Love That Mystifies

Love that is reciprocated,
tied with giving,
understanding,
acceptance,
and the beauty of meeting in the middle,
is truly a gift,
from the universe,
our gods,
and the stars,
my love,
my one and only,
Is my gift,
a blessing,
and to say I’m lucky to have been bestowed such a wonderful gift,
is truly an understatement,
and there is no word strong enough,
to express the gratitude that truly captures what our love means to me,
I will always love him,
he’d have to be stripped from my soul,
because he is intertwined,
in every fiber that is the essence of me,
and with each breath,
our love strengthens,
bonds tighter,
and through misunderstandings,
our love deepens,
love is revolving,
constantly evolving,
as life’s challenges continue,
to never stay under control,
and through each and every day,
there is peace in my soul,
and in my inner smile,
my outward glow,
our love,
our one beating heart,
continues to mystify us all.

Drown the Theory

My desire to write and my motive to find no words to share,
Weigh heavy on my mind,
I’d like to sit here in my solitude,
Feel the cool breeze offset the hundred degree heat,
And drown out the thoughts screaming to be heard,
But soul will have nothing to do with my mania,
So I write,
And tell the story of the thoughts,
I fight,
Within the deep pain,
I struggle to make sense of the feelings that I associate with the pouring tears that burn my heart,
Like an open salted wound,
That flickers more anguish with each tear,
Trying to make sense of what is real,
And what is not,
Does my over analytical mind
construct a theory that is untrue?
Or does my theory prove the illusion of desires that shadow truth?
And in the deafening silence,
Do I truly exist?
Are the thoughts pure?
Is there merit?
How does one pick apart illusions of reality and hold the reality out of illusions?
I need to swim in the sea of wine,
I need to float on drunkenness where I drown the theory,
Numb the pain,
And seek the sunrise of another day.

Weeping Willow

Spinning in the clouds,
Daydreaming about love,
I failed to see,
There wasn’t stable ground,
Under me

And I fell,
Lying on my back,
Stunned by the shock,
How could this be?

It feels like I’m in secure arms,
I try to find my smile,
Gritting through this pain,
Drinking in the facade,
Only to settle in the truth of the illusion,
Thinking my beloved had saved me

Quickly the veil of deception lifts,
And I am bound to something other than you,
I lie here trapped in the roots of a weeping willow tree

Bracing the only thing left,
Of this almost empty shell,
Once a loving host to my soul,
I’m slowly dying in this silence

Succumbing to realization of this invisible notion,
That I’m nothing more than the dirt,
Lying under this weeping willow,
Crushing what’s left of me.

Conviction

If are lucky enough to have found love, give wholeheartedly without expectations, without selfishness, love unconditionally, make everyday a day to remember; and there are days we will have our faults, but apologize and set forth again. If you are not giving of yourself, you are not loving the right way or the right one. Your partner should mirror back the same loving conviction, and if love is an empty box, look inside and start loving within.

Street Lights

The last thing I remember I was driving up the street,
Feels like it was a just a minute ago,
Now it’s time for me to go,
Time rushes through when it’s just me and you,
Crawls like a turtle the next six days out of the week,
And all I can do,
Is snatch that mental note,
Adding to my book of our memories,
I stay fixated on your smile,
Remembering it was the first thing I saw as I walked up the street,
Your smile expands so wide,
My heart and soul smiles back at you not once, but twice,
The rest of the day is blurred,
And gone away,
I stand there missing you and you’re still here,
Standing next to me,
Screaming inside for time to start standing still,
I don’t want to drive home alone,
Climb into my empty bed,
Without you there,
And a rush of sadness washes over my face,
Quickly I bury my cheeks to your chest,
Hiding my colorless skin,
Stone washed porcelain,
Where’s my glow?
I know I can’t pretend,
You’re on to me,
You’re saddened too,
Struggling to find the words,
Where we block the word good bye,
Kissing under the street lights one last time.

Rekindled

I remember your gallivanting ways
Never was I one to see the day
Watching off to the side like a breeze that glides by
Rustling your hair and I bet you heard a faint sigh

I missed the sun glisten off your skin
The ocean mist highlighting your kiss
And the dances in the rain

The years passed so quickly like the breath that escapes my lips
Memories of the unknown
Haunt the dreams between dreams
I can’t find

Now you see me and I see you
Captured in each others sparkling, glowing web
And neither of us wants to leave
Feeding our souls with each others wine and bread

I miss the days that I do not know
But thankful to have missed the runaway days
The days where I would have been lost and left behind
Wandering down a drain of last nights whiskey sour

To young and not yet wise
Our spirits had to grow
Had to explore and feel the pain
Dispose of the toxins rotting our brains

Today we dance in the rain
Kiss under the moon
Smile like endless fools
Lost in the love once gone astray
Rekindled today
To last the infinite years
That lies ahead

