Soft subtle shades of azure blue
Tints the skies and the eyes of you
Silently worshipped from afar
You're the sun, the moon, and evening star
The dewdrops glisten on your skin
Enticing the tepid hearts of men
But as for me, no words I'll find
Too timid just to speak my mind
i get you,
your obscure words
meaning the world to me.
your innocence
very dear to me.
yes i get you…
meanwhile,
my cursory mind
rests at the feet of forbearance
misfit to feel your longing.
i hold back
for my strictures are strong.
but i feel it,
the intense you.

Ladybug received flowers from a secret guy
She suspected it was her neighbor Cy
They kept coming almost all of her life
He finally confessed, and she became his wife
I get weak everytime we talk, my walls come crushing down without a thought ,
My heart flatters at your voice,
Though we've never met I don't feel any paranoid,
I put some distance because Iam scared, What if I fall head first and break my neck, What if I spend another few years trying to convince you Iam worth loving, that Iam worth it,
So many what ifs rushing through my head,
Iam naive in my actions and you make me lose my vocal cord,
I refuse to tell a tale incase I jinx this,
See, I don't mind having you as my own,
I don't mind loving you without a thought,
I mean, Iam already vulnerable,
See, I have come across many men but the type you are, I have never, the type you are is quite rare.
I love you from a distance ...
Am so close but with space ...
You're like the sun so warm and beautiful ...
But like the sun , if I come too close you will burn me...
I watch mouth gaped from a distance ..
I've never been the type to say what I feel,
So basically I keep everything inside
And with you it was no different.
I want to tell you, believe me I've tried
But there's part of me that just can't take that chance
So I doubt that you'll ever know
Which may be fine with you, but it's hurting me.
I choose not to show it though
I guess I'm your secret admirer
That name seems to fit just right
I don't know what I like about you
But you're on my mind, day and night
Maybe it's the way you look
So sexy I can't get enough
Or how you make me feel when you come around
I instantly forget all other stuff
Maybe it's the way you say my name
Or maybe it's the way you smile
Then again it might just be everything
Getting to know you seems worth of my while
But I guess I'll never know what it is.
My true feelings I could never reveal to you,
I'll just admire you from a distance.
I'm not sure what else there is to do
O Rebecca, O Rebecca Thy Starbucks Princess Is Waiting
I am so nervous to ask her out; just procrastinating
Sitting here sipping my daily Teavana Earl Grey Tea
I daydream of her one day in my arms; to be unshackled and free
O Rebecca, O Rebecca Thy Starbucks Princess Is Waiting
I fear her saying no to me; It would be so devastating
My passionate burning heart beating faster and accelerating
Just the two of us in Bryant Park gracefully ice skating
O Rebecca, O Rebecca Thy Starbucks Princess Is Waiting
She is all humbleness; I feel her heart also is intensifying
I see her soft glowing face; my baby blue eyes are dilating
"Ask her out, ask her out" my heart keeps advocating
O Rebecca, O Rebecca Thy Starbucks Princess Is Waiting
Her long legs and silky blond hair are always fascinating
Why is asking her one simple question so complicating
Hear Ye, Hear Ye, my courage and self-esteem one day will be elevating
Walking into the strong coffee fragrant Starbucks cafe
On this cool, brisk September day
My eye catches a tall and slender blonde barista
I slowly got out of my daze, but I was not in a siesta
She is a Female ADONIS, very tall and slender
Watching her make a cafe latte with a blender
I do not bother her at work, she always looks too busy
When I see her sometimes, I go into a daze and feel dizzy
I fear talking to a pretty princess; for a man it is not so easy
I may say something dumb that sounds oh so cheesy
Like the nerd I am too shy and nervous; so uneasy
At least I am not a typical college football hunk that is all sleazy
She works diligently on the latte, extra creme
Looking at her working, I feel like I am in a dream
Ask her out with confidence one day, I ponder and daydream
I fear she is too good for me because of my low self-esteem
I shall write to her how I feel in a Secret Admirer Letter
She is so pretty and gentle; I try not to upset her
A Starbucks blind date with her may be better
If our blind date and future all fails, for all eternity I will never forget her
Your Beauty glows like an apple,
Blossoms as sweet as the rose in the purest hope of Spring.
My yearning heart rises to your violin voice and leaps
like a wolf at the soft whisper of your name, Rebecca.
The evening ascends on a great vulture wing. I am calmed by
you glowing smile that I carry into the twilight of the night and
hold for eternity in my mind. I am filled with such hope that I may
dry your tears of water.... your tears of Loneliness.
As my body descends onto my left side and enters the Sandman World, I envision your Natural Beauty as it gives me Hope and Change for tomorrow. I await in the crystal moonlight for your secret mental invite prior to entering through The Sandman.
Then, we enter as one, two souls becoming one, in search of the glorious Chosen One and eternal spiritual connection of love.
She is a : Madness chaser
Problem facer
Very good pacer
Better acer
Worry banisher
Grieve vanisher
Chat master
Run's faster
Sadness cleaner
Sometimes meaner
Always a mate
Together by fate
Good writer
Better fighter
Bore wrecker
Awesome trekker
A fancy cheerer
Mostly nearer
She is always around
Our closeness is bound
She is one of a kind
Always together bind
Always beside
Never aside
Her trust never bends
'Cause she is my friend.
If rhyme belittles verse then let it be;
At night the sun outshines eclipsing moon.
And though no green is seen on any tree,
By shrouds of dark unwind the bright cocoon.
Around in circles back to where we start,
Let footsteps never trace or hold your hand;
I’ve seen you smile. I’ve felt my breathless heart.
I’ve written poems I don’t understand.
Yet, who am I to speak, besides unknown?
In truth, I often ask the very same.
From youthful chords reverb an ancient tone;
My measures merely sing without a name,
But yours I whisper; may joy be upon it;
This poet declares your beauty his sonnet.
The sunrise dawn for day of a kiss a pond a tree
Run river run dry I be the rift to carrier you home
If love is blind is must be carrying a bond
And for every note detail goes unknown
The sunrise dawn for day a kiss a pond a tree
Break of a bridge the mirage of a a painting
What hoax of magician is the photo trying to with hold
Darkness of a circle move to new mood of night fall
Hands of a dancer and swift legs like a dagger
The sunrise dawn for day a kiss a pond a tree
How long will you play such games?
O you!
Creature of beginning to the end,
given heart by the Creator of all men.
By all means,
you should understand, the gap between where we stand.
By all means,
please keep your heart safe, hide deep in the protected cave, avoiding mine.
Cause I need my own time and space,
where in the end you'll be amazed,
for it is the right time to gaze..
O you!
Please. Provide me with no harm,
Entertain me with your absence,
For it will be the sweetest moment of charm,
While waiting for our presence.

I saw her and I knew
I knew I was doomed
Her smile, poetry in motion
Her curves, waves in the ocean
Natural, her skin's like canvas
I hope she likes these stanzas
They're all for you
For you & what you do
To me, completely unaware
I'm trying hard not to stare
Imagining you bare
Ohhhh, this isn't fair
Fairy tale, cartoon
I knew I was doomed
a lovely shrine on a cliff
surprising secrets
remember me forever
