Love Ritual

2 Replies

Sometimes I love you and sometimes I hate you it’s a thin line,

So I bite my tongue and my pride?

Yeah I swallow it, even when I’m right

Choosing my battles, it’s a constant inner fight

It’ll be alright in the end as long as we have each other,

there will always be another ready and willing

I’ve tried it and they don’t compare to what you’ve got me feeling

Shits getting kinda serious you used to be a hook and now you’re the Muse behind my lyrics

yeah and I wouldn’t stop it even if I could,

love is good specially when it hurts

kinda ironic how our fighting turns into something iconic

its become a ritual,

The outcome’s so good its becoming habitual

we always end up next to each other

I low key think the roughness gets you purposely all hot and bothered

over insignificant shit

fireworks and hair pulling and we forget why we were upset

Good things aren’t easy and we could be great

What do you say?

you and me against the world till the end.

My Gift To You

Leave a reply

Being You means that every day should be a celebration

Today is extra special because it’s the day you took your first breath and

You deserve all that is breathtakingly beautiful in the universe

If you let me, there is nothing in the world I won’t do to give it to you

But for now I’ll keep writing you these poetic verses

When a writer falls in love with you, you live forever

So I gift you immortality on your birthday

If my melodic sonnet shows you how amazing you are

My rhapsodic lyrics have served their purpose

I want the world to see you how I see you

May they one day feel what I feel whenever I am near you

Beyond handsome your whole being is beautiful, I see your worth

Not even close to what you deserve, just an homage to you on your day of birth.

You

I needed to see something different

I had it all but something was missing

I prayed, I waited and you came

Undeniably heaven sent

You showed me all things beautiful

You did that for me

Can you blame me for wanting all of you just for me?

More than physical

I love your soul

I see your heart

There are no words to express

The peace I feel in your embrace

Flashbacks of your smiling face

The last thing I see before I go to bed

Sweet dreams of my head on your chest

Listening to your heart mimic my beat

It’s almost religious

How you were exquisitely designed just for me

I prayed and you came

Undeniably heaven sent

All I see is beautiful

Because all I see is you

You came

You left

But what we had will forever remain

Eternal love

Not The Same

They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder

Maybe we both needed to be just a bit farther

We both thought it would all be the same

But there were no butterflies when I saw your face

I could not explain this awkward detachedness

It was you but it was different

This wasn’t the same person I had been missing

Flashbacks of when your hugs made my heart skip a beat

You had not yet kissed me and I already couldn’t breath

Who are you and where is He?

Same face…

Same body….

But not the same heat

Could it be that you’re the same and it is I who has changed?

That as time went by my love for you was replaced?

Was it always a facade?

I keep searching, please help me find you

Is it that I am in love with Him?

The Him that you no longer are?

Is He the one that still holds my heart?

Maybe it’s because you left

And with absence love was replaced with resentment

How do I explain to you that I’m in love with the memory of you

But I just don’t love you

I feel closer to you when you’re gone

Loneliness compliments the sadness of my loss

The distance makes the idea of “us” a comfortable existence

As I continue to yearn for the “we” that is now missing.

Him

Him

Hombre

Incredible

Manly

I know nothing about him

Yet I know everything

And I knew I was in love

His presence exudes sexuality

His lips

His touch

His heat

All of him

Just for me

Just maybe

Carnal Bliss

His kiss on my lips

On all of them

His gentle strength

Heaven in his embrace

I thanked God

I thanked deities

Blasphemy at my peak

Skin to skin

He gives me life

And yet

He kills me at the same time

I Heart You Not

You lied to me

And you made promises

That you couldn’t keep

Did it on purpose too

But maybe not maliciously

We fought

We argued

Said things we didn’t mean

But we said them cuz we knew they’d hurt

We wanted to cut deep

Caught up

heat of the moment

We weren’t trying to lose

Scarred battle wounds

we didn’t win the war

We ended

Called it quits

Go do you and I did me

Loose ends

Left hurt feelings

stomach in a knot

Dead flower petals of he loves me

he loves me not

Thinking we should talk

but knowing it’s too late

Cant fix what was never meant to be

From the beginning

call it density

Or maybe fate

Cuz we both know it’s best we went our separate ways

Even if we could try to recreate the past

the new me wouldn’t want to

Some things are better left broken

Embers turned ash

The truth hurts

It’s a fact

Heart in a hurst

leave it at that.

We can hardly breath

Caught up in the moment

While he kisses me to sleep

His heartbeat was my lullaby

And I was his tantalizing peak

We live for the nights we can’t remember

With the ones that we won’t forget

Tonight we will remember it all

Waking up without a hangover

Overdosed on him

We made our own music

Moving to our own beat

New scene

we’ve been here before

He gave me a feeling

It’s what I’ve been looking for

He calls me his baby

We belong together

If we keep this up you won’t be able to breathe

Without me next to you

I can’t help that you have the same affect on me too.

The Act Of Love

Leave a reply

We played our role

Academy performance

Perfect couple

You and Me

Always together

Picture perfect scenes

Me and you

Like a novel

Like a play

Practice makes perfect

And we couldn’t let them down

The audience

Always watching

Took no chances

No double takes

Scene one

Cut

Straight to the chase

You and I

We took a bow

As I forgot our vows

To love you forever

Show stopping

Putting on a show

For the world to see

To see us

As we should be

And now I see

I forgot the most important thing

I forgot to love you

Dimming lights

Empty stage

I did almost everything right

Perfect hair

Remembered all of my lines

But I forgot to love you

Perfect lips

Glossy like you love them

Didn’t miss my cue

But I forgot to love you

Now the credits

I was the leading star

I took the applause

I took the glory

This was my show

And I glowed

I basked in the lime light

I had it all

I had you

Red carpet

Elbow rubbing

A star

Amongst the stars

I missed my wish

Amid the mist

Of my ignorance

To your significance

I forgot to love you

Poetic Affair

3 Replies

I was his

His personified muse

He was my heart

My love letter

We never slept together

but we made love

I was his

Passion on paper

I left my mark

on his heart

Tattooed

on his left ventricle

He carries my face

Engraved

in his memory

Latenight

Whispers my name

Sweet

like the Hennessy

on his lips

Like the scent of him

Strength

mixed with blunt truths

Kush breeze

I was his

I am his fix

His soul calls out

Bleeds for me

Innocently

evoking

Intoxicating

Passionately

Explicit dreams

Of his ink

dancing with my ABC’s

Love dream

turned love story

Love story

turned

burnt love letters

Morphed love

Now ash embers

Love You Too

Leave a reply

Love
Why do you always have to play
Love games?
Pretending like all is okay
But I can’t ever have what I want
Lazy love
Always half-assing
It’s always something
Makes me want to break up with you
If only I could
I’d run the other way
Instead of wanting you to stay
I’d change my address
And my number too
I’d even give you a fake name
To keep me away
Far away from you
Then you’d never find me
Until you catch me off guard
Like you tend to do
When I least expect it
Or maybe I let you find me
Seems like I keep on falling
But always for the wrong type
Foxx knows my pain
So I let it burn
Usher no regrets
Someone always told me it’d be this way
You love someone
but aren’t reciprocated
They’re too busy
loving someone else
While you’re too caught up
Can’t see the one that has you on a pedestal
Losing is inevitable
Trying to play love’s game
Unfair advantages
Of Love’s blind ways
