Ten Thousand Years

For ten thousand years
I’ve dreamt of the possibilities
…have known that you might someday be
The best thing ever to happen to me

For ten thousand years
I’ve watched circumstances and adversity
Mold you into the beautiful woman…you are
I’ve loved you…from afar
With only my dreams to carry me through

No…I wasn’t stalking you

But I loved the sway of your path
As you moved through each day
With every way your life turned
I wanted to say…

I love you

But it was never the right day
Or, the right time
Or, I couldn’t imagine you being mine
Or, some other kind of excuse would get in the way
And…I could never find the right words to say

I love you

And, though it’s true
I could never seem to capture the essence of you
But my dreams have carried me through
A lifetime of “Want and desire”
…Of the most intense fire
A body could ever contain

All in the course of my dreams…of you

Ten thousand tears, I shed
When I heard that you had wed
Tying your heart to another
Knowing I could never be your lover
My heart bled tears of many sorrows
As every “tomorrow” rained down on me
Allowing me to see another day…without you at my side
Yes…I cried tears of anguish…and great pain
As I imagined
Over…and over…again
All the joy we could have shared
…How deeply I’ve always cared
Only to be looked over
Yet, again

Ten thousand heart quakes…That ache
Each time I think of you with another
Husband or lover
It doesn’t matter…it’s not me

This empty shell of a person I’ve come to be
As shattered dreams and hopeless romance
Drained the life of me
All because we didn’t take a chance at
“You and I”
…Didn’t try to fulfill our destiny

Ten thousand looks at
Right and wrong
Leaves me…all alone
Coz…never once did I invite you along
My river of Happiness

‘Til now​

Very Nice baller

But it was never the right day
Or, the right time

There is no right time.
The next moment and especially the next day isn't promised.
Love is the most elusive thing.
Many try to capture it, by commitment and a ring
But love will not wait for anyone.


Ten thousand looks at
Right and wrong
Leaves me…all alone
Coz…never once did I invite you along

So go for it always like you will
Never see that person again.
Live somethings in the now.

This a great write poet. I liked this flow.

‘Til now​

There you go, you know
After 10000 years
Dreaming that I can be
Everything I always was

The whole reason I was made
Was to encompass your love
Did you ever think that maybe while I was
In the distance
I was looking for you
And you being away
Is what made me blue

I took a chance on you
I took a chance on me
How come you didn't see
us
You just saw the beauty of lust
All I ever wanted was your trust
And to know that just I AM enough

You can never invite me down your river
Because I AM the river
And if you weren't always feelin sorry for yourself
You would feel me there and know I care
Your just unaware
that I AM everywhere

I had a fantasy
of the man I love
Finally
Because I never had one that was my own reality

But he touched me, I heard him and he consumes my gaze
He is the sun, and his eyes are my rays
And when we combine
It's rapturial perfection
We peak at the same time
And I take his erection
And at the moment of orgasm
I need no protection
Because when he enters me
It's only with thoughts of inception

Love and Life
I am his wife

Forever