This Hopeless, Romantic Girl

I reminisced through the thoughts of our past,
I scrolled through thousands of messages,
Months, and months of our endless texts

Love sick puppies,
How we must appear to be,
To anyone who sees the way you light up me,
The shade of blush,
A red rose color brushes my cheeks, and lips,
The porcelain glow

And as I reread,
You touch every piece of me,
My heart skips yet another beat,
Triple beats from yesterday,
And I found myself more madly in love

I felt my heart,
Crashing, burning, escaping,
And yet saved,
Through the pictures, words, and love you bring

Protecting me,
Saving me,
Breathing new life into my broken soul,
My battered heart

I died a thousand deaths,
Waiting, and waiting,
For the love,
Your love

To rescue,
This hopeless,
Romantic girl.

My boyfriend, my muse, lost his father this past Monday to cancer. Him, and his wife was the epitome of true love, and often called the “Notebook” couple by the neighborhood. As many of you know, I throw my soul into writing about this type of love, the Epic Love, and love in its truest form. I have found my twin soul flame, my epic love, my soulmate, and it would be a great honor to me, if you could help me, help them, during the most trying time of their lives.

Thank you for taking the time to read this…

Drenched In A Heated Kiss

Scorched by the touch of a flame,
My soul loves him fiercely,
The beauty of fire,
The glorious colors,
How could I not love him without passion?
There is no other way,
Never will he see a day of lifeless love,
Our love burns passionately,
Brought alive through his eyes,
The reflection of my soul,
Settles the hazy smoke,
Where I wandered lost,
For years,
Without true love,
Struggling to stay afloat,
My dreams,
Scattered in the heavens,
Waiting for the day,
The shadow would lift,
Where my dreams stood,
Absorbed,
Choking in the ash,
I suffocated without air,
Water,
My fire starter,
Relinquished the clouds,
To release my cries,
Heaven’s angels brought him down,
To be by my side,
Fire, and water,
The elements of our souls,
They balance our nature,
Fueling,
Calming,
Settling one another,
Where we find,
Serenity,
Peace,
Happiness,
Passion,
Our infinite love,
Underneath pouring rain,
We stand,
Drenched,
In a heated kiss.

Remembering Yesterday

There is a part of me that mourns,
A part of my soul cries,
A part of me that has died,
And I feel the loss,
A loss that I’m not privileged to bear,
But I do,
I mourn too,
My spirit feels, and hears the souls of others,
I clench to the pain of yesterday,
And I seek to help those heal,
Absorb the tears,
Take away all the fears,
Blend the past with today,
Never to forget yesterday,
Blessing the hearts of those I love to find the peace of tomorrow,
The road within the journey is now paved,
Together we will make our way,
Side by side,
Remembering yesterday.

Until Us

To be madly in love,
Where passion resides not only in lust,
But of the heart,
And mind,
Where a childhood picture,
Swoops in, and carriers your love,
And affection,
Deeper,
Where it is not just cute,
But warms your heart by adding to the depths felt,
A time where I knew of you,
A time of innocence,
The beginning to my end,
Where fate intervened,
Separated us to live,
Experience, and see,
How life would be without love,
Without the love born in us,
Childhood friends,
Who would later learn,
That chemistry,
Compassion,
The edge of reason,
Was nothing,
Until us.

An Epitome of a Dream

Where I do not see the beginning or the end,
Of love,
Or time,
Where my breath is not of my own,
My heart,
My soul,
Beats to yours,
As one,
Where all my pain,
My joy,
My smile,
My cries,
Mirror yours,
I lie in the unknown,
Where miraculously I am home,
Where there are no more fears,
Just hope,
Where everything has taken a back seat,
To the love living in us,
Blended beautifully,
Love so surreal,
An epitome of a dream,
I never want,
To wake from.

In Your Heart and Soul

Fragile little souls,
I won’t let you down,
I’m your rock,
You give me strength,
To teach you the ways of the world,
Giving you hope, and courage,
Your strength resides in me,
And mine in yours,
My little angels,
Today is all we have,
We can make our life grand,
Live a better tomorrow,
Leave your fears in my hands,
I’ll cup them,
And blow them away,
Into the sky,
Off, off, and away,
No more fears,
Mommy is here,
Forever,
In your heart, and soul,
Never to leave you alone.

