I stared and stared, thinking staring, would wake YOU….
I stared and stared, hoping my thoughts would reach YOU….
I focused on just being close to YOU….
I focused on being the first sight for YOU…
I thought if I thought long enough I could feel YOU….
I thought if you could sense me I could enter YOU….
I feel your hands on me, and I know YOU….
I feel your heart pound, and I truly see YOU…

Dear Sweetie…

Dear Sweetie,
You don’t know me
I been here, going through
The motions, the fears, the tears
It’s all I could manage,
Sitting here
Waiting for youDear Sweetie
In my mind
You are obviously
The right choice,
Subtle and powerful choice
Constantly I improve day by day
Knowing you’ll come my wayDear Sweetie
Dreams come true
Circumstances create opportunity
Now I’m bumping into you,
Cannot ever let it go
Dear Sweetie. -

Everyday…

Everyday a good morning
Only cause I say it to you
Have to admit
Got a crush on you
Love to check on you
Love the pic
I saw of youEveryday that picture
It inspires me
Staring into your eyes
Like the high school me
This crush is real
Trying to make you see
I need you with meEveryday you feel good
I feel good too
When you’re in pain
I feel that pain too
If you can’t figure out
I gotta crush on you
Do it all for youEveryday I remember
That very first day
I can see the whole scene
It plays out so slowly
Seeing your face
And I just knew
I was on the chaseEveryday I think
What did I do
Time passing in a blink
Am I doing enough for you
If I had time back
What would I do for you
Make sure you knew
That I love you. -

Without You

These voices keep telling me
That I need to believe
In something differently
But I don’t know what to do
These voices keep telling me
That I need to believe
In something differently
But I don’t know what to do
Without youThis highway so lonely
Vehicles flying right by me
Concentration lost me
Gentle rain consumes me
Guided blindly
Expecting something new
The answer so subtly
Yet I know what to do
Refusing to leave youSlowly exiting the freeway
Don’t know which way
I should even go
Mind so convoluted
It’s what I’ve concluded
Green light blaring
Just not caring
Foot stuck on this brake
Nothing more I can takeFinally seeing something
That’s looking kinda familiar
This place we use to go
Enjoying early evenings
Slow music flow
For some reason
Landed on me real slow
How long it’s been
Now we at an endThese voices keep telling me
That I need to believe
In something differently
But I don’t know what to do
These voices keep telling me
That I need to believe
In something differently
But I don’t know what to do
Without you -

Friendship

Words are used
In compelling moods
Leveraged to exaggerate
Solidifying circumstances
But I’m digging deeper
That context is what I’m after
Not a formality
When I use it
That word friend
Seldom use it
Friendship that eternal bond.Friendship’s severe requirements
it’s a self reflection
Who you claiming to be
When I needed you
You was nowhere
Don’t call me a friend
Just say that’s some dude
Cause when shit go down
Cannot depend on you
If hell is hot
Earth is nuclear catastrophe
You only a friend when you are in needGrowing up with friends
How many of us have them
Even back then only knew of
1 or 2 that would be down
Five finger discount
Creeping around their back door
Ain’t too many you can
Rely on from the door
When someone want to leave
I have learned to let them go
A few unreturned phones calls
That’s it for me, gotta go
No need to look back
No need to offend
Wasn’t really a friendThe truth is not told
Outta the mouths of witnesses
It’s in the actions of the participants
If there is anything I can do
And lose you, you was never here
Not sure why you bothered
Cause I’ve always been solo
Since I lost my father
I use to loss, breath rejection
No longer wasting time on reflection
Move on. Move up
True friendship I trust. -

Peace

Peace
Never ending pursuit
Look up to the sky
No obstacles
No barriers
Unlimited Opportunity
PeacePeace
Walk in the room
Love in an embrace
Warming fire place
Satisfied desires
PeacePeace
Sanctuary of space
Unowned last name
Natural tongue
Hands pocketed still live another day
Equal chances
PeacePeace
Uncompromising Love
Strengthened loving touch
Embraced commitment
Unyielding loyalty
Unbridled support
Peace -

