Kandii Smith Poem
Dear Diary,
I woke up this morning feeling depressed
I don’t know why I have a lot on my chest
Laying here in my bed
I got a million things running through my head
I gotta get up and I gotta leave
Through all these emotions and feeling numb I gotta breathe
Sometimes I feel like I’m not worth it
When I rationalize I know that I don’t deserve it
Thinking of all my reasons of being here and my purpose
When I calm down and think about it I haven’t even scratched the surface
Beauty is pain….
Sincerely,
The dark side of my room

Kandii Smith Poem
I don’t have to see nor have to blink but, I like to think of your eyes as the stars in the sky. So bright it penetrates my eyes. It’s proven that it takes longer for light to travel to earth before we are able to see it. The stars are dead and lifeless but the brightness runs through it and we see their worth. I look up and gaze at them wondering how big and how bright they really are. If I can compare seeing them face to face.... I can describe your eyes to the naked face. Big beautiful and so detailed. It’s like I’m caught up in what everyone else wishes were their fairytale. How great God is to create your eyes, the galaxy to look up at and remember our best times. I remember the first time I fell in love and even my eyes pearled, and I thought to myself “How blessed I am to have him in my world.” So mesmerizing I get sunk in. I even got a daughter whose eyes are your twin. Even though they are different colors, so is the world, the sky and its many colors. Yes stars are an abundance of gas. And I also know NOBODY can see through you like I do, as if I’m looking through a transparent glass. Even if you’re away, I can always look up in the sky and say.... different shapes, sizes and many forms, You’re eyes in my galaxy are the only ones I adore.

Kandii Smith Poem
When I think of you, I think of you as my color yellow.
Bright, beautiful, happy and drawing in like the sun. Your energy is captivating. Your love is warm and full, giving me a hug so tight and embracing not letting go.
I don’t want to let go and at times I seek shade.
The color of you will eventually fade but your light shines bright within my chest as it beats.
You are my living testimony of my favorite color. My favorite heat wave from the chemistry of our love on this earth exists.
Hydrogen and oxygen will never die down our fire. You are my sun, the light that I desire.

Kandii Smith Poem
Time keeps going
My love keeps ticking
My hands keep revolving
Over the numbers shared
With you
For a moment
My little hand
Stopped and stood still
On a 9
Imagining a cloud beneath me
I’m floating
This is how you
Make me feel
I looked up
Met you at 11:11
We reset
Time begins again….

Kandii Smith Poem
Feeling you snug and secure on my left side is always my side of choice for you. No matter in light or darkness I can always rely on your word. Every hour, minute, and second. As much as life has us spinning you never seem to complain. Continuously spinning in circles in my face and in yours. It’s like my heart is synchronized with your constant beat. Whenever I feel uneasy or unsure I can always look at you for reinsurance to put my mind at ease. Stop my heart from racing. I can’t control how life just keeps going. Continually flipping over the hour glass. It never stops. Just like how I rely on you.... so does the rest of the world.You help me see digital. No matter the price we all have the same concept. We all need the same comfort. A wake up call. I could never chose anything else over you. Nothing can satisfy or organize my life and my mind like you. You bring me piece. And I feel peace. So shiny and glorifying. I’ll always wear you well. Rather it’s on my left side or keeping you close in my pocket. Sometimes you can get wound up. Sometimes we all need a battery to keep us energized again, or we can hop on the solar bandwagon and ride this wave together. I always wanna feel you beat against my skin. Your my metronome. I feel safe with your hands all over me. Steady, hard working and consistent with out worry. There will be a day where you stop for me and I’m no longer here. But you will be. Passing a dozen obstacles and never running out of strength is admirable. Your power will live on. You carry our legacy. We’ve made history. You’re love is timeless.
