This is another piece from my “Letters From the Heart” series. The title is pretty self explanatory. So here it goes…

My Dearest You Know Who,

I know I’m the last person you would ever wanna talk to
Since the way that we parted was kinda like World War 2
So I’m not really sure how or why I should say this to you
But I wanna tell you ‘bout some things that I’ve going through
Its been some time since we last spoke to each other
And since you walked out of my life, I haven’t found another
That comes close to making me feel the way that you do
That’s why I love you, even your ugly parts are beautiful
Since you’ve been gone, I spend my days alone
Daydreaming about when we shared a happy home
It kills me that I broke your heart and drove you away
If I could go back, I would do anything to get you to stay
But I can’t, so I’m left reminiscing about the past
Its like looking at faded pictures through broken glass
And I know that this is sound just a little crazy
But, for some reason I still carry the photo that you gave me
I guess it reminds me of all of the things that I’ve lost
Plus I don’t wanna repeat my mistakes, no matter the cost
And I’d be shocked if you thought about the time we shared
So the whole point of this letter is to tell you that I still care

Yours In A Past Life,
Me

I’m still working on the poem from the other night, but I just wanted to share another piece with the world. This is my newest piece. Its very near and dear to my heart, only a few people know why. I don’t plan on sharing those reasons, but I hope you enjoy reading the poem…

From heaven she was cast
My angel, my light
The goddess Aphrodite, sent to Earth to illuminate my path and provide warmth to my spirit
She came to me on a midsummer’s breeze
And delighted me with her beauty
I went to sleep with her essence on my lips and she danced her way through my dreams
When I had awoke, she had taken off with my heart and left my soul wanting more
So here I am, heart in her hands
My body and soul, willing followers of her every whim
I call her my pied piper
But she doesn’t lead me to destruction
Our destination is filled with seduction, eroticism and love
My Cherie amor, you’re not the first woman that I have adored
But I want you to be the last
And when you click the heels of your ruby slippers
I hope you say that there’s no place like me
Our love is your home, in my two arms you find shelter
And we shall ascend to the seventh level of our Father’s house
To live for eternity as man and wife
The goddess Aphrodite and me

This still isn’t the poem I started last night, that one is gonna take me a little longer than I orignally thought. But since I brought up the fact that Love Jones is my go-to inspiration, I decided to post this poem. I wrote this a few years ago. At the time, I was going through a rough break up and wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about it or how to deal with my feelings. Like everything else in my life, I knew I wanted to write about it. That always seems to be my release. But, I couldn’t get myself going. That’s when I started flipping through the channels and came across Love Jones. As I sat watched the movie, I noticed parallels between what was on the screen and what was in my heart. And that’s when this poem was conceived. As the story played out on screen, I wrote like a madman. There are aspects of the movie in this poem, as well as what I was going through. Hope you enjoy…

It was a Friday night; me and my boys were chilling in the club
I was just hanging out, having fun, not really looking for love
But then you walked past me
I was awe-struck; your jaw-dropping beauty had me straight stuck
You had me mesmerized by those gypsy eyes
And your slim waist that leads down to those dancer’s thighs
I coyly approached like huge fan does a movie star
Scared to speak like a kid asking mommy for a candy bar
“Excuse me,” I said and you turned ever so sweetly
Then I asked you these questions ever so meekly
“You probably get approached like this on a regular basis, huh?”
“And told how fine you are by countless faces, huh?
“Well, add my name to the list”
“Your level of fine is so high, just looking at you gives me a pain in my eye”
“Maybe we can continue this conversation at a later day and time”
And that’s we began our beautiful courtship

Now some time passes by and we doing what couples do
I’m learning you, you’re learning me, ain’t nothing new
But I can see in your face that something has changed
You tell you have to go out of town for a couple of days
What kind of fool do I look like?
You hop on a train and head back home
Thoughts of a man that’s not me swirl around in your dome
Out of town on business my ass
You went back to home to play around with the trash
Also known as your ex-boyfriend
But I’m stingy
I can’t stand that you want him instead of me
It’s driving me crazy
But when it comes to this love game, I ain’t lazy
Anything you can do, baby I can do it better
So I sit down and write her, not you, a love letter
By the time you come home, I’m long gone
And the way things went down is all wrong
That’s how I got caught up in this love jones

When we split, you said that I would regret it
But like a typical man, I tried to forget it
And now we’re in the midst of this 2 town 2 timing 2 step
Dying to run back to you but too scared to hurt my rep
I look around and see my friends in love and happy
Not long ago, I thought all this shit was sappy
But now I’m fiending for it
Feeling like a crack addict going cold turkey
And seeing you out with him truly hurts me
Now I’m wishing I could throw me back
To that exact spot where we found L-O-V-E at
Feel like all I do is lose now, when do I get to win one?
Asking the Holy Father how could he play his own son
Right now I’m left out in the rain; my own hands caused all this pain