No history
No meals to make
Just enjoying this spaceNo plans today
No songs to sing
No words to say
Just enjoying this spaceNo things to clean
No deals to make
No repairs to make
Just enjoying this space -

Stuck In This

Stuck in this
mass hysteria
Cause now,
for some reason,
Can’t even hear ya
So much going on
So much confusionStuck in this
Meaningful feeling
Surrounded by
Meaningless words
Crazy delusions
Creating gaps
More confusionStuck in this
Missing every minute
Thought I was safe
When I was up in it
Life’s illusion
Nothing but
Greater confusion -

Hope

I still remember you from childhood days
That constant feeling you gave on Xmas days
Anxiety deafening every move that was made
That hope, that constant hope you made.You are always there in the strangest way
Regardless of how I feel, showed me the way
When you’re not around I struggle to make sense
Ambivalent traversing life like a 6th senseClosed my eyes and see you there with pride
In the midst of the pain striving for that pride
The future of this abyss leaves me yearning peace
Transversing this void no short cut to this peaceYet, I’m still here, energy drained, still need more
Striving again to see you once more
I miss you, that newness, that hope
That anticipation, and realization, I need that hope -

Moment

Existing in this moment
Lost for a moment
Forget every moment
That I loved for a momentSlowly crying out this fear
So tired of this fear
Avoiding life in fear
Losing everything through fearUnderstanding every time
That I wasted so much time
Remember counting each time
That I lost every timeSlowly see things differently
Shall I contemplate differently
Life hitting me differently
Resurrecting new beginnings differentlyExisting in Earth’s moment
Breathing but a moment
Feeling every moment
Loved that moment -

Sigh For A Smile

Sigh for a smile
Remembering when I
Would sigh out of frustration
As an emotional release
Opening the valve
Releasing it all
Emptying my cup
Vulnerabilities and allSigh for a smile
Recognizing every trouble
Each and every trial I’ve been through
The tribulations that weakened me
Somehow ended up
Strengthened me
Lavishing in all of it
Because I am all of itSigh for a smile
Remembering the many days
When I thought
There was no other way
Holding onto the past
Cause the present
Wasn’t what I planned
Now I see the real planSigh for a smile
when I lay my head
Down to sleep
Everything I am
Is what you expected of me
Never relinquish peace
Or serenity
That alignment to destinySigh for a smile
Shaking my head
In the amount of disbelief
Remembering those that fell
Acknowledging those enslaved
Calling out to the lost
And it’s just by chance
I am not the same -

Rain Keep Falling

Rain keep falling
Please just a while longer
Protect these tears
Creeping out of me
Touching my cheeks
Mix with precipitation
Keep hiding meRain keep falling
Holding this in for so long
Staring straight into the sky
Thunderous lightening passing me by
Releasing this pain
Refusing to cry
Pain stay coming out my eyesRain keep falling
holding them for years
Counting every single tear
Falling each second
Struggling to wait a second
Calling out for strength
What am I missing?Rain keep falling
Fall on me
You’re the only one
That is supporting my need
Need to feel this and release this
Never lived without pain
Does that even makes sense -

Never Knew

Never knew a day of love
Unless it was with a day of pain
Love makes you look at things
But with a different point of view
Start to believe in people
Believing in things
As if all of a sudden
All that talk that’s been talked
Somehow it’s suppose to
Suddenly come true.Never knew a day of love
Unless it was with a day of pain
Not even sure what I’m seeing
Things look different with rain
Things so cloudy
Fog start blinding me
Pretending if I squint
Somehow I’ll see things differently
Hoping if I just go to sleep
When I wake up
Things will turn out differentlyNever knew a day of love
Unless it was with a day of pain
So engulfed in life
I shutter to even say my own name
No matter where I’m at
It’s always a lonely thing
Because love told me
To be on guard for any possible thing
Therefore when I leave the house
I stay on guard
Watching and moving
Ready to turn those hardNever knew a day or love
Unless it was with a day Of pain
The more I think about it
The more I feel it
The more I think I need it
What is it that keeps me
What is it that’s always with me
What will be there from start to stop
If not for pain
What would I even feel
Doing anything to stay away
Avoiding every opportunity
To end this pain In me -