Run with Me

I took a personalty test to see,
What kind of woman am I…really,
Deep down I didn’t need a test,
But for fun,
I’ll play with the rest,
I have gifts,
Protected because they are all mine,
I roam free,
My spirit loves,
My eyes are portals,
To a time,
Where love was easy,
My touch makes you feel the excitement I contain,
My kiss takes you there, and away,
I speak my mind,
Hold no punches,
Volumes of stories leak from these lips,
You want to make me yours,
My appetite for pleasure,
Keeps you wondering,
What planet am I from?
I’m like a wild horse,
Running through the hills,
My hair is long, shiny and black,
A black beauty,
Galloping in the breeze,
My heart, and spirit,
Roam,
Where I am free,
Appealing, and captivating,
You long to have me,
Sexually limitless,
An aura that reels you in,
Don’t try to cage me in,
Run along beside me,
Join me in life,
Don’t make me one of those dreadful wife’s,
Life is to be experienced,
To love unconditionally,
Endlessly,
With grace,
Acceptance,
Sexually free,
Where I belong to you,
The beauty of a black beauty,
Is all yours,
Won’t you,
Run with me?

I’m lucky to be Alive in the World You Live In

I don’t want to come down from this high I feel from you,
I don’t ever want to lose this loving feeling,
There is no one like you

I have written over a hundred poems about you,
And there are thousands left to brew

You’re an angel,
You’re my hero,
You’re my everything,
I’m so lucky to have you

You’re the stars in my dark sky,
You’re the color yellow in my sunshine

You’re my everything
You’re my everything
You’re the one who steals my heart away

And one day one of us is going to leave this earth first,
And I pray I’m the one to go before you,
Please god let me go first

I can’t live a day where you are not here,
Can’t breathe the air that you can’t breathe,
Can’t live a day on this earth without you here

You’re an angel,
You’re my hero,
You’re my everything
I’m so lucky to have you

You’re the stars in my dark sky,
You’re the color yellow in my sunshine

I’m dancing in this love filled room,
Nothing but the spinning walls guiding my soul,
The love stirs and twirls my skin,
And I’m lucky to be alive in the world that you live in.

You’re my Spark, Blazing My Eternal Light

In the seconds that span across time,
I’ll be loving you with all I got,
Thinking about you each, and every moment I’m awake,
Dreaming about you when I am not

Waiting around for the next time you’re home,
With me,
Sharing a drink,
Sharing a smoke,
Getting drunk on our love

You’re my spark,
Blazing my eternal light,
Setting our love on fire,
Electrifying sex,
I sizzle, and scream in this delight

Can’t wait until I’m kissing you again, and I’m smiling from the inside,
The memories remain burned in my mind,
Holding your hand in this perfect love affair – it’s gold,
It’s everything I was never told

Everything I’d never know- until you,
Until you ruined my soul,
How quickly I forget,
Everyone who came before

The sun never burned so bright,
I never breathed the air so deep,
So tight,
I never knew love before,
Never knew what it felt to be loved by you

You’re my spark,
Blazing my eternal light,
Setting our love on fire,
Electrifying sex,
I sizzle, and scream in this delight

Can’t wait until I’m kissing you again, and I’m smiling from the inside,
The memories remain burned in my mind,
Holding your hand in this perfect love affair – it’s gold,
It’s everything I was never told

You belong to me,
And I belong to you,
The beauty of such profound love,
Love so true

I feel our love in the air,
I feel our love with each, and every breath,
I dream about today,
Tomorrow,
Spending my rest of my days,
With you.

A Crying Rant

I think today I felt the world’s pain,
And my heart tore in the anguish that others bear,
I don’t know why my soul cried,
And why my tears tried to wash my eyes,
I can’t understand the loss of humanity,
Some days I can’t comprehend when I hear people complain about being bored,
Or having a bad day,
What’s a bad day anyway?
Someone pissed you off?
You didn’t get your way?
Can’t you see the sun is out today?
You get another chance at tomorrow when someone is taking their last breath,
When someone is losing their loved ones to cancer or some drunken driver who is out there careless,
Some pointless gunman,
There are many trials, and tribulations in our lives,
So many people struggling just to stay alive,
To scrap something to eat,
To feed a family,
Or their family pet,
The world is dying,
It’s going to shit,
We are poisoning our food,
Killing our bees,
Poaching, and hunting natures, innocent wild beasts,
Gunning down school kids,
Spying on everyone with our useless technology,
That’s warping our brains, and damaging the future of tomorrow,
Where parks, and front yards take the back of the list,
Because our children can’t play in the streets,
Can’t be left alone outside,
To discover,
Enjoy the short childhood that is becoming the norm,
We have to live in fear,
Where the creeps watch,
Waiting for us to look away,
Where innocent children in Nigeria try to go to school,
And they are taken for a fault in someone’s religion,
Their dreams stolen away,
Devastating families, and souls,
Our world is going to shit,
Wars that go nowhere,
Money spent when the money can go towards the future,
Saving our planet,
Education, and mental health,
Giving hope to those who need to believe in a dream,
Our health system is crooked, and rips us off,
Picks, and chooses who gets to live with their god complex on referrals,
A vicious circle when we try to eat healthy, and the produce costs more than packaged food,
Where it’s cheaper to eat a hamburger, and fries than a salad,
Why is there madness in this twisted industry?
Madness in our world,
The madness in our media making the demented monsters
heroes in their fifteen minutes of shame,
Wake the fuck up,
Make a difference,
Be somebody,
Help yourself,
Help another,
Get inspired,
Make today a brand new day,
Your life is what you make of it,
No one can hold your hand,
No one is holding you back,
Stop complaining,
Stop hesitating,
Embrace all there is to offer,
Stop contributing to the negativity,
Start believing in tomorrow,
Sit outside,
Any time of the day,
Look around damn it,
You’re alive,
There are no bad days,
Just a change in plans,
Enjoy the challenge,
Don’t give up,
Don’t tell me your bored,
Write a book,
Create some art that depicts the boredom you feel,
Express yourself in a positive way,
Make a difference,
To yourself,
No more blaming it on others,
Take action, and responsibility,
Read a book,
Make some goals,
Live your dreams,
Find the love you’ve buried in your heart,
And just be,
Be content,
Changing the world one day at a time,
Changing yourself,
Starts with a healthy attitude,
And mind.

