Mind of a Poet

  1. This song is so relaxing and give me the mood I need to write.

  2. Back then… (8.19.12)

    Writing this poem trying not to spill out my heart 
    But for some reason I feel I should explain how I felt from the start 
    You caught my eye during my college years I knew you were smart
    I started to wonder “how would this man treat my heart”
    I approached slowly but my words never came out 
    Then you spoke like you knew where my head was 
    “Hey pretty lady how’s your day”
    I smirked and responded “I think I’m okay” 
    He said “If you ask me u look fine, I saw your smile from across the way and took it as a sign” 
    Impressed by where the conversation was headed 
    But in my mind a broken heart I dreaded
    I love hard and I know this man had potential 
    For days I avoided the inevitable 
    But he finally caught up to me and questioned my motive
    I told him how my heart couldn’t take much hurt 
    He responded “I understand that sweetheart, but I’m not just after your heart”
    He always left me wondering I had to give him a chance 
    So through this friendship we danced 
    Danced around the “love” portion
    I found my heart opening with ease
    I could not believe I was going to let him in
    He was so into me and me into him how much longer would this friend zone stand

  3. Old Dreamy (9.3.11)

    I dont like this new you

    I’m missing the old one I knew

    Maybe one day you’ll come back to me

    Until then I guess I’m left wondering

    Where did he go

    Why did he lead me on

    I guess I feel into this trap he set

    Like a mouse there was the cheese and I nibbled

    I dabbled for a bit into the ocean of maybe’s

    I dreamt of a future that probably will never happen

    Just a bunch of hopes

    Most of which will never be fulfilled

    Why did I allow this mistake

    Opened my heart

    Now I’m using this poetry as my escape

    I guess our union was not fate

    At the present time it felt more than right

    Now that I review it, it was all wrong

    I fell “in love” with the element of your tongue

    The passion during sex 

    But it was all fake

    I never wanted you as a boyfriend, your not even considered an ex

    Just someone I lusted after 

    I have a new dream now, you’ll always be my old

  4. Why I loved you (8.28.11)

    I loved you, but why I did I could never figure out
    Was this really love or maybe it was lust
    Dedicated years to this feeling I never really understood
    At first it was something good
    But it then turned into many questions
    I groomed you into my “dream” guy
    You turned out as not so much
    Things happened
    We grew apart
    Communication stopped
    All I ever wanted us to be was at the “top”
    Success and everything else
    My concept for us sounded like a dream
    But you were all for it you were my “team”
    What happened to my biggest supporter
    What happened to my lover
    Why does it always end up like this I put so much into something and left with sh*t
    I’m getting so tired of this result
    I’m wondering what I’ve done wrong
    Sitting with my notebook and listening to the same song
    Tryna replay situations that led to this end result
    Tryna figure out why I loved you
    But why I loved you I guess ill never figure out
    Maybe it was something I had to go through to help me grow
    And even if it came back I would still reject it so..
    Stay away don’t try to give your heart back to me
    We were not meant to be
    God has put me on a different path and I don’t see you with me

  5. Untitled (3.12.12)

    When your ready
    I’m jus waiting for the night when you don’t leave
    Instead i can lie on you and listen to you’re heartbeat
    That type of thing soothes me
    I think it fits us
    But only when your ready
    I don’t want to force the issue
    I want you to be able to trust me
    I want to be the only person you have to run to when in need
    I don’t want to be selfish
    I don’t want you to think you won’t be free
    But I do want that comfort that you’ll never leave
    I want you to be my last “boyfriend”
    But also my first husband
    It just feels right when we are together
    But I don’t want to scare you off so I will wait until your ready
    Just know I’ll be here …… Waiting

  6. Cover Girl (1.14.12)

    I feel sorry for the next man who dates her
    All because she hides behind this makeup
    To hide her emotions inside
    She thought this would make her forget about him
    But every dude she passes she thinks about him
    Its like no man has a fighting chance
    She purposely doesn’t give them one
    Because for some reason she feels if she waits back to her he will run
    I feel sorry for the next guy that dates this cover girl
    Because you’ll think she likes you but she doing nothing but comparing you to her old boo
    The one that broke her heart
    The one she will never forget
    The one she will always love
    So I doubt if she has room for you
    Because in her heart he still lies
    Like he is stuck in there with crazy glue
    She not even trying to get rid of him
    I feel so sorry for them
    Them being good man trying to show her more than pain
    But she wants nothing more but to feel just that
    So separated from society she should have a sign on her back
    One that reads: “I’m a cover girl in and out, my heart has been pained, so in other man I doubt, I let my past predict my future so I will never advance”

  7. Did you hear about the rose that grewfrom a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it’s dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concretewhen no one else ever cared. -Tupac (this poem inspired my logo. Thank you Adlai Moss for your creative skill!)

  9. Untitled (1.3.12)

    Thinking back to a time when I actually enjoyed hearing from you
    Weather it was a tweet, text or a facebook message
    Thinking back to a time I enjoyed your company and didn’t matter if I paid the bill
    But now to much time has passed
    To many unanswered questions
    Most would think it was about sex
    But I never wanted to be nothing more than friends
    Because we shared the same interest
    Enjoyed similar movies
    Made each other laugh
    But how could I possibly think I could befriend you
    When all you wanted was to use me for the “gain” of you
    I was your entertainment, there was never any real interest
    I opened up to you and now I feel like a fool
    Silly me, T I’ve told you before everyone aint as real as you
    My genuine open heart is always played the fool
    I should have seen the sign that told me to detour from you
    But in ways in the beginning you inspired me
    That’s what attracted my attention to you
    All I really wanted was to learn from you
    But you’ll never really know it
    Because your so closed minded and closed in that you thought I wanted to be more than your friend
    Welp, now were not even that I don’t even want you as an associate
    I’ve erased your number that was first
    I blocked your twitter that was second
    No longer facebook friends that was third
    Then I wrote this poem that was last
    Because you are now my past
    I don’t desire to hear, see or think of you
    This untitled poem has a title but I’ll leave it blank and dedicate it to you

  10. Man of my “Dreams” (10.5.11)

    I spoke to God asked him to give me forgiveness in my heart
    For those who have broken it
    I also asked him for a better man
    The type of man who understands me
    I know that type of man doesn’t exist
    Maybe I can find him in my “dreams”

    I close my eyes and I then see an outline of the man of my “dreams”
    God is giving me a chance to see
    Possibly my future king
    In my heart I know I’m someone’s queen
    I know I defiantly deserve to be
    So I continue to” dream” with that thought
    I see my outlined man even in my “dreams” I’m scared to approach
    Its a “dream” but it feels so real

    I try to build my confidence but my shyness interferes
    He is starting to fade away
    Am I starting to awake
    I look on the side of me and its another one night stand
    I have to get rid of this fad

    This life is getting old quick
    This life is a bunch of empty feelings
    I know my heart is healing
    But that man of my “dreams” looks real fulfilling
    I know I haven’t fully seen him but I got this feeling

    Man of my “dreams” when I see you again I will approach you
    This time with confidence
    This time with reassurance that you are real
    I close my eyes to imagine
    But all the while you’ve been in my life hidden

    **Message**Sometimes we don’t someone’s worth. We search and search but all the while they have been in front of us. Hidden to us because we’ve never payed them any attention**Message**