Never Met

Every promise I remember keenly
The deep rooted voice
That African American tone
Every promise with a smile
Ingrained, fabricated with love
Explaining away idiosyncrasies
Promises need to ceaseEvery promise meant so much
Someone was listening
Felt like someone was asking
And these first few years
Just had people telling me
Mistakenly believing in me
Promises not for meEvery promise laid bear
There was a different tone
Whenever you were there
The joyous smiles that filled me
Smile or cry on cue
Did anything to avoid you
Promises were never youEvery promise dig deep
Pound of earth
Heaped on me
Started losing that purity
Started emulating what I see
Became fake, actor portraying me
Promises left meEvery promise promised more
Silence spoke for me
Lost every expectation
Of anything you had in me
Slowly moved toward my own way
Avoiding every reality the long way
Promises aweigh -

Living In This Fantasy

Living in this fantasy
Got me thinking differently
Stay considering if it weren’t fiction
What level of complacency
Would get a grip on me
Removing possibility of reality
Just to Settle downLiving in this fantasy
Birds harmonize with the breeze
Sweetest song I’ve ever heard
Don’t even understand a word
Aligning with a new frequency
People passing by consider envy
Arms outstretched accepting energyLiving in this fantasy
Absorbing the raw sincerity
Mindfully trusting in insecurity
Blinded through Undetermined fate
Sureness invading every space
As if this was real
I would be surrealLiving in this fantasy
Inadequacies growing within
Germinating from the outside in
Destroying my sensibilities
Left with nothing but hesitancies
Admiring realism
From a fantastic view -

Vulnerable

I am completely exposed
Floating around space
Not comfortable in any place
Replaying history
Dramatic mystery
Knowing it got me
Overtaken
History’s fearI am completely empty
Void of energy
Nothing sustains me
Striving toward endless hope
Watching the swinging rope
Seeing the end
Painless
Present’s giftI am completely envious
Life has no justice
Being in this body’s life
Cemented in strife
Longing for longevitY
Life’s brevity pleasing me
Searching
Future’s hopeI am at my ending
Hope stays evading
Earth spinning without me
Harmful destiny
Latching onto love
Wherever love finds me
Loving
Living eternally -

What Am I Doing Here?

What am I doing here?
What have I done
All the blessings
Given to me
Yet I still long for one
That peace of serenity
That prayer of Jabez
Bring me home at lastWhat am I doing here?
What will become
Decisions that should have been made
I ignored them with ignorance
Choices I should have made
Took for granite they would always be there
Yet here I am
Wondering where I amWhat am I doing here?
What is yet to be
When I look up into the sky
I do not see what I’m meant to see
All I see is a reflection of me
Every doubt and sacrifice
Feeling the weight of it on me
Questioning was I meant to beWhat am I doing here?
Was this life even meant for me
Looking around
Realizing that no one is around
Moving through the shadow’s protections
Supporting unreciprocated emotions
Truths rarely spoken honestly
World full of people, yet it is just me -

Depth

Depth of eternity
Discover my sanity
Peace ignores me
Evaded positivity
Attracting emptyDarkness surrounding
Doubt engulfing
Downwardly pressing
Inevitably breaking
Brace destroyingHope dissolved
Freedom evolved
Faith concentrated
Love incinerated
Light fadedStriving bounty
Screaming loudly
Brightening cloudy
Thinking profoundly
Standing proudly -

