2024 Poetry, Verses and Rhymes

Lately

My anxiety, this feeling I haven't felt in a long time

The odd array of beats in my heart make me uneasy

The kind of anxiety to make many feel queasy

But I'm honestly elated thanks to thee

I can almost always hear the beating

It in someway fills me up with a certain kind of glee

This kind that makes me ponder on thoughts of you

But I'm still not sure what this really is

I guess it's been too long 

Or maybe it's something I just miss

But either way I keep hearing this particular song

That sings to me in the form of the rhythm

Stemming from the hum

Emanating from where you are

The movements you make

Your tantalizing gaze

And the very essence of you are clear

It's always this concocted haze

Of how deeply enthralled I am

Overall at how easily you do it

Captivate me

Yep, I know I've been smiling more frequently

Than the usual gloom that rains apparently

On me and everything I touch indubitably 

Courageous the way you enter my mind

Keep the smiles coming all the time

I don't mind any of it at all

Consciously for you I fall

But even if no one is there to catch

The euphoria from you gives me wings

Glide out to the floor

Land smoothly unlike before

But thanks for being quite the muse

I don't need a love song to write this about you

The beats and swipes from the turntables is all the queue

That's needed to put all this into HD view

Before you say you're not responsible for any of this

Let me explain how much of what I can sum up fits

Delivering how I'd rather write poems for you

Because I don't want to do anything else

In this moment where I'm more alive, it's true

Thanks to the exuberance the thought of you 

Fills the halls of my mind and life

Crazy enough to write when I usually want to just play with a knife

And cook myself something cheap

But when you took a peep

I am compelled to just get up and write

It's an anomalous phenomenon

Even for me in this state of sobriety

Where raw dogging life makes me cold and sometimes out of touch with reality

No escape but just being present in the moment

And with you by my side

I know this feels exaggerated

But I do think about how certain things are

You know, too good to be true

I enjoy every moment with you even if we're apart

This weekend was awesome thanks to you

I just hope you don't play with my heart

Because I'm willing on my end for it's surrender

And I don't know when the last time I did that

A long while back I can't seem to remember

Or I just want to forget that time 

Because of how I felt like a mime

Betrayed and left silent over all

But hey, I'm willing, if anything for you, I'd fall
