Part I.



I want to tell him but I’m afraid things will change

I enjoy our conversations
He has a strong voice which ignites my attention
I enjoy his stories
Learning while exploring his world
I want him

Things will change

The time will soon come when a decision will be made

We are both grown
We are both mature
We both want each other
We will unite

I want to tell him
I should tell him
Tell him that I’m officially his
Tell him that he’s my one & only
I could tell him that I love him
But that’s what the future is for
Today, I’ll just tell him I’m starting fresh
I’m going to love like I’ve never been hurt before
& see where it takes me

Hopefully to a part II.

my naked soul

I’m afraid of the world ending
I’m afraid of living a lie
I’m afraid to have love come my way
There’s a lot of fear in my mind
I fear snakes
I fear scorpions
I fear living my life alone
I’m afraid of falling in love while he doesn’t love me back
I’m afraid of having a failed friendship
I’m afraid to trust
I have a deep fear in my body
I fear suffering
I fear homelessness
I fear God
I’m afraid my life doesn’t matter
I’m afraid of being loved
I’m afraid of letting go
I fear the new
I free freedom
I fear change

I am afraid of not having control

10 digits



10 digits doesn’t mean anything to me
A number is just a number
You text & I may reply
You call & I may answer

10 digits is my one night stand
My sex without emotion
My guilty pleasure
When I see numbers, I’m never disappointed
10 digits can act a fool
Within a moment,
I will forget they even existed

Your digits I can’t get out of my mind
Your name sets the tone for a connection
Your name reminds me of our past
Its sets my mind to believe we can do this
We can work things out

If I change these 10 digits to your name
I’m afraid my emotions may begin its marathon
I will remember how seeing your name …
made me smile
made me miss you
made me want you even more

If I change these 10 digits to your name
I may start feeling sorry for you
I may want you back
I may allow your ways back into my life

After reflecting …
your name will go unlisted
So you can call or text
I may reply, I may answer or I may leave it be
Just now know,
your 10 digits mean nothing to me.

HIM

I need you like I’ve never needed you before

I’ve always been afraid to talk to you
I always feel like you’re judging me
I know you have the right to be upset with me
I have done wrong

I should talk to you more
I should believe in you more
My strength is failing
My mental state is fading
I need you

Please forgive me for my wrongs
Please love me again
Watch over me, protect me
Make me think wiser
Make me trust the intangible
Make me believe in you

I’ve always had a fear for death
I’ve always knew you existed
I’ve always felt like I was someone special to you
I’ve always wanted to please you

I miss the peace I used to feel
I miss the comfort of knowing you were around
I miss the days when I knew everything was going to be alright

I miss you.

giving up

I think I may give up
I've been running & hiding 
My feet are sore
I'm out of breath
I need shoes
I need socks 
I need fresh air
I need water
I've been running for some time while
hiding behind bricks trees & cars

I will give up & stop running
I will stop hiding & give up

My soul will be left bare
My heart will be pumping fear somewhere in the middle
I'm scared to try again 
I'm afraid of what could come
I'm not quitting 
I'm just giving into love

happy alone

There’s a reason why I said I’ll be happy alone.
It wasn’t because I thought I’ll be happy alone.
It was because I thought if I loved someone & then it fell apart,
I might not make it.
It’s easier to be alone because what if you learn you need love
& then you don’t have it?
What if you like it & lean on it?
What if you shape your life around it & then it falls apart?
Can you even survive that kind of pain?
Losing love is like organ damage, it’s like dying.
The only difference is…
Death ends but this can go on forever.

far away

You can't outrun your shadow...

*deep breath*

It's crazy how life turns out.
You build up this huge wall to protect yourself then before you know some natural disaster happens & your wall is diminished.
All the hard work you put in to build your wall means nothing now.
You want to act bad & act like nothing bothers you but that's not the case.
You can only run for so long until you get tired & your insecurities get the best of you.

