I am looking for validation,
To staying focus on the right path.
Or, at least, in the right direction.

I am reaching for your approval,
Some sign for your judgement.
Balancing out the principles & merit.

I am waiting on acceptance,
Love of belonging somewhere
Rather than out in the world.

....Then I realized ....

I no longer need validation
I no longer want to seek approval
I no longer wait for acceptance

I developed from being a young man,
And evolved into a grown man.
Life of happiness and prosperity in abundance of wealth,
Lifelong improvement of my health.
Stay on time paying bills ,
Being one bad brotha that can cook on the grill.
Place faith in this house,
Provide for my lover, so I have to make every moment count.
Instead of going out on weekends to get drunk or cross faded,
I stay home working on poetry,
focus on meditating on top of meditating.

My shyness appears when I’m around you.
Catching my eyes & attention every time we talk or next to each other.
However; I don’t know if I should express my feelings.
It makes me nervous because I don’t want to mess anything up.
But at the same time
I want to tell you how much you mean to me.
Even if it’s only been a short period of time of knowing you.

See, I have these weird moments when
I wonder if you can hear my heart sing a tune.
And it says “I love you”.
But through that tune
Our thoughts are connected.
Yet, we just know exactly what we’re thinking + the reasons why...
You see what I see
Feel what I feel too
Speak out your truth like I want to.

So as I lay here next to you tonight
Truly happy
I had to pour out my heart in this poem before I slept.
Because you are someone I wanna be with til the end of time starting 2020.

I hope one day the feeling is mutual...

I strive off struggle & determination to create success.
My craft is so unique, it performs greatness.
My intelligence is sharp
Wisdom is astounding
Through God's gift,
My sacrifice for my love ones change their lives for the better.
But one thing's for sure though...
As I stand out from the crowd,
I am Magnificent
My legacy will forever ♾

Being told to not rush things.
Longing, yearning, dreaming of what’s to come.
And yet
There is an incapability to step forward.
So I ask,
Are we really rushing love?
By not letting it bloom it’s value
Right there, in that moment of truth.
Or is it just unnecessary opinions,
Given to us because we’re afraid of the inevitable?
We want to change the world but not what holds us back.
“Don’t rush.”
“The time will come.”
“If it’s meant to be...”
You say “You will just know.”
You say “There isn’t always a reason.”
But, you still say
“Don’t rush.”
“It’s too soon.”
How long do you wait
When you know it’s right?
In this moment, this is right.
In this time, nothing else matters
Because my time is now.
And yet, in that moment too long,
We fail to realize that we had our chance.
We had our shot to go for it!
To tell our truth
To kiss in that booth
Before we said goodbye.

"Keep your eyes closed, love. sometimes all you have to listen is to what the sound of the waves tells you to do."

When I was much younger, beaches were my second favorite places. I still love watching waves as they go by, crashing against each other and the whole process repeating all over again.

This divinity does not come from within these legs
The beauty you see comes from my hands
Your desperate need to feel the rough patches on my skin
My berry shades of scars
You haven't seen me yet
The nakedness of the blisters on my skin