I Bear My Soul

My love for you is vast,
and wide,
like the sea who’s home rejoices in the beauty of life,
and all that it has to offer in it’s arms that embraces the fragments of inner mystery,
the many wonders,
and of life itself,
where my love is home,
with you,
in this sea of love,
I awake from a deep sleep,
into this confession,
of an unknown place tied to you,
another mysterious writing moment where the gods summon me,
squeeze my soul to write from the depths of my essence,
to shower your existence with poetry,
my being,
and every inner,
and outer source,
that makes me,
me,
and the gift,
and treasure,
that is you,
I bear my soul to you.

The Promise

I promise to keep the words that flow from my mouth,
There’s a promise in the glare through the glitter in my eyes,
Too,
There lives a promise in my heart to cherish yours,
Forever,
I cannot hide the commitment I was born to have for you,
And with my soul I stain the paper with my blood-stained ink,
I’ll use my breath to whisper, and exhaust every ounce from my lungs,
A promise to love you,
Through the years,
Pass through these loving tears,
To hold your hand through treacherous storms that may brew,
Shield you from the lightening that may try to zap the gold from your heart,
To be your tree that shelters you from the sun,
And wind,
I’ll be a river to cleanse your soul,
And provide you with a drink when your well runs dry,
I’ll be your sky for which to scream at the heavens when you ask why,
And under my moonlight,
My stars will sing you a lullaby to rock you to sleep when you are weary,
A blanket to warm you,
My flesh is yours to feed from,
To embrace and have,
My gift to you,
A promise to push you to reach your dreams,
Hold the commitments you value high,
A buddy,
A pal,
A lover, and a friend,
My promise to be the light in your darkness,
A darkness to accent your light,
The promise,
I give to you,
A dream within a dream,
I make this promise,
To always be true,
Your loving truth,
Tonight.

Baby Lets Go

I wanna pucker up
Kiss the night away
I wanna take you to that special place
Where we dazzle in ecstasy
Get a little high
Laugh endlessly
Like crazed little children
Hysterically trying not to laugh
Oh those enduring moments
I feel alive
With you
Where we forget the pains that are tied
Wearing heavy on our hearts
Hold my hand
Let me steal you away
Baby lets go

No Other Fool

Amidst the sadness that sometimes permeates silence,
In the emptiness driving the distance,
Underneath the questions of validation,
Through the many ponders,
Not knowing my truest stance,
Kept at bay,
A union not tethered,
Manually flawed to loosen the cord,
My weary soul cries,
And through my wept tears,
All my love,
Is still bound to you,
For I could love,
No other fool.

Back to You

There goes another drink to wash down the anger burning inside,
losing count tonight,
numbing my heart,
and mind

pulling away faster than I can say one more bartender,
desperately trying to flip the infamous switch to pull completely away,
you know me,
that is how i do this shit,
flip that switch,
to the point you don’t exist

don’t fuck with me,
don’t fuck with my mind,
i don’t put up with that shit

i can do this,
i know i can,
let me say some prayers,
anything,
anything at all to help me erase the love i feel,
one more drink,
and you won’t exist

it feels one-sided,
there is nothing more than my heart steering the boat into this lonely sea,
you are there,
standing next to me,
but you’re nothing more than an empty sea shell

why you gotta go and fuck with me?
i’m fragile,
and giving everything i have to you,
can’t you see,
can’t you see me bending over backwards proving my honor,
never to disrespect,
and giving more than you deserve,
oh fuck,
what is wrong with me?

time to reevaluate what i mean to you,
what i mean to me,
bartender one more please,
i need to erase,
numb these thoughts,
before i try to crawl out of here,
begging my way,
back to you.
