For Trayvon Martin by Reuben Jackson

beautiful poems about life

I think that all I have ever wanted to do is write beautiful poems about life. I was living it and I was grateful for the everlasting spirit that gave me this gift. Every day I say "thank you." I don't think I could have shared this world with better people. I found the good in all people even when it proved otherwise. 

Come get you some! There is plenty of life for the taking and you should definitely be a part of this.

Slip and Fall

I just had a slip and fall, I looked into your eyes and knew instantly where I wanted to be. I was being a fascists and not a reserved one. I threw all my reservations out the door and in the end there I was, a boy staring at a girl to the point of stupidities sake. I was being pulled forward and backward and all directions in between and in the middle of it all was you at the center of my world. 

Thank you for everything that is you and htat makes me a part of you. I could have seen teh world dfiferently but I am glad I had the opportunity to see it with you. 

Ode To Poetry Vibe

I wanted to take a moment to give homage to Poetry Vibe. We have come a long way and I think we still have a longer way to go. In this instance and living in this present moment, I want to say "thank you."

You have taught me that to live is to perservere and we are always moving forward. 

short poem for loss of loved one

I am on a pure rant today. I wanted to keep this short and in the area of this topic: short poem for loss of loved one. How do you tell someone that you miss them when they are no longer here. You feel like you have lost the moment but a part of them still remains with you. 

You thank God for every blessed moment and know if your heart of hearts, that they graced your life for a reason.

best friend poems that make you cry

I really thought about this and I wasnt sure I wanted to talk about this subject: best friend poems that make you cry. I have had this happen in my life just too many times. None of them were forgotten and as short as their span was, they made a difference in my life. I took a page from their book and moved forward. I had things to do and lives to impact and hoping all along the way that I made an impact. 

This world is special and more so because you and I are a part of it. We created something wonderful here and we shared it with the world. That gave us the courage we needed to continue on. I hope I am speaking for all of us or I could just be speaking for myself. 

Either way I know that you and I made a difference here.

Pumpkin Pie

I just had the best slice of pumpkin pie and it is not even Thanksgiving yet. The way it was served up made me think about my life and it was buttery. Not overdone with butter but just enough to make me think about how much butter was in it without being overwhelming. 

Heck, I started to write a poem about it and the only thing I could think about was more. I wanted more and I still want more. 

And this what its like to be forever thankful.

Thanksgiving

I would like to take a moment to give thanks, I have been doing it since I woke up this morning. I thanked God for another day and I maximized it. I was gifted and I wanted to share this gift. I wanted to do it amongst friends and that is why I am here with you. 

Its your time to give thanks poet. You were meant to be a part of this world and your gifts are not to be underestimated. 

Plant Based

You should have seen the way I planted my foot in his a**, he was talking sideways and based on the angle of my foot, so was I. Disrespect means that extreme boundaries were crossed, the ones you do so intentionally. I had to correct the Universe and let him know what was at the end of that corridor.

You should have heard him, he was saying "Ok, thats enough." and my response is that I stop when I feel like its settled. He wasnt settled with that response and that didnt stop the agony and pain. I was stretching both out and when I finally came to my senses, the Universe was back in balance. 

Voice Recognition

I know you heard me, you turned off your voice recognition. You were clicking on 2 cylinders when you could have been running on 8. You could have become infinite but you only had half of the story. You left out my half and now we are here. 

You questioned everything that I had planned for us but took no responsibility for the outcome. You had a feeling and it wasnt rightfully so because behind that feeling there was no conviction. You would not die for your cause and I would have gratefully died for you. 

Excuse Me While I Kiss The Sky

You didnt think I would make it in this world and the is that I was never really after the world. I almost mastered the psychology of being true to myself.I have one last hurdle and collecting gold medals along the way. I have mastered this thing call life once I fully master this thing called fear. 

I was afraid but no Im pissed and I find something else brewing within me. I have stirred the pot and the aiming for the stratosphere. So excuse me while I kiss the sky. 

Muah.
