Love. To some it is just a word, but to the other few it is a gift. A gift that is given only when it is rightfully earned. My perspective of love is a whole panoramic vision, from high above to all around. Not all cherish it. In reality, many take advantage of it to benefit for their own self. I have not found a true love. You can see me as a man that does not force himself to fall in love. I rather let it happen. I do believe in destiny and that way it will be more unique and memorable.

My ideal woman paints purity and natural essence. I can picture her now. She’s someone that puts out time to listen, to care, to share conversations, to breathe with me. She is someone that is smart, ambitious, strong, understanding, humorous, and has a heart of a child. Laughter is one of the greatest emotions a human being can express. All I can do right now is smile to myself thinking of this ideal woman. I can only sketch her out, paint her in my mind, and wait for her to walk into my life one day. I’m patient, for when that day arrives it will be filled with sunshine. I would then smile, gazing in peace, knowing that the wait was truly worth it all.

I admire a lot about love, especially the beauty. I’m not speaking about the beauty of the body figure, but the beauty of the mind. I admire the mind of a woman because it shows so much tenacity and relentless passion. People tend to think that men are stronger than woman. Well if you are speaking of physical strength then of course men are. However, women do deal with more obstacles than a man. Giving birth, parenting, facing sexism, stereotypes, etc. We don’t realize this since we tend to overlook the reality.

My poetry does touch on this topic and other relations. Through reading my book I will take you through the simplest phases of love. I will define it's meaning in my perspective and show you my thoughts. Love is often seen as an item. Something that is taken for one's own collection. Of course it is not right. We must be aware of those who defy the blinded eye.

Love. An expression of the heart. No love may be greater than a love that is unconditional.

Love is blind. Some seek it for salvation and some seek it for their own greed. Indeed, it is a complicated feeling that we all must go through. At times it does torment us, yet to find happiness is worth it all.

We must be strong and endure our own hearts to maintain.

To rise, to fall. That is what love is. Whether you do reach that happiness in your life is up to you. People tend to say, "I love you," and don't even think of it. To say such a thing and not having to feel it is repulsive. Certainly, everyone has their own definition of love.

Men my age, well actually, men of all ages "think" they are so courageous when they "act" tough around women. They put up a disguise of someone they're not and that is throwing away their essence. If a woman doesn't recognize your true self for who you are then you should forget her. You should not change yourself to be someone else just because she wants that character.

I've been told that I'm picky, but what is being "picky"? If I'm picky then everyone must be since my definition of "picky" is having "interest". Men think they're so strong by flaunting their luxury and all. That's not strength in my eyes. Strength is to be able to walk upon your own two feet without heading astray because a woman walked by. When a woman walks by me I don't gaze at her. Instead, I glance at her for a moment and then I glare at the men. Why? Well, it's funny because I didn't realize this in the beginning, but I do this since it's interesting to me and at times disturbing to see the reaction men get. The majority of the time their reaction is beyond being immature.

It is ironic that these are probably the same type of men that call themselves "players". In doing so, they play with the heart of the woman they encounter. Read carefully now. I too am a player, but I am not a player of women, but of life. What does that mean? Well, it means that I am not tempted nor weakened by such petty things, but I choose to be elusive and walk another path. I have a great amount of respect for women, but if that woman does not respect me, nor herself, than she's not a woman.

Bitches? This word is being used more and more each day. My defintion of "bitch" is a fake, phoney. Or one who uses another for one's own benefit. Don't get me wrong here. I am not saying women are bitches. I am stating that a woman whom sleeps with a man for something is a bitch. As a matter of fact there are male bitches too. Hilarious, No? However, it's different when a man does it because they do it freely. While on the other hand that woman is left to either be captivated or pregnant. Do you see where I'm going with this? Women "must" be wise because there are men who do scheme these routines.