If you talk to a friend, if you tell them how you feel; You should feel better?
Not the case.
Maybe I wasn't cut out to be sociable.
Maybe I was cut out to be lonely & miserable.
Your thoughts can come into reality & I believe that's what I've done.
Nothing seems positive in love, nothing seems promising in heart.
I miss my uncle.
I miss our talks.
I miss the happy side of me he always knew to get out.
This poem is all about me.

A poem doesn't have to rhyme.
A poem is expressing whatever it is that's going on in your head, my head.

I should see a shrink, I should see a pastor.
I can't wait to see God.
He has a lot of explaining to do.
I'm not sure why these thoughts are in my head.
The older I get the worst they become.
I don't fear death anymore but I do hide from love when I really want to grab it from everyone.

Days will get better, the sun will soon shine.
I will be better than I was before.
It's me whom I'm fighting against, its me who I must comfort.
I deal & I deal until my cards run low.
I'm trying to feel only whats good in my soul.
It may not be much but I have some desire.

something's missing

I'm not sure if we should talk & text
You're there & I'm here
Apart from the start
Ive been down this road & my feelings are tired
If it could be so easy
I'll be near you

Years have past & some things are no longer important
I value love like a heart beat

I may be alone
I may wake up half full
I may go to the movies solo, order myself popcorn & a soda
When I have dinner, I'll sit at the bar & let my drink entertain me

All these years I've wanted something fresh & different
All these years I've wanted to love myself to the fullest
All these years I've wanted a uncommon love

Well now I got what I wished for

early morning





The moon will be shining tonight
When I touch you with my hands
Stroking up & down
Making you say my name
Sit on me until you get comfortable
Let my tongue do all the work
When I’m done with you
My backstroke will be all you think of
Come here baby & I’ll take you to intimacy
I will go & go
‘Till you tell me you had enough
Caressing you from side to side
You will be in ah with my moves
I’ll make sure you reach without touching yourself
As I’ll reach while I am inside
Speak to me with your moans
While I show you who’s grown
I know I’m the best by your shivering legs
No one would ever embrace you like me
I’m taking advantage of this night
So this will become our moment for life
Kiss me until we fall asleep
Another early morning with your man to be

valentine.



Days have elapsed & you’re not here
Months have gone by & you’re miles away
It’s been almost a year &
I still remember your lips
Your smooth skin, your ability to make me shy

I remember when I held you
Your body was so soft
Your skin taste so sweet
I remember kissing your neck
While my hands were around you

Could he be mine one day? I asked myself
Time was against us but
I felt special that morning
Knowing you were right there with me
My world felt untroubled

Reminiscing on the time we had
I wish I could have talked to you more
I wish I could have guarded you longer
I wish I could have whispered more in your ear
I wish our meaningful dialogue would have never ended

I know I’m no longer in the running
I lost the race
I just knew you were too good to be true
So delightful, so enduring, so clever
The person you are, I will soon meet again

Someone like you will enter my universe &
When he comes, I will not forget you
But until he comes
You will remain my intangible valentine

uncle




written on 1/10/11


I’m not sure what to do
I’m not sure what to say
I could cry but I don’t want to feel weak
I could laugh but I don’t want to seem happy

Two weeks ago; my life changed
I didn’t realize how strong I could be
Or how strong I could pretend to be

I lost my love
My best friend
My father
My uncle

We always said we loved each other after every phone call
Sometimes in between conversations
He made me laugh; he made me think about my life
He was my angel

I lost my twin
My counselor
My teacher
My mentor

When I’m alone the tears fall
When I’m alone I smile effortlessly
When I’m alone I think about how he made me feel
How I trusted him so

He knew my secrets
He knew me
He knew my heart
He knew me

Two weeks ago; my life changed
But I can no longer be selfish
It was his time to leave me

No more suffering, no more crying, no more pain
No more doctor visits, no more dialysis, no more misery

I learned to never complain because it could always be worse
My uncle was the strongest man I ever came in contact with
My uncle was the best gift God could have ever given me

I am thankful

*continues crying*
