Love, Trust, Respect, and Communication

These I Can Promise:

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart's devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that's ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

Man, I'm gonna miss the sandwiches and guidance on life.
You'll always be missed.

Something SO Beautiful.I've been working on this one for a while.

You came into my life

A sweet, forbidden fragrance

So delicate…so precious…so beautiful

I could not help myself

A penetrating gaze

Words so soothing

Emotions so refined and free

I saw my heart's reflection in your soul

And quivered with doubt

Could I not fall in love with you?

I could not help myself

Drawn to you

Consumed by your spirit

War tore through my being

Hiding from my own emotions

My feelings for you

Attempts to express or even comprehend

Paled in comparison to your relentless beauty

I loved you…but could I ever reveal my feelings

To you and to myself?

The truth was revealed and secrets were released

How could you feel as I?

For so long my heart ached to know you

Understand you

Comfort you

Hold you

I could not help myself

For so long I grasped the freedom to make you laugh

Not realizing that your smile was so contagious

For so long I kept you upon a pedestal

Out of reach...unobtainable...forbidden

I could not help myself

Everything about you captivated me…

The life and excitement that radiates from your smile

The dramatic flare and peaceful serenity of your eyes

The confidant stride that brings your exquisiteness to all

The unending, unrelenting creative ocean that is within you

I could not help myself – I fell in love with you

The moments we shared are beyond words

Beyond comprehension…understanding...love

You opened your heart

Unguarded...vulnerable...understanding

You shared your life...

My heart listened with blind intent

Every story…every moment...every precious jewel

Your honesty moved me to tears

I could feel myself...yearning for more

You allowed me to taste your heart, body and soul

I thought love knew me and I it

But you brought me within love

My very veins began to burn with such passion

I could not help myself – I cooled my body in your soul's waters

Tales of love and passion have been foreign to me

They have seem so fictional

My heart ached for you – yearned for you – cried out for you

You are more than a kindred spirit as I once labeled you

Words cannot express the love I feel for you

My heart is engulfed in emotion and my soul is consumed

In flames of intense adoration for you

You – the deepest inspiration I have ever experienced

You – the purest heart I have ever tasted

You – the most gorgeous piece of art God has created

I feel as though I may never be completely whole

Without you in my life

My heart rejoices at your embracing it

My soul recalls every refreshing kiss...I savor

Every heartfelt word...I hinge on

Every enchanting fragrance...I fully inhale

Every beautiful image of you...I relish

These images are permanently engraved

I want to make poetry with you

Poetry that knows no boundaries or limits

Poetry that flows as the mightiest river

Poetry that rushes as the sweetest wind

Poetry that screams the purest love

Poetry that whispers enticing tales

If I never receive the blessing of this scribing

The sonnets that you have performed with me

Are so priceless...so precious...so intricate

Life has new meaning since you soared within

Our relationship has a new chapter –

One that I cannot put down and must read

Every last word, syllable, breath

I thirst for more

Hold this true – I will always love you

You have given me so many gifts

I never knew someone could express such love

And share it with me

Your gifts are not given in vane

I am overwhelmed and so blessed

My heart wishes to entangle with your soul
Completely and totally enveloped by your passion

You love with every inch of that which God created
You have freely given love to me

I have accepted and will cradled it forever
The love we share I have tried to express in this creation

I pray my scribing has captured but some of its being
For now, I yearn to know more of you – to love more of you

I dream of the day – a day that my heart holds dearest
When I can love you – as you deserve to be loved

...Forever quenched by your refreshed waters...

Drunken Speculation

Not quite sober

Still can't think my rhyme's over
Just writing words so they keep flowing
Never quite knowing
How this will play out
or what you're thinking about

These poems and rhymes, very lame
Don't want us to stay the same
Wanna run to save myself pain
But without pain there is no gain
So I stick it out till the end
Hoping we will be more than friends

When I look in your eyes
I have feelings I can't deny
When drunk, I can't resist
To give your lips a little kiss
These rhymes are meant to convey
How you chose him, to my dismay

Each time I kiss you it feels so right
But I also know it's going to only be that night
In the morning you will be back by his side
killing me inside
Each time it takes so much out of me
Knowing together we can't be

Sometimes I don't have the right words for you.

Who Said You Need Blood to Be Brothers?

Yeah yeah, I know. He's Spanish. So what, though? LMAO. But nah this is my niggah right here, Marvo. I can't front though, even if the average person considers him annoying or whatever, there is no other non-blood relative niggah that got my back like this niggah does. We stay going on fried chicken wing hunts, and he know them bitches be peeping us. I'm saying though this niggah cop a shorty though. I don't know why he stunting on 'em. But nah my niggah, no homo .. I got love for you.

