jack sparrow I
Such a great line!!
"I'm not a love poet but..." I've got some news for you Rudy.
Casually looking down an seeing this comment made the whole experience 1,000 times better
"but I'm not a rapper" - SupaHotFire
I'm in the back yelling "stop the cap" when he says I'm not a love poet 😂
"I'd write about your eyelashes and how they are like violin strings that play symphonies every time you blink." I. Got. Chills.
“do all the things he was too afraid to do” - had to pause and scream for a minute *resume video* “like trust you” - had to pause, get up on of bed, walk around, vigorously flailing my arms so i don’t holler & wake up my neighbors. GOOD LORD. rudy you got the words.
“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.” That gave me chills
😔
That's actually one of the problems I had with this; it made me uncomfortable. He would be taking away her autonomy, and it feels like the ultimate control. I understand that he's saying he loves her, but it felt more like obsession and just felt icky.
@@chloewilliams1702 The reference of that line is biblical tho about how Eve was made out of from the rib of Adam
@@chloewilliams1702 you somehow found a way to make something positive seem negative 🤦♂you're entitled to your interpretation/opinion tho I guess.
@@chloewilliams1702 Whaf a baffun you are!
"Love is blind so I write my poems in braille" 👏🏿
To the girl who works at the Starbucks down the street from my house on Delmar Heights Road, swear to God, I'm not a stalker.
That's the title.
When I asked you for a chai latte, what I meant was, I was walking past, I saw you in the window.
To be honest, I only came in here because I had to know what your voice sounded like.
Instead of saying that, I got really nervous and ordered the first thing on the menu.
I don't even know what chai is. Or a latte, for that matter.
I imagine that when God made you, I bet he cussed for the first time. I bet he turned to an angel, gave him a high-five, and said goddamn, I'm good.
Or me damn I'm good, cause he's like God, right?
I spent the last five days trying to figure out how I'm going to introduce myself to you properly. I finally figured it out, it's going to be something like "Hi."
That's all I got so far, but I think it's a good start.
I'm gonna be honest, it's not often that I find myself eager to write about love. In fact, every time I try to write about love, my hands cramp, just to show me how painful love can be. Sometimes my pencils break just to prove to me that every now and then, love takes a little more work than you planned.
I heard that love is blind, so I write all my poems in Braille. And my poems are never actually finished because true love is endless.
I've always believed that real love is kind of like a supermodel before she's airbrushed. It's pure, and imperfect just the way that God intended.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not much of a love poet, but if I was to wake up tomorrow morning and decide that I was gonna write about love, my first poem- it would be about you.
About how 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.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not much of a love poet, but if I was, I'd write about how I see your face in every cloud, your reflection in every window. You see, I've written a million poems hoping that somehow maybe some way, you'll jump out of the page and be closer to me.
See I'm not much of a love poet, but if I was, I'd write about how you have the audacity to be beautiful even on days when everything around you is ugly.
I'd write about your eyelashes and how they are like violin strings that play symphonies every time you blink.
If I was a love poet, I'd write about how I melt in front of you like an ice sculpture every time I hear the vibration in your voice and whenever I see your name on the caller ID, my heart plays hopscotch inside of my chest. It climbs onto my ribs like monkey bars, and I feel like a child all over again.
And I know it's gonna sound weird, but 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.
And I swear I'm usually not a love poet, but if I was to wake up tomorrow morning and decide that I was going to write about love, my first poem- it would be about you.
And after all of that, she was like, "But how do you feel about me?"
And I said, "Put it like this, I want to be your ex-boyfriend's stunt double. I want to do everything he never had the courage to do, like trust you."
See, last night I had a dream. In this particular dream, I died in my dreams, awoke not knowing I was still sleeping, decided to walk. See, that night, I walked in my sleep, I slept in my walk, I walked backwards until I saw you for the first time and I could barely muster the courage to introduce myself all over again.
You see, I've been trying to find the right words. I've been trying to take the right steps to what seems to me like thousands of years, but something always seems to go wrong between us.
We lived in Egypt, I was the Pharaoh's slave, you were his daughter. Loving you led to my death. They claimed I seduced you, and after they stole my life, I was resurrected as a mason, I made the foundation for your house. We met eyes for two seconds, you left, then I didn't see you again until I died.
I came back as a caterpillar, I turned into a butterfly, I landed in the palm of your hands, you brushed me away and the rejection killed me.
When I woke, I was a kick drum, you were a snare; we were both owned by this drummer named Cozy Cole and when he died, so did we, but I came back just to look for you.
I left notes in random places hoping that you would stumble across them, I carved our names in trees and then prayed that it would jog your memory. I whispered your name in the wind, hoping somehow, maybe some way, my voice would reach you, but it didn't, and I died- I died early, I died young with bread crumbs in my hand just hoping that you would find me, but you never did, so they buried me.
