untouched soul...

the name of my second book of poetry is called "untouched soul"...i feel like it is a collection of poems that are deeper in content and emotions than "soulful eyes"...however, i will always have an attachment to my first book...i love it and will always love it... it's time to take my writing to the next level, and if you can't see the growth from then til now... i don't know what to tell you...lol

i'll keep you guys posted.

peace.

On This Earth...

I am not perfect
I am flawed
Maybe more than
I wish to acknowledge
I make mistakes
Over and over
Trying to learn from them
But never really grasping
The concept
Sometimes...
Until it's too late
I am human
Made in the image
Of something great
Only to spend a lifetime
Chasing that greatness
Often times falling short
But still making that effort
To do and be better
Than yesterday
I am a product
Of a shattered past
Searching for a love
That will bring me comfort
And a permanent peace
A calm to the chaos
That lies inside
Tucked away in my heart
The tumult
Secretly locked away in my mind
I am a man...
Born naked
Unaware, afraid, and needy
To search this life
And the lives before
For that piece of my soul
Left out on purpose
As a constant reminder
That to truly be complete
And continue
In love, happy, content
And have a peace
Everlasting
That I have to find my compliment
My companion, my life partner
To share this life with
The way the master plan
Has it laid out
No one ever told me
That this was going to be easy
So day and night
I fight for you
I fight for me
I fight for us
To have the chance
To live the rest of my days
Staring into your eyes
The closest to heaven
I'll ever be
On this earth.

Dear Love...

Dear love…
I never thought
I’d ever feel this way
Again in life
Because the pain that I carry
Is so deeply embedded
In me
That you can’t even see it
You just feel it
I wear it like a cloak
Or maybe a ball & chain
Holding me down
While I attempt
To keep moving forward
Ready to hold you
In my embrace
To touch your face
Kiss your lips
Hold you close
And inhale your scent
Afraid to exhale
Because I never want
To let you go

Dear love…
I want to love you
To finally be able
To release myself
From the shackles
Of myself
I’ve held back
For so long
Because no one really
Appreciates me
Like you do
You bring out the best in me
When all I see
Is the worst in me
You inspire me
You give me a reason
To be a better me
For a better life
For us…


Dear love…
Let me love you
It’s all that I have left
To give…
