Boo Season

Chilly days


Cold nights

All I want

Is some I can hold tight

No need to give us a name

Relationships are all hype

But its snowing

Saying a winter storm is headed this way

You don’t have to go home

And I don’t want to be alone

The wind chill factor is in the negative digits

Snow on the ground

Layer up on the clothing

Boo Season

Time to get with it

In the summer time

We break away

No hard feelings

Unless you want to stay

But now lets just focus on the present

No need to rush into a future

Enjoy our time for the moment

No need to worry about the sticker price

Things have already been taken care of

Gift wrapped for you

Time to own it

Hot Nights

She calls me


Saying

"I need you"

"Can you come over?"



I put on my pull over

Just like the economy

I bail out

Headed for her house



Rain hits

My windshield

Faster than

The wipers move



I open the door

She gives me a look

Non verbally saying

"I've been waiting for you"



The animal in me kicks in

Kissing and touching

She says

"Take your time this is your's for life"

Drug of Choice

Roll you up


Ever so tightly

Light you up

And then I…….

Inhale

You feel my lungs

But I never cough



You are my white powder train

Powerfully addictive

I should call you cocaine

I snort you in through my nose

Then tilt my head back and let the pleasure set in



My heroin

You are stronger

Than any other morphine derivative

Where you lead I follow

You are the speed ball

For my needle to swallow



The pill that I pop

And I can’t stop

Or is it because I don’t want to stop?

Never felt this good

To be lifted this high

You’re the only drug I’m addicted to now

Yesterday

Can we go back


To the days of the past

Wishing that the good times

Would always last

Me and you

You and I

Down to the earth you were

But still so fly

My lady

My baby

The woman I wanted to marry

White picket fence

The dream

But it will never happen

You decided your love for me

Had ran its course

When you told me you were going out

With your “friend”

It was him

The man that would beat you

Get you knocked up twice

I was the one you stayed away from

But you made him your vice?

Should’ve been me and you together

Weddings bells and our families throwing rice

Today I can say that I’m finally over you

But I also can’t forget about yesterday

Devil's Pitchfork

Get back Satan

You keep trying to tempt me

With forbidden fruit

The devil comes in many forms from what I was told

Be it male or female

You will be able to tell by their actions

Hiding their evil motives

Eventually the horns will be shown

Shy

Pardon me


I hope you don’t reject me

After I built up the courage to come and talk to you

Let me introduce myself

My name is Steve and yours is?

That’s a beautiful name

Don’t be alarm by me kissing your hand

Not suggestive meant by it

Just showing a lady the affection this gentleman has for her

I see you walking around this building in the morning all the time

We speak

I really enjoy your smile

It makes me feel like the world isn’t that bad of a place

The way your hair sways from side to side in a fluid motion

Then after we greet

You pass me

I catch a sniff of you

I recognize the fragrance

I can also tell you took time to pick out how

How it perfectly complements your natural scent

If you have a man

He can’t treat you as good as I can

There is no way he can make you smile as much as me

Laugh

Feel like you’re on cloud nine

Wake up and leave the house

With a smile on your face

Send I love you texts during the day

When you walk in from a long day show you

How much I miss you

All this and more

If you will be mine

Heavy With The Words

The ladies often say
I say the sweetest things
I say them with such conviction
Because at the time I believe them
Whether or not the feelings will change
Like the direction of the winds
Who knows
Finding a new muse
But that doesn’t mean that eye still doesn’t wander
Think about what could’ve been
If you were mine
Maybe in another time
We could be together
Right now the time isn’t right
Blame my mind playing tricks on me
Starting off hot and heavy
Then going ice cold
Out of the blue
Not being consistent
You don’t deserve it
And I don’t deserve you
I’m not ready
Sounds like a copout but it’s far from that
Admittance is the first step to recovery

