My EX, My First.

This is a poem that came to me when going through my first boyfriends pictures. He is so much different from who I knew as a child. I cant help but think I could have helped if i had stayed in his life.

Can You See?


I can see the pain in your eyes
I can see the planes we made
Washed away with your tears
I can feel the deep breaths taken
As you wake to morning
I wish I could have mad you listen
Could have stayed and become a barrier to the women
Who have grabbed a hold of your dreams and turned them
Into could have should have would haves
But as I sit on the phone with you
Speaking of the old times I hear your baby
In the back ground the pain in your voice
And no one else will come to help

Let me be ME

I’m looking for an outlet.
The place were my words are free
I need my feelings to be heard
My thoughts to be safe
I need that comfort
That lovers have

The knowing feeling you get
When you let go of balance
When you forget to tell your heart to beat
Your feet move in the path you’ve outlined

I want to be able to not have to
Micromanage

Give me the freedom to be
Free

To get out of bed
And be a bum with out
Thoughts forming on what I do
Who I am
Where I go
When I talk
What I say
How I am me.

Be my outlet
Be my free space
Tell me no lies

Introductions

You know those feelings you get when you meet someone new...
Those 2-5 seconds gaze in their eyes...
They say the eyes are the key to the soul...
Introductions are sweet, I had one of those real recent...
I put it in a piece titled... "New Beginnings"

"Its heavy in the air…
As she emerges from the depths of winters soul,
New beginnings “Spring” to life,
I feel her on the hairs of my skin,
Memories come to shore from within
And at that very moment, like a déjà vu,
In my eyes, I’ve come to notice you.

A sweet introduction,
Extension of my hand,
Hoping I catch the sensation of your soul,
Echoes of elegant jazz come forth,
Like a babies first grasp of a mothers fingers,
Our clasp of bodily flesh lingers,
All thoughts escape,
Eyes caught in a sensual gaze into lovely brown eyed stars,
And here I am entranced in euphoria ,
Smiling all for yah,
Feeling like I’m on Mars,
Seems like the world around us is oh so very distant,
You’ve eclipsed all that would distract ,
And this simple handshake has us in a mural,
Of natures painting…abstract.

And all of five seconds is up,
Parting to our separate paths
Until next time…
For I'm praying that your hand
And the echoes of the smooth jazz band…
Stay longer…"

I'm a Dreamer

Standing hear
Saying these words to you
Is not my destiny
I’m not hear by default
It’s my dream
I’ll stand up for it
Run tell that

Let His will be done
The will that He gave me
The drive that He drove to me
The light in my eyes
Its mine

I wake up to it
Like a flame at my back
Rest is for the weak
Strength comes and goes

There are no days off
When you realize tomorrow
Isn’t the same as today

The days of the week will come faithfully
Hold on to faith if you want
Till your faith is no more

This is why me standing here
Is not my destiny
It’s my dream

And I’ll keep dreaming
Keep setting my site higher then the ever rising sun

Don’t tell me
You have lost your ambition

Stand with me
Stand and speak your dreams

Let the letters run out like water
Form them into words
Situate them into sentences
That will dance to the ears of another
So that they can run tell that.

Long Time Coming

 
I go by Roxy!
I am a Psychology major with a minor in foundation of special education. My plans for life are fairly simple. I am interested in becoming a school counselor, for those children who need that extra support system. Because if you believe it or remember “the children are our future”, and I would love to be apart of the future.
This is a piece I wrote entitled Long Time Coming”.

It’s been a long time coming
and the sun is a long ways away
but the sole of my feet
won’t let me be beat
ill keep pushing
keep the fire strong
tell my inner me that
it’s been a long time coming
and we can’t rest for child’s play
ill be the guiding light
turn my flame on high
because they are watching me
just as you should be watching you
guiding each step
tracing out the land
shoving your self into the unknown
the end is a long ways away
but the beginning has come and gone
keep that fire strong
don’t let the
whoop and holler
burn you out
because the sole of your feet won’t be beat
when you remember it’s been a long time coming

"Who Am I"

"You can call me Donnie..." 
I'm an African American Studies Major...changing the world a day at time...
I believe in order to know who you are you must first define yourself from where you came from...educate yourself of your past.  To include, culture gives us identity, purpose and direction.  "Know Thyself then we can define ourselves as a whole."

Here is a piece written by myself it is title "I"...

i am because God is,
because they were,
because she did,
because they loved,

i am the future
sunrise after the night,

i am because someone was,
a battle fought and died for,

i am me,
he that is
hers to be

i am one day, father to look up to

i am lover on nights where hate and death is suffocating
hugs and protector when dreams are petrifying

i am he who was created to lead

i am, the watched, by they, who will be

i am, the master of hands she longs to hold

i am the dreamer in the night of day

i am the happiness in gloom of sorrow

i am hope, in the midst of dread and wretchedness's glory

i am...more than biology and chemistry...

i am SOUL

i am...

I
