The fact/way that he messed up actually played perfectly into the nervousness of the character in his poem. A fantastic mistake with perfect timing.
He needs to stumble deliberately every time he does this. Timing is everything!
Ahbleza Ah Blaze Ah I see you like poetry huh? Well enjoy this 👉🏽 ua-cam.com/video/zC-qikJ2o5U/v-deo.html
Turns out it was written in his notes everything he needed to repeat
I agree. I actually thought it was intentional before he started running back through the lines
Kintaku93 yeah if he didn’t repeat himself and waited to say the melting line, then his delivery would have seemed so performative.
The thought of his vows when he gets married... omg.
True
They go be epic
exactly
don't know about y'all, but a few lines of this poem are definitely making their way into my marriage vows
Yesss omg I hope he records it !! I WANNA SEE IT
God: "Goddamn he's good."
Yes indeed he is
Perfect be the right word
Ángels: Hey god why’d you say your own name in vain.
God: because my father left me, so saying that is the only remnants of the little aspect of life I’ve lived with him.
God: "Me damn he's good"
Women crave to be loved like this, totally wholeheartedly fearlessly loved.
Adriane Williams i mean some ppl do they just get rejected
People do love like this. I loved like this once and than I found out she was using me.
Everyone craves to be loved like this.
By people they find worthy. Not by people they don’t love
Wishing my bf loved me this way with this much intensity and passion
"Sometimes I pray that God somehow turns you back into one of my ribs just so I would never have to spend an entire day without you."
Damn. Confirmed: Rudy is actually a genius.
Abigail Dieterichs felt that in my core.
I'm just sitting here smilin' like he my man -.-
Jamine Robinson same yoo 😂😂💔
Sammeee girll lollkk
😂😂😂
Me too!!! Lol
Hahahaha sameeee
yo imagine somebody this geeked over you💕🙌
Diamond Hancock swearrrrrr
FACTSSSSS!!!!
Diamond Hancock facts af
Vlone Sam that's what they all do
Diamond Hancock I wish.
I love when he said "That's why sometimes when we hold hands, every so often, I hold on a little too tight. I just don't want to lose you again," and some woman screamed yes. She felt that in her soul and so did I.
that moment (at 3:14) is so beautiful, when rudy stumbles a bit in the poem and the crowd gives him love... what I love so much about the Write About Now community. There's always so much love in the room. I performed my first poem here and I can't wait to go back. The best part of the night are the people you'll meet.
Kristen Monae funny i thought that worse bit
Yashi * I need to pause studying for my maths exam. As soon as I read 3:14 I immediately thought PI
Kristen Monae I know right I keep rewinding to that point because he said he loves how his poems dont have an ending. I just adore that one point
I loved seeing his determination, his confidence knowing it'll come back to him
I'm watching his other performances where he aces this, but I still like this the best. Where he's nervous, the way he stutters and speaks too fast - it's all so genuine. His other performances are just too rehearsed, a lot of that emotion from the gut is just lost compared to this one.
I work at starbucks, and i know it sounds stupid but i love rudy and makes me feel loved
Chica Rawwr that doesn't sound stupid ❤️❤️🐸
Chica Rawwr 😁❤❤
Poets will do that to ya
Chica Rawwr xx
That's absolutely right! :D And I have a really hard time accepting love but he's amazing
When he said, "I'd massage your back until your skin sings songs your lips don't even know the words to", I lost it. Chills, tears (from both sadness & the beauty of his words), and screamed, "Yes!!!" way too many times.
That's actually a borrowed line
" id massage your back until your skin sings songs your lips don't even know the words too" 💛
Will you please explain this line?
"I wanna be your ex-boyfriend's stunt man. I wanna do everything he never had the courage to do....like trust you."
I want to live a second life as a guy to tell this to a girl so she can light up. And then, I want to live a third life as myself where I didn't hear this poem until after my boyfriend used this line on me and I feel harder for him. This is beautiful.
I didn't even know I wanted this until you said it
Ugh girl your mind is beautiful
I'd like to hear what he thinks when he decides she's not the one.
One of the most beautiful lines I have ever heard.
Thank you for messing up. It was perfect. I felt beautiful.
i am completely new to all of this but i think i just fell in love with poetry. wow.
