To Poetry: A Private Convo

Posted by Da Absentee on February 28, 2012

You know…

I need more than a moment.

can we sit down, converse

we…I mean, I

need to throw some ideas around

we know each other all to well…

the more the secrets, the more a friendship is held.

You have been there for all my secrets

shoots!

you’ve even helped some unfold

you were there when I first dreamed of creativity,

I didn’t even know,

but you brought simplicity.

You’ve held my hand one to many times

we’ve grown, we’ve understood

we’ve silenced doubters

haters and friends

I know now

you will be here with me to the end.

So with that

I want to keep you in my arms

keep you in my heart

don’t want us apart

your my confidant, my desire,

my fire, I can bring you anything

we can talk and write,

with no tainted flare, your my love manifest

when I close my eyes

you cross my sight.

This might seem corny or cliché

but you are my day, brought me from darkness to light

even when I denied, you used your insight

made me right,

write…

You helped me see

I didn’t like what I had to see

I had left you alone

but now your back to me.

It’s the weather

it’s where I am in my life.

you came and made moments right.

You’ve opened doors and close them

gave me memories, that no matter how old

who or where I am, I will cherish and hold them

your like the girl, the love, the instance

my un-ending romance

my other partner in this dance

we call life.

You make me re-live everything

when I see paper, ink, pen and hand

I bleed to do it again

you torment my soul

make my right, make me wrong

make me dream of growing old

my left; my pause.

You leave me in awe.

In disarray.

There is so much I would like to say.

You make my world complete

I tap your energy to fuel mine

my mind equates, defends

walls are broken, thoughts spoken.

I swear if you were a prospect

you would have me open

I jus wanna get closer

your my drive, drive and do it all over.

Your my imagination come alive

you make me strive, dive

make me reveal inside,

share ,dare and compare

you take me low

and bring me highs

hives…

goosebumps and dimples

couldn’t sum you up in one word

that’s why this isn’t simple

you bring the rush

triple fold.

You’re the embers of my being, make me see things worth seeing and you have always given me a dream, worth dreaming…

“Capture”

Posted by Da Absentee on February 10, 2012

Your my disaster
rage and rapture
I`m bound
so you capture
hence forth and moments after
you capture

capture my love

I want to learn your secrets
from deep within
be the wind to make your bow bend
have you lost in circumstance
that know no end
you capture

capture my love

sunset to sunrise
mesmerize…
caught by your eyes
entranced I…
Don’t want to leave your side
you capture

capture my love

like a moments touch
entrapped in forever
scratch memories
in replay,
day in and day after
you capture

capture my love

I want to gift to you
what you’ve gifted me
wanna know your heart beats
the inner you…
I’d like to capture
like you to me
you capture

capture my love

my morning remedy
my midday dream
afternoon thoughts
nightly scream
like an epiphany
you capture

capture my love

you take my mind
on escapades
fall fast, loving hard
wanna be your strength
for the rest of our days
kiss you, love you, please you
learning all the ways
you capture

capture my love …

I wanted to share some of my other project. This is a poem taken from “Dual Perspective” – Lost In Our Thoughts, this piece was co-written by E. Lyric Johnson and myself . I had started this scribe quite a time before and with just showing her what I had, she quickly completed it. This was one of the final works added to finish the project.

“Encouragement Cycled”

Posted by Da Absentee on February 3, 2012

Attempt your goals like birds at flight
with the absence of light;
tunnels can come to scatter.

Everything becomes black becomes one
no walls no fraction;
use knowledge as a candle
become the wick that burns through
thinking the thoughts that bring light to you.

Somebody’s always saying something
establish strength, flaws and foes
be the rising sun make the cock-crow
cultivate;
for what you reap you sow.
All things need time to grow
differentiate;
so you can spot a change in flow.

Re-iterate;
do all the good things once more
repeat;
positive outcomes
like before…

There is so much negativity in this world. Do we really need to add more? So many people just throw hate and envy and bad intentions. This one is dedicated to uplifting everyone including yourself.

Stay Positive…
