Poetry for the Heart

Love Songs

    Listening to throw back music/ Music that was old school during my teenage years
    Music that moved you in ways that you never understood/
    Music that make me think of you/ things that we could/ things that would
    Things that should/ but no, I'm sitting here writing
    Listening to music that has me thinking
    Damn, where did I go wrong/ for so long I was bitter
    Bitter that turned into anger/ but this music reminded me of better
    Oh the fun we had, the times we played/ people looking 
    Our chemistry was amazing/ the world was our stage/ Babe
    How did I let you go?/ How I didn't know/ that one day
    one day we would cancel the show/ How could I not know
    that moments like this would be moments so low
    Oh I wish I could have those times back/ put the pieces back
    reconfigure the way I would act/ honor that unwritten pact
    recreate that love/ recreate those moments/ recreate the history
    If I could explain my position/ It would be the smile I get
    Listening to music/ that feeling you get/ but now the unexpected
    the music recreating the memories/ realizing how sad that these
    These things that are called feelings/ amazing how I wish I could take everything 
    Take everything back/ remove the pain I ever caused/ take a moment to pause
    understand why you ever said the things you said
    Music causes me to replay these things in my head
    Screaming Like Luther when he gets deep into his song
    The powerful voice of Whitney Houston's in a love song
    Knowing that, with you is where I belong
    Listening to throw back music/ Music that was old school during my teenage years
    Music that moved you in ways that you never understood/ 
    Music that make me think of you, us, we, oh the times were good
    the times were magnificent/ oh together we have should
    But I guess we never would, we never could 
    So I'll sit here and listen to music/ listen till I'm down right sick 
    Sick of that feeling of missing you/ and still I will sit and listen
    Listen cause I'm missing you, wishing you and I could re-imagine the Love

My Poetry of You

    Perfection in the way my memories depict the thoughts of you
    Confession I wish I made a different decision, my choice to choose you
    Realization that there is nothing that I can really do 
    Now I'm writing my wishes and regrets, poetry of loss
    How things got this way, leaving me to count the cost
    Created so many bad memories after leaving you 
    Heated, cause I wish I knew, now I'm livin sad and blue
    Listening to sad songs thinking about you 
    and all the things that we used to do 
    Every clock I look at seems to tick slow
    in and out of my dreams, trying hard not to show
    trying hard not to see them, but every where I move
    your scent, your memory, seems glued, never to elude 
    my mind, a touch, a look is a prelude to a memory 
    a never ending pain, like an arm that was cut off
    but it's my heart that knows that it will never be a part of
    a part of your greatness, your life, I'm missing greatly 
    Why, why, why, why I must think of you, like it wasn't me
    Like I wasn't the one who could've of made this right
    I could've of been the one that was with you at night
    waking up next to you in the A M, you being my first sight
    But I thought I knew best, I thought I could live with out you
    Now I'm stuck with this depiction of you 
    this perfection of everything that is you
    the realization that I could have been with you
    but now I'm writing my regrets, my wishes, my poetry of you

I Was Blind but Now I See

    I'm not sure when it happened but I've been feeling you lately
    So I'm just wondering if you're free to see me
    Speak a little, sight see, conjure up some memories
    Conversation, to answer any of your queries 
    Let the enjoyment of your company fill me with desires
    that I'm sure to return anything that you require. 
    Thoughts, Dreams, Smiles, and Laughter
    How I didn't see the things that matter
    You've always been there, your company, your presence
    Overlooked you so many times, searched for this 
    while the whole time you were here waiting patiently
    watched me as I chose women after women constantly 
    Leaned on you when I didn't get it right
    put me back together, even though you was not in my sight
    I'm not sure when it happened but I'm so glad
    you remained here by my side through the good and bad
    You truly showed me how love can really be
    Showed me the value of consistency 
    Now there is nothing that I rather do
    then spend every moment with you 
    I want to provide every smiling moment possible
    I want you to experience love on every level
    I want you to feel what's like to have no worries
    I want us to explore all the possibilities 
    Every fantasy that we can fit into our reality
    I want you to know what it is to truly be happy

