From Afar I write line
After line for her
I don’t even know her
I have this strong urge to show her
What her words mean to me
I have risen out of dreams
To craft lines about her mind
And a pair of brown eyes
I have yet to even see
I read word after word
Then get trapped in a world
Where my sun and my moon
Both kneel at her feet
Her poetry is deep
Every verb feels urgent
Each syllable important
God wouldn’t dare critique
She is poetic perfection to me

SunDaze While laying bare among the nothingness the day will bring
I wished you were here
Bodies intertwined, flesh upon flesh
Priorities at rest
Our beautiful lazy mess
A marathon of us
Love in minimal movements
Soothing, the way your presence
Always calmed me at the core

frankincense and myrrh I fell victim to her
The moment I arrived in her presence
Unbeknownst to her I was dead upon arrival
She rivaled the appeal of women
I’ve seen in dreams
Mirroring silhouettes existing between planes of fantasy and reality
But she was real
I could breathe, touch, feel her
I closed my eyes and began to dream her
Despite the fact we shared the same bed
Blanked by cloud of frankincense and myrrh
I reeked of her, her aroma pleased every sense

MITM ​I know she loves me but I don’t know why
I stare in the mirror and see a regular guy
An irregular heart paired with a clouded mind
Flawed from head to toe without a fix in sight
I wish I could meet the man she sees
I’d love to ask him a couple of things
Like how does he smile in a world so cursed
How does he laugh when he’s filled with hurt
What makes him confident the spark will stay when the flame he loves burns miles away
I’m lost, searching for an answer
My insecurities spreading like cancer
I wish my confidence matched my height
I’d be the person I always hoped to be tonight
Face the man in the mirror with my head held high
Without the urge to question why she’s in my life

SOS Lured into her sea
Hook line and sinker
My shoreline felt empty
I knew I would need her
The lighthouse shined brightest the nights she called
I wish I could foresee the engine stall
She took the wind out my sails when her thunder fell
Down on me like a cloud of hail
Now I’m lost at sea
Above her coral reefs
Mocked by the beauty her presence brings
SOS sirens erupt from my chest
I guess loves compass was incorrect
My heart has gone overboard
Without a second guess
It’s only fitting that my mind be next
I’m sinking
Going down with the ship
Life’s fleeing
I wonder if I’ll be missed
Now I’m sitting here on her ocean floor
Surrounded by her matter
I no longer matter anymore<... |
Golden I was told everything that glitters isn’t gold
That I must dig deep to uncover ones true value
I have only begun scratching your surface and can already see the glow
You emit an aura of someone destined for greatness
I see hues of love, patience, family, and drive
All packaged behind those piercing eyes
Never mind my stares, I’m attracted to your glare
No matter the point of view, I can’t keep my eyes off you |
Untitled The want is still there
I thought I had enough
I was wrong
I’d open your flood gates
and drown myself if it
meant the emptiness inside
would be filled with you
you walk me to your ledge
then dare me to jump
and like the fool I am I leap
eyes wide shut
the words you write
take my breath away
but you take me to a place
where my exhales no longer matter
you found a way to give me life
your mental stimulation
has touched me in places
those past wandering hands
always managed to miss
you have a way of taking me places
I always wished I’d go
but never had the courage
to embark on my own
you lead the way
this area of love and lust is new to me
I used to broadcast my love physically
now I craft the lines that mimic
my feelings inside
in the past I was the touch
with you I am the mind
you seem to be the spine
that’s keeping me together
I walk because of you
stand tall because you
When I take this leap of faith
I will not fall bec... |
Ode You’ve been called beautiful
They kiss you passionately
You have the uncanny ability to bring women to their knees
They praise you for all you’re able to do
The spots you’re able to reach
The allure your presence brings
Sometimes I feel like I only know love because of you
I’m jealous of the attention you receive when they’re introduced to you
She always seems to open up and let you in
You’re able to take her places she has never been
Like to the stars and moon without leaving my room |
eMinor I know what you’re capable of I’ll try my best to keep my distanceYou always reek of lust,And the occasional post *** cigaretteI’ve seen what you’ve done to men,With your pen, you open doorsCoax them in then lead them out,Drunk on love, wanting moreI know all of this because,You’ve been mind ***ing me for weeksIt wasn’t your intentionThe blame solely rest on meThose words on my computer screenWere never penned for novice eyesBut I love ***ing with your sexetryYou start a line, I start to riseYou straddle me, take controlStimulate with every proseLine for line, connecting lipsBackspace, let’s sex againWrite me longer, don’t lose steamI’ve recited you in many dreamsKeep me going, make me whole*** my grammar… lose control       Â... |
Peek Inside If she was able to look
Inside my heart
On nights we spend apart
She would no longer wonder
With whom my loyalty lies
It would be clear as day
Exactly how much of me
She actually consumes
My heartbeat would mimic
The rhythm of her favorite song
Her laughter will echo
Throughout my eardrums
My tongue will remember
The taste of the perfume
She sprayed on her neck
The last time we made love
She would be able to trace
Her fingerprints
Up and down my spine
And feel the warmth that remains
At the spot her hands last rest
My body would not be soiled
By another woman’s touch
My mind will not be clouded