Iamlordeyayaya welcome to the cluuub
Iamlordeyayaya ME TOO
damn... same here man. I think as a kid I was conditioned by cartoons and tv shows that these live poem shows are stupid. Because in the cartoons they would show a character on stage wearing all black, and the audience would rapidly snap their fingers in unison when they got the feels, lol. But if I can find live shows like this in the San Jose area, I will have to go check it out :)
Iamlordeyayaya same
I always thought poetry was dumb but now I love it.
THIS IS LITERALLY THE CUTEST POEM I'VE EVER HEARD
The girl that screamed yes. I'm with you. You were not alone
"If I woke up one day and decided I was gonna write about love, I would write about how I love you the way I loved to learn how to ride a bike. Scared, but wreckless. With no training weels or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you." 💗💗💗💗
That was my favorite part. Thank you!
He has no idea
I love how, even when Rudy messed up, the audience showed him love and he continued EVEN STRONGER than before. Love this man!
“I wanna do everything he never had the courage to do-like trust you” oof that made me tear up
The amount of times I have watched all his poems is unhealthy. Such a huge fan
Same ❤️
Yo me too, I basically know it by heart now. It’s so perfect in every way
Lol 😂saaaaaame! One of my all time favorites! ❤
Omg "i heard that love is blind so I write all of my poems in braille." Omggg that line was so dope!!!!!!!!!!!
I NEVER get tired of listening to Rudy. I have heard this same poem and the entire love poems series at least 10 times and i still love every single one and never skip them. A man this good with words is so sexy!
Tiffany Santana I feel you, complainers is one of my favorites
"I love you the same way I learned how to ride a bike - Scared, but reckless, with no training wheels or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you". OMG that's adorable
"I came back as a butterfly/I landed in the palm if your hand/You brushed me away and the rejection killed me" GOT damn son.
Ok this guy is too smooth
When he says “I swear when our lips touch I can taste the next sixty years of my life.” I felt that and I had to pause it and just take it all in. 🙃🙃❤️❤️
2024 and still listening to this semi impromptu masterpiece
This girl from Starbucks inspired a hell of a beautiful poem
The resurrection bit gave me chills
"I gotta be honest, I'm not much of a love poet" -bihhh wut
Kyle Wynn 🤣
True definition of a man. We sometimes lose ourselves in masculinity and don't spend the time to truly express what we are actually feeling in our heart of hearts💯
The energy of the audience is underrated.
I claim that my husband will be this geeked over me! Amen!
Rudy that was great poetry! Thank you for sharing.
This guy inspired me to be a slam poet myself. This piece started it all for me. Thank you, Rudy. 👌🏾❤️
this poem means so much to me. i come back to it all the time to remind myself that this is what love really feels like.
The past life part really made me tear up and when he says he used the coins on his eyes as bus fair just so he could come back to earth to meet her 👌👌👌 WOW! That's love! Great poem! Great share!
I also work at a starbucks, and I love it when people come in and meet people they end up meshing well with. I love it when people hit on the baristas sincerely - it's such a beautiful spark. And this reminds me not only of that, but of the amazing power of poetry ( we all write new things for love and lust) but so few are as stunning as this.
P.s favorite bit: "I want to be your exboyfriend's stunt man. I want to do everything he didn't have the courage to do. Like trust you."
"Turned to an angel, gave him a high 5 and said Goddamn am good" love this line
Namaste, an inspiring poetry if u like 'World Famous Poem - Alone by Edgar Allan Poe - Awaj Films
Will check it out
think of the juxtaposition of god using his own name in vain
This is the greatest love poem ever written.
You clearly don't know Shakespeare, Rudy is good but Shakespeare was fire
My name is Cleopatra and I work at Starbucks. This is ironic..
Cleo Alvaro
no, that's coincidence.
irony is different.
I'm aware of the differences between the words. Its called Socratic irony. I'm not going to list the similarities in passion and pain I have with this video, on youtube. Thanks anyway.
And you are beautiful enough that God would say damn 😍😍😍
Oh shiz
I’ve known about this poem for about 2 years and till this day this is my favourite poem and it does not fail to make me cry every time.