I Love You, Mom.

Perre Shelton - "Dandelion"

Don't Go.

'Cause you make sleeping difficult
You make it difficult for me
Don't go
And you make eating difficult
You make it difficult for me
Don't go
It's almost impossible
Almost impossible to breathe
Don't go
'Cause you make living difficult
When you're not here with me
J. Holiday - "Don't Go"

Independent? Bad? .. Then Where Are You?!

It's Impossible.

You're what I love and
you're what I think of,

And not to speak of,
is what I hate,

So, that's why I speak of you,
everyday.


Kenley Jean

Don't Refuse.

Drop the bottle from your hand and I will catch you as you fall
If you try to make the effort, then I'm sure to be your all
I'm so tired of the emptiness that's there within your eyes
And I'm hoping for the strength you need to face up to your lies

I am here within the shadows watching the wars within your mind
They are playing on your demons, but did you know you play on mine?
I feel helpless when you're crying and you want no one around
You won't let me try to help you, you just knock yourself more down

I'm left waiting for the day when you will find your bottom ground
Left no choice but taking refuge in the arms that you have found
'Cause I'll be there in your darkness to provide your soul with light
When you're ready to give in, I'll force your heart to fight

I can't take another heartbreak of seeing your despair
How you let yourself beat on yourself is anything but fair
So sink back inside the shadows and succumb your soul to peace
Let me show that I can help you with the pain you must release

I won't give up on your laughter just because you're feeling weak
All have a vulnerable hereafter that we hope will never leak
Yet, I'm here to be your savior if you'd let me make it right
Step into my arms and slumber, let your sickness take to flight

The disease has harmed your spirit and it hurts me so to say
I can't take the pain you drown in, but I don't dare to walk away
Lay your head onto my shoulder, we will weather through your storms
Drop the bottle from your hand, let me show you love reforms

Kenley Jean

Sorrowful.

Imagine the sky without its clouds,
Imagine the ocean without its waves.
Imagine the night sky without its stars,
Imagine the sun without its rays.
Imagine the deepest color blue,
'cause that would be me without you.

So Can You Do Me a Favor?

"What good's all the cash, if it doesn't buy time?
and what good's being famous, if I'm never on your mind?"
Drake - "Sooner Than Later"

The Girl.

I know this girl,
who sits and waits
for the right one
to come along.
she's here and there,
she comes and goes,
but when she returns
she's always alone.
she doesn't know,
she cannot see,
that all she needs
is love from me.

Kenley Jean

That's Just The Reality of It.

Someday I will know
Why you make me glow,
Why I always smile,
And arguing is futile.
Why I do what I do
Is all because of you.
Why you chose me,
That is still a mystery.
I no longer care,
But I will make a dare...
Try to stop me from liking you,
Because it's something I can't do.

The coolest girl you'll ever meet.

Lyrical Asshole .

It doesn't start as much

With a few exquisite devotions of love
Loneliness pledged your heart reaches its touch
With symbolism you feel she is the one
First a private message and conversations, and late night sleeping and such
The eyes of lyrical vision
Are measured in each sense with written precision
A poem matches the other and then one reaches an internal decision
Commenting on poems back and forth is just the beginning
Looking over photos and it's your heart they're winning
With every simile you smile stupidly hoping if it could last for a while
And then she throws in some imagery leaving you to imagine impossibilities of the intimate intricacies ignoring the reality
Still one can't escape the everlasting effervescence of eternity
That one can share lyrically, poetically, and hopelessly romantically
Only with the eyes it begins
And as it reaches late night calls one refuses to relax and the returning restlessness of a resolution in the romantic notion
And still with the abstractness of the absolute possibility we always read first or ahead… eating or in bed
The dedication of determinate devotion denting the dire plausibility of the mentality scribed
In the exuberant words of this Poetic Crush
And then we lavishly linger because for lyrically joining in a collabo
Have you relentless like Rambo
As you blush when one is ready to meet
And as you greet, the eyes seems again to speak
Saying sincerely and solidly so much but mostly…. My metaphysically, "my most memorable and sole love…. I love you so much, My long lasting love, My one and only Poetic Crush."

"And I Do It So Easy.. I Make It Look So Easy."

Her sky's fully clouded by these dark shaded gray hues. Beautiful brown eyes, but with a 90% chance of precipitation, capable of soaking you. When we first met, you masked with that cold front, but baby, my swaggie's too Miami to dodge from.
Gorgeous, remember the coldest winter, you were in my nimbus and your cheeks were slightly hailing? And then i gave you that warm smile and those past memories started bailing? I gave you that sunny forecast, but your past was so pale and . .
I gave you that love rebate that you don't need to mail in. Baby, my love for you will always remain, no failing; 'till we end up with Bristal walkers or having to hold on to those hallway railings.