Epiphany
Blended reality
Thinking about you
Subtle serenity
Eyes closed
Feeling the imagery
Woke up to this epiphanyCasual conversation
Full disclosure
Past that hesitation
Your body aching
I’m contemplating
This sweet epiphanyOne foot in my hand
Feeling your spiritual flow
Touching every nerve ending
Releasing you from that stress
Filling that emptiness
Just that epiphanyIf it wasn’t meant to be
Why so long, this same song
Perpendicularly paralleled life
Intersecting casually
We must make reality
Living an epiphanyThrusting of love
Neo Soul hitting my ear drum
Can this be, this intimacy
Will it last past this melody
Mind is free, heart is open
The reality of this epiphany -

Don’t Leave This

Just have to get these feelings out
Cause they are driving me insane
Hard living, constant pain
Tried to ring you many times
If truth will set me free
Why I’m feeling so guilty
Tearing like a victim
Insomnia, 3 in the morningLosing you ain’t easy
Yeah I messed up being greedy
But it don’t mean I don’t love you
It don’t mean I ain’t here for you
Losing you ain’t easy
Yeah I messed up being greedy
But it don’t mean I don’t love you
It don’t mean I ain’t here for you
Losing you ain’t easy
Yeah I messed up being greedy
But it don’t mean I don’t love you
It don’t mean I ain’t here for youHas it been days or weeks?
Heart feeling weak
Dirty dishes piled up high
Don’t remember last time you came by
Walked out of the cocoon
It’s been months, I assume
Saw you at that coffee café by chance
I wasn’t even worth a glance
Just stood there for a minute
Should intersect your direction
You smiling looking so happy
Maybe I’m the one need that therapyLosing you ain’t easy
Yeah I messed up being greedy
But it don’t mean I don’t love you
It don’t mean I ain’t here for you
Losing you ain’t easy
Yeah I messed up being greedy
But it don’t mean I don’t love you
It don’t mean I ain’t here for you
Losing you ain’t easy
Yeah I messed up being greedy
But it don’t mean I don’t love you
It don’t mean I ain’t here for you -

Miss You
Missing something about you
Didn’t even get a chance to talk to you
Felt so blessed just to see you
What would I do without you
Constant friendship
Crying on your shoulder
Your encouragement makes me bolder
Inspirationally you move me
Every morning you are my energy
Miss youMissing just hanging out
When I see you, holding in my shout
It’s like I can relax and just be me
Don’t have to worry about envy
We just have this unique thing
I don’t worry about a thing
Don’t you ever change a thing
Love that you don’t want something from me
Your independent strength grooves me
Miss youMissing just talking to you
Waiting for months to physically talk to you
And didn’t get a chance to speak with you
Cause my mom loves you too
Receiving the benefit of your honesty
Setting the tone for my day with just a ☀️
Thinking, wouldn’t even be writing this
If it wasn’t for you enduring life challenges
Thank you for being you
Miss youMissing when I see you after long periods of time
Nothing better than your warming arms
Nothing more real than a real friend’s love
Separated, the curse of a 1000 Miles
Past decisions and circumstances
Yet I’m not confused you are my muse
Thoughts of you creating flow
Through these flows my spirit flow
Through that spiritual flow peace I know
Miss you -

Before the dawn

Before the dawn
Light has yet to pierce the sky
Laying here waiting on the sunrise
Darkness consumed my thoughts
Couldn’t hide lonely thoughts
Hoping with all I got
Mutually you missing meBefore the dawn
Imagining I’m laying with you
In my mind trying to find you
Are you awake, can I FaceTime you
Is there a teleporter near you
Nothing else but to dream about you
The birds singing about you
Reminding me about youBefore the dawn
It is not pain, this is a new thing
Never missed you so much
Imagining what it felt like to touch
Thankful we had time to be together
Struggling, just waiting to see you
Social media fueling me
But I need you with meBefore the dawn
The birds song is gone
Echo of nothingness
Resounding in my emptiness
Time lapsing feeling your presence
Need the sun to rise
Light the pathway
Loving you, even virtually, todayCopyright 2018 Sy Bryant. All rights reserved

