"brandi" poems
Here are the names of my lovers,
The women I sleep with, whom
I use, like they use me.
Spent, they discard me, for when their pleasure needs
Satiated, they climb aboard another man.
What they do not know,
Is that in my mind, in my ears,
everywhere,
I did not let them, or you go,
We are still romping,
For I
Take them as needed.
I need them all,
For my pleasure needs, like my unshaped heart,
Addictive, endless.
If your is name is here, I do not
Apologize.

So many others, used so long ago, I can't remember the faces,
Which can't be googled.
Use them hard, use them often, more than daily.
Bluntly, I tell you
Your name is on my list,
Even if I do not disclose it.

So tired of begging
And pleading
For your precious time
Just a simple conversation
Would ease
My worried mind
But here I sit
Alone
Once more
And even though
You are near
Our souls could not
Be farther apart
Words seem insincere
I know it may be difficult
Or impossible
To understand
But if you felt
The pain in my heart
You would know
Without a doubt
Control is not
What I seek
I only need your hand.

Dear Bull,
It's not even been 24 hours since you've passed and I already miss you. I know you were eight years old but I still believe you were taken from us too soon. I've been crying all day and I don't know how I'm going to cope without my best friend by my side. I truly hope you are in a better place and although I wish you hadn't gone so soon, I am glad to know that you are no longer in pain. I regret not getting to say goodbye to you but I didn't want to see you in so much pain. It tore me apart. I didn't know I could love something so much. It feels like a part of me has withered away. I know you loved running around the yard so I'm happy that you got to take one last stroll around your territory. We buried you in the backyard and we wrapped you in towels and blankets and we even put a pillow under your head so you'd be comfortable. So you could rest like you used to. I knew something was up when you didn't immediately go after your food, you loved food. And then you started throwing up. We thought it was just a stomach virus. But then it happened the next day, and the next day. We were going to take you to the vet on Monday but you didn't make it to Monday. I'm so proud that you still had the strength to get up and try to greet us like you did. I'm proud that you went knowing you were loved. And I'm so blessed to have had you in my life as long as I did. I will always always always love you and I will always miss you. I'm choking up while writing this. Sassy is whining for you and we all miss you dearly. I hope you're running around in Doggy Heaven, wagging your tail and getting a hold of every Milkbone snack you can find. You were the greatest dog ever. Know that I'll never forget you. Rest In Peace Bull, I hope to see you soon.
Love,
your favorite human,
Brandi.

This is how the story went
I met someone by accident
Who blew me away
Blew me away
And It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, buried them away
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done

I was colorblind
And I’ve yet to see a splash of color
Vivid as your mind
A shade of coral like no other.
That pretty smile
Paints the walls of rooms into rainbows
As blue as Nile
And as red as a heart any man may know
Just as the sun
You are bursting with an orange fire
A loaded gun
You are black powder loaded for hire.
Every wildflower
Lays a yellow pedal at your feet
As a reminder
That brilliance can be seen.
Never may I ever
See someone else just as beautiful
However severed
May I never see another color dull.
In greener days
I’ve yet to find something so true
In so many ways
I love every last hue in you.
**-D.B.H
for Brandi.**

I was never any good at saying goodnight
or goodbye for that matter
My hands are clenching this mug,
willing it to keep me awake.
My night won't end,
and I promise I'll figure out who I am,
if I can only stay up for 15 more minutes.
Witching hour, 12:34 syndrome,
what's behind the curtain of conscious number 3?
I'd spend my whole life hiding my heart away,
if I knew it wouldn't burn whenever I thought about
you dropping me off at the train station,
skyscrapers and kissed foreheads.
Every single time, it just sounds more honest
when Brandi says it.
They say you can read tea leaves.
I'd rather ground my fist into coffee
and see what truth lies underneath the soil.

This is my escape.
From this thing called Reality.
It's about time for you to grow up, Brandi.
Writing releases my worries,
About life.
Distracts me from my
Anxiety
Leaves me feeling better about myself.
It helps me to grow up.
In a way that I don't have to show anybody!
Except my poetry pals.
The only people who
Understand

So I'm done

Because right now

All over the floor
And I've gotta say

Feels
Great

Look I been try a get this **** straight
But it keeps changing up the pace
Once I got it think I've caught it
Something else is in my face
I'm a product of this stress
Got a baby on the way
But this ***** is known for lying
Could be real or could be fake
And on top of that
Didn't get to see Brandi graduate
Just got to see pictures of it
Knowing I didn't put that smile on her face
Its that dude she's in love with
I wonder how it tastes
Giving me a dose of my own medicine
It's setting in
Gotta put on my kevlar vest again
Let no one in
Take these sedatives
Just for good measure when your pain is pleasure is it a sin
To tear a hole in yourself so big you see through it
Making these movements going through the motions choosing
Like the outcome wasn't coming
How can I grow up when I'm from nothing
Reputation leads assumption to the forefront
Got these girls looking storefront
While I'm just wondering what these ****** want

On Valentine's Day, it's all about love, romance and passion
We've never been through this in a while.
And I still love beautiful girls so much
Because they're really nice to me than the other people.
Just so I know, Brandi Wilson is my favorite girl I've ever met.
She always love me everytime I want.
I'm very adorable that she has a better life of her own
Without any kind of problems at all.
And I just want to say that I really love you and I really miss you so much, Brandi Wilson.
You are such an adorable and beautiful girl I've ever had in my own life.
I wish i wanna be with you someday when I come visit New York again.