SAME
One of my absolute favorite love poems. It always make me sob with a deep knowing of the love that I desire, I love that I am, the love that we all are ❤ Breathtakingly beautiful
I had someone who loved me this much and I let him go. Out of fear. Wow Rudy thank you for sharing.
Get him back.
Are y’all married now it’s been 2yrs
How do you feel now Raquel? Do you want him back?
I did too, facing that truth and accepting that I am afraid is one of the hardest things to do
This dude 🤣 "...I heard love is blind, and thats why I write my poetry in braille." Genius!
I love when he couldn't remember the words, everyone eas patient and loving. God bless, his words are magnificent
2072 and im still watching this
When he said I use the coins they put on my eyes a bus ticket to get to you ❤️
overall .. this has to be my favorite poem ever , buh the one part i love the most is when he says “i wanna drink the sunlight in your skin” 🙌🏽🙌🏽
To the girl screaming YESSS 🙌😂 I love her ♥️
A classic but still a fave in 2023.
DID THEY GET TOGETHER THOUGH
Coffee Dragon Yorba you are asking the real questions
I think they did but broke up
Probably not
They did and she left him I'm almost positive "scars" is about the same girl
mran43 scars was made in 2012. he’s telling this poem in the present tense
He said,"I heard that love is blind so I write in braille." I hear you brother!
“ Scared but reckless” I love it 🥰
"I want to be your ex man's stuntman" Yeeaaaussss!
This is so beautiful 🥹🥰! Cried the whole time 😭
this made me text my boo 😭
“I want to drink the sunlight in your skin” 🔥🔥🔥
...true love is endless, big truth
I really didn’t even know he was messing up at first until he started reciting lines he already said. Anywho yeah I loved this poem!! Waiting on God to send me a man like this!
Rudy Francisco is one of the most honest, raw poets we have and I absolutely love him
even the mess up was beautiful, after so many years went by. This is still my favorite spoken word piece. hands down.
This kind of just restored my faith in humanity, or moreso- that love truly does exist.
I love how he continued when he couldn't think of the next line 😂 I like his words though...
Man someone needs to make an animation of this poem
“Cus I know deep down every poet just wanna be loved” ~ j. Cole
That man, that man!!!
My heart still can’t cope… heard it like it was the first time ❤️
“I wanna do everything he never had the courage to do...I wanna trust you!!” Heart melting, cheek to cheek grinning, tripped over my own foot, fell and landed at your feet-just to meet you kind of love! 🥰
Awww man your so real .....
brought tears to my eyes, amazing.
I am screamingggg because I first read these poems in his book “Helium” and seeing it here live...him saying them is just-👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 my Lord.
I'm a listen to two to three poems every 4-5 years. This this is so deep he had a brother with a tear 😭
Imma need a part 2...
I’m always here for this monologue 🥰
My scars will tell the story of how I fell for you ❤️😍😩
I haven’t felt this awestruck by any poem on here in a real long time... my jaw dropped and eyes widened when he started talking about coming back to find her
That part at the end when that women screamed “yes”…. That’s when I broke 🥹🥹🥹🥹
My heart just... 😩😩😭❤️
I’ll never stop watching this
I have never listened to this type of poetry before in my life. I stumbled upon this. And this was beautiful!
4:34 till the end.
He has passed away now but my best friend Troy loved me this much. I'm blessed to have known this love.

To be loved this way sounds so astonishing
Listening to his love poems make me believe in love again❤
Young man don't every STOP keep adding to that live poem it was amazingly beautiful.. God has granted you a gift of words.... never stop ..

This poem ignited something within me, such incredible lyrics!!! Rudy is phenomenal, what a lucky girl 💝💝💝
This will never get old. Amazing.
Fucking phenomenal. Absolutely legend. Love you bro
This is still my favorite poem.
“I wanna do everything he never had the courage to do”.
6k in views and 0 dislikes has to be some sort of a UA-cam record, right?!
One of my favourite peoms
2022 and this shit hit different I swear…
I wish I could like this a million times.
Absolutely beautiful. He’s truly a favorite of mine that I always come back to
Just wrote an essay on this one. This poem was so good it made me actually get interested in writing an essay on it
