The LOVE

15 Tuesday Jan 2013

Tags

@tonyhaynes, Blog, Facebook, Love, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Relationships, Romance, Twitter, Writing

love with hearts
Love, baby the love

That’s what keeps us
Here longer than we should be
Ever near much stronger than it would be

Love, baby the love
Only love can make us all we could be
Void us out sometimes we ponder, should we?
Each annoyed can we break up? We ask how could we?

…And even if we did, how would we
Not get back together?
In our hub it’s crazy enough
But we weather through whatever
Because of the love, baby the love

“How Do I Reach You?”

27 Friday Jul 2012

Tags

Facebook, Life, Love, Maya Angelou, Music, News, Poetry, Relationships, Tony Haynes, Twitter, Writing

H ow do
I reach you?

H ow do I start to move on and begin
O pening up to open you up
W hen closure hasn’t come to an end

D o I reach you when you break?
O r beseech you when you bend?

I can meet you in the middle, but what happens after then?

R oads can only go so far
E ven I am not invincible
A nd I’m not gonna say you are
‘C ause that would not be sensible
H ow do I learn a new lesson to teach you?

U-turn & return, tell me how do I reach you?

“The Rhythm Of A Better Life”

04 Wednesday Jul 2012

Tags

@paulamunos, @tonyhaynes, Arts, Facebook, Love, Maya Angelou, Music, Poetry, Relationships, Romance, Tony Haynes, Twitter, Writing

I am without borders
Still within a trebled clef caused by this strife
Of living acapella
Lusting for the rhythm of a better life
As music seeks to strike a chord within my spirit
There is no major way for me to hear it
In isolation, how do I with my syncopated instrument
Orchestrate a sense of harmony
Not as one isolated incident…
…But as one with song that’s learned to dance with me

“Confessions Of A Soul Mate”

22 Friday Jun 2012

Tags

@paulamunos, @tonyhaynes, Facebook, Life, Love, Maya Angelou, Music, Poetry, Relationships, Romance, Soul, Twitter, Writing

Sometimes I bore you
Sometimes I stress you
I adore you
I would rather decompress you
I confess
You…
Are the soul mate
I have had visions of
You are my life
And I live for your love

“Sweet Words”

18 Monday Jun 2012

Tags

@paulamunos, @tonyhaynes, @WriterPublisher, Art, Blog, Love, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Relationships, Romance, Tony Haynes, Writing

I gaze at you and the stars
I wonder why they don’t compare
You shine brighter than they are
You make me need you more than air

I breathe you in
Exhale you out
Receive you when
The rose buds sprout

All at once I softly sigh
You smiled again and caught my eye
Silly me what could I do?
I found sweet words and wrote a few

“The Unconditional Condition”

07 Thursday Jun 2012

Tags

@paulamunos, Blog, Facebook, Love, Maya Angelou, Relationships, Romance, Tony Haynes, Twitter, Unconditional love, Writing

Sometimes you make me smile unconditionally
At times I cry when I think about what you do to me
The condition you leave me in
How you grieve me when
You have to go
It’s as if you’re conditioning me
To retrieve me in
Your afterglow
Is there something I have to know?
Have I nothing to worry over?
Or am I right tonight to have suspicion?
By daylight if you don’t hurry over
Must I discard my condition?
And allow you to flee you and me
Unconditionally

“I Don’t Always Get It Right”

31 Thursday May 2012

Tags

@paulamunos, @tonyhaynes, @WriterPublisher, Facebook, Love, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Relationships, Writing


(For The Woman of My Dreams)

I know I don’t always get it right
But when I do
It’s like lightning in a bottle unleashed
Think of it as a remedy for the common cold
I become a man who found his niche

My mother prayed for this day to come
Although she didn’t live to see it
I got a feeling she put a good word in
And something greater helped me be it

Because I don’t always get it right
Heaven knows it’s true
How could having this be wrong when what
Makes it right is you

I can brag about the way you kiss me
The way you pout the way you miss me
And finding out you can’t resist me
Brings me much delight
The pressure’s on and I insist we
Snuggle up tonight
But before we do let’s make a list we
Follow so we don’t fight
I love the way it makes me feel
When I get it right

“You Mean The World To Me”

21 Monday May 2012

Tags

@paulamunos, @tonyhaynes, @WriterPublisher, Facebook, Literature, Love, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Relationships, Tony Haynes, Twitter

I may never get the chance again
I may as well not hold it in
You mean the world to me

I may not get to tell it all
I may suffer from withdrawals
When we roll separately

You mean the world to me

More than I’ve conveyed
More than I’ve displayed
More than any frequency

You mean the world to me

And in case this is my final call
And I lose my wherewithal
Just know eternally
You mean the world to me

“Better Half”

06 Sunday May 2012

Tags

Facebook, Life, Love, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Relationships, Tony Haynes, Twitter, Writing


When I think of you
I fly my flag above at half mast
From whatever prime it is
I see the one I love at half past
Whatever time it is
All because I gave my heart so half ass
Today the climate is
Cold, damp & dark – a half glass
Without a lime & fizz
And I’m too old to pour a spark
I’m half as strong as usually
That’s why you were my better half
And when I think of you
I long for what used to be

i should have said “I Love You” more

02 Wednesday May 2012

Tags

Acrostic, Facebook, Love, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Relationships, Tony Haynes, Twitter, Writing

I should have said, “I love you” more

So many times I could have
Held you in my arms and
Opened up – I really should have
Used the time more preciously
Looking back from here I would have
Done whatever I did not – now that I know I could have

How could time just slip away?
And time again my heart ignore
Virtually every thing
Each part of me is sorry for…

…My number one regret is
I should have said, “I love you” more
