Have I ever told you that,
You have the most beautiful smile?
That it makes me want to be near you,
And just sit and watch for a while?
Have I ever told you that,
You have the most beautiful eyes?
That they’re full of incredible beauty,
When they grow to their near perfect size?
Have I ever told you that,
You have the most beautiful hair?
That the thought of combing a brush through it,
Is wonderful, were you aware?
Have I ever told you that,
You have the most beautiful nose?
That it stands out to make you more pretty?
I’m telling you now, I suppose.
Have I ever told you that,
You have the most beautiful face?
I hope that I’ve not overstepped here,
Or said things not really my place.
Have I ever told you that,
My thoughts have all led me to this?
I’ll finally get to the point,
Please will you give me a kiss?

10 years later, you will read this
I know It’s hard and you hate it
I’m telling you now that
You made it
Everything you are going through
Is happening for a reason
And I see why
You will understand the purpose
God has for you in life
I’m helping people
That have no one to turn to
I’m helping people now just like you
I’m writing this to you to let you know
That everything you are going through is temporary
Its to help you grow
Don’t feel bad
For what you have done
You feel defeated now but
I’m telling you, you won
You live and you learn
What you working hard for you earned
If you ever get weak
And selfish enough to commit suicide
Then there is no room for me
To help people in need
Who is going to help these people
When you die
If not you,
Definitely not me
No matter what happens, you are still alive
You are going to pull through
and receive the blessing God has for you in life
I know this
I am you
From the moment we met from the first hello
I knew this was different Right from the word go Conversation flowed
As my knees bowed, I couldn’t wait
To get to know you, my feelings for you We’re becoming true We kissed, we hugged
Our hearts melted into one
I’m telling you now I will not run
I love the way We hold hands I love the fact
We’re never apart It’s been like this from the start You care
You listen You love
Where did you come from?
Up above Life is so easy
This is how it should be Only between you and me Your sweet soul
Your kind hearts from here on in
We will never be apart.
Think this should be easy
because its not all about you its about me
I dont post this for negativity
I can spit bars like they were made to sound
il have you fools dropping to the ground
So pick your jaw off the floor
im telling you now im hardcore
So before you all start geting jealous
Im letting you know ive done all your fellas
Im not just witty with lovely smile i own this place its all mine
So show me what you got down
il leave this place its my crown
I never give advice, but I’m telling you now,
Never joke with a person who doesn’t know how….
It’ll backfire in ways you cannot even imagine to venture a guess.
Shocking you unexpectedly with unnecessary and nasty cheerlessness.
“She’s lying,” they’ll spit, sputter, slander, slather, and say,
Because they have no knowledge of any kind of play.
Matter of fact, let us leave these people out of our heads, hearts, and homes.
Best of all to block them from your relatives, friends, and brand new I-phone.
Because the negativity they bring to your life may enter your soul.
Upon which time you might lose sight of your dreams, aspirations, and big goal.
I am not being heartless, because everyone knows, this is what they’ll do.
They’ll gravitate to more of their kind, angry people who want to be blue.
My wife has been asking for a divorce
I'm thinking this time that she is right
It's been a long time in the making
And I know I've put up a good fight
All the time that we've spent together
Must now come to an end
It's true it's you that I cling to
But this is best if the relationship is to mend
Of course I'm a little bit nervous
And this will take time to adjust
But cutting ties is the best of advice
So cutting ties I feel is a must
I think back years ago to the very first call
I picked it up innocently enough
It didn't take long for you to take over my life
Where I fell under your spell, thinking it love
We've been side by side from that moment
I've held you tenderly all of this time
I'm finding it hard to let go of you
But it's best that we part and say our goodbyes
For all good things must come to an end
And we both had a good run of course
So I'm telling you now "Cell Phone" my friend
From you I need a divorce...
DON'T YOU DO IT!
Don' you do it , I am warning you now ,
There won' be no way back if you do .
Stop what you are doing and just back away ,
You must believe me now and listen to all I say .
You must get yourself ready and be prepared ,
It will hurt if caught off gaurd , so be aware.
Learn this new way of living out your life,
All will be revealed to you , you'll see I was right.
Don't you dare do it , I am telling you now ,
Be patient my friend , I will show you how.
Do as I have told you and you'll be fine ,
Life will be good again , it just takes a little time.

