A Chance

Today I was looking back on the 1st time we met,
We discussed selling books on the internet.

Then the following week I asked what’s going on,
After you told me I suggested Amazon.

This poem isn’t meant to be a bore,
No in fact this poem is to help you open that door.

Now I hope you take this seriously it’s not a load of bull,
I really like you Kristina & think you’re beautiful.

I love the way your eyes shine,
I would love for you to be my Valentine.

I can understand if you feel you don’t know me well enough,
So I will tell you some things & not call you bluff.

On my right arm I have a tattoo,
I’m not sure if you like tats but that’s up to you.

I take my weightlifting regiment very serious since I lost weight,
I lost 30lbs with pictures to prove this debate.

I take Omega 3 Fish oils as part of my program,
It has given me definition like no man.

One of my biggest strengths & secret that I’ll let you in,
To loose that kind of weight fast takes self-discipline.

You can’t worry about calories all the time,
Just watch what you’re eating & you’ll be fine.

Don’t get offended by the past 3 lines,
I know you like to go to the gym & you might want to know it but don’t worry your fine.

Another strength of mine that strengthened from lifting down to a tee,
Is the strength of my loyalty.

I know this is kind of sudden like a dream or trance,
But all I’m asking Kristina is to give me a chance.

A Promise

I know that sometimes you pray,
I’ll make you the most secure guarantee today.
 
I lay in my bed about to sleep,
I can’t help but to think so deep.

Tears flow down my cheek,
My face starts to look like a creek.

I think of a different world then that I know,
Like when the gift of my heart was given in a bow.

If someone out there is who you are meant to be,
I want to see you happy even though I’d be dead if it isn’t me.

I know for sure I want to see our world age,
It wouldn’t be fair though to make you feel in a cage.

The tears continue to flow,
About a world I don’t wish to know.

I can’t hold you back on trying new things,
Even though I feel like getting rings.

I know I will put my heart through lots with hope of return,
However I can’t promise stalemate with my heart feeling the burn.

My nose is now running with moisture from pain,
I hold my pillow wishing it was your hair I brush like a mane.

Life has had many lessons already taught to me this I know,
When you finally find what you’re looking for don’t ever let go.

If this isn’t the world I’m meant to bear,
Then as always my life will be unfair.

My past is my past which lacks this burn,
This direction I hope we never turn.

With all the things physically I’ve been through,
Without hesitation I’d go through it all again for you.


Our date of remembrance is September twenty seven 2005,
 It’s the 1st date in memory I felt so alive.

As I cry some more hoping I won’t have to make a hard choice,
I realize our love right now is something to rejoice.

I ask that you don’t give yourself to anyone else till the end is near,
Each time I say this line out comes a new tear.

To say if you love something you should let it free,
It’s hard to believe they were talking to me.

I grab my tissues to try & wipe tears in shame,
I then realize it just brings my heart more pain.

I now close my eyes & count to ten,
In hope of getting rest so I can see you again.

This is hard to rest from with heart needing glue,
I just got to say it Larissa, darling, I Love you.

Please if you must take a step away,
Don’t ever forget those words I say.

I can barely say anymore,
Without dropping crying once again & won’t get up from the floor.


I love you Hun remember that forever more…..

What Is It That Makes You Beautiful?

Is it your face?
               Which puts my heart in the right place.             
                  
                Is it your blonde hair?
               Which makes me stare.

                 Is it your smile?
                That makes me go wild.

                Is it your heart?
             That got me going from the start,

               Is it your charisma?
              Which gets me wanting ya.

              What it is, is you being yourself,
              Not pretending to be some one else.

My Christmas

This Christmas is going to be very special to me,
I have the girl possibly my bride to be.

I refuse to give her nothing but my all,
I love how she throws the snowball.

I love every moment it makes me feel like I can fly,
I will love her till the day I die.

I want to hold her tight,
I want to hold her by my tree with all my might.

I love you so much I feel I can cry this you should know,
Take my hand Larissa Angelica please don’t ever let go.

There’s nothing I want more then Christmas you’re at my door,
You make me so happy you give me something to live for.

I will cry with you I will protect you I will die for you,
It’s Christmas the world is yours that’s what I want to do.

Christmas is usually about gifts, family, & friends,
You are the only one I need as my heart mends.

I always remember what its like to look at your gorgeous smile,
It makes my heart melt & go wild.

I pray which is rare for me,
I pray forever this love will be.

I hate to make wishes & other hopes,
Except this is too special I refuse to be the one who mopes.

I tend to be seen as lost in my faith possibly the end,
Although don’t completely count out it returning once again.

You in my life makes me a believer in some way,
Wearing a cross or Christ head could be today.

It’s scary with the thought of losing my best Christmas gift ever,
On my side the idea of leaving you I say never.

I feel you deep inside I see you & feel great,
Your smile to me is definitely bait.

This year I don’t need to see what’s under the tree with greed,
I already have everything I could ever want & need.

A Common Thing

Well hun I feel we have a common thing,
                     Who knows what this will bring.

                      We like the same team,
                  I love the way your eyes gleam.

