Whats been going on?

Well. I hope everyone had a great weekend and super holiday. So what's been going on? Not a whole lot. I saw some good movies, ate some good cooking courtesy of my mama. Holed my self up in a hotel room for a night. Now, im chilling getting ready for the work week. Im sitting here chilling watching Shogun Assassin, a cult classic for martial arts movie fanatics. Thanksgiving was alright. It was definitely chill. Plus the Texans won today and shut out the Titans. That was cool.

When a Man Cries...

When a man cries,
a place in his heart dies.
Whether its due to the truth or someone's lies.
And what is so strange is that most will never know.
When or even why or how
when a man cries.

Dont mistake his tears
for weakness.
Dont mistake his emotions
for oceans of being soft.
Instead lightly tread.
On and over those eyes that bled.
Heavy is his head.
His burden too often left unsaid.

Sometimes the rain will fall.
Sometimes the pain will call,
for tears.
Just let it be.
Sometimes its the only way
we can feel light and free.

An Open Letter to my Future Wife

Dear Honey,

I miss you. Though I havent seen you, you should know that I miss you. My heart yearns for you. I am so tired of going places alone. I am so tired of not having no one to talk to in the early morning. I need your advice. I need your soft eyes. I need your gentleness. My heart breaks for you. I have stored up a resevoir of tears and laughter just for you. I know Im not perfect. I know Im a piece of work. Yes, I know. I know. I know. Yet, you must know, that I love you. I cannot imagine my life without you. Strange isnt it. I havent even met you. And still I cannot get you out of my mind. Hope to meet you soon.

Love,

Richard

Finding My Way

Somehow, I will find my way to your heart.
And I will not be just one of many parts.
I will a motivating force
and not forced to play the background
or have to hear the sounds of you complaining
about him...

Instead I will bide my time.
Listen and learn while I plan this crime.
Oh yes, I plan on stealing your heart.
Leaving nothing but residue and no parts.
So I wont have hear the sounds of you complaining
about him...

Its certainly taken longer than I anticipated,
but I will be glad that I waited.
Perhaps you need your own motivation.
Instead of feeding your frustration.
Why not take a daycation?
Just one day, to not think about him...

I am finding my way,
one way or another.
Or perhaps I will find another.
So you can find someone else to complain to about him...
LORD help you.
