In May, I met someone who has changed my life. In June, I told him I loved him and despite everything, he loved me too. In July, my boyfriend passed away. In August I received a parcel, including nine envelopes. One of them was full of poems he wrote for me, but inside there was also a slip of paper with a few links to UA-cam videos. 'Good poetry to make up for my bad poetry.' In September, I finally gathered the courage to watch the videos. This was one of them. I can't thank you enough.
I pray you find enough courage to let love back in and I know your boyfriend wants you to be happy and smile. Thank you for sharing. I will make sure to hug my hubby a little long and remember your story. God bless.
I saw a GIF of a line from this poem on Tumblr months ago and I couldn't get it out of my head because it was so beautiful. I finally decided to find the entire poem and I'm so glad I did because this is so amazing.
I could watch this forever. Every word is breathtaking. Spoken word is an art form that needs to be revived. Lord find me a man who can pour his heart like this😫
I want love like this to exist. But this is... too beautiful for me to believe in. Words are always wonderful but... no one loves like this. We are too imperfect.
I've listened to this many times and each time it's like the first time if not better this time because now I'm experiencing the type of love you spoke of.
I think 6,830 people would disagree. Well...writing poetry that "sucks ass" got me 3 city grand slam titles, a national poetry slam title, an individual world poetry slam title and a national tour. You should try it out and see where it takes you lol
pure, one of the best forms of simplicity, put into words that can only be put into words and comprehended when you have felt love to eternity and beyond (and even then you do not fully comprehend the realm of love), honest; thank you for the truth
"I swear that when our lips touch, I can taste the next 60 years of my life." "she is my musician, and me, I'm her favorite song." Incredible poem. You are so talented. I absolutly love this poem.
I heard this in my Spanish Class because my teacher is getting married and now i havent stopped listening to this and all the rest of his poems. LOOOOOVEEEEEEE ITTTTTTT!!!!!!
Omggggg 4 years ago I wrote this in my notes and I found the note and I’m like “there’s no way I wrote this” and I looked it up and got the chills I got the first time I saw this
Thank you @rudyfrancisothepoet for this poem. I promise you that these words are EVERYTHING and then some that I want to speak to my significant other. To me it tells the story of how I feel and so much more. I write poetry as well, and I listen to this poem over and over for some inspiration when I am writing along with some music. Your poetry is AWESOME!!! Again, THANK YOU!!! Keep doing what you are doing!!!
Wooow. This moved me and struck the heart strings of my very soul. You are so inspiring, Rudy. I'm rooting for you. Thank you for sharing down thing so beautifully creative and melodic.
Seriously, I totally flipped upside down when I watched this. You're absolutely amazing. Don't let anyone tell you you're not. God bless you. Continue to write poems from your heart! :)
I can't say anything else but amazing...there is literally no other words to describe this poem. I really connected and felt that. Keep doin whatchu do!
If you're a real poet you respect other poets writing. Just because his style is different than yours or he doesnt rhyme every line doesnt mean its "sucks ass". Listening to his words inspired me and made me actually think anout love in a whole different way! Fuck the haters my boy keep doing your thing because you are passionate and it fits you! Dont ever stop God Bless Great Job!!!

Thanks for sharing your story, you were blessed with a God-send but unfortunately angels sometimes have to return home.
God bless.
Oh, my heart 🥺 such a beautiful heartbreaking story. I hope you’ve been able to heal and find love again 💗
