You Hold My Gaze...

Are you attracted to me?
You give me reason to believe that you are.
The way your eyes fix on my eyes and lips.
The way you hold my gaze.
Hanging on my every word; a periodic daze.
At night, when your mind starts to wonder, are your thoughts of me?
If only momentarily...

Could you see past the impossible?
Would you allow the possible to be?
Will you position your mind to explore past the world
it has been programmed to see?

How much of your cognitive are you hiding?
Are you even willing to set it free?
Maybe its just a figment of my imagination
simply hyped up on emotions that's hallucinating
beautiful visions and seeing what my mind wants
to believe.

I Wanted It To Be...

I wanted it to be natural you made it a curse
rejected your true feelings, deliberately is the worst

I wanted it to evolve, let it be something you've never experienced
Unfair to me, I'm at fault for your last experience

I wanted to be special, someone who made you smile
and even if I did your feelings remained bound

I wanted this to be magical, a soft whisper to your heart
but by default I was him who ripped you apart

No matter how hard I tried it was your past you couldn't leave
inadvertently I was blamed for his mistakes, broken promises and
shattered dreams

Now that time has passed I know that you could never love me that way
I want you to. But I hope at some point you can forgive the hurt in you.

It's Been A Long Time. . .

What's Up Intelligent People?

It's been a long time since I updated my blog (almost a year) I know I have to do better. Seems like everybody is using tumblr now, but I just can't get into all that for some reason (call me old school). Currently, I'm sitting here watching Finding Me (for the second time today). Y'all know I'm a sucker for a love story. For those that don't know or have forgotten I am currently finishing up the pages in my first ever book titled "And Then I Opened My Soul". It's an intimate collection of my poetry and thoughts. I have decided to release them because I feel that at this point in my life I can use it as a stepping stone to do bigger and better things and also I really believe that it will help so many other people just work out some things in their life. Well let me get back to watching this movie. Besides the bad lighting, occasional bad sound, & B- acting it is a really good movie and that's why I am watching again.. Finding Me: Truth which is the sequel should be out at some point this summer.

One Luv

Pat

**Distance**

Navigating thoughts accompanied by confusion

regulated by restrictions of the loneliness that's being inflicted

A heart filled with emtions

trapped by an ego to big to let them flow

engulfed with a body of love

but it's all held back

because of the close proximity in which we lack

another day closer to the sparkle in your eye but

yet another day that we're not here or we're not there (together)

the day still awaits that we'll be together as one

seeing the world from each others eyes

awaken to a new day with a simple surprise (your smile)

no matter how long it takes

no matter the distance

let's make a promise now

to let no one or nothing come between us

My Friend...

Took time out of my day to think of you
What our future holds, I have not a clue
Our destinys are foretold, but we still search for the truth
Our hopes & dreams come together
and form pages in the book called "new"
This chapter starts where the last one ends
if nothing else I'll call you my friend..

Respect in a RELATIONSHIP!!

It saddens me how these new age relationships have become a fad for our youth and some of us older people that have bought into the madness. Relationships nowadays are missing some key pieces but one in particular RESPECT. How dare you justify your relationship by saying "oh, we have an open relationship"? Now, if that works for you then so be it but that's not a damn relationship that's a fucking compromise. All you said to the person you're with is "I'm sorry baby, but you're not enough for me so I'm gonna get it and still have you to come home to because you're my convenience". Stop the madness people!!! There is a big difference between a RELATIONSHIP and a CONVENIENCE.. Which one do you have???

Respect yourself and you will respect others.. Love yourself and you will love others!! Why compromise love? Why compromise yourself? Self-respect = Self love

Poem for Haiti

I felt like writing this morning so I did something real simple...

-----------------------------------------

In my deepest thought

And as far as I can see

I couldn’t imagine your pain and misery

The lives that has been lost and those still not found

No words can express the turmoil that’s unwound

Through the rubble, bricks, and falling infrastructure

There is one thing still true in this time of destruction

Your hearts are brave and your love is unconditional

You fight to survive and you will survive the fight

With the blessings of God and help from a few close friends

The cloud of darkness will soon descend

Take care of yourselves , your family, and friends too

And never forget

God continues to watch over you
