I’m feeling a bit under the weather.
Drank half of my fifth, while
The night sky is quilted by stars,
I’m drifting with the liquids,like
A message in a bottle.
Which contains a map,
In its contents, a couple of letters
That lead me straight to you.
X marks the spot, but
We believe our future will last,
Beyond our imaginations.
I dream to love you in so many different languages, looking in hopeless places.
I’ve had you and lost you,
All within the same time.
I wished I would’ve looked over my shoulder,
Instead of trying to hide my tears.
I try not to act scared,but
All while acting fearless,I’m feeding the fear.
These are no longer sirens,these are battle cries.
Scared of that being the last I’d get to hold you,
In this war of the worlds,
I now walk these streets alone…remembering–
How you were once here. We shared the same air.
The same breathes you took away – this city
Captured in your spirit,and now you’re everywhere but here.
I said I feel a little under the weather,
This must be hail.
Ooooo but heaven is only some miles away,
I see it in your stares.
You smile and it give me life, maybe twice…
If this was according to my plan.
I don’t want to hurt you, but know the scars are still there.
Tender.
We all have flaws,we see the ones we choose to.
Become infatuated with the imperfections we are use to.
In flight,on a search for your reassurance
I’ve arrived at the beach, found our laughs buried in the sand.
Your touch pressed in the waves on my skin,
Revitalizing.
It’s hard to be with you, without you.
I would rather be alone together.

Sugar Honey Ice Tea
If loving you is wrong, then I want to be right, cause I heard opposites attract, and I know it’s true because when I was in the dark you were my light. Like iced tea, and batteries. Two negatives only make a positive when they are multiplied, but I’m not ready for children. So until then instead of hearing me, I ask you to listen.

Exposition
Love is easy to fall into.
Who ever said this road we walk would be smooth?
Who guaranteed that life would be easy?
Life’s guarantees are as passionate as an oppressors persuasion .
Choice was not a option, we were given this life – as we attempt to live.
But we were handed it, knowing that, majority would break from the pressure of merely attempting to care.
And yet here you are before me standing in all Loves Glory.
Overwhelming?
Check….. yet I stand strong before you, your queen : Candace
Nefertiti of your entirety
Cleopatra of your roaming soul
You’ve ceased my heart collapsing.
I have turned your Dark Empire and into your Golden Age.
Like the oceans I draw you in..
You that is my beach, my paradise.
Rest your head on my chest and listen.
As this heart you forged takes the form of gold.
The beats are as vibrant as the chants of hands that beat against an Afrikan drum.
Playing is the melody that eases your mind from the sleepless nights.
Nights that you ponder in your thoughts and get lost.
Lost as you search for a path back to reality and stare into midnights blanket.
Seeking and searching for a journey to revelation.
Knowing Love would be in Vain without dreams that break beautiful beats of happiness and sorrow.
Those who seek Loves Redemption can be redeemed through the code of righteous living.
Knowing no true direction,we walk blind –
For our hearts are the compass’ that lead us to everlasting love.
Love in which you and I become immortals within the land we’ve created.
Every tear drop infested with emotions exchanged with a kiss.
For our Love is custom fit for only You and I.
For only our Hearts link through
Loves aorta,
Never to be severed.

Please Don’t Catch Me
Placing my heart in his hands, he embrace it.
Trying to describe falling in love with him, is like describing colors to the blind.
My heart has finally realized what my head has known all this time..
He Loves Me.
He looks into me, my eyes feeding his ego..
I mean
I catch myself being so deep,
that I can see the reflection of my smile taking the shape of his soul.
He Loves Me.
This is how I express my love to you —
Descriptions of him taken by every pleasurable adjective
I can try to further elaborate my feelings…
But I begin to make up words..
He heals me.
I fell so hard into this hole we’ve dug, that we know we can never stop falling.
It’s not just one thing, or somethings, its everything.
He is my everything, a gifted by his presence everyday?
He kisses me, I inhale his seconds of breath.
I sink into his mouth
He ingests my every reflex,
Dreams have become a tease, cravings and wishes of you here,
have been replaced with the warmth and realness of your skin.
Love is an endless battle, he fights for me.
I’ve fallen for all that which my warrior defends.
His love for me,
but
I cant sleep, if I do I dream about you…and when I dream, I cant sleep…
Its too hard to be without you..
I whisper in your ear the depths ecstasy, I long for you to see.
I wish I could lay my head on your chest, allowing you to be all I need…
Suddenly,
He holds me.
In the still of the night.
I am restless.
He places me on top of him, and I fall asleep
to the rhythm of his heartbeats.
Even a thousand miles away,
He loves me.
Unconditionally.
Even with a heart of gold is my talk still cheap?
Music isn’t soothing to me.
This page is comforting my spirit, but my body is still lonely,
I miss you…
My pen strokes illustrate your energy.
I begin to float towards him.
Hijacking the wings of hopes and prayers to get to you, any way I can.
If I make my wish, will you still grant it?
The shooting star heading exactly in the direction I want…
But I’m taking my time with him…
Everything about him makes me want to exceed all boundaries.
Surpassing our present reality;
Moving mountains, Throwing rain…
His body as my promise land,
His heart as my home.
I LOVE HIM.