God's Perfection

      Dreams and wishes, fulfilled every time I'm around you
      perfections made in real life so true
      live life to the fullest in every thing we do
      a love shaped in heaven, brought down to earth
      passions crafted, fashions created more beautiful than birth
      kisses from fantasy, laid so perfectly
      being around you this couldn't possibly be reality
      Every second blessed for eternity. God's best delivered so precisely
      Fantasy once again created in reality
      you and me fashioned with the greatest of passions
      perfection made stronger than any attraction 
      a love connection, the most complicated equation 
      simplified in this situation, purified in this relation 
      the most beautiful creation 
      Time slows every time you around me
      blessed by this opportunity 
      can't believe you're right next to me
      I can write with so such creativity
      every time you touch me, I birth such poetry
      a love fashioned in fantasy, positioned in reality
      can only exist in a dream that you brought to me
      an experience that I cherish greatly
      Earth can't contain the way I feel about you 
      pages written can never give you your just do 
      Clues go on for infinity, dreams of you constantly
      Loving everything about you, feeling brand new
      every time we do what we do, yes Lord Thank you!
      I could not be blessed with anything better
      my feelings for you go on forever and ever and ever...
      travel through the greatest fires, live through the coldest winters
      as long as I am with you, I don't care what we do 
      I want to experience every type of experience that I can with you
      Reality built from fantasy, from what you have presented to me
      I put on this sign, every line that I could find
      with the most creative rhymes, but I find at this time
      that nothing will do, nothing can do,
      to properly explain the way I feel about you
      so no creative way to say I love you

You're the one

      Please forgive my aggressive nature
      I meant no disrespect for sure
      I just was taken by your beauty 
      lost myself truly, wanting you to know me
      allow me another chance, to prove the man 
      that will let you know I understand 
      And understand that you are my world, my universe
      no other woman, no other girl, no other source
      can bring me the pleasures that you do 
      Oh baby, please let me show you more than you know
      Let me show you that my love will forever hold
      And know that all my love is for you only 
      never doing anything purposely, but to fulfill your wishes
      fulfill all your dreams, and desires
      I will do anything to properly care for my queen
      I wanna make your darkest nights the brightest
      I wanna make your life, loved to the fullest

Passionate Affair

      It ain't easy being me when it comes to loving you
      Half the time I'm not sure of what to do 
      baby I admit you're the best thing that ever happen to me
      and you have to know that I really love you greatly 
      Physically and spiritually oh you are the best 
      and every moment that I'm with you is heavenly bliss
      I love doing everything with you but still 
      I am unsure of you and I, and I don't know what to feel
      when I'm away from you, I constantly fight 
      I fight the urges to call you every night 
      I doubt us, I don't believe this can be right 
      I can't shake that feeling that you are 
      that we are, that I am the broken one 
      Purest form of love we share, passionate moments 
      moments that turn to despair, constant arguments
      an ending that causes us to repeat this cycle
      Where I'm here once again causing more pain 
      Is it I that is hurt, or am I just enjoying the moments
      waiting for the end to finally say see, 
      this is what I'm trying to prevent
      I want to see you happy, no worry for me
      I think I'll be okay but when I write that final line
      I just have permanent thoughts of keeping you mine
      Such a selfish way to think, to be 
      But loving you seems to be a curse I can't break
      for whatever reason my addiction to you I refuse to shake
      and this cycle we will repeat until you free us 
      free us from this passionate affair and lost hope

Bearing Witness

      I awoke in the dead of night, not realizing that it was early morning.
      Time has passed so quickly yet so silently. 
      I imagined you were here, laying next to me,
      feeling your warmth and at the same time being attached to your soul
      was the best thing about my imagination. 
      So I wish, no I prayed, that I would see you tonight, no today,
      cause we can pretend, I can pretend that it was at anytime. 
      Really this is just words because the truth is, 
      when I'm inside of you, 
      I have no witness of time. 
      I only witness the pleasures that I receive when I'm pleasuring you
      I am no witness to time, 
      when I hear sounds of wind escape, the howls, the screams, the yelling
      while I'm searching and seeking the truth in your essence. 
      I am no witness to time when I feel the warmth, 
      the heat surround my physical gifts. 
      I am no witness to time while I digest your juices. 
      I am no witness to time while I enjoy every essence of your being. 
      You are the greatest reason to live, 
      the reason why I am forced to say I love you,
      the reason to confess every sin, 
      the reason I speak in tongue, 
      the reason to proclaim that all I said is true,
      even when I don't want to. 
      This is why,
      I believe you are the greatest woman alive.

