The Birth of The Love Song

In the studio coolin
Alone, only light is that of a distant lamp
The beat is on repeat, yet I still can't figure out where I want to take it...
Slow tempo, deep bass, dainty treble
The harmony of the Jill Scott samples sending me into a deep cruise control...
I close my eyes and float into a safe haven unbeknown to the rest of the world...
There, only You and I exist
Twice the passion shared within each kiss
I whisper softly in your ear everything about you that I missed...
I clap my hands and A car appears...
I let you in the passenger and slide into the driver...
It begins to rain, as we tilt back our seats and gaze at the glass ceiling...
The pitter patter of the rain against the windshield soothes our overworked souls
I slowly reach over and caress your hand as you match my stare and smile back
The rain slows to a stop and the Moon peers through the remaining clouds
I help you out the car as you join me on a midnight walk
Barefoot we wander, hand in hand, across the beautiful beaches of Spain
I let her hand loose to watch her smile, dance, and frolic in the incoming tide...
A slight earthquake or murmur of the earth beneath me and I jolt out of the daze
A text from my love with merely a smiley followed by "I Love You" illuminates the area...
A smile creeps across my face as I grab my pen and pad... Thus beginning my love song...

Distant Lover

Distant Lover Distant Lover
Feels like Phone Tag
So we missin one another
No love could trump
What we feel for each other
Inseparable together AND can't nobody touch us
It's like a toddler reaching up and we're the sky above em
Say the word and You know I got 100 on the tank
Just a 8hr drive on cruise control babe
And when I get in town, you know how we behave
That New Rice Crispy
We Snap Crackle n BANG
Bright Colors like Fireworks
And you touchin all my buttons tryna see how my fire works
Young Tom can Flame-On but only for you bay
You know we bring up the Sun when the moons out bay
I love you more and more with each given day
Even if you are 100miles away
I pray I can make it back to you some day
But until then I guess you'll have to stay...
My Distant Lover...

Archives: For Her

I sit down to write her poem 
but don't know where to start
Should I talk about her thieven ass
stealin my heart?
Or how she's my sunshine
even when life gets dark?
Nah man that ain't smart
I gotta reach in and pull
This straight out of my heart
Spray some "Love Juice" on it
Sprinkle Affection everywhere
Tell her about how I just wanna chill
and play in her hair
or just sit and into each other's
eyes we'd stare
"You been to Cloud 9?
Cuz Shawty I'll take you there
I call it my home because
you always send me there"
yea, use somethin like that
in the middle somewhere
but i still can't start. 
She got the key to my heart
without her its locked forever
no matter the weather
She always keep me under her umbrella
and I love it... THAT'S IT!!
now baby I can start it for you
the first line of my poem will say
I Love You

Archives: Heart Renovation

Inside the darkest, dampest, and coldest of surfaces you place yourself
Swimming and basking in my rudeness and Asshole-ish ways
Cringing at every impolite gesture and knowing better of me
You halt your strokes and look around, noticing the dust and cobwebs
The large door to the room’s exit nearly falling off of its hinges
Yet you smile, even wink an eye, because you’ve already started your mission
Slowly but surely the room brightens and becomes more lively
I’m holding more doors for the elderly and picking up the trays of ALL girls
And not just the cute ones who are done eating
There are no more Cobwebs, the Dust is all gone
The Hinges are fixed and the Door is standing as strong as ever
But there is still something missing
I’m actually smiling from ear to ear, but there is still no glow in my eye
You plop down on a couch next to one of my major arteries and 
Gaze out a window that overlooks my Liver and Lungs
You notice that my breathing pattern changes whenever you come around
I'm calmer, smoother, more collected than ever, and it hits you
Slowly you glide up to me, gracefully, like the angel that you are
And you whisper a sweet message in my ear that seals the deal
You realized the missing twinkle in my eye wasn’t that I needed a new heart
Your message was “I’m Yours…” because I needed you

Archives: Summer Rain

Complete silence covers the scene 
Minus pitter patter against the windshield
It’s a smooth, subtle drizzle. One of those "Quiet Storms" 
We lay in our separate seats, hers being the passenger,
Hand in hand gazing at the sun roof
The sky is a light gray shade with random splotches of white
I whisper in her ear and she nods in agreement
Putting the car on standby so the slow jams can keep the mood
We climb into the backseat, but me and my girl on a chill groove
I lean back against the door and she lays in my lap, head on my chest
We sit glaring out the window thinking of infinite tomorrows
Reminiscing on the day and laughing away all our sorrows
This love right here? One I'll never forget
She loves me for who I was, who I am, as well as who I'll become
And I need her love like vampires need to hide from the sun
But we need no reminders of our compatibleness, so we rest
My arms gently wrapped around her, I feel her fall asleep
Our breathing in sync, but I don't need a boy band to sing of her love
In her ear I whisper the lyrics to "All my life" by KayCee and Jo Jo
Just to put a smile on her face, simply because she knows I mean every word
In her angelic voice she whispers back "I love you too baby"
Both smiling and filled with love from each others presence
We sit back and chill, listening to the pitter patter of the Summer Rain...

Archives: Gone...

So we've had our sighs
I miss you's and Good-byes
But I don't know if I’ll be back this time
Im cleanin up my act, yea I'm movin out
Leavin this state for school down south
And you'll still be here wanderin around
Thinkin if I’m thinkin about you this round
You know you miss me, act like its all goody
Caught you huggin ya self, curled up in my hoodie
Its koo baby girl, hit me up with a text
You happy I’m a guy thas not just here for the sex
Take you out for ya bday, bought our "Son"
Yea it was a teddy bear but it’s all in fun
You betta hug that badboy til the stuffing's gone
Even if you refill it, I’ll still be gone
Come see me if you want, the drive aint that long
Missin them "TaCo-Flavored Kisses" will keep you goin
Call me if you bored, we can talk on the phone
Laugh all night, til Sun-Up in the Morn
Maybe even Video chat if it’s worth your while
You know I'd do anything to see that beautiful smile
Invited you to the Pool Party to get your last glance
Looked out for you, even saved you the last dance
You wouldn't come cuz ur studyin? Missed my invite by chance?
Nah you showed up in the dope bikini showin off ya tats
Yea you'sa bad chick, I gotta give you that
But gimme some time and I'll make a comeback 
Look baby Ima save you time and cut the chitter chat
This time I'm goin and I’m prolly not comin back... 

Archives: Love Is

Love is what it is 
Nothing More, Nothing Less 
We all secretly want it, once we get it we're blessed 
Nonetheless, Its an amazing gift from GOD 
To have someone that's the other pea in ur pod 
Or to kick back with and gaze at the stars 
Or to tell your life story to and show off your scars 
They are your treasure, they hold the key to your Soul 
Without them, you'd have, in your chest a gaping hole 
So in a sense they complete you 
It is now about more than just YOU 
Your a part of a bigger picture 
They're the reason you smile in every picture 
You daydream about them in the morn 
Until you sleep and dream of them once more 
You want this feeling to last forever 
Simply because you've never felt this way before 
And you will, I garauntee you will, How do I Know? 
Because they feel the same way, Dont think so? 
Probably because you dont feel that kiss as u sleep at night 
Or acknowledge that caressing touch as they hold you tight 
Your not around when they brag of you to friends 
Or notice when Money's slid into your pocket to help meet ends 
They're offering you their heart, all you have to do is accept 
And in Love's Arms you forever will be kept