Heavy Heart

I look in the mirror
And I see
A tortured soul
Too much stress
Making me look old
A heavy heart
Carrying the pain
Of unresolved issues
From loved ones that are gone
Harder to smile with each day
News is never good
Even when its no news at all
Just gives me more time to think
About how I’ve lost control of my life
Never will be able to gain control of it again
Too far off the road
Hitched into the marsh
In my last moments
I think of how I’ve hurt many
I’m sorry
It won’t make things better
But maybe knowing that I am no longer walking amongst you
Will lessen the pain

The Painter

The brush is moist
Broad strokes
It seems
There is little thinking involved
Just action
Happens every time
I paint my muse
Brushing up and down
Then clockwise
You seem tense
But whatever you're holding back
Is released
Once things go counter
Paint dripping
You scream
THIS IS IT!!
Pleased with the master piece
That I just painted for you
However you can't speak
Just lay there and smile

Taken for Granted

As soon
As you open your mouth
A finger appears
Always pointing at me
What did I do now?
Can we please have a week of happiness at least?
You fill yourself falling for me
Then pull away
No one can guard your heart better than you
Please understand
Baby
I'm a damn good man
But I am also far from week
You keep waiting for the other shoe to drop
Flaws on display
Ask and you shall find what you seek
Got a soft spot for you
However I'm strong enough to know
You will never change
So its best I go

Waking Up To You

Sleeping with a
Smile on my face
Dreaming of
Waking up to you

Thoughts racing through my head
The way my heart jumps through my chest
When I
Wake up to you

You're better
Than any kind of coffee or tea
I can slurp on you
Better than any alarm clock
To wake up to

Now that you're awake
And have feed me
I now provide you
A world of my never ending love
Thank you baby
For letting me
Wake up to you

The Mind Wonders

The mind wonders


What it would’ve been like

Had things been different

Not myself

Possibility someone better

Who knows?

Not me for certain

Not the sharpest tool in the drawer

There has to be something greater out here

A place for me

Where I no longer hurt

(C) 2010

Moonlight

I sit here


Perked at the top of this hill

Speaking out loud

Freely

Without fear of being judged

You’re not here next to me

But it’s not your ear

I want to talk to

I’d rather it be your heart

You’re the biggest star

In my constellation

I don’t know how much time I have left

On this earth

Where ever you are

I want you to know

How much I love you

In The Air Tonight

Can you feel it?


The way the winds have shifted

How the air is not thick

Making it hard to breathe

Something is coming

She knows

As she walks into the hotel lobby

For whatever reason

She doesn’t stay at home tonight

A decision that would impact her

For the remainder of her life



A man boards the elevator with her

He comments about how they’re both

Going to the same floor

Innocent as it seems



She gets off

He follows

Turns the same direction as she does

Then drops something

As she slides the key card in and turns the knob

He rushes her

Pushing her inside the room

She fights him with every bit of strength she has

He muffles her screams with his hand



Kicking

Punching

Clawing

She breaks free

Clothes torn

Stubbing out of the room



She runs down the corridor

Screaming for help from room to room

Floor to floor

Finally running outside into the street

A Good Samaritan calls law enforcement

Crisis averted

Or so it seems

Young lady still has trouble sleeping at night

Even when the air is calm

In the night

Under Attack

One day


As sure as I am putting pen to paper right now

We will look back on this point in history and call it

The good ole days

Not because they’re actually good

But because

The world is only getting worse

Sad to say

Think of the world

Our children will be growing up in

I wish

I could stop time

Just freeze right now

Cherish the moment

Live for now

The future is not promised

And if you do get to see it

Think of how dark the days will be

Sticks n' Stones

Words hurt


Sometimes more

Than we care to admit

Bullying

Isn’t always physical

The verbal aspect

Has longer lasting effects

Sinking deep into the mind

If you bother

To get the know the person

Behind the eyes

A tortured soul

You will find

How long can you

Keep this to yourself?

