Poetic Visions: Beyond Expression

By Gary Simmons

This is a rare and epic poem on the emotion of love and deep affection. In a world conflicted with heartbreaks, lies, cheating, jilting, and backstabbing, the poem goes a long way in healing unseen wounds and patching up sored invisible heart injuries. 

Love they say is a beautiful thing, hence the poet with his words wonderfully weaved together has carved a cliche for himself in enhancing savories related to the matters of the heart.

This collection of poems serves as the best of its kind in recent times having achieved its purposes in quantum.

Can’t Believe It

February 18, 2008

I just can’t believe it

How she told me that she loves me

but inside she barely trusts me

Can’t believe that she said it but didn’t mean it

How could she tell me such strong words?

Love, four letters that I’ve never felt or held

Just can’t see it to believe it

I can’t make it or take it, still how could she even say it

Can’t believe it, how she would carry me through this

So emotional the way she does it

And how she tells me over the phone but close can’t show it

Love leads me on time and time and time, and time again

Unlike I’m like, where does this relationship of ours start and end?

But since you told me you loved me, I ask, did it ever truly begin?

I can’t believe it still, that I just couldn’t open to see it.

Mistreatment of Love

March 11, 2008

Love and the way we take it for granted

Love and life how we mistreat it

And how we all suffer from it when we most need it

So how come we take advantage of such an emotional treatment

Mistreatment of love and how we misuse it

Abandon it fully

Misrepresentation of the emotional understanding

So, how come we neglect love, life, and its existence?

Life which stands as a gift from heaven up high

But we still don’t appreciate each blessing inside

Which is given to the entire human race with kindness but still,

Love is what we all fail to see due to emotional blindness

Life we breathe and love we receive

We stray from accepting all and each

Only because we’re far away from opening to search and seek

But in our heart, we shall reach to see both are precious

If life and love, we wouldn’t mistreat.

Love

March 10, 2008

After a hard day of work

Feeling tired and out of breath

Body in pain, suffering as it hurts

But as I enter my home, love begins to help

I head to the shower

And my bathwater has been turned on, steaming hot

I begin to wash and bathe my body

Then love comes along to join me

I exit the shower while water is dripping

Love again comes and starts assisting,

Drying then lotion me down everywhere

Rather long away of up close, love is there

Comfortable relaxing in bed

Lights are off and the temperature is set

Body held close together through the night

Continuously held close till the morning sunlight

As morning awakes me

Love, I stare in the face

Pull her close, and hug her

Then kiss her for a moment, say I love her as we embrace

Repeats the same, and I listen with a response of thank you so much

Because without you; I wouldn’t know what to do without love.

Love Conversation

March 19, 2008

Dear Love, may we have some time together

Just for a moment to discuss

Emotions inside my heart That I keep hidden so deep

Love, how come each time I invest I’m unappreciated and mistreated?

At the end of the process of getting and feeling close

But yet when I open, still I’m broke going nowhere

Love, am I deserved? And don’t I deserve you?

What’s behind the search for true love

And how do I know when its official?

Love, I opened with putting feelings first, so what else do I do?

Love, you are what I desire deep down inside

But tell me why so many others are so blind to see

That I stand as an unconditional love with kindness

Only when others fail to realize kindness for weakness upon me

Love conversation held a moment or few

Lust enough to express and be open to you

Love spoke at last and said that anything’s possible

Stay open and free, soon Love would present itself officially.

Lifetime Love

March 24, 2008

Love for a lifetime is what I desire

My heart inside offering emotions of the best

Lifetime love from someone I can offer the rest

Lifetime love unlimited reception

Love that I can receive unconditionally

With treatment of loving affections between each:

Of feelings developmentally so deep

Love with a commitment

Lifetime service and an unconditional treatment

Spoiling me, through unlimited love

But a true dedication of a relationship through blessings above

Lifetime soulmate!

Love to live out for a lifetime

Love of a journey which the future holds

And a never-ending development between both

Leading to a loving lifetime future living out so close.

Why Do We

February 20, 2008

Why do we judge our own people?

As though we don’t care or even need them?

Altogether, or in general, we judge each other

From ourselves and friends to family and neighbors

Why do we pass by and judge?

But not even know inside or behind the love

We judge what we don’t love or trust

And we trust and love what and who we judge every day

Why do we mistreat our brothers and sisters?

And how come we mistreat our future daughters?

Why do we disrespect, and refer to each other as names of such?

Not knowing that there could possibly mean more and so much

If only we as people would learn to love and trust before we judge.

Emotional Effect

March 25, 2008

Time and time again you ask why me?

Over and over you ask again why me?

How come it must be back to back?

What have I done to deserve this?

Gave him my each and everything

And appreciation he still lacks

Thinking to yourself if you can go any further

Sick and tired of being mistreated and hurt

Wondering to yourself is there anyone I deserve

If each one allowed their past to affect their future

Happiness and new opportunities wouldn’t exist

So why allow ex-lovers in the past

Control what future lovers haven’t caused?

I knew how you feel inside

Were you meant to be,

Or maybe he was not ready for you yet

Maybe he just couldn’t handle a relationship

Why allow that one experience to control the rest?

If everyone would remain calm and open

Then better relationships would be available to you

Happiness between each other could be possible;

If each of us, among each other, didn’t allow one to affect another.

Push Me Away

March 21, 2008

They say you never know what you have till it’s gone

So, with that, they never knew till I was gone

Never knew what they had when I was around

Now I’m not, and karma came down

Love pushed away more than once

When I’m headed towards it and it feels real

Like as I’m headed into it

I’m
