My second book of poetry, untouched soul has been published... I am more than elated about the book... It didn't take as long as the first one, probably because I was more prepared in terms of material, but every moment always feels like the first... I am blessed to be able to share this gift with the world...
My next project is getting my novel edited...and published...
peace.

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…

peace.

starting over...
somewhere, along this journey
i lost my way
turning back
to pick up the pieces
but finding that
these pieces
had crumbled
into nothing
small as minuscule grains of sand
falling to my knees
ready to give up
wondering how in the world
will i put these pieces
back together
as a point of reference
to try and remember
who i was...
when i started this journey
i realize
that who i was
will always be a part
of who i am
buried under the rubble
of who i wasn't
supposed to be
so i got up
dusted myself off
and decided
to start over.

my drug of choice...
this drug
has been in my life
for decades
i just can't kick
this habit
i need her...
she's been in my life
so long
i can't leave her
the high that i feel
each time
i take a hit
over
and over
and over
trying to surpass
that first high
sometimes reaching it
sometimes not...
but always willing
to try again
i wake up in the middle
of the night
just to have her
she's probably been
the reason
for some of the breakups
but that's okay
because i know
she'll never leave me
my drug of choice
i ingest this drug
day in
and day out
each time i pick up
my pen
and paper
writing...
i just can't get enough.

undeniable truth...
i never saw my life without you
and i won't start seeing it that way today
tomorrow, the day after that
it wasn't even a thought in my mind
on yesterday
i made my choice
a long time ago
when i realized
the truth.
that i love you
beyond what words
will ever be able
to express
and that is where i am
and will be
forever.