Pretending like

Everything is alright

Inside

Fires rage

Burning

No one makes it through hell

Without some kind of reminder

Flesh wounds maybe

Or perhaps

The nightmares that same to never end

I think of the ones

Young and old

That have taken their precious life

Over what others have said

I pray your soul finds peace

Bleeding Heart

No matter


What my political beliefs may be


I love my country still


They say I am anti you


Not the case


I will forever stand up for you


I just want you to get back


To the greatness that once was


I will speak out against elected officials


Why shouldn’t I ?


They work for me after all


Or so I was told


I salute


All that have serviced and died for you


Past


Present


Future

Snake Bite

The venom
Racing through the temple
Slowly breaking down
Infected
Though they see themselves
As being cursed
How could this happen to me?
First thought
After the receive
The positive results

The Mirror

Sometimes
It's like I am
In a fun house
From the looks
Of my reflection
You see the smiling
The frowns
How I still have a child inside
And how father time has been unkind
The triumph
The torment
Glory
Gloom
I am a onion
Many layers
Some love me
But get too close
And I will make you cry
Smash the mirror
Or face what is looking back at you

Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.8

Motionless

How can we ever
Move forward
If we
Live in the past
Baffled
At how we
Continue
To put the same numbers
Into the equation
But act surprised
When the calculator
Reads the same answer
In order for us
To overcome
We need to move
From the box
That surrounds
And grow

Breakup Poem

First off


I’d like to apologize

For things that are about to be said

Just know

This has been on my mind for a long time

The idea of leaving you bouncing around in my head



I remember a time

When I used to get up

And couldn’t wait to hear from you

Now I walk around

Wondering how you find a way to

Twist things around to make

Any wrong my fault



Doesn’t take much these days

You’re easily detached

Guess you have thoughts of

Other men on your mind



If you can’t see

All that I do for you

How I try to make this work

Then you need to get your eyes check

Problems with men of the past

Have made you not want to invest

You emotions



You don’t seem like you want to be here

And if that is the case

You can go

I will not chase someone that doesn’t want to be caught

This isn’t about pride

It’s about me not being able to help you

So I won’t stand in your way

Goodbye my love

Novel

You’re a treasure


Every day

I make sure I read another chapter

In your book

The more I read

The more I am intrigued

The more beautiful you are

The more I fall in love with you

Sometimes the story is painful

But then it is followed by things

That warm my heart

And touch my soul

The narration

Never gets old

I don’t bother to count the pages

But they keep multiplying

I guess this means

We still have more to write in this book my love

Anchor

If I say a few words to you
Would you listen?

And not just hear



You see I know

When I talk to you

And say sweet things

Being that I have a way with words

You think it’s all game

I want to assure you sweetheart

I mean every word of it

I want to spend the rest of my life with you

Become a family

I’m not in this

Just to blow your back out

Or use you for you’re money

No

It’s deeper than that

I want your mind

I want to see you every morning when I wake up

I want you to be the one I come home to

After a long day of work

I want to cook dinner together

Give you foot and back massages after you get out of the tub

Lay in bed after our kids are asleep

Reading and discussing bible scriptures



All these things

I ask of you

But before any of that can happen

I ask you

To take my last name

Supernova

My galaxy


Has been

Forever changed

The moment

You entered

My stratosphere

Seems this space air

Became easier to breathe

The stars in this constellation

Now form your face

When you're away from me

I wish on them

In hope that ruler

Of my heart returns soon

2nd Chances

What have I


Gotten

Myself

Into?



Everything I think that

We

Have crossed over to

The love zone

It seems

You find a reason

To pull away from me

I know I did you wrong

But that was then

And this is now

I am a changed man

Do you see it?



When you agreed

To take me back

I don’t think

You did it

Just to put me through hell

But it seems that all I get from you



If you forgive me

Then do just that

Not saying erase the past



I love you

And want you forever

But you’re pushing me away