I Can See You

Just realized that I love you
I can see you
even if I’m not with you
I can remember
Every single picture of you
Just the thought of you
Drives me crazy
When I realize
You not with meJust walked in the door
Seeing that I’m alone
But for some reason
This day felt different
It’s like I walked through
The same room
That I always do
But this one time
Had this vision of you
And I couldn’t figure out
What was going on
This strange understanding
As if being alone is wrong
Yet I know something missing in me
And it stays driving me crazyJust realized that I love you
I can see you
even if I’m not with you
I can remember
Every single picture of you
Just the thought of you
Drives me crazy
When I realize
You not with meHow can I make this right
How can I see you every night
What could I say
Or even pretend to do
Become a driver
Just for an opportunity
A single chance to see you
Going places I’d never go
Hoping for that moment
Where I’m holding
Holding you next to me
So people see us
And they insatiably become envious
I stay plotting on you
Loving to be deviousJust realized that I love you
I can see you
even if I’m not with you
I can remember
Every single picture of you
Just the thought of you
Drives me crazy
When I realize
You not with me -

Ever been alonE

Alone in this room,
Since yesterday around noon,
If the law of attraction is real
What does it mean when,
When there’s no one to feel.Have you ever been alone,
In that place by yourself, alone
No one to call, alone
No one to see, everyone is gone
Only thing left is….being aloneThoughts flowing freely.
Lot of people say they need me.
But in the fell clutch of circumstances
By myself, defiant
With no more chances.Have you ever been alone,
In that place by yourself, alone
No one to call, alone
No one to see, everyone is gone
Only thing left is….being aloneEvery so often meet a new face,
Dare not open up in this place.
Cause I know what I bring
But Always hesitant
when I hear the same gameHave you ever been alone,
In that place by yourself, alone
No one to call, alone
No one to see, everyone is gone
Only thing left is….being aloneI know in the end I’ll be ok
Cause time heals pain
Need faith to hold straight, so Ima hold on
This ain’t nothing new ima keep onHave you ever been alone,
In that place by yourself, alone
No one to call, alone
No one to see, everyone is gone
Only thing left is….being aloneI don’t stay down for long
I take a little time just to mourn
Each day is something new
But I know, I know, I will get through. -

I miss you

Just need you to know
I miss you.Sun setting through the trees
Last of the summer breeze
Lost in the future me
The present too much for me
Words cannot reach you
Not tryna to preach to youJust need you to know
I miss you.It’s only when the wind blows
That I truly truly know
The subtly of our existence
We cannot hesitate on this
Feel this season as the reason
Finally seeing realityJust need you to know
I miss you.Closed eyes to the moon light
Feeling the star’s gaze
Your energy moves me
Even when I’m on empty
And if the End of time is nearing me
Just need you near meJust need you to know
I miss you. -

JUST dreaming

Staring out this window
Rolling down this runway
All this power behind me
Pushing me to higher ways
Thinking about us
Pushing each other
This combined power
Rolling through life
Staring at our successJUST DREAMING
Lifting off this ground
Switching to flight mode
Transitioning across the atmosphere
Shooting through the sky
Thinking about us
Shooting for the stars
Elevating through adversity
Switching to phenomenal achievements
Lifting as we climbJUST DREAMING
Soaring over this land
Anticipating weightlessness
Gentle turns through spotted clouds
Faster and faster to level off
Thinking about us
Faster paths to peace
Gentle resolution of any insecurity
Anticipating life
Soaring indefinitelyJUST DREAMING

