With the morning dew refreshed
thinking of a life redressed
How would it be,
a field of flowers
seeds planted in ground
no showers
should we dare grow
a colorless field
filled with different archetypes
side effects in plain view
sorted climate change
distorted by way of natures abstract
how would we think of beauty
untamed
When did it become
hit and runs
championing trophies
divide and conquest
How did we destroy your beauty
stop enjoying the simplicities
of conversation
noticing your pet peeves
hearing that sweet symphonic
sound in your laughter
how did we start putting
sex before sex
wheres the value in investments
plundering and pillaging
adventurous lust compelling
guts for glory
where is the chase
what makes it worth while
knowing you before I know you
knowing what I like about you
before knowing how to like you for you
how can one determine worth
when countless others have tried
to show me for you
I am at a loss beginning to think that
this is how the world should
treat you
despite my values and belief in courtship
one day you will be my daughter
or he your son
and I will have to live with
the world I have helped shape
convince you
to look at me the same
as I look at you
where is forever in that
I pray that control and discipline
continue to direct me
in the way of valuing so i can be
the reason for my own not to
devalue
Today I wanted
the need
not to want
to feel without thinking of
the feeling
I wanted to see
a creation of love
one that acts
and then reacts first
for the benefit of me
asking all questions later
much later
no I needed for you to relinquish
any questions at all
Today I needed you to be
everything I wished you could be
just for a brief moment
to be held in the arms bearing
enduring comfort
Today I needed to be pampered
not in a physical sense
but mentally
to rebuild strength
Today I didnt want to ask
for you to neglect your priorities
I needed you to
I needed your focus
to be on me
I needed…
you too
I needed you to see what I needed
and be it
Today I lost it
That comfort
in every imaginable way
Today I was out of my mind
negative on negative
equals negative
but a positive can change the whole
equation
for some
math is hard to understand
but its important to know the numbers
always add up
Today I was looking
for you to be my light
and instead I received a compounded
darkness
so forgive me for being me
and I’ll forgive you for being you
instead of what i needed you to be
In the end I guess we are all human
so forgive me for being selfish too
I understand that there are somethings
others cannot see
be it willing, blindness or….
no matter how much
we need and want them
no matter when it happens
we all need a
Today
we want
Todays
so forgive us for trespassing
when we do and we don’t
Just trust me
I admit I’m not absolute
and my love comes with faults
my intentions are pure
therefore any signs of affection
however scorned, or worn
have been birthed
adorned forever upon a blank canvas
causing fractions of minute colours and palettes
falsified fantasies of sublime energies
of what will, should and forever be
the right dimensions of man, I mean…
I may not be your dream
may never be
Ive spent life chasing greatness noticing
attributes and values to the likes of
hardened women
whom spent offerings rebuilding, giving…undertaking
unfaithful beatings
I only wish to fill in the holes
completely eradicate damages caused
and offer you something to take
admire and value
the strength of a real man
one who quenches that thirst
depleting needs
elevating you to the point of queen
to offer you a love greater than the
sum of me
so while it may be a journey one cant explain
I offer you to explore the best of me
and discover the possibility of whats longs
to be
endures to be
Love of and from
me
