Fourteen Years

Fourteen years ago we met on this day

Every year you had noticed

Every year you’d show this

Look on your face

That you could see me clearly

Everything I was and could be

That what regards you had for me

Was definitely forever unconditionally

Real.

Today has come and tomorrow lingers

Around the corner of midnight

I’m cold tonight, outside and inside

And I will fall into my darkness

With just one push of a finger

You have forgotten

Not just today

But how you use to see me

Your regards that were unconditionally

Real.

Internally Independent

After a long while
I have have stumble upon an epiphany
Of the possibility I was meant to
Be alone like my grandmothers.
They loved hard, was true, loyal,
And gave everything they had
To those their loved
Including giving up their identity and self realizations
To uphold their families
To prove true commitment to their men.
They weren’t recognized, nor acknowledged
They weren’t appreciated until all their little birds left their nest.
Their men had been long gone before that point
And although neither of my Grandmother’s ever loved another man again
They allowed their love for their children to fulfill their lives.
This is the road my predecessors have paved for me.
This foreseeable future is the legacy I have to live up to
I will one day grasp the ideals and buried internal independence
And yank it out of me to become external and protruding
More than likely creating a distasteful trait men will not agree to.
This is where my true independence will breed
When I finally have control on my own life
And when my livelihood is no longer in the hands of another
Just like my grandmothers’
This lonely road I’ll inevitably endure may be the only prophecy for me.

The Fifth

There’s this ache in my chest
A pang of negativity
That overcomes me.
This longing that only intensifies
With time that flies
With distance that lies
I want this gap that separates
Us to close
Where promixty
Physically
Is no more an issue
I hate not being there
Close enough to kiss you
On the bad days
On the good days
Anytime occasion
To offer any sort of tangible comfort
My words are all I have to embrace you with
All I have to fill a love bank with
But as much as we are poets
Words are not enough for poets
Passion has to be displayed in motions
That are tangible
Tangibility makes all of this real
At least for a moment
To celebrate
To mourn
To cuddle just because
That’s what we’d rather do that moment
In person
Your face against mine
Experiencing the same time
Zone are no longer wedged between us
But even so
Even if the gift of proximity were given to us
And I could weave my legs with yours
Over an uncomfortable couch
Catching up on shows
Platonic is the road we drive now together
Forever
No more of that passion we can display
No matter how much the rawness remains
My love for you is so great
I want to keep you in some form
Than to loose you forever
And loose myself along
Attached are our spirits
And I don’t believe in coincidence
We were destined in some fashion
In a way words evade
Despite that facts
I still yearn to be there with you
To give you evidence of our friendship
Being much more than messages typed
And random mail sent
To remind you I’m a real person
To remind me that you are really
Crazy enough to stay true
I really do love you
And everyday I pray for your heart
And I pray for your happiness.
I pray for you to be alright
And that your spirit is taken care of.

September 2016

It’s the kind that’s not gentle
It’s explosive like dynamite
Subtle at first like a fuse following a line to spark
Then without warning complete domination
Even with anticipation
It catches you off-guard by the intensity of it
There’s casual conversation
Then it goes in a little deeper
Digging a little deeper into the soul
The right words are said out loud
To intrigue and entice a simple mind
The words are precursors
To a potential eventful night
Pillow talk always does it for me it’s the best foreplay a mind like mind can be awakened with
Speak in whispers into the night
A little liquid courage shortens the gap between our faces
closer and closer we get discussing life secrets
Soon as my lips touch yours that’s sparking the night alive
and there’s no going backwards
No going backwards not now
not even if I wanted to
I’m compelled to see where this will lead us to
Become invulnerable not knowing
Whether or not you want me just as bad
Or in any moment will cast me aside and rejection
All I know is at this very moment
It’s worth the risk too faced embarrassment
Even if I can just experience your taste
On my lips in my mouth
Any level of experience with you what we will make it worth it
Your flesh on mine
Begins my high taking me into higher
Resolution with my senses
I crave more
More heat
More friction
More of this ecstasy
I become greedy and shove you against me
The only barrier with our connection is the clothing in between
My body wants to just melt into yours
Two become one entity one soul
Even for just a brief moment in time
submerging into that feeling of completeness
I take your shirt off
Pealing over your head and throwing it across your room
You grab my breast with a sense of entitlement
My shirt in my bra come off as I try to free you from the restriction of your pants
The heat of our bodies embracing fondling makes the heat within me rise
Kissing licking biting
You’re making me want you more more than I can even there
He start to attack my neck so savagely occasionally nibbling on my ear lobe
I just begin getting soaked in my unmentionable place about to explode with every motion of you grazing
from my neck to my dellocote to my breast
Making me submit to your every touch
Your lucious lips trail down from my navel down to your prize as you inch my shorts off with every kiss

Letter

Do you ever think we’ll get the chance to revisit that random sliver in time
That rested between our adolescence and adulthood?
Where there wasn’t an us, yet there kind of was?
When we were nothing, but we were also so much?

