To all the brooding poets...don't say goodbye

As I read these well crafted beautiful poems, I'm drawing the conclusion that all poets (at least on Shine) are afraid to be straightforward and tell the objects of their desires how they feel. Not speaking to Poet OS, he has told the woman he is waiting on to return to him as far as I know.

Silent Knight. That is a probem in itself. You have to speak up. I know it is scary but women aren't mind readers honey. A Silent Knight will have many silent nights. Unless the woman you write so beautifully about is in a happy MARRIAGE or engagement. You got to say to her "Hey, I like you. I want to be with you." You poetic types don't seem to realize it is that simple.


Call me contradictory. I did use a line from this video here when discussing women to a younger coworker who sounded like he was ready to give up on women at such a young age. He's relatively cute, a bit on the skinny side. But I feel like his fallacy is that he is still searching for "the total package".  I said, "Girls are like buses. Miss one next fifteen one coming."

For the type of girls he likes, he needs to forgive some personality traits.

    You almost got it right. I use to be in love. My blog is filled with poems that reach all the way back to 1996, til now. That was the year I graduated and this is the year I have truly grown up. I'm at the point where tears don't fall and the pain went numb. I am not looking for sex or love. I am the silent knight because I've finally found peace in my endless darkness. I'm just here to help other people with deep personal issues that are harder to express than explain. I was born in a place where black kids are forgotten. I hate to see wasted potential. I'm more use to critisizm than support, but that's ok because it just makes me stronger. I felt dead from the inside for a long time as blessed as I was, because all I ever wanted was one thing. Love calls out to me, but I can't reach it. I guess it's fate, but I'm living for hope. I don't have that special woman who loves me the way I'd love her and at this very moment I have an 8 month year old son that I haven't seen in almost a month in a half. I have to wait on the courts. I got to see my son for 3 months of his life and all the time inbetween is killing me worse than anyone would care to know. I can't get the help I need, so I do the best I can with the little I have. People have thier own problems anyway. This is just my little place to vent, but I'm not sad because all I have is hope. Even in my darkest hours I will not give up.

    I am filled with so much light, but it's just not the right time to smile yet... and I don't mean a fake smile. I mean that real genuine smile that shines from within. I'll get to one day, one day at a time. Thank you for listening.

    I've learned to lower my voice and strengthen my arguments because I've been through enough to know how to choose my battles wisely. I've wasted alot of energy on people who are not in my life right now. I am more of a lover than a fighter now, because GOD is love. That doesn't mean I'm GOD or perfect by any stretch of the imagination. That just means the closer I am to GOD the better I will feel. Besides you know what you get after you win a fight. You get more fights for more victories. There have been some great fighters in history, but I can't think of one who won them all. Fighting is like second nature to me. I know that better than anything else, but I'm done destroying people thinking it will help me in some kind of way. I love stronger and that's why I suffer as I have. It would be so easy for me to continue sleeping with another woman and another woman, but I'd rather prepare my life for the right one. I have sin al through and through me. It's killing me to change and that's why some parts of me have to die so others can live. My balance is getting better through all my trials. I haven't really lost anything if what I have gained is priceless beyond measure.
