on her tongue.
Someone who can recognize that bitterness
is trying to find roots in her mind,
and see that she isn’t settling for that.
Someone who understands that
she has been served the coldest hell,
but is trying to drown her past experiences
and find the courage to embrace new ones.
Her lips are made to be kissed by someone who
can see that she craves the sweetness of life.
Healing happens when you
stop wrestling with the idea that
you gave them power to pin you down
and realize that you simply
got in the ring to fight with good intentions.
You may have lost, but you won yourself back.
If your ego won't let you
compromise for the relationship,
what makes you think
her knowing her self-worth
will let her compromise?
Give no room for her past to whisper lies to you
or to mock her for making mistakes
if you do not want anyone to judge you for yours.
How can you hold on to her past sins
when you only talk about your future as a saint?
She is poetry,
full of emotions
and feelings;
yet complex.
Detailed,
yet unexplainable;
Understood,
yet complicated.
There are hints in the songs she loves,
they may make your ears bleed;
but, they will help you interpret the words
buried under her tongue
and the caged thoughts of her mind.
You are only hard to love
to those who will find walking away easy.
You will be far too much for those
who cannot cherish the idea
of being deeply in love with you.
I think of her as a best seller,
handwritten by God
on pages made from his magnificent robe.
Her choices are every word.
Her eyes are every page.
Her heart is an untold story.
Each chapter may have missing paragraphs,
but the further you get inside
the more she will become easily comprehended.
I advise that you take your time with her;
learning of her has to be a marathon
or you’ll sprint past some important details.
A man’s hands are made
to cup your face
and his arms to hold you.
The day they become weapons
to terrorize you,
please know that love no longer
lives in that man’s heart.
Only anger reigns there.
Anger and love cannot grow in the same garden.
Wait for the man
who makes you question what love is,
one who loves you hard
despite how hard you believe you are to love.
You don’t need closure to find happiness again,
you need to find reasons to start a new chapter,
and put down that old book.
Here is one reason, you deserve to be happy.
There will
be memories
that live
as long as
you are alive.
Dear,
Giving yourself away
for a cheaper price isn’t
the right bait to reel in their love.
Lowering your standard isn’t how
Only real love can afford you,
because you are both love and priceless.
Love cannot be a magic trick.
You loving them will not make them right
or make them love you.
The only magic of love is that it can be invisible,
yet seen wherever it exists.
People like her
can only be loved one way.
The right way,
The passionate way,
The self-less way,
One way, different lanes.
Love’s agenda is to add to you.
If your love is taking too much from you,
it must be subtracted out of your life.
She doesn’t care
whether you are different or not.
What she cares about is
if you’re good and right for her.
You may be nothing like the others,
yet still hurt her
when you walk away.
If there’s anything more beautiful
than a classy woman with a loving heart,
my eyes have yet to see it.
Simple reminder VIII
You don't have to be a model,
it's okay to simply be a woman.
All natural,
all imperfections,
all real.
Every love
starts with forever planted in its yard.
The ones who see it grow,
cultivate their love.
You have to stop
letting his lying tongue
leave marks on your neck
and his hands
leave fingerprints on your back.
Love was never meant
to be a sword.
Matter of fact, it never is
and never was.
It is the vessels who claim to love us
who put swords to our chests.
A new relationship is not
remedy for heartbreak,
it is rather poison we drink
as we mourn our lovers.
It never gets better,
we simply become worse
with someone else.
The storm will wash away
the façade that those who
aren’t true friends put forth.
Prepare for the rain.
How unfortunate
that people with good hearts
sometimes run into bad lovers.
What is more unfortunate
is that many bad lovers are born
from such experiences.
What she doesn’t ask for
is usually what she deserves,
the small surprises,
heartwarming gifts,
undivided attention,
and to be showered with compliments.
Never stop trying to impress her.
Being drunk in love
is actually sobering.
It is taking
too many shots of lust
to numb the void
we feel that trips us.
It causes us to land
on the swords aimed for our hearts
that leave scars on our backs.
Love should never be a burden,
even on the hardest days.
She’s a skeptic when
it comes to promises.
