Him... I miss
Labels:
Poetry
I originally wrote this one back in high school... found it flipping threw some old stuff... I remember finding it for the first time when I moved to Harlem in 2005 and I remember changing a couple things in relation to a trip I had just been on.
You know its that time of season when people go on trips, have those one night stands on the trips, most times never to speak to that luscious man ever again. Just the fun of being young and carefree (and safe of course) hits you and you want to feel desired by the opposite sex so you endulge, knowing that what happens on that cruise or that island stays on that cruise or that island. Well have you ever been in a situation where you thought about that person after. Knowing that it was against the rules but you just couldn't help yourself. Wanting to see that person again, missing them as if your connection had been more than just sex. Well this poem touches on that a bit. I hope you feel me!
Him, I miss
A tear roles down my cheek
As I look into the sky
Our meeting was too quick
We said hi and then bye
I wish he were here
To show tender-loving care
My arms are held wide open
But there’s no one there
I wish I could forget him
But I keep seeing his smile
Nonchalant about things
Had his own unique style
I miss him so much
The time spent was too short
I wish I could fly like an eagle
Then into the sky I would soar
Right on the ledge of his window
To receive a hug and a kiss
I don’t know that much about him
But the little I know I miss
I wish clocks could be turned back
Instead I reminisce the time we shared
The memories are too great
Too much for me to bear
Just one more day with him
To let him know how I feel
To discuss serious issues
Knowing my love for him is real
The clouds begin to thicken
And tears are tumbling down
I distinctly hear his voice
Exact pitch and sound
I can’t bear it any longer
We’re too far apart
New York and St. Maarten
Where can a relationship start
I know if I press on
We’ll be together one day
My cruise landed on your aisle for a reason
And for that reunion I pray.

Hmm - this is good - you should do this at an open mic.
You know...I totally understand how you feel on this one.
I remember those trips and the one night stands. Like if I were to take a trip to Vegas back in the day there's nothing I wouldn't get into because I was young, naive, and carefree. Also what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
I miss those days. This poem is hot girl! Good one and I love it.
Damn, you were writing like this in high school???
Gone girl!
Loving it!

nah for real... some of the stanzas are from HS... wrote it after I went to track camp for the summer at Villanova University... fell in utter lust with one of the other dudes in the camp.. then when I found it in 2005 I had just come off my first cruise... and had a little boo on the boat for that week so I changed a couple stanzas to reflect that...
This is good sh^t.
Girl that is HOT!
Great poem!! Most people can relate to a long-distance love that can probably never be. :-)

very lovely dahling...I wish I could hear you say it in person...
nice poem...i definitely feel it.
but, that's just it, eb. you breaking the rules. you ain't 'posed to catch feelings on the strength of a one time encounter. i can, however, see how it could happen even if you had no intention of it happening.