        Perfection in our conversations 
        Let me reintroduce you to something new
        Let me reintroduce you to you

Beauty, Lover, Conquer

        Beauty knew you well, awe the sexy could not touch you
        Gaze upon you, heaven's greatest gift, perfection times 2
        remarkable in the way you move, poetry was your creation
        artistically drawn, uniquely made, top grade vacation
        walk pass me, the time I wish for a longer duration 
        the view, made new, with each step, I pray for visitation
        and when you speak, your mind, your words, your speech
        your strength will expose the weak, your truth a perfect reach
        no one can touch you, nothing a man can do, can make you
        You don't allow the weak to move what you do
        You don't understand the word quit, 
        Visually explicit, let my words be a conduit
        charge you with being to excellent for flesh
        to intelligent to use and abuse, not my quest
        I do confess, that I've been preparing myself for you
        trying my best to create a better version of me
        Let me introduce myself fully
        Flawed and unhealthy 
        sometimes I dance with the devil, I fear nothing on this earth 
        Conquered life on every level, destined for greatness since birth
        Strong willed, strong mind, yet sensitive to your needs 
        Listener, Leader, Lover, and protector of everything that breathes
        Guaranteed to give you something that you can feel 
        No worries about getting a bum deal, 
        My love will last and it's real 
        Know that there will be nothing but death that can conquer
        You will not have a more perfect Lover

A Million Years

        Searching for inspiration like I'm searching for the love of my life
        A million years, no configuration, no finding, no solution in sight
        than there's you, and you, and you, the women in my life
        there in front of me, giving me the things I've been searching 
        God knows, the reason I do this, the reason for writing 
        A million years and I would have never known this would be so easy
        You drip inspiration, seeping with motivation, and I record constantly
        constantly receiving this gift, always being moved, seeing clearly 
        I shake my head, listening to music, cause you, the woman
        In a million years I could never create the beauty you portray 
        A million years, constantly searching, never realized day to day
        you've been here
        here for a million years, a constant, amazingly creative 
        dripping with inspiration, seeping with motivation, all you give
        all that I receive, the energy, the vision, the life, my spirit
        So today, I'm no longer searching, just recording what's in it
        Writing, Living, following the motions of your gifts 
        riding the waves of your woman, set a drift
        in your forever essence, 
        Now here in your presence

Just Come With Me

Excuse me miss, let me introduce myself as someone who wants to be in your presence. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say I belong or you belong, I'm just trying to make it known, that I'm making my opportunity to convince you to come with me, so we can go to a place, where we can speak free. Discuss missions of not being the one to make you unhappy and I won't throw no lines, about making you mines, not that I could come up with any that describe your beauty but what I will do is show my intellectual versatility tell you how I'm living my dreams, and show you that there is many things that life can bring that we can enjoy even if it's not the finer things and just as we talking, I'll open the connection a little wider, show my humor so we can share a little laughter and even if its the one time, I'll make sure the memory is so divine, that you smile and you'll know that it was worth your while. I'll own that piece of happiness and share it generously and all this can happen if you just come with me.

