I want to hold you like sacred space
Like the prayers of the little girl I used to be before life made miracles seem impossible I want to kiss you like hopeful Like the anything I believed in before humanity taught me how to bleed Can I just be the need you actually want The lover that doesn't turn into a memory of regret I don't want to be a memory, but I want to be a part of them I want to be the someone behind your smile The dancer you share moonlight with Let's make love the stage our hearts will applaud at the climax of forever And we will perform the encore for the rest of our lives

It's not that I have forgotten you
It's just that when you left & closed the door behind you, I ripped open my chest & hid the key beneath my ribcage That way I could remember how painful it was to love you And not to go back #diaryofadayumpoet *CLIP*
"Lesson One: Never breathe in the chaos because you will choke on humanity’s lack of being humane They will turn you into a tragedy that is only written down to sell books and not to save hope They will pull woes to the surface of your chest and convince you that you’re only living to die They will use your insecurities to cut ankle and make you believe you ain’t got nothin… Nothin to stand on They will write the chaos on your skin like it’s your identity And not just a part of your wholeness And if you let them, they will brand you hopeless So don’t you let them" #diaryofadayumpoet Kiss me like summer...
Back when the streets were safe... Before paper soldiers and Scarface wanna BEs littered the block #diaryofadayumpoet While soul searching,
I tripped into your world Fell in love with the way your lips released your voice I fell for the hope in you the light lacing stars on the tip of your tongue the way you walked rhythm into blues the way you cried sunset on every horizon the way you cuddled my breath like future the way you wrote silence so loudly down my spine, and reminded me of beautiful the way you said my name like the falsetto of a love poem You took me to forever and back again so I could feel us on repeat Your fingertips took me to heaven and let the neighbors hear the God in me My heartbeat murmured your name So sweetly, you showed me motion rocking... rolling... And I no longer felt like myself... I felt like us ... #dL #diaryofadayumpoet Late night conversations
about what we would do if we could do... some thangs Some unholy thangs that pull the religion from our throats that choke moans from our brown bayous that mix like head boards and R. Kelly in the rain that pour that fill that spill into fantasies being pimped out by our hearts ... #diaryofadayumpoet "Dear Future... I apologize for taking you for granted Haphazardly thinking you would always be there But now I cherish you Reach back for me... Just one more time And I swear I'll be more careful with your possibilities..." -Melanie YeYo Carter- #diaryofadayumpoet My new single, "The Side Chick Poem" is now available for purchase and download!!!!
