Poet Laureates - This Boy

There's This Boy...

So there's this boy...
Yeah, this boy...
He's tall, caramel skin
Can dress for days
And has swagger for years
Hard to find that now and then in anyone
This boy...
This boy has an inexplicable charm to him
Knows how to handle business
Knows how to hold a conversation
Knows how to hold someone down
This boy...
This boy always has an ear open
And an open mind to match
Music is his heart
Art is his soul
This boy...
This boy's known for his smile
Known for putting a smile on a face
Funny how he lights up a place
Makes any heart begin to race
So there's this boy...
Yeah, that boy...
And I'm scared of him
I'm devastated by him
I'm frightened by him
Because I'm feeling him

Part Two of my expose on the Phoenix Rising. I've become a super-admirer of his work. It makes me want to get back into writing. I do miss it terribly.

Poet Laureates

The first of a two-part expose on a fantastical poet-blogger that I ran across. Send some support his way. There's tons more for your reading pleasure at his blog - Phoenix Rising

Dedicated to the one sparking my interests now and in the future.

Companion

I don't think boyfriend fits your description
Why be like any boy that's my friend?
In a world full of labels
I need one that would fit the way that we are
I feel that you complete me
You support and respect me
You make me a better person
And your drive for success is an inspiration to live
In return I owe nothing but love to you
Whatever is mine will indubitably be yours
No need to hesitate, no reluctance required
I can be myself without you passing judgment
And that is the love I feel from you
You are simply a gift from the heavens
That kiss of fresh air when you step into my space
I feel a natural high with every inhale of your scent
And a sense of euphoria with every word you speak
You are my companion
Because no matter where we end up in our lives
You will always be by my side
Love unchanged, feelings undone
Honesty at its best, loyalty at its peak
I love you in every sense of love
And you are my companion for life