As she evolves,
she only searches for a love
that can be seen by those who are deaf
and felt by the blind.
Do not ask for her heart
if you cannot give her your time.
A lot of wrong men
will fight for you;
how you pick the right one
is by keeping your eyes on
which of them doesn't know
how to stop fighting.
You are not wrong for demanding
that he puts boundaries around
the happy home you are trying to build.
He calls it insecurity, but you see it as
keeping away the women who treat
men as pets and are looking to kidnap a new one.
Enough female dogs have wandered
into nice neighborhoods, snuck through open
doors and sabotaged nice h
omes.
Sweetheart, you have every right to want
the door of your relationship closed and secured.
Affection ought to be part
of your routine rather than
something you treat her to
once in a blue moon.
Imagine if the earth saw
the moon every so often.
Simple reminder IX
Beauty
is in the eye
of the beholder.
Behold
what you see in that mirror.
She is a cup of good,
stirred with bad,
and a few drops of innocence.
With a crooked smile,
and an adventurous laugh.
Naïve, she is at times.
But behind all those things,
is hidden a girl
who doesn’t always take a mature path.
Bad intentions leak out of her at times,
but she is far from evil.
I am not saying this to condemn her,
but to remind you,
that even the prettiest people
have some ugliness planted in them.
It’s the reality of life.
New love cannot find its way into the lives of those
who are held captive by yesterday.
She is a heavenly being
trapped in this dark world.
There is nothing I’d like to do more
than remind her
to never let the darkness oppress her
and lead her to forget
that she is made of light.
You cannot love and doubt simultaneously.
If the doubt is more alive,
it is because it is being fed well.
Eventually, it will eat away the love
that was ever on the table, piece by piece.
When love is fed,
you will vomit almost every ounce of doubt.
Boldness flowed through her veins
and grace filled her lungs.
Women like her know when to raise their voice
and when to let their silence make the noise.
You're the sun sweetheart,
even on the cloudy days,
you are made to shine.
At this point in her life,
she isn't looking for a man
to tell her she is pretty,
she's dying to meet the one
who will run out of words,
trying to explain
why she is beautiful to him.
If you pay enough attention,
you will realize that there is something beautiful
about making her feel beautiful.
Real recognize real
There are many women who hide
behind a fake boldness.
They try to bury their desire
for the love of a man,
into their independence.
But you, you understand
what it means to be
your own and someone else’s.
You love yourself
in a pure and honest way,
and that is what good men are searching for.
Enough men wait until
it all ends to love their woman
like they did when it all started.
You shouldn’t take such chances with her.
She’ll fight a war for love,
but she will never fight for
your time nor attention.
Being normal is over praised.
You were never meant
to be accepted by all.
Therefore, be as weird
and as odd as you want to be.
True love is without
conditions and boundaries,
nor is it at the mercy of reciprocity;
however, love must be reciprocated
in order to mature.
I’d like to take this moment
to celebrate you.
To heal after having your heart broken
countless times is an accomplishment.
Many don’t graduate past the pain.
They only pick up a third degree burn on their
soul while bitterness and anger become their first
and second degrees respectively.
Message from the guy who loves you
Allow me to hold your hands,
Allow my fingers to tightly hug yours,
Allow yourself to be naked while being fully
dressed around me,
Allow those guards to rest,
Allow yourself to be at ease, to entertain the idea
of being loved in a way your defensive ways won’t
let you.
Allow the doors of your heart to open up a little bit
and let some fresh air in,
Allow me to see the real you, the vulnerable you.
I am not asking for you to fall in love with me yet,
but please be yourself around me.
That is all I’m asking.
Love’s words
I am nothing to be afraid of.
When you meet me, you will see.
Women like her are rare
not because of what they look like,
nor what they have,
but it is because of who they are
and how they view this thing called life
despite the troubles it lays at their feet.
Dear Alexa,
I cannot wait to meet you.
I will be obsessed with you, I already am now.
Side note: Your name begins and ends with the first
letter of the alphabet. If I ever fail to put you first,
remember that’s the position you deserve and ought
to settle for when you a man asks for your heart.
Simple reminder X
Treat her as if
she is both
gold and glass.
Thank You
