like dust over a starry night canvas,
What have we made by falling in love,
With desperate breaths to understand the moon.
I pulled your breath under my tongue to taste your need for solitude.
I kept your heartbeat between my eyelids so i wouldn't have to feel what it was like to blink and miss you in an instant.  
Every time I close my eyes,
I remember what silence felt like in your arms and I want the night to hold that darkness so I never have to blink again.
Maybe I won't have to think if all I see is the night,
Maybe I won't have to let this moment end and maybe I'm better off never trying to put our stars together.
The sky stays black as I move our constellations together,
And the world orbits around me and what we used to be.
One of the first poems that I used to define my style of writing and really get in tune with themes and the use of the english language to set up parallel motives within each sentence.

Every word and syllable is crafted to deliver this poem.

Us           and our arguments presupposed - You said I was wrong.....after much cogitation-through the perception of pain
I think you're right!

To have you in my heart, where you don't belong
oh my stars Jul 2016
her laugh is the most beautiful noise in the universe.
and the way she looks at you could melt your heart.
the love is not romantic,
but it is real.
she is everything to me.
she helped me find land in a ocean of the unknown.
her smile is the medicine that cures it all,
all the pain washes away as soon as she appears.
i do not yearn for her,
but my god do i want her.
she means the world to me.
she's the kind of person who tells you everything's okay
and you believe her.
because she is,
without a doubt,
the most wonderful woman in this world.
and i am so lucky to know her.
i really do love you and i am so lucky that you're in my life.

what do you dream about tell me babe tell me honey
what would you rather have a lot of love or lots of money
you know some days are rainy and only some are sunny
not all is gold no matter how shiny
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
you know One Love is like the ocean
where music flows creating this emotion
hold my hand and i will take you for a ride
show you a place where you and me can hide

just for a moment let the music play out
no need to talk just Listen to the sound
i get this vibe i know you feel it too
you standing there without anything to do

let your guard down and i will protect you
God heard me say Thank You for today i met her
everyday she lives like it is her last
some go by slow some go by fast

at the bus stop waiting to get high
i stopped by as if to say good bye
she wants to live and she wants to get higher
i am here to help fulfill her desire

i get her she reminds me of myself
and soon enough we ended up all by ourself
Her Eyes are deep like the ocean of stars
i look and i see them fall as if drops

out from a cloud that she used to ride
she stepped on the ground to be by my side
my inspiration and my muse
i heard her whisper me the truth

she spread her wings
and now she is gone
i am here alone
better than none

we shall meet and never part again
when she comes back there will be no more pain
she is by my side her hand in mine
where ocean meets the sky Sunrise shall shine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
what do you dream about tell me babe tell me honey

I'd like to thank the devil on my back for keeping my eyes
focused on the angel in my life

May my fragile feet fail me no more
May your open arms save me from the storm.

I feel fire raining from on high
I feel fire, not above, but just behind

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Hold this world together, safe from harm, even as it tears me apart

Look at the sky,
Blue clear open space like a bedroom
Stare at the cotton-like clouds that seem so fluffy to rest on
Gaze at the stars, how does it feel to have so many lamps?

The moon that never left you at midnight's wakefulness
Have you ever felt so special?
Please tell me...
How can you not thank the Creator for these gifts?
