Poet Introduction
I live my life based on two principles. One☝🏾: I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two✌🏾: I live today as if I’m going to live forever
Lee's Synapses
The conversation was VIA Whatsapp dated June 16, 2016.
Lee: I believe they we're enlightened of the truth during this time, this level of alien and reptilian control over society had been around for a very long time love.
It was on March 4th... I was on my way home from work after leaving early that day. The bus park had more people rather than busses and I asked a worker (jutc) a simple question and was greeted with a homophobic/transphobic glare of destain instead of an answer, so I asked again... she walked away. At this point I became infuriated and went upstairs to trade in...

Resolutions
In the past I made many resolutions
To stop smoking
Eat less and exercise more
Go the gym
Walk the dog
Endure these activities
Even though they’re a complete bore
Although never quite successful
We all do it as an annual event
Do what you can for the elderly and infirm
Giving to charity
As much as we can afford
Help a child in crisis to give them hope
Something they may not have experienced before
Helping in a homeless shelter
Makes you appreciate your life as it is
Donating old clothes
To keep less fortunate others...

Discombobulatedly in love
I always find myself thinking out loud. Like our first official date..This first date wasn't the worst! She's smart, she's beautiful, she's funny, and I didn't want to run out the door, screaming and clawing my eyes out, so she's already way better than the last three women I went out with. I get butterflies (and kinda sweaty) when she texts. I will never, ever tell anyone that I got butterflies or whatever as long as I live. Why can't that phrase be more masculine, like, "I got cool bugs in my stomach. She gives me scorpions."
We can actually talk for more than 30 minutes...

Starting with you.
I ❤️that you get cold when it’s below 30 degrees out but you still use the fan. I love that it never takes you forever to order a sandwich. I love that you get attentive whenever I speak like my words are wisdom. I ❤️that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. I ❤️that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely. I am saying this now because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as...

Sade
I know you love her songs
I know you love poems
so i thought i'd just mix the two.
This right here is a combination just for you. let me introduce to you ...
Sade..
let me be your smooth operator
i'll give you the sweetest taboo
let me stay by your side
and give you the kiss of life
cause what we'll have will be no ordinary love
why?
because i'm a soldier of love
and nothing can come between us.
love is stronger than pride
but i'm king of sorrow
and i never thought i'd see the day
i'd watch the moon in the sky...

Stealer
Let me be your bandit. Ravaging wont be done with only words.
Even though i'm petrified to fall
I'll still cast myself out of the dark just to see those eyes.
Bright eyes is what i call you secretly for they don't just pull me in, they captivated my soul, my sense of well being.
Let me not just stimulate your cerebrum but your soul.
Deep within.
Let our hearts converge together, beating our chests away in a synchronous rhythm as we go about our daily activities.
Romance is my forte, so what ever walls you've built up,
I hope you're prepared to raze it because...

Criminal
Inspired by illicit thoughts,
Awoken by words ao old yet new. Shaken by tones heard only in my mind as i dream of what you sound like. You shared your words unspoken so simple but so deep beckoning me to reveal parts of me I work so hard to conceal. Tearing down my walls with sledge hammer type verbs confidently constructed to envoke my geek emotions and provoke my synapses to release my neurotransmitters and jolt my impulses into actions and steer my stillness into reactions.
Cause and effect
Sir Newton said it best. The pure release of free speech without fear of...

Love notes
With each moment of every passing day
I am drawn to your embrace. I cant wait for our souls to combine and create a love that withstands the test of time with each hour,
each minute,
each second bringing us closer than ever before.
Engulfing us in pleasure that exudes from the depths of our morphing frames...
expressing our raw sexuality.
But far beyond the physical is what we explore for we have mind games.
Deeper than the raw intertwining of bodies...
more passionate than the act of pure penetration...
I wish you'll allow me to undress you with...

Love note
It's not far back
But it started with our late nights and early morning conversations.
The random occasions that turned into night caps of psychological with the hope of physical penetration is what intrigued me.
At first I only wanted to know her on a platonic level.
I want us to feel something different.
Something surreal.
Because the truth is mama, when you speak
I get a little weak.
Not just the regular to the bones weak
The vibrating waves of your voice sends my adrenaline into a rush of multiple frequencies
It causes me to have premature...
