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

Leave a reply

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

1 Reply

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

No

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

….TBC

Beautiful

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of you

Sometimes I forget your name but never your face

The bodies change but the feeling is always the same

Not necessarily a Hollywood profile

Still haven’t found a star that shines brighter

Specially when you smile, damn J.Cole said it best

Your crooked smile is still my favorite

I was hoping you’d want to stick around for a while

I can’t offer you much but I guarantee none will take you higher

I’m not asking forever and I’m not asking for just one night

But if that was all we have let it be

Let’s make it memorable

I want to forever remember the scent of you

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.