When they buried me, they put these coins over my eyes and I used them as bus fare to get back to earth just so I could look for you.
That's why sometimes when we hold hands, every so often, I hold on a little too tight, and I'm sorry.
I just don't want to lose you again.
My mother told me, when you find the perfect woman, you gotta do whatever it takes to make sure she stays next to you.
- Rudy Francisco, "Love Poem Medley"
How do i copy this
tysm
Good work
Rena Lin thanks.
Rena Lin Was i
I love how I've heard this one so many times before but I fall in love with it all over again each time. Seriously, it's like watching it for the first time each time I see it, such a grand chap with such captivating words. Amazing
Harlie Smith I couldnt agree more!!!
Me too
Same
P.S. I love how he sometimes performs two or three poems altogether 😊
How did u make it dis far guy ,am just a starter
I'm a simple man, I see "Rudy" I press like button before even starting the video cuz I know it's going to be good.
We can all write like this when we are in love. Love is beautiful and inspiring, when it's real, it's consuming and it's your high. You feel it in your veins, her next call, text, picture, hug, kiss, it's my fix that gets me high. You always feel their love, surrounding you like a blanket, you're warm. When love is real, you can do anything, be anything, be better for you and be better for her. When love is real, constant thoughts of her invade your mind, consuming your thoughts and you two feed off of each other because you're starving and you're eating each others fears, desires, dreams, feelings, and hopes, feeding each other's souls. When love is real, they are your best friend, diary, rock, world, universe, everything. You grow with them, build with them, mature with them, live for them and if need be, die for them. Love is inspiring, beautiful, and powerful and real love is indeed magical. Like a river, it can wash away your pain. Like a drug, it will get you high. Like adrenaline, make you feel alive. When love is real, there isn't anything you wouldn't do for them.
wow
I fucking love thia
BUT CAN U WRITE A POETRY BOOK AS THICK AS HIM I HAVE HIS BOOK ITS THICK NOT TO MENTION AS OTHER THICK POETRY BOOK ITS ACTUALLY DIFFICULT TO WRITE A THICK BOOK. TO WRITE A POETRY A ONE TITLE PAGE ITS EASY BUT TO EXPAND IT AND MAKE IT SENSIBLE N MORE SENSE DERIVING FROM ONE MAIN TITLE. WELL I GUESS IF U HAVE DEGREE N HAVE EXPERIENCE ON THESIS WRITING ONLY THEN U CAN WRITE A POETRY BOOK. JUST MY OPINION. SORRY.
humanity got more sensitive to love faster than the primitive biology behind it could keep up. it’s a flawed system & most of us will never experience it.
I might not know much about love, but I know that I am in love with Rudy's poetry.
"If I was a love poet..." I'm sorry, but I think you're already a love poet Rudy. This was beautiful.
You're just out of this world ~~~
This man gives me the goosebumps, "I heard that love is blind, so I write all my poems in Braille. And my poems are never actually finished because true love is endless." this line always get me, so beautifully written and so true 👏👏👏
Sometimes, just one “like” doesn’t describe all my emotions. Thank you.
I’ve listened to this about a million times and every time I’m moved. This man is a legend
Everytime.. Every damn time I hear Rudy's poem. I feel mine is trash, it means I have alot of room to improve!
atleast you can write a poem
I am moved to tears……EACH time I hear his beautiful poetry….. I’ll never be able to thank you enough for the therapy that I receive from your perfect words!
I think I'll cry every time I hear or read this poem. Love is such a tragically beautiful experience and those lucky enough to feel it this deeply are blessed. Thank you Rudy for reminding me ❤
"I loved you the same way I learned to ride a bike, scared. But reckless with no training wheels or pads, so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you" ❤
The beginning of this is so When great poetry meets stand up comedy. Amazing I loved every second
this is easily his best written poem. every now and again i listen to this piece.
To this DAY.
TO THIS DAY.
this poem lives rent free in my head
Oh Rudy!!! It's 11pm here and I always wait for the video on this channel. When I saw my favourite, I was more excited 😊😊😎
Talk about the perfect man, a man who’s love is so strong, he writes for you, not ignoring you.
" after all of that." " She asked, but, how do you feel about me?" Lolololol
you have no idea how badly i want to meet this man, when i searched for broken hearts, i found a poem about love and one I'll never forget one that the little fine line between me giving up on it and trying again., if love wants find me it knows where I am and if i doesn't i'll try to love myself as hard as it will be whatever is people couldn't see in me, I will see in myself and look for until the ends of this earth because why make me if it was waste of my time, my life will never be that again, it will be time you wish you could have more of. I will make myself the person people wish they still had, I will make myself love me.
If I don’t have love like this I don’t want it
I love everything that comes out of this man’s mouth
I will wait patiently for a love like this 💞
Every poem, every word, simply amazing. His talent is beyond words.
