My, my well look at you
The audacity of you looking so good, yeah you sure is cute
Bringing that love & passion, it ain’t no thing
Let me prove myself to you, I’m trying to give you a ring

You got on that new outfit & a bonus check
Pink peony semi-Matte all over them lips
Book smarts-Street knowledge, can’t do no wrong
At the gym, legs fit, upper body real strong

Queen looking real bad, ain’t got no choice
Fall in love every time I just hear her voice
She’s my "P.Y.T-Michael Jackson(R.I.P)", she got that fire & ice
Double-take, owe I had to look at her twice

She boo
She fly
She cute
Can’t even lie
She dope
Real smooth
Girl oooouuu! Yassss you fine!

She look like Bae

In the beginning,
Me & you had a meet & greet.
We interact with each other
Getting to know one another
As we enjoy the rest of our day together connecting.
Fast forward-Time flies, the days go by
Texting, calling, & meeting you is almost a daily routine.
Things went well, with what seems high promise
However; We never tell how our hearts are truly feeling.

As time goes on, we begin to lose contact.
You stop seeing my face
Distance is placed
Interest seems lost with no knowledge of what caused
You to focus somewhere else.
So....There’s really not much for me to do besides leave & be cool about it.

To be honest:
I can’t be mad, nor even be sad
Also, not to sound mean or make a scene but...
Did I waste my time???

kindness given
kindness received
small transactions
unseen, .
but not unnoticed
are the true pennies
from heaven
tossed with love,
into the wells
of our tired hearts

Can any one spare
a penny.... or two
                     ......today

You may not understand every poem that is written
Or the message they send.

So appreciate the art, story tellers, fictions, struggles, good & bad times-the life of poetry.

Because each poem, including this one, has something to give.

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