I Met A Woman Yesterday

I met a woman yesterday. At first I didn't notice anything but a smile, that's all I needed to say, "excuse me miss, what are you drinking?" Now I know you're thinking, but before you go to speaking, it's been a minute for this type of thing. And my gift of oral spewing is a little rusty and. her smile caught my attention. Now as a man, I guess, we all have that expectation that she wants to experience this, even after a lay off I still had my confidence. After all I am poetically engineered to pull off the impossible and with my poetical consultation she was able to receive my message. So begins the conversation and this is where the evaluation of of our characters begin. We were perfect in the dealings with each other. Two adults chatting, together, covered siblings to father and mother. There were laughs, there were dreams, at times there was no other there. Yea there were people everywhere, but them, we did not care. We danced and spoke the night away.
I met a woman yesterday. She was sitting up front and I was sitting in the back. The men leading the meeting was speaking, all we heard was yackety yack. She caught a glimpse of me catching a glimpse of her and we spoke telepathically. She could hear me very clearly, I'm poetically engineered to deliver messages silently. A smile here, a smile there, finger pointing facial expressions, it was as if there were no other there. Of course our communication erased all care. So on and on we went with this non verbal flirtation. Now as a man, I guess, we all witness that signal, and any signal is a signal that you want us and we'll bless you with a conversational piece that might be so primal, or yet so intellectual, that you'll be forced to listen. And in this case, she was sitting in the front, across the room was me, sitting in the back ignoring the yackety yack, making silent conversation with the woman I met yesterday.
I met a woman Yesterday. She had a shopping cart, gathering things here and there. I needed to find a way, to make her listen to things I had to say, just how and where that might be is this mystery I had to solve quickly. I decided to move in, I decided to do things and, I decided to move when, I decided this time then, I put things in her cart, at first she was to much into her own mind, so piece here, piece there, it was clear she noticed, she paused, begin to voice, when I said I was practicing, she was not listening, so I repeated I was practicing. See I'm poetically engineered to ignore the following and deliver the greatest meeting, which can have you experiencing a complete understanding, that I might be the one you were needing. So I explained that I was looking and seeing and didn't want to miss out on an opportunity to see what the value was that was displayed internally since the package was perfectly made externally why not give myself the gift to know she. She stood quietly, not wanting to smile but my poetry, and my clear concise delivery, made it impossible to not see the truth that I was unlike any other and this bought a few moments of her time to deliver a few more lines so I continued to enter her mind. How'd we met I want so say I met a woman yesterday.
I have a lot to say, about the day before today, you see, I met a woman yesterday. The difference was, she seemed awfully familiar. It was like my soul knew her. Who was she? Past life time meeting, one one one speaking. I had to see, if she knew me, because I feel like I knew her. She was very familiar. So I approached cautiously. My mind began to form poetry. But before I could release any lines, she spoke and said you are poetically engineered to forget me every time. Your words be so smooth but you don't speak to me. Your ways so confident but your needs are empty. There is nothing a woman can do to satisfy you. No woman can keep your attention, no woman can ascertain your love. The universe keeps bringing you to me and continually dis me. It's like I'm being punished for looking the way I do. I don't know why the cards keep dealing me you. Why don't you go away. Why must I me be the woman you met yesterday?
I met a woman yesterday. And when I met her, I knew all the lessons I learned I wouldn't deliver the lines the same way. And yes I'm poetically engineered to deliver words in a certain way that will make you say, here's my number and please don't make me wait okay. But today, this moment, I just wanted her to know, that I'm not more mature than I was years ago, and no I'm any more smarter than any moment before, and sure I'm a little wiser, but I'm definitely more attentive to the needs of the woman I met yesterday. And I will make every day that woman I met yesterday, that woman I met yesterday and here to day, I'm here to tell you I met a woman yesterday and she is here today.

Struck By Your Beauty

Excuse me, but I was struck by your beauty. Face so pretty, now I could be blinded but something is drawing me to speak to you and excuse me if I’m so aggressive, it’s my nature being overwhelmed by your presence. I use my poetry to calm my nerves and to seduce you into a conversation of at least a thousand words. Let me understand the perfection in your being, utilize the moments to understand the physical I’m seeing. And I know I might be staring, and I know you not caring, cause that’s kinda rude, but the beauty you exude keeps my eyes fixated. With my heart beat escalated it's hard to concentrate. So let us escape have the environment ease the transition from strangers to emotionally tangled individuals discussing the goals of future or the failures of the past and be of awe the time moving fast. Take the time to get to know me, let my poetry describe your beauty, let's enjoy these moments that time send us for free. Allow me to see you for the you that you really be, let me know what your personality will display. Find all the reasons to have you come my way. I could see myself continuously seeking you because my eyes has been captured by the enormity of your physical nature consistently dripping beauty in a way that no man can resist the temptation to risk his heart to find you in that grand temple that you possess and the only thing that would make you a more desirable queen is the fact that you could be intellectually pleasing.

If I Ever Have The Chance

    Sometimes a situation can produce an equation that seems impossible to solve. 
   Sometimes randomness can extrapolate a response from somewhere that doesn't exist. 
       Sometimes we have no idea of the what or the why or the who. 
       Now you add these moments to a man with no preparation 
       and watch how a women can affect that chemistry 
       producing that moment of creative poetry. 
       This is exactly what you did to me. 
     I had no idea of what was going on in my mind, all I knew is at that very time, 
       all I saw was a beauty that had no name, no flaws, 
       and I had to know who, where, 
       how did I not see you before, 
       how long have I been in the presence of such artistry. 
       Beauty is a language only you speak, a uniqueness that makes you a mystery. 
       And if I had the chance, I would explore the widths of your mind, 
       study the randomness of your nature, 
       I would focus on the verbs and nouns you produce, 
       and I'd make sure I spoke to your beat. 
       Now I understand these are high praise, but please realize, 
       I'm only a man who found himself in the presence of a woman, 
       who just amazed my mind and stole my eyes and put images of beauty 
       that made speak this poetry, forgetting who I am as a person
          and not understanding the true effect you have on me. 
          My mind twisted, needing to know you, understand your presence, 
       to constantly receive short glimpses of the one who knocked all senses out of me 
          without even speaking and yes I'm knowing I captured your name, 
          and somewhat the direction from which you came, 
         but that was the cause of carrying something you may not even be aware of. 
          But I tell you once again, that if I ever have the chance, 
          I would enlighten your presence, 
        I would contribute you countless subjects that would have your mind seeking more. 
          I would take you on a world tour of the countless things
          that I captured from this world and would bring them to your presence,
          constantly making your life produce fruits of constant enjoyment.