I love quoting love poems to one of my friends, but he doesn't know the real reason is because I truly love him
Wow, I feel the exact same way about my "love poems" and poems in general; I've written... spoken... a lot of poetry (>300) and less than 10% are what I would consider love poems, even less love poems to or about someone. All of the insecurities Rudy expresses in his words, face, body... I felt that throughout most of my life until poetry found me, until music found me, and together they taught me to speak. They helped me to stand up. Still an enigma to most, my heart swells when I listen or read poets like Rudy. Words craddle and run marathons across my brain until I just have to get them on paper, and most don't even make it to the door before they try to knock. I didn't have the sense that I was a real person until I was gifted the kind of freedom one gets from the spoken word.
My best still doesn't feel like it's good enough, and I'm not sure if it ever will. Yet I'm okay with that because somewhere, somehow I know that my best and my love has always been plenty to those who truly know me, or have felt and experienced the world like a constant, but silent hurricane as I have.
but Rudy... Rudy bares us his soul and already feels like our friend.
I'll get there someday. I will get there someday, but I need the help of other creatives and kindred spirits...
nope i didn't tear at all, this is beautiful and i felt THAT
Ugh the fact this made me cry. so beautiful
Will always love Rudy Francisco's poetry. So incredible.
He doesn't write or deliver any thing other than, THE BEST WORD ART I've heard delivered by a male. Love this guy♥️♥️♥️
I've listened to him recite his poem now several times and have tears streaming down my face every single time. I relate it to my late husband completely. This is incredibly beautiful.
I wanna be loved by Rudy just for a day.
I want to be the girl in starbucks
Check out some of my POEMs if you get a chance
You are in someone's poem
the audacity of this man to make me feel this way, damn
I had a Spotify playlist of poems on while I slept last night, but this and only this poem woke me up. I had a dream that went along with the poem, so I had to get up and put “I’m not really a
love poet but...” into my Safari search bar so that I could actually listen to it again when I woke up for real.
Poem I wrote would love to hear feedback from anyone
To whom it may concern (Love letter)
Maybe you and I were never supposed to meet
It's like anytime I go out and try
I suffer defeat
Losses shouldn't make me suffer but sometimes I let them
cause victories are harder to manage and lead to a prideful heart only to be humiliated once again by the inevitable return of defeat
Sometimes I wish I was numb to the emotions that drive me deeper and deeper into sadness because without them I wouldn't be searching so tirelessly for something so impossibly unattainable
The epitome of Irony creeps forward revealing itself ever so quietly in my life
The ones that I love the most unknowingly cause my heart to shatter
I am defeated mentally as again and again I take the back seat so that they may find the happiness I am seeking
Maybe it is all together my fault because I don't tell them how much I love them or maybe it's my fault for hoping at all when time and time again I fall short
How can it be that I'm too much yet never enough at the same time?
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that I don't have the answers and I'm sorry that my deep rooted selfishness gets the better of me and ultimately causes my failure
The altruism I wish for others to perceive is clouded by ulterior motives that I pray escape me but always exist whether I recognize them or not
I wish the man you love was me, but the insurmountable sins piled high suffocate his being
Yet
I cannot give up because true love is unconditional and
I love you deeply, so here I am living with just a glimmer of hope that in my weakness you may find strength
Vulnerable I may be, but strong I will become
and when that time comes I may finally find what I've been searching for all along...
Finally I will see why I had to endure such torment and in that very moment my suffering shall fade away only to be replaced tenfold by the joy I've been longing for, but until then all I can say is
I love you
Really really good... You should write more often
It's good, good job as upcoming poet myself you did good 👍
tears. every. single. time. Always so moved by this one.

I could never tire of listening to this love poem. I wish that I were a poet. I sure do love listening to poems especially if it’s written especially for me.
Ugh man .... idk how many I’ve watched this but it’s touching my heart in a way that makes my heart stop and tears drop ... every time.
Your poems feel real and experiences I relate to. So happy I found you expressing exactly how I feel time after time. Your deliverance intense.
Love is life, life is love!
Its amazing how love turns our speech into poetry. I felt this in my spirit.
Your poem leaves me speechless! How does one describe color, warmth, and depth in existence. Thank you for putting value to humanity🙏🏽💕
I freaking love this. I can't stop watching it!!
I watch this video and I cry and laugh hard each time more and more. My ex sent me this video often and says it reminds her of me and the love she had for me. She was tough but had a soft spot for me. I was her Pudding to her Joker. We had a bond that was unexplainable. I’ll never forget the feeling in my stomach when I got the call she passed away. It’s been almost 4 months .. but I will never stop watching this video.
My heart!!! My stomach!!! 😭 cant stop crying
I've listened to this poem a million times and I get chills every time!!!
