My Promise To You

Threw thick and thin in sickness and health
I promise to be here for you side by side as
if I were your shadow like a silhouette of Love
you and the child you carry are my first priority
my child and my wife to be leaning towards a
life of happiness with a Love so strong that even
in the tragedy of Death we shall not part for so 
long I wondered...I wondered what was my true 
purpose for living giving up on life as the days 
passed by because the answer to my thought
seem'd to be unknown feeling like a lost cause
It wasn't until I met you when I realized my purpose
I was created to Love you and give you happiness
its as if I am a Knight in shining armor and you are
the Princess that I am so excited to rescue In 
mysterious ways I was slowly falling not
knowing unable to see the truth until I gained
the courage to express my feelings I thank
God for embracing me with an Angel and a
Blessing is it Destiny or Faith...does it matter
no my prayers have been answered and I
Promise to indulge you both with as much
Love I can possibly give in presents and absents

Just Met

As time passed I contemplated the outcome of all that had occurred gazing at your pictures has me lost in the clouds wandering around hoping never to found happening so incredibly fast you've got the best of me never thinking something of such magnitude could be possible my dedication has no need for evaluation the only thing that may be needed is your participation with a smile that can comfort me and words that are inspirational and endearing it seems to be fictional it's as if I were under a spell knowing that we've just met my feelings continue to grow like a raging river rapidly moving towards a waterfall I can not contain myself so the emotions that I hold within will soon come to be a whisper in your ear.

Seduction With a Poem

As I stare hopelessly out the window I imagine the Joys of Love
 the sensusal feelin of her lips against mine and the entrapping
 smell of her perfume with a gentle touch from her hand I tingle
 and shake as if I am a tree being blown by a cool breeze
 and when she speaks her voice sounds as though it is the wind
 a seductive whisper blowing in my ear and her eyes are brighter
 than the stars with skin that seems as soft as the clouds
 she motivates me she is my Queen so I tell her to lay down
 so I can give her a Royal licking I am here to give her satisfaction
 and I am here to make her moan as my hands gently move
 down her back she elevates as if I startled her with a soft
 slow kiss to her clitoris she moans with satisfaction and
 as I use my tongue as if it were a Tornado the loudness
 of her moaning begins to grow.

Thinking of the Pain

Thoughts running through my mind Heart racing and Im
staring off in to space as I apply pressure to the pen I hold
in my hand moving along as the ink bleeds on to the paper
I realize the undiscriable pain I go through a problem that
I want not to have not able to solve it I grit mt teeth and swallow
as if it were to help the pain go away... it doesn't work so I continue 
to move foward in Life encountering many obstacles irritated by
the tragedy of pain I am eager to let go

Liberation

I can't explain the liberation I feel as I 
contemplate caressing you mesmerized 
by your every move my heart feels what 
must be expressed and what can not be 
denied I invision a life with you filled with 
love a blessing revealed you are to me I've 
waited patiently for compatibility so my 
responsibilities make you my number one 
priority my love is unconditional and 
underrated but shall be endured by you... 
You who I so desperately want and need 
receiving my mind body soul and heart in 
everyway imaginable elevating the 
happiness we share emotionally mentally 
sexually and spiritually can you picture it? 
Photos framed of a beautiful family I am 
anxious to see what the future withholds 
for you and I my arms will be your cloak of 
love and your shield from harm a cloak to 
be worn with pride how deep does your 
love go? How far must I travel? It's 
important for you to know my limitations 
knows no bounds forever yours.

In My Mind

In my mind we have been together since
we first met holding in my feelings until I
couldn't take it know more resisting telling
myself to wait your the only woman I want
to be with and its been that way since before 
you knew it if only you could take a journey
through my mind you would truly know the
things I think about everyday and night "In
My Mind" the baby you carry is mine until I 
step back into reality and realize I let my 
imagination get the best of me Loving 
you with all my heart I want to share the 
beauty of having a child with you a blessing 
that I hope someday to recieve with you but 
until that time comes "In My Mind" I will 
believe that the baby you carry is mine
am I wrong for the things that are running
through my mind wishing I was the one
so desperately wanting for my thoughts
to be true

Pain

I feel pain from with in trampled by a stampeed of Love
beaten and bruised hiding behind a smile and shades
as if it'll make the pain go away ow... its like a sharp
inanimate object constantly poking my Heart... can it
be stopped... is it possible... in time the wounds will
heal but I must first get someone to bandage them
properly if the bandages are not applied correctly the
wounds will continue to bleed forcing me to not allow
anyone gain access to my Heart cold as ice and hard
as cement my Heart will be unless the Love I share 
with her continues I feel the stress and the pain feelings
I do not want to feel surrounded by irritation and drama
my Heart has weakened

Marry Me

Unexpectedly I call her to the side anxious to ask her 
something while holding her hands and staring into 
her eyes I start to cry asking her does she Love me
when she replys yes I smile reminiscing about all
the things we have been threw from the good times 
to the bad times when I regain focus of the situation 
at hand I realize she has started crying as well not 
knowing why I wipe the tears from her face and give
her a kiss on the cheek she starts to walk towards the
door pulling my hand until I tell her to wait I have to
tie my shoe so she stands in front of me waiting so I 
get on one knee and I reach into my pocket revealing 
a small box containing an Engagement ring when she 
looks down realizing what Im doing I look into her eyes
asking her to Marry Me

I Apologize

It seems the more I Love you the harder
it gets from the drama to the confusion
blaming myself for all of your problems
"I Apologize" wondering if there is a way
for me to take away all of your pain even
though you say I shouldn't fault myself I
still feel bad I sometimes ask myself am
I the cause of all your pain can I endure 
you with all the happiness that you deserve
or am I making things worse "I Apologize"
from time to time I feel as if I am a wall
blocking your path with know intentions
of moving curiosity is the reason for the
questions I ask knowing the answer to
all of my questions before I ask I still ask
"I Apologize"

Bedtime

Alone in a room candles lit and Rose petals on the bed
 the sound of slow R&B sets the mood I take her socks
 and/or shoes off then I give her feet slow Gentle Kisses
 I then slowly take off her shirt making sure I don't mess
 up her hair as we stare into each others eyes she whispers
 I Love You and I reply I Love You To then I kiss her neck and
 work my way down to her Breast licking and nibbling on her
 nipples as she lays down to get more comfortable I move
 down to her belly button kissing and licking all the way down
 I raise her right leg to give her inner thigh a unexpected lick...
 she mumbles something so I blow on the same spot...
she mumbles again I then place my tongue on her lips
 and move it as if I were spelling my name J: she clutches
 the pillow...A: she lock's her legs...M: she moans
...E: she moans louder...S: Orgasm she then lays her
 head on my chest and I kiss her on the Forehead and
 I tell her Goodnight as we fall asleep
