In my mind I can see your eyes, They tell me the truth through your lips’ lies, They want me to love you and protect you loyally, Fight for you, smile and cry with you, treat you like royalty, They see into my soul, I see into yours, They know that I will, you’re so worthy to fight wars for, They’re searching, looking, hoping I’m real and true, I close my eyes, mine could never reveal how I feel for you, The truth is in my touch, my arms, my hug and my laughter, Trust me, come with me to happily ever after.

Some say Love ain’t a game, but I say otherwise, otherwise how do you explain all these dang lullabies, “Does he give you butterflies and cause your blood to rise?”, “Did he find your glass slipper, does he have the perfect color eyes?”, It’s a lullaby, it puts many to sleep as they recall The story in their head each night they weep a waterfall, It’s hard on women no doubt, there’s no denying, Men get broken in five ya’ll expect us to keep on fighting, On a battlefield too many wounds a loss of blood then there’s a death, It’s a mess, You keep drainin my heart of [...]

How come I gotta be so tall, Why is it I hit my head on everything & people assume I play basketball? How come I can’t always just be myself, Why is it some folks look at me and think I wanna be someone else? How come high school had to be so much hell, Why is it adults dissed my mom for always bein gone but never offered help? How come they can’t get that plank out their eye, Why is it their kids are havin kids and they’re always justified?

How come when I leave voicemails you don’t return [...]

I remember your voice, you called my name then bounced in a week, Was it a hoax or were you even looking for me? I ran as quick as I could, I must have spooked you, Scare too easily, we didn’t get from “black to blue”, A fact it’s true that you bring smiles and tears, Meanwhile I’ve been in exile for years, Unlock me, I need to breathe the beauty of hearts mending, Ideals bending with the feel of heaven descending, A glance, a look, a smile and a heart is took, tooken and taken, Flowers, candy and soft words of [...]

Long walks, gentle talks, Step outside your little box, Knees weak, lips on cheek, Listening to soft whispering, Losing pride, eyes wide, Can’t speak I’m tongue tied, Music plays, bodies sway, My heart is dancing on display, Vague plans, holding hands, You’re the only one who understands, Rainy weather, not forever, Face it all with us together, Phone rings, my heart stings, Now I’ve woken from my dreams.

I hate the door that lets people leave, it opens and closes with such grace, such ease, I hate the floor that catches their footsteps, worn walkway concealed their creaks while I slept, I hate the air that didn’t give them breath for “good-bye”, no tearful hugs or deep meaningful look in the eyes, I hate the 5 seconds it takes them to forget, my name and my face must fade so quick, It gets old, and makes it hard to get close, because I hate that it’s the ones I care for the most.

Let me let go of the things this person said, hurt people hurt people, I understand it in my head, but my heart won’t accept it, it only hears rejection, now everyone’s suspected of making a similar impression, not fair to them to be accused of a crime not committed, but my heart pushes out and says they would’ve did it, Shadows & Light dance to the rhythm of life, my pillow soaks to [...]

Smooth skin, a breathless glance, my world spins when we touch hands, soft hair, soft heart, soft face, a thousand moments in your soft embrace, a heart lost, a beauty found, my feet have lifted off the ground, your eyes are kind with endless beauty, your melodic voice is calm [...]