Poets are accused to be a liar
But here in this poem I am telling you to believe me
For the reason that though I write poems
Yet I have not become a poet
And poems are not poems either they are true confessions
The true perception and conception according to my heart and mind
Till now there is nothing wrong
Neither with me nor with my poems
We are both going perfectly hand in hand
But if I go like this few lines more
Then I fear this could be a poem and I could be a poet
No more I could hold up tight what I promised to you
I am itching to tell you a true lie
That I gave my all what I had to my love
And I was happy because she received well
So far so good, yet it does not become a poem
My honesty and truthfulness did not get any recognition
So I am telling you now a big lie that I am big poet
Do you still believe that poets do not tell a lie?
Squarely the onus is on you, I am getting late bye , bye!
Its hard for me to find the words to explain.
Everything that you've invested, tears, sweat, and the pain.
Your dedication is a small measure of your worth.
In my eyes, a better woman has never walked the earth.
Life hasn't been easy, yet you took it in stride.
Noone suffered such hardships, and yet you do it with pride.
You made miracles, even when it wasnt enough.
What else, if that doesn't define a mother's love?
Telling you now, if you don't know how important you are.
I'll go out on a limb, there's no distance too far.
Cause to put it simply, i owe you too much.
My respect, admiration, and unconditional love.
You are my beginning, my end.
You're every woman, you're my sister, my mother, and friend.
A search for you wouldn't turn up none in a million.
You're irreplaceable, mama, you're a one in a billion.
You Said I Was Ugly
You said I was ugly, and I don't really give a damn or care
Why did you pick me, don't you know you're like a bear?
You said I was ugly, then why did you give me the stare?
I heard you say that night, you could have anyone woman
how do you dare?
You said I was ugly, even though you thought I was rare!
Rare like what, rare like an open book when a page tears
You said I was ugly, and sometimes I really don't care, there
Why did you pick me, don't you know you're like a cranky bear?
I remember that one night, you lovingly took me out
And I saw you making flirt with a woman who always danced
about!
You said I was ugly, well maybe now I am telling you now I
don't give a hootin' and a shout!

I Am A Lioness
I am an alluring inviting fiery lioness
Many know my heart and my soul is truly uniqueness
My main attraction my long and lushes of tresses
As beauty within my well astonishing body of form
Into the wild-life habitat to which where I do thus roam
My sharp shiny teeth are as strong and bright as life
Whom I am and to many of mankind I cannot describe
Though my carnivorous characteristic traits I can’t hide.
I’m telling you now I’m the ravenous fiery lioness
I clearly thus roam and own this wild-life around and around
With my head held high in the vast land of this wilderness bound
I was minding my own business and oh no found I was trapped
Thus viciously was enraged and fiercely locked in a cage
Then never saw my beloved they put me on display
Fiercely was running away from it all for I frowned in dismay.

Monstrosity of Wind
Can you not feel that monstrosity of wind?
There is a harshness that’s doing a swoosh
The ill-fated thundering sound of a deep crash
Is it thrashing about without a care in the world?
No one can hear you talk with the thundering storm
I’m telling you now so be forewarned
Better hold on tight to your britches
Before they fall down into ditches.

hark!
the beach is calling my name!
there it is again!
i hear her when i clock in!
i hear her when i clock out!
i hear her in the center of my focus!
i hear here on every frickin break!
i'm telling you now, one day IMMEDIATELY after work,
i am gonna go straight to my old faithful!
i am gonna hit whatever number highway south!
i am gonna drive like the earned heart until my right foot goes to sleep!
i am gonna keep said sleeping foot on the doggone pedal like super glue stubbornness!
when i answer the beach's call, i am gonna park old faithful!
i am gonna walk ever so slowly across the beach access!
the instant my feet hit that wonderful sand, i am gonna rejoice!
the closer i get to the water, i am gonna rejoice some more!
at the first hint of the water's feeling and rehabilitative touch, i am gonna just wade!
at the point of full submergence, my attitude is gonna be....straight on up....DAMN THE WORLD!
....AND THERE YOU HAVE IT....AND BOOM....HERE I AM!
( I THINK I LOVE YOU )
Everything I do
Everything I say
You love me in every single way
From a kiss to a touch,
to your hand on mine
I think i love you very much
I can only tell by time
Memories of us together
that wont seem to go away
That are with me, constantly each day
As days go by,
i can't picture you with out me,
cause i keep thinking how much I love you constantly
People have strived
and told me how good we are together
fulfilling eachothers lives, with one another
Everything you do
Everything you say
I think im falling for you more and more each day
It scares me sometimes
to think about how much i care for you
wishing and hoping you feel the same way too
Im telling you now
how i really feel
Im being true to you
and being for real
(c) Jasmine Paul 11-17-2014 free verse
I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY
TOMORROW THE SAME WAY
I LOVE YOU TODAY
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
I TOLD YOU THEN
I’M TELLING YOU NOW
I’LL TELL YOU AGAIN
I GIVE YOU MY VOW
I LOVE YOU IN DAY LIGHT
I LOVE YOU AT TWILIGHT
IT ALL SOUNDS SO TRITE
BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT
KISS IS SPARK TO IGNITE
HEART BEATS LIKE DYNAMITE
EVERYTHING IS SO BRIGHT
OH YES, IT FEELS SO RIGHT