Held Captive
This is another poem from my heart, no different from the rest.
Only this poem is for his lips and eyes only.
As my thoughts continue to orbit around him,
He proceeds to be present in mostly every sense of mine.
I can only touch him through paper.
I see him in a day dream ; his phantom appears in every angle I look at in my life.
The only way to taste him is through the lips of my own.
Only made possible by capturing the quintessence every kiss.
I hear him.
Through anticipation of our body’s collaborations – at least that’s how I describe it.
This beauty of mine has me enclosed between the walls of
Love, Passion, and Desire.
The enemy of confusion.
There is one way to escape, but I have no of fleeing this captivity.
He is the catalyst for this art, some may call poetry.
In my own words…he is the muse for my visible, literary, emotional thoughts…

This Plane
As I’m on this plane, I’m writing our names in the clouds.
Though I miss you extremely despite the elevation I still feel high.
It’s almost impossible to explain your touch, the clouds know it’s hard to keep dry eyes.
This seat is uncomfortable because it’s not your lap.
My body will ache for some months because your not attached, and all these people need to shut the fuck up because they sound nothing like your laugh.
When the train arrived your words hugged me the whole ride, giving me the comfort of knowing this isn’t a goodbye.
That whole ride I cried, I still feel as though I’m dying inside.
Instead like the winds you kept strong for me.
I saw the love in your eyes and felt the warmth in your heart.
I know things will change temporarily but what remains is the love in our hearts.
I’ll always be there and you’ll always be here.
No one nor thing will be able to fill the void in our hearts.
A race against insanity, seems like life never wants us to get a head start.
I feel miserable, I want to cry, but deep inside I know my tears aren’t invisible.
I don’t these people bugging asking me what’s wrong.
I might scream, and curse…cause deep inside I wanna strap something to chest and let them all feel my hurt.
I’m shaking my head.
I keep complaining, and complaining this feeling isnt forever.
Already my heads getting fucked up, no more time to be selfish…
this battle is against time.
I have end this because the more I write,
the more tears that build up.
Just know that I’m with you.
I Love You.

Journey of a Gemini
The Journey of a Gemini
I’ve been on this journey seeking the other half of me.
My eyes have grown weary & my heart weak.
My head hung low in disappointment.
To the point I’m trying to reach, each step seems as though I’m getting further in distance.
I sit in isolation, sand storms caressing my mind, blizzards comforting my heart, and the great flood drowning my soul.
Heat stroke seemed only to be the only thing comforting me.
Until he came and sat beside me.
I felt his ear to my soul…
His thoughts beating to the rhythm of my heart.
I smile because he’s found me.
The Journey of a Gemini
I’ve sought to find the other half of me.
I am his sun.
He is my moon.
I wonder if knows he’s found me in my worst storm.
That the rain just isn’t nature’s cry for help, but my own spirits.
I want him,
I want him to understand, his smile is my sunset and his eyes are my ocean.
Understand he is my place of peace,
Someone who hears my screams and yells back to comfort me.
I run my hands through the sand, his trails and tribulations.
His breaths kindred to the night waves.
He is my reach past the stars, and the sky…with him I feel no limits.
And
If I am to him Queen, He is my King..
Pour out our thoughts.
Mix our Love.
And build a barricade around our sandcastle.
This is the Journey of a Gemini.
I realize what lies beyond his eyes
&
The difference between what lies hes been told, and what lies in his heart.
As I lie in his arms
He embraces my anticipation.
This journey reflects on my rebuilding of trust.
Does he know he is the foundation?
Everyday will be Summer time, because I will be his sun shining light on his journey as well.
This is the story of a Gemini.
I’ve found the other half of me.
He knows the other half, nobody has ever known,
He is the half of me, I’m always been afraid of showing
but
Somehow through this poem, my feelings for him just flow.
Massaging his doubts..
Our fingers interlock, and we’ll begin our journey together.
The only dream I look forward to, he seems to be better than reality its self.
I wonder…
Is this journey of a Gemini only a dream, because if so fuck that…I want him inside of me.
Not only thoughts, but in feelings,
not only by touch is he healing
but he comforts me, when it feels as though I am emotionless
Incapable of affection…
I feel so Emotional that I am Emotionless
I often wonder if he’s testing me…teasing me?
Love has no boundaries, I stopped to take a break…I gave up on that shit!
I look ahead, and loves found me.
Now I wonder…should I further this journey?
Mother these problems?
Become acquainted with long lost feelings?
Curse the father of my thoughts?
Pet the idea of falling in love again?
Love hurt me before, my chambers turned ice cold
&
My rib cage turned into jail bars.
I feel myself unable to escape.
I wonder if he knows this is me?
Am I accepted?
All I ask for is my love to be respected — and if wants to
He can grab my hand, and join me.
This is the journey of a Gemini.
I am half asleep with my eyes wide open.
I cant see him, but I hear him, and I feel our love growing closer.
He yells, “Love Stinks!“
Well that love stench is me, because I’ve been traveling for to long on this damn journey.
But
What can I say?...It’s the Gemini in Me.
