This piece is one of the first I wrote while part of BPG (Black Player's Guild). This org on campus was geared to helping pull out the creative gifts and talents of everyday students and give them a chance to show what they were made of. What a great experience that was! It was actually one night in BPG where my love for writing poetry reignited, and I haven't looked back since :) Enjoy!

UNREQUITED LOVE
SIMPLE SOUNDS OF EVER AFTER
PLAYGROUND FULL OF SUNSHINE
YOU TEETER MY TATTER
KNOWING THIS MOMENT WILL SOON TAKE A BOW
DON'T EVEN MATTER
CUZ WE'RE LIVING IN THE NOW
LIKE NOTES IN A MELODY
THE SOFTER YOU SPEAK THE MORE YOU EMBED INTO ME
FROM THE BIRTH OF YOUR MEMORY
CAME MOMENTS TO TREASURE
LIKE THE BREEZE IN MY DREAMS
THE MAGNITUDE IN MY HEART COULDN'T MEASURE
NOW THIS MOMENT IS TRANSITIONING INTO FOREVER
SO CHANGE IS INEVITABLE
AND THAT ALLOWS OUR BEINGS TO TRANSPIRE
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND INSTANTLY I'M INSPIRED
YOU MUSE THE VERY THOUGHTS IN MY SOUL
WHICH WASN'T EVEN REQUIRED
BUT ALL I KNOW IS
I LOVE YOU AND YOU LOVE ME
IT'S ALL DUE TO MOMENTS LIKE THESE
WHERE HOLDING YOUR HAND
WHILE LOUNGING ON THE LAND
EASES MISCONCEPTION INTO DEFEAT
AND THE NOT-SO-PERPLEXITY OF UNKNOWN COMPLEXITY
TENDS TO HOLD THE BEST OF ME
ESPECIALLY WITH YOU NEXT TO ME
AND THIS MOMENT RIGHT HERE
THIS VIBE IS INVITED
AND I'M DELIGHTED
JUST TO BE HERE
