I’m on the EDGE
& I’m FALLING for you
I’m on the edge
As I pledge
My Immortal love

Endless stars fill the night sky,
Dazzling– bewitching– stars.
Stars that could stun
With a simple twinkle.
Many nights spent stargazing.

You want to be great?
Don’t try to IMPRESS the rest
Just EXPRESS yourself.

A girl told me once
Not to call her “sexy”.
She said its kind of insulting in
But after she broke it down for me
—kicking her knowledge—

I gotta make it...
Kept the world waiting
With my procrastination
But tell the Nation I’m on my way
My clothes are still in the dryer

At the end of the
day, what’s an “United States”
without unity?

You call me your
Knight in shining armor
Because after your DARKEST day
I manage to BRIGHTEN your nigh
You call me your

Poems hold a full conversation.
You’re Face-To-Face with the pag
My words are my Eyes...
As you read along you’ll
SEE what I’m saying.

I miss you like crazy!
I miss the laughs! I miss your la

Separated myself from
An uncivilized civilization
And traveled into the wild
Where I can hug trees and see pea
I am a wild man,

Where did I leave me?
Have you seen me lately?
I’ve been missing for a few days n
Truth is, I can’t even button dow
The guy in the mirror.

Your eyes are paralyzing
Your smile is contagious
And your lips are addictive
Your body is an island
I bath in your fountain of youth

You make me feel like dreams do co
in it.
I really want you..
So, I really want you to want me.
I want you to really want me.

I’ve given 1,000 speeches
Yet, in your presence I’m speechl
Being face-to-face with the epitom
Is truly thought numbing–
too surreal.

Faces are starting to look familia
This is where I pull
My vanishing act–
Entering the darkness
With silence you’d

Step outside your comfort zone..
now you’re one of us.
Doesn’t It feel glorious?
Our two Worlds collided
When we survived it

Don’t tell them you hate them.. th

We must love and appreciate each o
Stop judging and critizing so much

Compeers surround,
I’m filled with tourist.
If I hit the ground
Would I make a sound?
Here,

I’m feeling like a
Reporter with breaking news
But no camera crew

What is “black privilege”?
My “brutha”, you have no privilege
You have but Right.
Yes, you heard me right
You have but one.

Man...
What a night.
I did this and tried that
I’m everything tonight.
Whoa...

I’ve set sail into the
Deep dark blue.
I’m a Navy seal
With no crew.
Expatriated.

I just want to hold you–
...the whole you...
If you ever need someone
to console you or to control you,
Let me be the one you go to.

Let your pen be your
Knife, and paper be your wrist
Bleed onto the page

I want a bird so
I can set that bird free and
See if she comes back.

I’ve been moving through this pool
Dragging these cinderblocks—you’d
I’m tired, tired of everything;
Tired of the same ol’ thing, tired
Animals, and tired of human beings

The angst of life
Keeps me up at night
Thus I write letters
To or For
The love I fight for–

Grass...
Forever it shall last
Never straying away from its task;
Whatever that may be.
No one really knows

It’s ironic that you crave “beauty

I haven’t seen you in a lifetime
And I haven’t felt this way in ge
My urges are
Hidden and forbidden
For now.

Minds, brighter than the sun
Reading poetry for fun
We’re the poets
We’re romantics

I’m trying to stay
Optimistic about this
“happy ending” thing
