FALLEN
G. Stokes
When I see you, my mind just floats away to paradise.
Me and you running on the beach, with a warm breeze brushing up on our arms. Our bodies soaking wet from the aqua blue exotica
ocean. Laughs we exchange, noses touching as I whisper sweet nothings to you.
Then my mind shifts to another dream. You sitting across
from me on the subway you send your bedroom eyes my way. I accept them without any thought we stand up, look into each others
eyes without saying a word and when the sub stops we both go our separate ways.
Watching television on the couch with you and your dog.
We spend the whole day inside. I teach you how to hold the pool stick correctly. You look back with a gin on your face. I
just laugh and smile. After the game we feed each other some ice cream. Again you gaze your brown eyes into mine, while sitting
on my lap. After all this, I can say is that Im fallen.
-----------------------------------------------
FALLEN
easily said. I really like the Mya song, so thats where the whole concept comes from. I had a lot of fun writing this, cause
I thought about as a video. Like each paragraph is a different scene. Second best in the book. CLASSIC.
-----------------------------------------------
I JUST HOPE
G. Stokes
Im changing drastically not slowly, cause many times
I have no clue whats up with me. When people ask how am I, I dont say nothing cause I dont know. Im leaving the area, which
I was born in and also grew to love it. My friends Im moving from, but not leaving behind. Just the fun times will be at a
low. Hopefully I dont get home sick, which I probably will, I just hope I can handle it.
-----------------------------------------------
I JUST HOPE its me basically hoping that
I dont get homesick.
-----------------------------------------------
ONE WAY RELATIONSHIP
G. Stokes
Im really fooled, Im moving away and the one person I thought would miss me, looks like she wont. She
hasnt picked up the phone to give me a ring in a while. I guess Im pretty shocked, cause shes suppose to be my girlfriend.
I always thought it was one way, looks like Im right. Everytime we would talk she always mentioned money coming from my hand
to her hand, never the other way around.
-----------------------------------------------
ONE WAY RELATIONSHIP
its about a couple, the boy has to move away, but the thing is that his girlfriend never saw him before he left.
-----------------------------------------------
INTERNET LOVE
G. Stokes
It was in the early 90s that somebody made a song called
Computer Love. It was a good song it was basically about a boy falling in love with this girl online. I never doubted that
they couldnt fall in love over the internet. Just like everyday unexpected stuff would happen I couldnt see me falling in
love. One night I had met this girl named Kier, she was real nice. And when I got off of the internet I was still smiling
cause she put her aura in me. Ever since then, we kept on talking either on the phone or over the instant messenger and also
through e-mail. Shes wonderful to me, when my mind is thinking about work its also thinking about her. When Im sleep, Im dreaming
about her. So If you ask me if you can fall in love over the computer, I would say Yeah you can, cause I did.
-----------------------------------------------
INTERNET LOVE
its my remake of Computer Love if yall have ever heard of it
before.
-----------------------------------------------
I JUST
G. Stokes
Since I moved loneliness has moved in. During the day,
do the ole. I have couple of friends which are my cousins, so that doesnt really count. Im wanting a hug from my mom, ride
around with my friends, laugh with my old co-workers, I miss seeing the different types of people who would usually be on
the bus. I miss riding pass places that I have history at. I miss seeing familiar faces. I miss seeing my coco, chocolate,
brown sugar females. I miss seeing girls in black D.C.s and jeans. I miss my bed the most. I just miss them all.
-----------------------------------------------
I JUST - basically me talking about the things I miss
in Norfolk. From my friends and the stores.
-----------------------------------------------
FRIENDS WE MUST STAY
G. Stokes
My nose is starting to run and my eyes are beginning to become watery,
Im about to cry. Its not a show, because Im the only one on this bus. My feelings for this person has become stronger, I still
wanna be her friend, but I also want to be her man. Youre probably asking yourself why dont we go out, well she already has
a man. Good news for him, bad news for me. She has everything that Ive been looking for now three years. I dont look for much.
But she fits all those categories. She doesnt seem happy with him at times. But I know she loves him very dearly. Our conversations
have increased over the months. Another wish I wanted to come true, slips through my fingers, damn. Friends we must stay I
see.
-----------------------------------------------
FRIENDS WE
MUST STAY is to my friend I was really feeling, but I couldnt
make no move
because she had a boyfriend.
-----------------------------------------------
MISSING YOU
G. Stokes
Not a day goes by, without me thinking about you. I
now think what I asked for, I shouldnt have. Tossing and turning in my bed at night. Thoughts of you run through my head.
Memories we had together are golden in my mind. Like the day that made me think, thats the official day that the love I had
for you turned into, I love you. Me, myself didnt think we would have made it this far. But as you see somethings were out
of our reach. I remember when you touched my face to kiss me. When I held you tight in my arms comforting you from pain. Since
I moved my mind hasnt been on working. It stayed in Norfolk, cause its always on you. You were and are a great friend, youre
everything a boyfriend could ask for. Not missing a single thing. You were close to my heart and will always be there, cause
youll always have a place in my heart Glori.
-----------------------------------------------
MISSING YOU is about my ex-girlfriend and how I miss her, but also wishing her luck with her future and also with relationships. This one is my favorite in this book.
CLASSIC.
-----------------------------------------------
HELP ME UP
G. Stokes
Through the struggle and the pain, the ones who never turned their backs on me no matter what. The ones
who were there when I needed somebody in my corner, when I flashed the light at my other friends they ran away like roaches,
but yall were the brave ones. The ones who would say yes even before I asked the question, these type of people. I roll with,
the ones I need in my corner. Because if I fell down who will be there to help me up. My true friends.
-----------------------------------------------HELP
ME UP its a poem to my true friends. Real simple.