Where I had no choice, but to declare my unconditional love for you outloud,
Because if I didn’t, I felt that the madness of it would cause me to
Combust
The time when life was already so hard and rough on me thus far
But it only became more so
More than I could barely survive
Survival mode was something I became accustom to trust?
Time when it made sense I only deserved shit
Yet you continued to provide kindness
I self loathed, but your prescence constantly made me back track on that
No matter how dead I felt on the daily, my light would come driving toward you?
Minutes, hours, days, I didn’t care.

Life gaining momentum toward complete adulthood
Seemed too bleak, so gray, so monotoned, so stuck
But to drive hours away to a solitude, to where you were, felt so freeing
The dosage of medicine I really had been needing
The anticipation, the vitamin D, the passion, the drive to keep going, I experienced with you
As much as I try looking elsewhere I can’t find
It kills me that I tried to because all that resulted was more foolish self sabatoging trauma
When all that time I could have asked for some of your time
So I could become inspired
Instead of wasting away and growing weak
I could have simply requested your company and just feed
Off everything I look up to you for
Mind, body, spirit, what more of a human could anyone ask for
I never cared that I placed you on a peddlestool
Because I knew deep in my core, from our first encounter
I wasn’t the girl made for you to look for
Out of my league you were from the get go
But never the less the time you give me I’m always so grateful
Because time is the most expensive currency an individual can give
When it is given, it can never be gained back
I cherish our time because that is when I feel my spirit most alive
When I hold back and stay within my inhibitions, even dormant, my spirit has breath again.

Do you ever think we’ll get the chance to revisit that random sliver in time
That rested between our adolescence and adulthood?
Where there wasn’t an us, yet there kind of was?
When we were nothing, but we were also so much?
Think we’ll get a chance to have another glass of wine
Yours a red dry, and mine the red dessert kind?

Empty

My soul feels empty
With you no longer near it
It feels like my oxygen has lessen
My motivation has vanished
My happines has left along side with you
And now I feel alone again
I know I have to just settled in
This for now until you come along again
All I have now are remenants of you being here
With me
You were so beautiful
The one who could woe me with no words
My someone who understood and accepted
My awkwardness
All I can do is grasp the lingering sensations
You have left behind
In my mind I can feel the perfect shape
Of your jawline
I can feel your strong back
As I remember getting the chance to hug you
From behind

Flickers of Memory

I miss how you would just encapsulate my body into your embrace throughout the night
Just submersing myself into your bodily warmth was my most favorite place to be

I adored how you would kiss me as if you truly cherished me
every contact intense with passion but those that were also light
On my forehead, my navel, my ear, inner thigh
Curiously enough never a cheek

The brush of your fingers tracing my face before you took me in for a passionate french.

A Girl Worth Fighting For

Most girls desire to be wanted and admired
I think most anyone desires this
To be worthy enough to be fought for
To be worthy enough for another to place energy into
To simply be worthy
Our society has shaped us to only accept our worth through the eyes of others
That finding your worth on your own and through your own perception is taboo
Borderline wrong because it’s cocky
I don’t think this.
I think most people want to be fought for
By someone willing to make the sacrifices needed to be with them
The sad truth is most don’t fight for those they want
They are so lazy and selfish to only want to be desired and admired
But choose to not do the same for others
I’m a girl who fought for love
I fight for those I care for
For those I hold with insanely deep regard
Also gaining wounds from battling rejections
But for most whom I fight for
They are worth it at the time
The thing is I have come to realize that I’m a fighter but my lovers are not
I have always thought I was worth someone fighting for me
But as I get older and grow less naive
I know this is all fallacy
My wounds are too great from the hurt they implemented on my spirit
Breaking it down for years
And then receiving a message from a come to Jesus meeting
And now all of sudden turn away from selfishness
At least that’s what they say when they feel they have lost me
I have matured enough now to know I’m no girl worth fighting for
My youth had been spent daydreaming and yearning for this ideal
But I was the one born the fighter
It is my own fault for allowing myself to get attached
And for falling for lovers who are not fighters like myself
Oh how I do wish the object of my affections
Would desire me just as much to fight for me
To find me and to keep me
To have and to hold
Instead I’m just utterly alone in the still silent nights
Only darkness is my present companion
I say my prayers at night
Close my eyes
And hug myself tight as I sleep through the night
Romance is for the birds
I enjoy witnessing others being happy
I suppose I have sinned too much too young
To deserve having my ideals
They are all just illusions anyway
Better to have truth to the reality
Than to be disillusioned
That I am a girl worth fighting for.
