POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a very verbal person looking for an outlet to express my creativity, thoughts and beliefs. I am loving to live life through living to love.
Get Real
Don't give me no more sad songs
don't give me no more lies
don't give me no more excuses, aliases or alibi's
come correct be direct or up the block you can get
you had my time, I'd come to you at the drop of a dime but instead you'd like to chase behind every ass you can find
handsome face pretty good taste but sneaky ass ways make you just a waste, of my time.
I am on a journey a quest
really trying to find the best
a real man a true man
not the lie to you brotha-man
walk right by you brotha,leave you and two kids stuck on the side of he road type...

I Love You Through The Seasons
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall with you my love I would spend them all
at Winter we could watch the snow flakes drop
in the Summer water balloons on each other we would pop
we'd do our thing all through the Spring
and in the Fall we'd relax and reminisce on it all.
see with you I can see my life all the way through
with you I am you and you are me
and together as one is the most beautiful thing to be
I support you and you strengthen me when we are making love there is no more a joyous harmony ...

The Dating Game
The dating game the waiting game
the who's gonna break who's heart first and run game
its all the same when you make up your own bad rules
creep and run with fools and don't use the common courtesy that you should have learned in school, then comes the jealousy the deceit full of envy and stranger danger mentality
crossing out lives like days on a prison cell wall
showing no compassion but plenty of gall
caring but not really caring at all about who got hurt or who took the fall
maybe one day after you get your heart crushed you'll understand and repent for...

The Power Of Your Stare
I never cared until I caught the power of your stare
Should I dare give you a chance just from the power of your intriguing glance?
Should I take the next move or continue on with my daily groove
I get shy all of a sudden when I'm in the presence of your power
a few seconds feel as if though hours
You have a hold on me and I'm scared but I like it
So why do I continue to try to fight it
I think I like the control I have for I know if I give myself to you all of me you will have
I never knew a look could be so great

The Only Thing I Want To Do........
To give myself to you freely and totally my love to you solely;
to be with you
is the only thing I want to do
To kiss you to hold you to stroke you to make my body connect within you
Is the only thing I want to do
To comfort you, to calm you to strengthen you to uplift you
Is the only thing I want to do
To be one with you in unity and harmony
Is the only thing I want to do
To be your friend your lover and your wife till the end
Is the only thing I want to do
To grow up with you and grow old with you

Loving To Live Life Through Living To Love
Keeping you on my mind keeps me from pressing rewind and going back to such a lonely place that I was once in at one point and time.
Enjoying life is so much better when you have someone to enjoy it with
Love is a gift
a gift to be shared
shared with others
others who care
who love in return
who don't give to get
but give because it feels good and it keeps their needs met
I was a hard shell with such a loving core
that could not be seen or recognized like a small pebble on a vast ocean floor
waiting to be found, discovered, revealed ...

The Power of Love
The strength and masculinity in your soft words of touched guidance makes my determination and curiosity yearn all the more to be fed.
You have brought back a taste in my heart that I once believed was dead.
I realize now there are so many more words of love to be said.
I am growing in grace at a very refreshing pace; yet, through it all still thankful for my past and never wanting to erase the trials, tears, heartache and obstacles I had to face.
Stronger, wiser, softer, kinder
I am growing through knowing
that life is giving and loving is showing
I...

In A World Of Texts and Emails
In a world of texts and emails that fade away...
Sometimes it's best to use a pen and paper for what you have to say...
I read through many a old card and love letter today...
I wanted to hear words in such a bad way; but here they are not and with voices they did not have words to say...
While reading so many a time I turned my head and allowed the tears to lead the way...
As I recite through each sentence the words seemed brand new...
It took me back to a place so special and true...
And reminded me of how much I could love and be loved too...
I was laughing...

One To Grow On
To Love me is to Know me and to truly know me is to Love me Well.
I know many strangers and have known many throughout my life that is where the teaching people are sometimes only with you for a season comes from I believe
Some to love us, some to hurt us
in doing so teaching us,if we are paying attention
so we become stronger, wiser, and more alert to what is happening to us in front of us.
Some loved ones can only remain in the category of loved ones from a distance,if brought in direct contact they become the likes of a traveler in a foreign land right...

Only a Dream
I feel you slowly creep up from behind, breathing soft and warmly from my neck to my spine trying so religiously to blow my mind. You make me wonder what it is to truly be in love, because you; can’t be in love when the one you love doesn't love himself as he says he does you.
It’s killing me softly to have to continue to pull away, when deep in my heart I so yearn to stay. Stay by your side on this unpredictable ride, as you go faster and faster on the road of genocide.
The game is thick; but the game is great for those who are strong enough to go straight.
Your masculinity...

Passing me by
I watch you pass my way every day, but never can I find the words to say.
I’m too old, I’m too shy; can’t keep letting you pass me by and in my mind all I can think of is I’m in love with you and I don’t even know you.
You smile, I smile back you keep on going an that is that.
My feelings for you grow stronger every time I see you
but my tongue gets tied and I don’t know what to say or do.
At night I dream of us together and what it would be like, how strong our love could be, how ultimately right.
I don’t even know your name but regardless my heart you...