Fucking Mesmerized

I can count how many times I felt my heart flutter
and if you countin' with me then you know the answer, is never
though many caught my attention, eyes staring
you might even mention, I thought some of em was amazing
so you wondering why I'm here speaking
trying to convince you of something, something that you not caring
and yea I'm wishing you were hearing but I know countless times
you've heard the lines, the pleading, maybe even my rhymes
And there is nothing that I can do to change what you knew
All I can do is tell a little story of how you got me to
change the things that I do, the very first time I seen you
Walking and thinking, doing what I be doing,
living a life where you did not exist, yet you arrived
I stumbled, lost my heart, my mind, I was fucking mesmerized
I thought you to be a part of my imagination
thought you to be a brief moment in time, a vision
But then you reappeared and I had to know who, where
asked a couple of questions, and my answers I would share
as part of my lungs seemed to collapse I had to leave
moving on catching my breath or gasping for air, I could not breathe
Out from your presence I felt the rush of air come in
As I begin to relax and start breathing again
I begin to collect my thoughts and dissect what was happening to me
Then it hit me, I was crushing, and I was crushing badly
So when I tell you this was all new to me, I need you to realize
That you and you only, stole my eyes
I was, I am fucking mesmerized

I Saw You

It's like music on a breezy summer day, it's like a cool night at the beach, it's like that feeling that you wish would stay but slips away, as soon as the moment leaves another moment comes in it's place. It's not enough poetic verses that could describe this writing with you on my mind, I'm wishing I could find the lines, my pen rushing the moments, my mind grasping for the verbs that constitutes my feelings the moment your essence suffocates my thoughts. It's like the beginning of this construction of collective thoughts, that are scrambled, not resembling any of my past writings but representing the very moment I saw you. A matter of fact each and every moment that I have seen you. I can't grasp the feeling of that breezy summer day, I cannot interpret the meaning to me feeling this way. I am sure I'm somewhere else when our worlds enter in existence, this would explain why I cannot form a four to five word sentence. Each and every moment, each and every thought, the world would be in agreement, these feelings cannot be resisted or fought. However your magnetism is extremely strong, your essence lingers leaving your presence to be desired and if I could sing I would sing your song and since this is not possible, I'll turn this into a poem. So I repeat, It's like music on a breezy summer day, it's like a cool night at the beach, it's like that feeling that you wish would stay but slips away, as soon as the moment leaves another moment comes in it's place. It's not enough poetic verses that could describe this writing with you on my mind, and at this very time repeating these lines, I'm typing moments that would come to mind, thinking of the same things about ten times, the very thought of you suffocates the space in which my creative side searches for that spot where I could trace some resemblance of a great writing, that could describe the greatest feeling, that excitement, that rush to find the words, to place in a string with creative verbs. Tongue twisting, mind bending, words rumbling and it all happened when I saw you. I saw you, I seen you, I saw seen you. Yet there is nothing that I can do, to shake these feelings and have these words accrue. So what it is, I to do? Repeat the beginning of that very feeling. It's like music on a breezy summer day, it's like a cool night at the beach, it's like that feeling that you wish would stay but slips away, as soon as the moment leaves another moment comes in it's place. It's not enough poetic verses that could describe this writing with you on my mind. No matter how many times I repeat this to myself, I'm constantly looking anyway for the words that are left. As I do it the thought of you, seeing you, looking for you suffocates the very essence of my being in the presence of a complicated mind where you don't exist but exist at the same time. And yet I look through emptiness to find that very line that could spark a conversation that doesn't come naturally to a natural born speaker and I wish I could speak intelligently when you're right there but for whatever reason, I'm stuck gasping for air that's leavin choking on the very verbs I created, mastered, spoke unabated, yet that feeling of being elated when you presence is near, your very name spoken causes my mind to clear. And all of this happened in one moment, that moment I saw you.