              You like to stay athletic and in shape,
              You’ve done a great job that’s no debate.

              You know how much I love to workout,
      But I’m starting to love you more and you know what that’s about.

            I hope to God you choose my school,
      Otherwise my heart will ache and I’ll feel like a fool.

            I’ve never felt this way about anyone before,
                You are the only one I adore.

          I would love to get the chance to hold your hand,
          As well as protect you forever and be your man.

              Think of the way you love my tattoo,
                    That’s how much I love you.

              I can only hope you feel this way too,
                And give me a chance to be your boo.

College

This is where it all begins again. 
              
             Me & my friends walk on campus,
             eyeing all our peers that are like us.
              
              I realized I was finally here,
              the place I start my career.
              
              From toys, and young boys,
              High School now young men.
              
              We now have schedule changes, 
              which now our life rearranges.
  
              We travel by the dorms & houses,
        in hope that in one could be our future spouses.

              We are going to have Spring Break,
        where we may have to choose from chicken or steak.

              At the time we may party & drink,
            not truly caring what our parents think.

              But through it all we go for A's,
              not always needing to be in a daze.

The Unwritten Rules

“The Unwritten Rules”
By James De Matteo

There are some things when we bond,
They’re guidelines in which I am fond.

Things like such,
Of those I care about so much.

As we bond you shall never have another at your abode,
This pain bears such hurt causing my heart to explode.

I ask you don’t cheat whether it’s physical or just close touch,
I would never do such things to you because I know it hurts much.

To know that I give my heart to you & you play such games,
It’s like people to you are just names.

I shouldn’t be treated with such disrespect & hurt in this way,
This causing my heart to want to leave today.

I know about those who beg & plea,
I know for sure that’s not me.

However I do ask you not to try & hide,
It’s not fair to keep this from me as I remain by your side.

There shouldn’t have to be laws so you know what’s right & wrong,
These concepts should fill your heart like a song.

Don’t get me wrong I won’t be perfect I am still man,
I just know I’m going to try the best I can.

Society & change cause people to turn dark,
Believe me when I tell you my bites bigger then my bark.

I watch & look around at this corruption surrounding in our world,
With commitment looked at through marriage & nothing more,
I just know in my heart I only want one that’s you for sure.

I shouldn’t have to be your puppy follow where you go,
Nothing goes that way this I know.

If you must tear my heart out do it gently too,
Don’t stomp on my heart with a shoe.

The sad part about it all,
You’re the one who’s supposed to catch me when I fall.

If you must follow someone else do it respectfully & break,
Don’t begin doing it while my heart’s still at stake.

I cry when think of you with another,
I can only hope dearly you keep me as your only lover.

These are just things that shouldn’t have to be said,
I just figured you should know what prevents me from relaxing my head.

One of a Kind

With this ring I thee wed,
My arms can’t be removed even when dead.

Many things occur,
Past problems now a blur.

There is only one I want in my life,
Possibly one day is my wife.

I just brought you home something I had to do,
It’s only been 10 minutes I already miss you.

To me it’s not about physicality at all,
All that matters is will you catch me when I fall.

You give me something no one ever has from the start,
You’ve given me all of your heart.

I cherish that and will give you everything I got,
I will cook for you by grill or by pot.

You are gorgeous in every way,
There’s so much I can say.

You hair is soft like a feather,
There isn’t any one better.

Your smile reminds me how much luck I hold,
I can’t believe how these feelings have just started to unfold.

No one has made me feel this happy before,
I want to do stuff with you some more.

You with anyone else brings me pain,
My feelings for you drive me insane.

Through thick and thin I will hold your hand,
I want to FOREVER be your man.


You have the full package of both body & mind,
I’m so glad your mine Ms One Of A Kind.

My feelings have gotten stronger for you & I know what to do,
That is to say Mami …..I LOVE YOU

When You Know You Care

Is there a hole there?
          When in their eyes you can't stare.

            Does it hurt when you be fair?
          Even when you can’t be there.

        Number one thing is protect who you love,
          Almost like an angel from above.

    Would you risk your life like a stab in the pants?
        Just to give them a running chance.

        Would you kill those who hurt them raw?
          Even with the risk of breaking the law.

      Would you hug just to keep them closer to you?
      Kind of like Christmas & getting something new.

          This pain is amazing to bare,
          Now you know when you care.

Betrayal

Pain that hurts so deep,


Love u Seem to keep.



 

People who seem to hurt so cold,


People of today’s society mold.



 

You try to stay good,


Uncertain for sure if u longer should.



 

Is it wrong to give in?


Would it truly be a sin?



 

You no longer want to cry,


Tired of wondering why.



 

Is the best defense to use offense?


To get them before they get you?



 

Sometimes it feels to be true,


Will this stop me from being blue.



 

When is enough enough and time to be tough,


I think it’s now the world is rough.



 

Can we blame Facebook or Myspace,


Maybe put some in their place.



 

Maybe it’s like giving the keys to a car,


Now you know how they truly are.



 

Betrayal might always burn inside you,


I’m going to look out for me that’s what I'll do