"When I Give Ya What I Give Ya"

Don't think of rough sex, but it's hard not to when you think of this rough neck
kissing your soft spots and all spots that's soft next . . . to your cli; che's pop up like
nipples when aroused by drips of that hot candle wax . . . Now can you handle that? Okay .

Going deep inside, you loving every moment,
you moaning every moment,
I'm owning every moment that we share collectively. . . My number one fan . . .
I've noticed you collecting me . . .

Don't think of yourself moaning loud like Bosè-- Stereos . Allowing a niggah like me to
re-engineer your circuitry, so that while you're in school and they ask you to identify all
things you hold dear and familiar, the pen that moves, you circle me . . . Now can you circle we?
Okay .

Stamina for days, weeks and months at a time, stuck in a fix . Looking to fix this stuck phase and get out of this maze . You've hypnotized your man because I've been . . . like this for days . . . daze on in, side yourself breath, besides yourself there are needs, that must be fulfilled .
Sex fest, I'm taste testing, just to get a taste test of them lips . . . knees .
Now walk with me in this field, please.

Don't think of us together holding each other, hand in hand, private parts occupying the other hand,
thinking about this lady, while she thinking about me, lover man. We making each other so hot I don't have to, but I'm feeling an urge to purchase another fan. I've come to your rescue my Wendy because you got me hooked
like Peter Pan . . . and every time I think about leaving you, I instantly think about pleasing you, causing me to snap back to you like your the world's biggest rubber band .
Now can we . . . kiss already . . . hold hands?
Okay.

Doing things to each other, doing it to each other . . . like this and like me I know you . . . like this, 'cause its just . . . like that ecstasy
'cause you know I'd cool you down by blowing on your sensitive areas cool . . . looking at you 'cause your next to me.

You're licking my lips, I'm licking your lips, I'm licking my lips, you throwing a fit
and the all time I'm admiring our performance saying to myself
"Oh My God, I love this bitch!"

Don't think of me in you, kissing each other like the kiss on the finger from that Monopoly-- game.
We entered into each others' thoughts like time hyper sneaky trogan horses and I know this because before we met like that movie Next I started re . . . membering things . . . by the way before you called, I lost all short-term memory but when I heard your voice, I remembered your name.

You appeared in of nowhere and out of nowhere, I'ma go there 'cause you . . . made me experience change .
Now can you go ahead already and experience change?
Okay .

Love Starvation?

it's like

dry tears and
courageous fears and
time standing still and witnessing a change in years
it's like
bodiless crowds and
whispering loud and
staring at a stormy sky and seeing no clouds
it's like
joyful hate and
boundless gates and
listening to people who agree on a topic having
a debate
it's like
immobile races and
1-person chases and
watching a baseball game but there are no bases
it's like a
scentless aroma and a
conscious coma and
seeing someone who never went to school with a diploma
it's like
motionless waves and
undesirable craves and
watching those who are truly free voluntarily becoming slaves
it's like a
pleasant doom and a
cheerful gloom and a
flower living out its full life however never did it bloom
it's like
perfect flaws and
illegal laws and
watching an audience clap their hands but hear no applause
it's like
bitter sweet and
freezing heat and
having a turkey and ham sandwich without the bread and meat (lol)
it's like
undesired wishes and
lipless kisses and
loading up and starting the dishwasher without dirty dishes
its like the
seeing blind and the
malicious kind cuz
you see how being with you is fuckin' up my mind?
it's like a
preppy thug and a
fingerless glove
damn my thoughts get fucked up whenever I'm in love . . .

but that's gone now .

Influx of a REAL Nigger .

Kenley Jean.
Young man with BIG dreams.
Fashionable guy with the appetite of becoming a future physician
.. and trust me, I'm a hungry nigger.
I enjoy buying things that the average couldn't pronounce, and I write habitually to stimulate my thoughts and intellect.
But I don't have a "stuck-up" attitude, and I don't think I'm better than others.
I grew up having nothing, so I want to die with everything. Is that too much to ask ?
A Fashion Journalist for a wife, three kids, big house with acres of land that I'm NEVER going to use.


But nah, all I got to start from scratch is:

• A Dream.
• Inspiration and Motivation.
• Your Mom.
• Pen and Paper.
• This lonely two-seater, PURPLE spaceship
• a talented, Black man searching (or waiting) for beautiful, talented female to share his dreams and future instruments of prosperity with throughout life.