Innocence Fleeing

Innocence fleeing
Losing perspective
Waiting for substance
Addictive reminiscent
Focused on free
Just let me be meDimmed light
Shaded destiny
Presently grieving
Transposing seasons
Cannot feel complete
Your not with meRadioactive feeling
Cemented to the ceiling
Paralysis reaching
Depths of infinity
Pit of desperation
Darkened meResurrection
Anticipating elevation
Confused similarities
Deepened sanctity
Enlisted in fantasy
Reminding me of me -

Hypothetically
Hypothetically, Do you feel me
Hypothetically, Come see me
Hypothetically, Loving
Hypothetically, Loving YouHypothetically I love you
Cause what I’m feeling Can’t be true
All the things we’ve been through
This feeling can’t be love
Cause we ain’t in love
Hypothetically we’re together
Coming just to see you
Love it when I hug you
Tell me, how was your day?
Tell me, are you’re OK?
Tell me what to do
In case I need to love you.Hypothetically I can see you
Even when you aren’t here
I can feel you’re so near
Beauty, illuminating through you
So bad, need to see you
Loving everything about you
Hypothetically I woke up with you
Quick good morning kiss
Deep into your subtle fragrance
Planning out our whole day
Intertwined like you’re really mine
Give you the whole world, as if it were mineHypothetically, Do you feel me
Hypothetically, Come see me
Hypothetically, Loving indefinitely
Hypothetically, Loving
Hypothetically, Loving You -

Strength

Give me strength
To make it through this day
Give me strength
Find another way
Give me strength
To live another dayMountains don’t move me
Gentle wind won’t soothed me
Frustrated in this life I live
Ain’t nothing more I can give
So I’m just here tryna to Live
Staring deep sitting in the dark
Mentally out on a lark
Stars shining, show me the way
Paralyzed by all this deep miseryLonging for consistent relief
Facing nothing but disbelief
Is this the life intended for me?
Horrified by this inequity
Hands intertwined begging
Knees grounded pleading
Heart hurting like it’s bleeding
Pain always winningWould you save me if you could
Stranded in this wilderness
All of this I’ve created, just mess
I know I’m physically able to move
I know I could think about another groove
But this anchor on my soul
It really has a hold.
Just not use to failing, falling or quitting
But this pain is never endingGive me strength
To make it through this day
Give me strength
Find another way
Give me strength
To live another day -

So Warming

Sun piercing through
Reminding me of you
Glistening through the adversity
Shining and flowing capability
Struggling to articulate
The amount of love, its fate
Gentle sigh, so calming
Your spirit, so warmingOpened to the possibility
That sun shining for me
Like painters muse, not confused
Familiar lane, cannot complain
evaporated bagged emotions
Shook without you, convulsions
Deep inhale, so relaxing
Your essence, so warmingBurning away the moisture of tears
Light shining on every fear
The nights concealment
Hiding mindless sentiment
The what ifs, the if, ands and huhs
Solace of uncertain pacts
Exhaling relief, so pleasing
Your aura, so warmingThe mystery of night, or so it seems
Pleasure revealed encouraging your dreams
Pride amplified with each supportive word
Never forsake you, that’s my word
Bonded in friendship, anchored in truth
Strength unyielding, forged by our youth
Gleaming excitement, so appeasing
Your presence, so warming. -

Can I just
Can I just hold you forever one time
Feeling your heart
Beating into mine
Pulsing emotions
That fortify our devotion
Greatest love of all timeCan I just hold you forever one time
Creating this promise
Eternally within me
That we will forever be
In a beautiful state
Call it matrimonyCan I just hold you forever one time
And we just close our eyes
Opening this existence
Embedding our persistence
That intimacy got me
Floating highCan I just hold you forever one time
Won’t ever let you go
Even if our bodies depart
Souls will intermingle
Attaching to time
Loving to the end of timeCan I just hold you forever one time
Appreciating every second of the minute
Thanking god I call you mine
Slowly breathing never imagined
Such a time like this
Filled with just one kiss
