K.M. Braxton Poem
Strength is not the
resistance of
falling,
nor the man who
moves mountains by
force.
It is not determined
by weights lifted,
nor the beads of
sweat that trickle
from his brow.
It is not muscle. It
is not efficiency.
Strength is not ease
displayed in
adversity,
nor the prevention
of shedding tears.
It is not determined
by hills sprinted,
the lack of aches
and pains after
exercise.
It is not hardness.
It is not power.
Strength is the rise
from tragedy,
the man who moves
mountains by faith.
It is the lone
blossom daring to
bloom in snow,
the drive erected
from words meant to
defeat.
It is persistence.
It is aspiration.
It is valor.
It is you.

K.M. Braxton Poem
Sitting there so beautifully-
the one who had stolen my heart from me.
I walked right by to catch his eye,
but caught a pole instead.

K.M. Braxton Poem
My skin touched yours,
our eyes closed,
lips touched,
and in that moment
I saw an adventure.
How lucky am I
to travel through love
with you?

K.M. Braxton Poem
January’s snowy
nights
Feelings that I
think are right
The smile I get when
you’re in sight
I think that I’m in
love
February’s rosy
hearts
Dying when we are
apart
Valentine’s candy,
sweet and tart
I think that I’m in
love
March’s greenery is
growing
Strong affection
surely showing
Gentle breezes
gently blowing
I think that I’m in
love
April is slow with
steady rain
Without you, my
heart bears such
pain
And no happiness can
I sustain
I think that I’m in
love
May’s flowers and
variety
Feeding into our
anxiety
As one, we’ll fight
society
I think that I’m in
love
June is filled with
summer fun
We play, we laugh,
emotions run
Toes are baking in
the sun
I think that I’m in
love
July my heart beats
wildly for you
Praying that our
love will be true
By your side in all
that we do
I think that I’m in
love
August flying by so
fast
Love’s the scene and
we’re the cast
Promises to make
this last
I think that I’m in
love
September’s way of
slowing down
Hoping that you’ll
stick around
Without you I’m a
foolish clown
I think that I’m in
love
October’s pumpkins,
plump and gay
Pleasant thoughts
I’d like to say
A perfect future on
its way
I think that I’m in
love
November’s winds and
starry skies
Vast, deep oceans in
your eyes
The softest words
that hypnotize
I think that I’m in
love
December’s flurries
filled with glee
My love says, “Will
you marry me?”
My heart shouts; I’m
his bride to be
Oh boy, am I in
love!

K.M. Braxton Poem
When my hand is in yours
and boyish smiles creep across my face,
I hear love whisper in my ear
and finally convince me
there is so much more to life
than simply surviving it.

K.M. Braxton Poem
Your words are soft and steady in my hand
running away through the dark ink in my pen
getting carried away
making love to each sheet of paper
Kissing corners of pages, curling corners of mouths
while by passers rejoice to see true young love
with passion and honesty as each letter is formed
making love to each sheet of paper
Shivers dance down my spine
passing through every inch of my body
as my pen begins caressing, gently
making love to each sheet of paper
The sound of your voice echoes purely
provoking a deeper act of love
as I pour out the contents of my soul, while
making love to each sheet of paper
I twisted with delight as my chest sunk and rose
at an increasing rate-
that unreal feeling you get, after
making love to each sheet of paper

K.M. Braxton Poem
I was asked to describe the feeling of love,
and had every intention to do so.
But as I began to analyze it,
the only things that came to mind
were how wonderful it feels
to have your body close to mine,
how the warmth of your breath on my skin
matches the warmth in my heart,
and the comfort of the rise and fall
of your chest beneath my dreams.
And if that is love,
only I have the pleasure of knowing it.

K.M. Braxton Poem
I missed that feeling when we touched so much,
I crashed into you, full throttle
led by my desire to feel our bodies generate heat.
My skin craved the warmth of your breath,
ached for the feel of your hands
searching my body for hidden treasures.
I love the way it felt when our bodies intertwined,
our shapes and structures distorting
as our bodies blended into one.
The beauty of our affection
would put all lovers to shame
at their inability to emulate a love so honest.

K.M. Braxton Poem
secrets whispered 'cross his lips
with power to sink battleships
a simple story, old and new
beginning with an i love you...
allowing for a ride of fate
with words of love and words of hate
but always filled with passion brewed
beginning with an i love you...
and ending with the kiss of death
a lonely tear, a hold of breath
a shattered world, a heart in two
beginning with an i love you...
