Stay True to You

Everyday you wake

Smile for goodness sake

Each day is new

Attack it and stay true

 

Stay true to you

When skies are gray & when skies are blue

Nothing can hurt you but you

So do what you do

 

Make these moves

Groove to the tune of the day

Change the beat if it's not going your way

Stay true , stay true to you

 

Love those you don't understand

Talk to others, build that brand

Do all the things they said you couldn't do

Stay true, stay true

 

Wipe away the sweat, wipe away the tears

Climb the mountains and conquer your fears

Make it so they don't even need a clue

Stay true to you, stay true

 

Give more then you take. Stay solid as oak

Make sure you and the fam are always woke

Celebrate the successes you already knew

But most of all, stay true to you

Two Way Path

Everything that I do is for you. I moved from the east to the west. I flew back and forth just to do what I had to do so that life would be easier and new. Why would you question my love. How could you answer "Will you Marry me" with "I can't do this". Who flipped the switch. How could you switch over night. How can I make this right! These Hot days in July can make fights boil, but not like this. What did I miss? You and I have something above most. My best friend had already prepared the toast. Smiles full of love occurred yesterday from you beautiful face, now that's not the case. Now you need space. Now you need to leave this place. Now it's not worth another moment. Now you want me replaced. Nobody ever wants to admit they were wrong, how could we last for so long and end so quickly. Did you lie to me? Was this a game? Because I'm starting to feel like I'm not the blame for your actions. It seems like you're communicating another conversation that I was never a part of. I told you my feelings but your feelings were balled up. Why fight. Please just be the light I need, Or admit I was just around to appease your greed for everything. Let me walk away with the truth. Because everything I've said is loose without my other half pulling the noose.

To The one I'll Love

Dear Love,

First and foremost, I love you more then you will ever know. You're the reason for my hearts everlasting glow. I had started to think you weren't possible. Through the years my path was steering through so many obstacles, but the stars aligned and pulled you near. That special moment you appeared made my heart stop. Not at first sight, through tunnels I eventually saw the light. So bright! It shined and slam, wham, bam, I'll be damned; You made it right. I never ever wanted to fight. Never needed to. It was easy. Thank you. I convinced myself it wasn't a thing. Love would never bring me happiness. I'd be depressed and drowning in sadness. Relationships failed. Divorce to my family is normal. Why Should I be different. Why would I believe you existed? I still don't. You are still an image in my head, but I love that jpeg. It makes this letter that much sweeter. You and I sweet as pie. No lie no lie. It makes me cry. I would die for you. 

I'm writing this because I witnessed my biggest fear with love. A poisoness relationship. I never want to see the day that another person wants to see me give up hope. You would never do that to me and I want to acknowledge you for that.

Thank you for showing me that I'm too hard on myself. Thank you for proving that my life isnt going to be like another life. Thank you for convincing me that I was correct in not settling. Thank you for believing me. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for being the best friend a guy could ask for. And finally Thank you for the smile on my face as I write this letter. 

Love, Love, Love,

Looking Up at You

I'm crazy about this girl!!

I sit up at night staring high in the sky, wondering if I will ever be her guy. So sweet need to gather myself. Should sleep but can't. Hope my mother loves her. Could see them getting drinks together. Her smile is stuck in my head. I can smell her hair laying in my bed. Everything that we have said to each other seems so sincere. I just hope that we both can make it clear how much this is real. She's the first girl I've lost my chill with. I'm thirsty and need some water for my pil...low hogger to quench her mind to kind of rewind this desire and play it back one more time. I'm jamming the memories to the front of my brain. Want to hear her name out loud. Same old feelings I lost came back, but the prize is you. What's new? EVERYTHING. Can't bring up feeings till I accept them. Makes sense in my head, just needs to be reread. My emotions have bled through my pores and onto the shores of the future. Crazy, craziness I can't explain. Love has a way of keeping me unchained to the past. Just found that feeling I've needed at last. Never crash, just complete that pass and it will open the gates to a new class of life and appreciation. Attention to detail is a must, but don't over think too much. Such and such will always influence my drive towards goals. Just keep in touch and never lust for those who betray. Eyes on the pretty skys tonight and forever.

Grab Life By The Balls!

Day after day I think of ways to make life easier, but maybe that's the wrong approach. Life SHOULD be hard. I SHOULD wanna push myself, even after achieving my goals. My biggest lesson from life is this, you get what you put into it. Nobody Is gonna make my life better for me; only I can. I wanna be tired at the end of the day, I wanna balance time, I want to travel, I want the world! I just have to go take it.

The First Kiss

Looking back.....I’m a lucky bastard. I’ve had a lot of first kiss in my day, and each time brings different emotions to the forefront. I have some that ended better, some that went no where, some with woman I should have married, some drunk at a party with a girl that I don’t know(Sorry mama). With that said, The first kiss is maybe my favorite relationship moment. Now I know the back seat of a coach bus driving from Washington D.C back to STL with our mothers seating at the front of the bus is the perfect setting for a first kiss(Sorry mama), but my very first kiss wasn’t my favorite. NOPE. My favorite was in a black box, high school. Even I didn’t know it was coming. My best friend and I set it up perfectly. I saw her and her friend. I remember green costumes hanging on the rack, I smell a mix of shampoo and sawdust. Everyone just split away because it was our break during the rehearsal. I see her looking at me now with a smile. I’m looking directly at her. I tell my friend to play along. “I bet you I’ll kiss her”, “I bet you WONT!”....using our theatre voices to assure that she and her friend heard us. Even at this point I didn’t believe that I would kiss her. I stepped forward and MWAH! “I told you!”. I had a bigger smile then her! Who would have guessed she would be such a huge memory and part of my life, past and future...

RANT 1

09/10/15 till forever

When you wish to the stars above, what do you wish for? Cars? Money? Fame? Wanna know what I wish for?

I wish that my brain actually knew what a normal life was. I have this image in my head of what normal is but I’m never gonna be there, I think normal to us is something we only dream about. Honestly, to a person on the street my life is no where near normal. I’m not gonna say I hate that but I don’t enjoy being in the dark all the time. I hate what I’ve built as normal in my head. I wish I could control-alt- delete everything and have a different mind set. I feel like these “lessons learned from my past” are actually bad habits that I can’t knock for some reason. I put myself in bad moods because of it and thats the worst.

Rant over

What is Love?

What is love.... Thats the magic question... Is it an amount of affection... Or is it guidances and direction....is it the motion of emotions traveling within you brain...can it be trained? Is it only about what you claimed when you aimed your heart towards another, which that other may not have been ready for this brand new door to escape through.. Why go through when it may not be true? Should it always feel right and should it always be over the top... Its just so scary to think you could fall from the ceiling into the arms of nothing.. Should i always except a glove... Or should I wish to the stars above.. For this crazy thing we call love... But What is love?

"Me and You"

One and two

me and you

what we do

stay true stay true

 

Through all the loops

 we jump and scoop

just trying to make

 that last second hoop

 

Insane yet sane

Our love remain

And everlasting chain

Connecting brain to brain

 

My heart your heart

What beautiful art

Still cool still smart

Nothing will tear us apart

 

Work hard play hard

Past days left me scarred

Never for me to disregard

My future days are starred

 

With you and me

Together we will be

Always filled with glee

This bright future I see

 

 

Dom
